Regret Came Too Late

Chapter 346

Liam fought through the aches in his body and quickly moved to sit at the small table. Carefully, almost reverently, he laid out the stack of books Andrea had brought. There were more than a dozen of them. They were all thick, heavy volumes packed with real-world business case studies.

Andrea was betting on her future. The better Liam did, the better her life would be down the road.

"I'll read every single one," Liam said seriously. "Will Grace come to see me if I finish them?"

It would take him at least six months to get through everything. By then, Grace would probably be ready to let him out.

Andrea smiled sweetly. "That's what she said. She's counting on you, so don't let her down."

Liam nodded fiercely, his expression turning determined. "I won't!"

For the next three days, Andrea visited him daily.

Since Grace hadn't called to check in and the guards assumed Andrea's entry to the venue was authorized by her, nobody questioned it. After all, all she did was chat with him and keep him company-nothing suspicious.

What they didn't understand was how easy it was for emotions to form when two people were thrown together every day, especially when one of them was barely 20 years old, vulnerable, and desperate for comfort.

Grace's plan had been simple. She wanted Liam to reflect on his mistakes and learn his lesson. She had planned to check on him when his 20th birthday rolled around.

Meanwhile, Liam buried himself in his studies. Every day, he pushed through his physical pain, and every day, Andrea was there to encourage him.

Whenever he was about to break down, she would softly remind him, "Grace doesn't want to see you give up."
