Regret Came Too Late

The recent events that happened between her and Ethan were unpleasant.

She hesitated for around ten minutes before she tentatively sent Ethan a text message. She had even thought that Ethan had blocked her contact.

After all, Ethan was pretty upset with her because of what happened to Jodie. The message got through-she was not blocked.

Grace: "I hope I'm not bothering you, Mr. Henderson, but would you know the location of this manor?"

She was meticulous with her wording.

It had not even been a minute when she got a reply.

Ethan: "I think so."

Grace's eyes lit up. Immediately, she called him.

"Mr. Henderson, do you really know where this is? Can you tell me?"

Ethan lowered hus gaze when he heard her voice. "It's a remote location. You wouldn't be able to find it anyway."

"But..."

She really wanted to see the manor.

"Come find me at Palm Bay in half an hour. I'll take you there," he said.

Even after the call had ended, Grace's mind was still spinning.

Ethan should be loathing her right now. But to her surprise, he sounded in a good mood, which made her wonder if all the unpleasant interactions between them had all been in her head.
