Regret Came Too Late (Grace and Ethan)

Grace had no real reason to refuse Yancey's request. Even without her memories, she and Yancey went way back.

She went to the office first, telling some of the higher management to observe the Yule family deal. Now that the contract was signed and the project was starting, there'd be more to discuss.

She also needed to see Yasmine soon about signing some artists to make extra money for the company.

Upon returning downstairs, she saw that Yancey was still there.

She opened the car door, a little surprised. "What are you still doing here?"

"Jodie messed up your car, remember? It's still in the shop. I'll give you a ride back. I'm pretty free these days anyway."

Grace made no objections and entered the vehicle.

As they passed their former high school, Yancey initiated a conversation.

"Grace, the fact that you can't remember stuff from before kind of screws you over. Want me to tell you what things were like back in the day?"

When he saw that Grace didn't say no, he smirked a little and was about to keep talking when she asked, "What was my personality like back then?"

A dark look flashed across Yancey's face he had no clue.

He had no idea what her real personality was. She'd been all over him every time she'd seen him like she was head over heels for him.

But now, he understood it had all been an act.

He'd just been full of himself, thinking he was all that.

Outside of when they hung out, he had no clue what Grace was up to, and neither did her family.

Everyone just thought Grace was a ditz who was obsessed with Yancey.noveldrama

But this "ditz" had fooled them all.

His grip on the steering wheel tightened, his expression getting darker. "Your personality was awesome, of course. You knew what you wanted, were a great cook, and you were always helping people out. You wouldn't be friends with Joanne otherwise. You helped her a ton."

She closed her eyes and suddenly asked, "Did I ever talk about a particular man? Like a senior of some sort?"

"Who?"

Yancey's reaction didn't seem fake-he genuinely didn't know.

That meant only Ed knew. Grace didn't say anything else until the car stopped at the entrance of her residential complex, where she was surprised to see Joanne waiting outside.

Joanne had dressed up specially today and was all smiles when she saw Grace.

"I don't have to work for the next few days, so I brought you some supper."

Her gaze shifted past Grace and landed on Yancey.

Yancey just glanced at her casually and then told Grace, "I'll head back now."

Grace nodded and got out of the car to take the things from Joanne.

But Joanne suddenly said, "I brought a lot, Mr. Henderson. Join us for food before you go."

Joanne had five bags with her, so Grace invited Yancey in.

Yancey took the bags and followed them.

After reaching her floor, Grace unlocked the door to her apartment. As she went to flip the light switch on, a hand suddenly grasped her wrist.

She paused, taken aback, before realizing that Ed was here.

Ed hated meeting people and definitely didn't want anyone seeing him.

Grace took a breath and told Yancey

and Joanne, "Hey, you two hang a second. My boyfriend's

tight fo

hand he's not a people person.

I'll get him to go into the bedroom."

She went inside first, putting her hands on Ed's face. "What are you doing here?"

More specifically, what was he doing here without telling her?
