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.

Grace couldn't shake the feeling that, after Yancey's harsh words, they now felt like a couple hiding in the shadows-like secret lovers.

She couldn't help but laugh.

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."

As soon as the words left her mouth, she felt him go silent for a moment. It

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.

Grace had planned to ask if he wanted her to buy him a house and move closer to her, especially after she had gotten some money from Carmen. She figured, why not use it?

But she hesitated. She feared bringing it up would hurt his pride.
