Regret Came Too Late

While Simon and Julian were still bickering, they heard Ethan speak up. "If there's nothing else to talk about, I'll be heading back soon."

Simon took a deep breath and pointed at Ethan.

"See? Look at him. As soon as we mention women, he just wants to leave.

"And you still expect him to wait for the right person? It would be a miracle if he doesn't end up marrying his computer. I bet he's going to spend the rest of his life alone with the fortune he has made."

Ethan turned away and didn't bother to respond.

Grace quietly pushed Ethan out in his wheelchair. As the door to the private room closed behind them, she found that comment amusing.

Ethan heard her soft chuckle and felt slightly gloomy. "Is it that funny?"

The words that came out of his mouth sounded like they were squeezed through his gritted teeth.

She immediately stopped laughing.

"I just thought Mr. Yule made a pretty good point. But there's nothing wrong with being like you, either. There aren't many people like you left nowadays," Grace said.

Ethan was sincere when it came to relationships, and he was willing to wait for that one person for so many years.

He lowered his gaze and said nothing further.
