Regret Came Too Late (Grace and Ethan) novel Chapter 208

Ed bit Grace's fingertip, his voice low and husky from the lingering passion. "You said you came with your boss?"

Grace felt a bit tired and yawned. "Yes."

"How is he?"

"He's pretty good."

"How is he compared to me?"

Her eyes widened instantly. The room was dimly lit, and she could only make out the silhouette of his figure. Even so, he seemed to have an incredible build—she definitely hadn't lost out.

"There's no comparison as you two are complete opposites. He's cold and indifferent to everyone, but you're passionate and lovable. My boss is someone to admire from afar, but not someone to get close to."

"How do you know he's exactly like you say he is? Maybe you just don't know him—just like you don't know me."

She frowned and cupped his face with both hands. "I don't know you, but you can let me get to know you little by little. Otherwise, how am I supposed to know you if I never get to see your face?"

"You saw my face before. You were very worked up at that time, and you hit me."

Grace immediately sat up straight, feeling embarrassed. She shouldn't have asked. She scratched her cheek with her fingertips and wondered if she had been that quick-tempered back then.

She had actually hit him not long after they became intimate—no wonder he was so insecure and sensitive. She was a complete jerk.

However, she couldn't remember at all what had happened between them back then. How did it end up with her hitting him?

She took a deep breath and gently patted his cheek. "Did I hit you here? Did it hurt?"

"It won't hurt if you feel sorry for me."

When she heard this, she cursed herself inwardly for being such a jerk. How could she have hit someone so passionate?

She hurriedly got up, planting two kisses on his left cheek and another two kisses on his right cheek. "Of course, I feel sorry for you, but I have to go now.

"I've already upset my boss recently, so I might need to spend more time with him and kiss up a bit. If you need anything, just text me or call me. See you."

She was about to leave when he grabbed her wrist. "Aren't you getting too close to your boss?" he asked.

She immediately smiled. Was he jealous? He was really like a clingy golden retriever. "Don't worry, I won't fall for him. I just think he's a good person; he's not my type," she reassured.

"What if one day he becomes just like me? Would you…"

She quickly kissed him on the lips and said, "Stop, don't talk about such scary things. Just thinking about it gives me chills.

"If that's the case, then he must be really good at pretending and scheming. That would be terrifying."

"There's a lady here," Ethan said.

Simon wanted to say that Grace hardly qualified as a lady, but he chose to obey Ethan and put the cigarette back.

Grace casually adjusted her collar and said, "I just went out to meet my boyfriend. I'm sorry about that."

Simon instantly wore a look of disdain. "Isn't Yancey about to get married? Why did he still secretly date you? Do you know that you're the mistress?

"You're the mistress of your sister's boyfriend. Don't you feel ashamed of yourself?"

Julian gave someone a quick glance and then sneered. "What did I say? Some women are just heartless. They're still the same, even after years of waiting. It's better to marry someone else."

Simon had no idea who Julian was talking about and thought it was directed at him. "What's with the sarcasm? I'm not waiting for anyone. I've been having a great time with my new girlfriend lately."

Julian pushed Simon's head away. "I'm not talking about you."

"You're not talking about me? In this room, it's either me or Damien. Isn't he into Selene? It's just that he's been rejected for being too young.

"So who else could it be, other than me? It can't possibly be Ethan. Don't you know him? He wouldn't go after a woman even if the world ended."

Grace nodded in agreement. Indeed, Ethan seemed to have no desire for such things. He might even find matters between men and women disgusting.
