Regret Came Too Late

Chapter 275

When Grace woke up, she realized she was back at the hotel.

She heard Jodie crying out the words, "Uncle Ethan, please don't be mad at me."

They were behind the door. Ethan's tone was icy, but there was a tenderness in it now. "Just this once."

Jodie immediately became excited. "I knew it! I knew you wouldn't stay mad at me. Uncle Ethan, when are we going back to Druville? Grace has been sleeping for so long. How irresponsible of her!"

Grace could feel the blood boiling in her. She was absolutely sure that this incident was all Jodie's doing. But she didn't have the right to say anything since Ethan had already let it slide.

Her head was throbbing with pain right now. When she took out her phone for a look, she found out that she had slept for two days.

She heard the sound of a wheelchair just as she was sitting up. Ethan opened the door and came inside.

The kiss that night came into Grace's mind, helping her return to her calm and rational self.

"Mr. Henderson, I've made up my mind. After going back to Druville, I'm going to resign. Liam still needs me, so I think I'll stay at Lambert Group for a while."

The sound of the wheelchair instantly stopped as Ethan sat there without moving one bit.

Grace turned to him and smiled at him. "I hope you'll approve my resignation."

He swallowed hard, his throat moving with much effort as his hands gripped tightly onto the handles of his wheelchair. All of his emotions were hidden beneath the surface, but Grace could still feel a chill creeping out from him.

"Why?" he asked.

"I think we need to keep some distance between us, especially since that kind of thing has happened. I can't pretend that it never happened before.
