Regret Came Too Late

Selene was holding onto a man's arm. Grace didn't recognize him, but she still gave him a polite smile.

Selene didn't know who was inside the private dining room at that time, so she just went ahead with the introduction.

"Let me introduce you to my boyfriend, Vincent Calloway. He's a university professor."

Grace offered Vincent a handshake. "Nice to meet you, Professor Calloway."

Vincent appeared to be in his 30s and had a refined, elegant demeanor that exuded the charm of a mature man.

"Nice to meet you, too."

Grace recalled that she still had documents to deliver. Just as she was about to find an excuse to slip inside, she heard the male voice from earlier begin speaking from inside the private room.

"Hey, Selene! You found a boyfriend but didn't bring him home? We would have loved to see him."

Selene hadn't expected Damien to be inside, and her smile suddenly faded a bit.

He had already opened the door of the private dining room on his own, and his gaze swiftly fell on Vincent.

Even if Grace wasn't the brightest, she still could tell something was off.

Did these two siblings have a bad relationship?

Damien didn't let his gaze linger on Vincent for too long before mocking Selene, "Your taste in men is still as old-fashioned as ever."

She tucked a lock of her long, curly hair behind her ear. "Watch your mouth, Damien."

Damien averted his gaze and shifted to the side. "Since everyone's here, come in and join us then."

Selene was about to decline when Damien narrowed his eyes and said, "Professor Calloway, you haven't met the Jensens yet, have you?"

Selene smiled briefly. "Alright, we'll join you. I hope we're not intruding, Mr. Henderson."

She directed her words specifically at Ethan.

Ethan was sitting in a wheelchair and gave her a gentle nod.

Grace wasn't too interested in getting involved in their family drama, so she quickly walked to Ethan's side and took a seat.
