Regret Came Too Late (Grace and Ethan) novel Chapter 219

As Grace stepped out of the hot spring pool, she noticed a fresh set of clothes lying neatly on a chair nearby.

She dressed slowly and sat down for a while to rest. After soaking in the hot spring, it felt as if every pore in her body had opened up. Her mind felt a lot clearer.

She pulled out her phone to send Ed a message, but saw that Selene had messaged asking where she was. Only then did she realize that more than an hour had already passed.

Startled, she got up quickly and headed for the exit, only to turn a corner and suddenly collide head-on with a man walking from the opposite direction.

The man wore a silver mask covering his face. He was tall and radiated a powerful presence.

Unlike Ethan's cool and restrained demeanor, this man's presence was like an unsheathed blade. Even the slightest approach would put one at risk of getting cut.

Grace bumped her nose hard and winced. She quickly apologized and hurried into the nearby elevator.

The man didn't follow. Instead, he turned and disappeared deeper into the darkness.

As she watched his retreating figure, Grace rubbed her still-aching nose. There was something oddly familiar about his presence.

When she reached the ground floor, she finally spotted Selene waiting at the exit.

Selene looked at her with concern. "What's wrong?"

"I bumped into someone. He was wearing a silver mask. The aura around him was… intense."

Selene raised an eyebrow and chuckled. "Only one person in all of The Obsidian dares to wear a silver mask—the legendary owner of the establishment. You sure are lucky. I've been here so many times and never once seen him."

Grace was surprised. Was that man really so elusive?

She followed Selene outside, but her thoughts remained preoccupied with worry for Ed.

Upon noticing how distracted she seemed, Selene asked curiously, "What's going on? Who left those marks?"

She lightly tapped Grace on the neck with a finger.
