Regret Came Too Late

Yancey continued to pace around Grace's house, taking his time to confirm that there were no traces of a man before finally letting out a breath of relief.

"Grace, have you eaten? Let's go out and grab a bite."

Grace, still standing, gave him a serious look. "Yancey, I have a boyfriend now. You shouldn't come looking for me anymore. I'm worried he'll get jealous."

In an instant, Yancey's face turned crimson, and his whole body trembled with anger. He may not have measured up to the other men in the elite circles, but why did he fall short compared to a waiter?

Seeing the serious look on Grace's face made him feel deeply wronged.

"Do you even care? I've put up with so much for you, and now you're off having an affair with a waiter. Are you really that desperate? What does he have that I don't?"

Grace bit back the urge to slap him and instead pointed to the door. "Leave."

Hancey bit his lip and lowered his head, feeling regretful. He had promised to handle things better, but now he couldn't help himself.

He kept looking back as he left, and when he got downstairs, he angrily kicked a trash can.

He pulled out his phone and called a friend to meet for drinks.

As Yancey sat in the private room at Velvet Eclipse, the more he thought about it, the angrier he got.

"Do you guys think she's sick? I'm still aching from the bruise on my back. She told me to leave... I can't believe it. She must have gone off to cozy up with a guy she just met. I must've hurt her too much in the past, that's why she's changed. She used to love good-looking men."
