Regret Came Too Late

Chapter 232

After hanging up the phone, Grace still leaned against Ed's chest. The intense emotions he had stirred in her earlier made it hard for her to recover.

Ed, ever considerate, remained still and gave her time to catch her breath.

Ed pinched her chin, his tone firm as he asked, "What's so funny?"

"I just feel like we're always hiding in the shadows."

seemed like she'd touched on something painful for him.

She quickly added, "Before you're ready to go out with me, I won't force you. I'll just come here to see you, okay?"

She cradled his face, speaking in a coaxing tone.

Ed softly hummed as he buried his head in her neck, his mood clearly subdued.
