Regret Came Too Late (Grace and Ethan) novel Chapter 492

Grace was on her knees in the living area, her eyes glued to the news.

It was almost dawn, yet Ethan still hadn't returned. Had he been punished by Jordan?

She felt an unexpected twinge of concern. From time to time, she would peer toward the entrance as she rubbed her stiff knees.

The news had been running non-stop from midnight till morning. The reporters clearly had nothing better to do as they kept rehashing Jack's incident over and over and shared public opinions about the Henderson family.

This time, the Henderson family was at the center of it all. With Jordan's past position, the family was bound to attract attention.

Grace sighed. When she heard the sound of a car engine outside, she craned her neck toward the door.

Headlights swept across the windows, followed by noises at the door.

Tim opened the door and stepped inside.

Grace met his gaze, then looked behind him. Ethan wasn't there.

"Mr. Bennett, where's Mr. Henderson?"

Tim scoffed, hanging his coat on the nearby rack. "Thanks to you, Ms. Lambert, Mr. Henderson Senior wants him married in two weeks."

"What does that have to do with Jodie's incident? Mr. Henderson Senior isn't actually suggesting they get married, is he?"

"What are you even saying, Grace?"

Tim stormed toward her in irritation. "Didn't you see the news? Mr. Henderson leaked Ms. Henderson's background just to protect you. Now, the entire Henderson family is in the crosshairs. Mr. Henderson Senior thinks he has feelings for you, so he's forcing him to get married right away to put an end to it."

He said it all clearly, but Grace didn't understand a word.

Ethan… liked her?

She almost laughed, but seeing the stern look on Tim's face, she just rubbed her aching knees instead.

"So, you're saying that Mr. Henderson likes me?"

Her smile faded as soon as their eyes met, and she suddenly remembered all the things that had happened between her and Ethan.

She had injured his legs, leaving him in a wheelchair, and he had never blamed her. She had tested his patience again and again, but he had never retaliated. He wanted magnolias from her, and he had even protected her numerous times.

The more she pieced things together, the stranger it felt.

However, as far as she could recall, she and Ethan had never really spent much time together.

She frowned, then remembered what Tim had just said.

"You said Mr. Henderson released Jodie's information to protect me… Won't that get him in trouble with Mr. Henderson Senior? I…"

Her voice faltered before she could finish the sentence.

Ethan really was in trouble—Jordan was forcing him to marry. But the woman he had once loved was gone. Who was he supposed to marry now?

Tim let out another cold, sarcastic laugh. "Well then, Ms. Lambert, maybe you should go get your documents and just register the marriage with Mr. Henderson yourself."
