Regret Came Too Late

After three hours, Ethan's car finally arrived. Tim called Grace, but she pretended not to answer the phone since Jodie would pick them up anyway.

And Jodie did go to pick them up. The moment she saw Ethan, she exclaimed excitedly, "Uncle Ethan!"

She ran over and immediately clung to his arm. "I specifically asked Grandpa to let me come with you to gain some experience. So, don't you dare find me annoying."

Ethan's eyes glanced afar for a moment, but Grace was nowhere to be seen.

Standing beside him, Tim quickly took out his phone and gave Grace another call. "Ms. Lambert, Mr. Henderson has arrived. Have you made your way down?"

Grace pretended to let out a yawn. "I'm sorry. I overslept. You've probably settled in by now, right? I won't be going down anymore. We'll talk when we meet up tomorrow morning."

Tim wanted to say something else, but she hung up before he could say anything.

On the other hand, Jodie's expression instantly turned vicious when she heard that Grace was also here. She couldn't understand why Ethan always brought Grace along wherever he went. She was worried that Ethan might have taken a liking to Grace, just like Alice had mentioned before.

She had visited Alice the day before yesterday. Alice had been locked up in a psychiatric hospital, and her state of mind had been quite unstable. She kept talking about how Ethan had a crush on Grace and that Grace would suffer a lot in the future because of it.

Of course, Jodie didn't believe any of it. Someone as distinguished as Ethan wouldn't just have a crush and do nothing about it.
