Regret Came Too Late

Liam returned to the hall and searched for a key with his head down. After a while, he actually found one in a drawer.

Standing in front of Grace's locked door again, he started to feel uneasy. He felt like he was too easy to manipulate.

Grace had already heard his footsteps and urged, "Hurry up and open the door. Why are you just standing there?"

"Grace, swear that you'll never slap me again," Liam said.

Grace was speechless but went along with it, saying, "I swear I won't ever slap you again."

Only then did Liam unlock the door. The moment he saw her, he took a step back.

Grace walked past him and started to head outside. She couldn't stand staying in this house for another second.

Liam followed closely behind her as he asked a bit urgently, "You're leaving already? Can't you at least make me a meal before you go? You're just planning on tossing me aside after using me, aren't you?"

At the doorway, Grace's expression was cold.

Liam felt hurt. There was a dull ache in his chest as he turned his face away. "Whatever. Just get lost. It's not like I have to eat your cooking. I knew you never cared about me."

Out of the corner of his eyes, he saw that she really got into the car. He stood there feeling a bit lost. In the past, he could still feel that Grace cared about him, but at that moment, he couldn't feel anything at all.
