Regret Came Too Late (Grace and Ethan) novel Chapter 165

Yancey told Grace that she hated Ethan, but why would she hate him?

Trying to solve all these mysteries had tired her out. She rested her head on the pile of documents, and it didn't take long for her to fall asleep.

She had a dream where she heard children crying and a man's voice interrogating someone.

The dream was chaotic—it felt like a strange fever dream.

She couldn't see clearly. All she remembered was a pair of deep, penetrating eyes staring at her.

Her heart clenched sharply, and she woke up feeling utterly drained.

When she lifted her head, she saw Jodie and Ethan in front of her.

As usual, Jodie was clinging to Ethan, as if she wanted to glue herself to him.

Ethan had always been polite and kept his distance from other women, but he seemed to be more indulgent toward Jodie.

Jodie deliberately let out two cold scoffs as she walked past Grace's desk.

Grace pretended not to hear her and was about to start writing her report. Just then, a cup of water was splashed onto the documents before her.

It was Jodie who came back to taunt her. She leaned her elbow on the desk, her eyes filled with smug satisfaction.

"Hey, I want to tell you something. My brother went to try on wedding outfits with Alice today. The two of them looked so sweet together.

"I saw you napping just now. Have you been crying for days because of it?"

Grace was already in a bad mood from the dream earlier, and seeing the mess on her desk only made it worse.

Yet, Jodie remained oblivious to how Grace was feeling. She even grabbed the document that was on top, causing the water to seep into the entire stack.

Grace lifted her gaze, grabbed the documents, and slammed them over Jodie's head.

Jodie was stunned and stood there frozen for a few seconds.
