Regret Came Too Late (Grace and Ethan)

Simon was definitely referring to when his sister was kidnapped. But Grace had no memory of it and had no way to defend herself.

Simon seemed like he wanted to say more, but he quickly followed Ethan when he noticed Ethan's wheelchair was already moving away.

Grace stood frozen in place, feeling a chill creeping over her.

It was only after their figures disappeared that she came back to her senses and walked inside. She really needed to get to the bottom of this matter.

However, she didn't find Yancey. Instead, she ran into a group of drunk men at the corner. They were all tall and burly, and they blocked her way in an instant.

"What is such a beautiful woman doing all alone? Why don't you come have some fun with us?"

Two other men started to laugh as they reached out toward her. It was obvious what they were trying to do.

Grace frowned as she took a few steps back.

Yet she quickly heard some more footsteps behind her. There were even more unfamiliar men. Now, a total of six men were staring at her intently.

She quickly opened the nearest door. It led to a private room, and there was another door beyond that.

She sprinted forward, only to stop when she realized that there was no one chasing her. She was a bit confused, but she heard Julian's voice right after that.

How strange. Ethan, Julian, and Simon actually came to a bar like this tonight.

Julian's voice seemed cold and mocking. "It's been years, Ethan, and you're still clinging to the past? I think it's time you tried looking for another woman. What do you expect to get from waiting like this?"

Grace's ears perked up as she curiously waited for Ethan's response.

Ethan's fingertips gently tapped on the armrest of his wheelchair as he lowered his gaze slightly. "She's worth it."

Julian let out an exasperated laugh. "I think she's incredibly average. She's foolish and cruel. What's so worth it about her?"

"It's enough that I know what's good about her," Ethan replied calmly. There seemed to be a stubbornness in his tone that no one else could understand.

Grace was hiding behind a nearby screen, and she felt like she was frozen in place.

She had always thought Ethan was a cold and rational person. She never expected him to be so deeply in love that he would wait for a woman who had been gone for seven years. Judging by his tone, he would continue waiting as well.

She realized that she had heard too much and was about to turn around to find another way out. But just as she turned to leave, the door was suddenly pushed open.

She bumped right into Simon.

He was dressed in a suit, and he was obviously in a bad mood. When he saw her, he had a look of disgust on his face. "What are you doing here?"

He dusted off his suit as if he had been tainted by something dirty. Then, without a warning, he grabbed Grace by the collar and dragged her toward Ethan.noveldrama

Turning past the screen, they arrived in front of Ethan and Julian, who were seated on a black couch.

Grace was tossed right onto an empty couch by Simon.

Simon lowered his gaze and lit a cigarette before mocking, "She was hiding behind the screen and eavesdropping on your conversation. Didn't either of you notice it?"

The room was different from the others in the bar. Simon liked this place because it was chaotic and filled with all sorts of people. The Yule family wouldn't think to look for him here, or they would definitely drag him back to meet that wife of his whom he had never even seen before.

He had no interest in that, so he would rather hide in a place like this.
