Regret Came Too Late (Grace and Ethan)

Knowing that Grace was going out today, Dylan's bodyguards went and followed her again.

But halfway through, another car suddenly blocked their path, and right after that, Grace's car vanished without a trace. Even the surveillance footage had been tampered with. How could her boyfriend possibly be an ordinary man?

Dylan raised his hand to rub the spot between his brows. He had even tried probing Yancey, but even Yancey had no idea who this mysterious man was. In fact, Yancey was investigating on his own too.

"Sir, should we continue following her?"

Dylan's tone grew a little gloomy. "Just come back first."

He looked at the photo in his hand, dying to find out who Ethan was pointing a gun at in the photo. But after investigating for years, he still had no leads. In the entire high-society circle of Druville, this person simply didn't exist.

What secrets were Ethan and Grace hiding?

Dylan put the photo down and lit up a cigarette.

One of his bodyguards took a phone call and hastily said, "Sir, someone found Levi's body! Mr. Henderson Senior is already on his way."

Finding Levi's body at such a crucial moment also meant Dylan could no longer focus all his attention on Grace. He removed the cigarette from his mouth and pressed it directly on the coffee table, his face returning to its usual warmth.

"Let's go."

Grace was tossed around again and again until she lay in Ed's arms, panting lightly. He held a handkerchief in his hand, gently dabbing her forehead with it.

She was a little angry and turned her head away. "Didn't I tell you we had to stop before 3:00 pm?"

"Did you? Did you say that?"

Grace was fuming. It was already close to 4:00 pm, and it would take a long while for her to drive back. She almost had no time left to freshen up and get dressed. She took a deep breath and quickly put on the clothes she had left on the couch.

Ed wrapped his arms around her waist from behind, rubbing his cheek against the curve of her waist. "Can I come visit you next time?"

Grace thought about how he was always alone in this place, dark and gloomy. If he kept staying here, he might end up with mental health issues.

"Sure, but remember to message me before you come. I've got something to do now. I'll be leaving first."

As she stood up, her legs gave out a little, and she nearly kneeled on the floor.

Ed scooped her up like a cat, refusing to let go.

Grace gave his lips a few half-hearted kisses. "Alright. Seriously, I'm running out of time."

Only then did he reluctantly let her go, letting out a soft chuckle.

Grace quickly drove back to the city, rushed into a makeup studio, and requested them to do her makeup.

Fortunately, the staff at the makeup studio that she randomly chose had pretty decent skills. She didn't have time to go home and change, so she wrapped the couple's scarf around her neck to cover the love bites that Ed had deliberately left on her. After that, she headed to the hotel.

The hotel was right by the river, and it was said that the window seats offered a full view of the riverscape.

She drew in a deep breath and made sure her makeup looked perfect before stepping out of the elevator onto the top floor.

Along the way, admiration flashed in the eyes of the staff members who saw her.

Grace's outfit made her look like a college student. Her scarf was a bright color, giving her a youthful and lively vibe.

She immediately spotted Ethan

sitting by the window. Sitting across from him was a woman, Cassandra Eve. Compared to Grace's outfit, Cassandra had clearly gone for a more refined and seductive style.

Grace quickly walked over and sat down beside Ethan. "Sorry, Ethan. I'm late."

Cassandra, who had been trying her best to show off her charm, saw Grace and frowned instantly.

Ethan had been looking downward this entire time, showing no interest. But upon hearing Grace's voice, he turned to look at her.

She rarely wore makeup, but her

look today was vibrant. Her lips had

a touch of gloss, and she smiled brightly as she locked eyes with Ethan. She even clung to his arm and sweetly called his name.
