Regret Came Too Late

It was probably because Ethan was so composed that Grace, who had initially felt awkward, also calmed down at this moment.

Perhaps her figure wasn't anything special in his eyes since he wasn't interested in women. Thinking of it this way, she felt much more at ease.

The hot spring was too comfortable, and she didn't want to leave just yet, so she leaned back and let out a relaxed sigh.

Suddenly, footsteps were heard outside, and Tim's voice followed. "Mr. Henderson, we've found out that the people who pursued us in Southbrook were sent by Andrew."

Andrew Henderson? Wasn't he Yancey's father?

Grace was afraid that Tim would see her. After all, his impression of her was already very poor, so she instinctively sank down and submerged herself in the spring.

Tim had come to the edge of the spring and said respectfully, "Andrew, the fool left traces of his actions everywhere. Do we need to do something to retaliate?"

Grace was underwater and couldn't hear their conversation clearly, but she could see Tim standing by the spring through the refracted water surface.

She definitely couldn't surface at this moment. She was now in Ethan's bathrobe, and on top of that, she was in the same hot spring with Ethan. If Tim found out, he would probably end her with a gunshot.

He would certainly think that she had ulterior motives and was maliciously trying to seduce Ethan. She couldn't bear such an accusation.
