Regret Came Too Late (Grace and Ethan)

Grace quickly said, "It's okay, Mr. Henderson. There's still some left in the pot. I'll bring it out again."

Her hand was hurting terribly, but she could only ignore it at this moment. She turned around and went back to the kitchen to get the medicine, but Jodie stepped in ahead of her.

"Step aside. I'll go get it. You'll only dirty the dishes in the house."

Grace was pulled back several steps. After finally steadying herself, she saw that Jodie had already gone into the kitchen. She touched the back of her hand, remaining still.

Out of the corner of her eyes, she caught sight of Ethan gazing toward the kitchen. It was unclear whether he was simply spacing out or worried that Jodie might get burned. He was truly very good to Jodie.

Grace looked down and suddenly heard him ask, "Does it hurt?"

Stunned, she felt a little touched and quickly replied, "It doesn't hurt. Mr.

Henderson, I'm really sorry."

What Jodie had said earlier was right. After all the mistakes Grace had made, how could she still show up in front of Ethan?

Ethan looked up and gazed at Grace's face. She had a small face, and she seemed to feel wronged. The tip of her nose was slightly red, with her long lashes casting a shadow over her features.

He quickly shifted his gaze elsewhere and said lightly, "There's an underground river beneath the land of the Lambert family, making it unsuitable for construction. But only Simon and I know about this."

That was why the Yule family specifically avoided this area when they acquired the surrounding plots.

A hint of surprise crossed Grace's face as she suddenly squatted in front of Ethan. "Thank you so much, Mr. Henderson."

The sparkle in her eyes shone brighter than the stars in the sky, and he seemed flustered. He quickly turned his head away.

Grace was so excited that her chest was pounding with emotions.

The land with the underground river wasn't valuable. At that time, other competitors assumed the Yule family would acquire all the plots, so they didn't bid on this plot, hoping to gain favor with the Yule family.

Little did they know that the Yule family didn't acquire this plot, and it ended up in the hands of Quentin, who won the bid.

No one knew about the underground river yet, so she still had a chance to find a fool to take the land off her hands.

She thought of Edric, who was no longer loyal to Lambert Group and had secretly colluded with another company. Given that, she made up her mind about who the fool should be.

A smile spread across her face as she gazed at Ethan's side profile and promised sincerely. "I'll definitely treat you to a meal after this is over."

He responded with a grunt and kept his face turned away, remaining silent.

She suddenly regretted her absurd

decision to find a substitute. It

must've been so hurtful and an

insult to his feelings. But she didn't want to bring it up again as it would

only make things awkward for both of them.

She quickly found an excuse to leave and informed Selene to have Edric released in two days.

Ethan sat alone in the living room, feeling that even the breeze around him was filled with loneliness.noveldrama

At this time, Jodie walked out with the medicine and complained disdainfully. "She left? I knew it. The moment she gets what she wants, she'll leave without hesitation. That's just who she is. Uncle Ethan you mustn't show her any sympathy. I think she's just trying to take advantage of you."

He looked at the well-brewed medicine in the mug. It seemed like she had put a

lot of effort into preparing it. He lowered his head and finished the medicine.

Jodie became a little anxious and grabbed his arm. "Uncle Ethan, you should hate her."

He slowly placed the mug down. "I do hate her."

Grace would only come to him when she needed something from him. She had always been like this, but she wasn't at fault. She just didn't love him.
