Regret Came Too Late (Grace and Ethan) novel Chapter 351

Everything that followed happened naturally. Grace had been neglecting Ed far too much lately.

After they were done, Grace instinctively reached for the drawer by the bed and took out a pill.

She heard him ask, his hand still resting on her waist, "What are you taking?"

In Grace's mind, Ed was just an ordinary service worker. Even now, she had never clearly seen his face. Probably just an average-looking guy, but somehow his body was surprisingly well-built.

"Birth control," she said casually.

His hand tensed around her waist. "You don't want to get pregnant?"

She had already swallowed the pill by then. "Not yet," she replied, her voice light. "It's not the right time."

"You shouldn't be taking that," he said, voice low. "I heard it's bad for your health. Is there something that I can take instead?"

Grace blinked, a little surprised he even had that awareness. There were male contraceptives on the market now. She smiled, settling back against him.

Honestly, she had never thought seriously about having children, at least not within the next five years.

She yawned, exhaustion creeping in. It had gotten late, and she was thoroughly drained.

Just as she was drifting off, he asked again, "You don't like kids?"

"Not that," she murmured, turning so her back pressed against his chest. "It's just... the next few years are going to be all about work. I'll have to meet with a lot of clients. Getting pregnant now wouldn't be ideal."

His chin rested gently on top of her head, his arms wrapped securely around her, their bodies close and quietly breathing together.

Ed lowered his head and placed a kiss on her hair. "Let's sleep," he whispered.

Grace relaxed completely. Between the contracts she had signed with Yasmine and Simon, she had already secured enough orders to keep Lambert Group afloat for two years.

As long as she could find the right direction for the company during that time and help Jasper fulfill his potential, there was every reason to believe she would succeed.

For once, she was full of hope for the future.
