Regret Came Too Late (Grace and Ethan) novel Chapter 84

And now, they wanted to give shares to Grace? On what grounds?

Luckily, Carmen pushed Liam aside. "What nonsense are you talking about? After everything Grace has done, how could we trust her with the company shares? Aren't you worried she'll be sweet-talked by some man and give them all away? Grace is completely brainless."

Liam despised Grace as well since she had slapped him before. But wasn't she entitled to a portion of the shares too? She was still a part of the Lambert family, after all.

Liam said, "Mom, Grace is—"

But before he could finish, Alice interrupted him, saying, "Mom, Mrs. Henderson, if Grace marries Mr. Parker, then it won't just be a double celebration. It'd be a triple celebration. I actually have another announcement to make today."

She lowered her head and gently touched her stomach with a radiant smile on her face. "I'm pregnant with Yancey's child."

Yancey, who was still in a daze, was suddenly jolted awake by that statement. "Alice, what did you say?"

Alice's eyes reddened, and she wiped them with her hand. "Yancey, I just found out a few days ago too. I was just hesitant to tell you because I was afraid you still liked Grace. I only dare to reveal it now after knowing you chose me wholeheartedly."

Yancey should have felt happy about it, but he just felt like he was in a dream when he looked at everyone else's happy expressions.

Lily and Carmen immediately gathered around Alice excitedly.

Alice had a satisfied smile on her face.

She said, "Mom, now that I'm pregnant, we can't delay my wedding with Yancey any longer. We'll be ridiculed if my belly starts showing before the wedding. But there's still Grace. She should get married before me as the eldest sibling. Otherwise, all those high-society ladies will gossip about it."

It was only now that he realized that it wasn't a pleasant surprise. It was actually quite a horrible shock.

Alice's eyes grew even redder. "Yancey, are you not happy? If you don't want this child, I can go get rid of it."

Yancey immediately pulled Alice into his arms, but the words that came out of his mouth were something even he couldn't believe. "Alice, I'll take care of you and the baby."

Alice's lips curled up slightly as her eyes filled with satisfaction. "Alright. Then from now on, my sister will probably become your aunt."

Yancey's body stiffened as he felt his mind cloud over with confusion.
