Regret Came Too Late (Grace and Ethan) novel Chapter 378

The moment those words left Damien's mouth, the atmosphere in the room grew unbearably strained.

This wasn't the first time he had said something like this—and he meant every word.

Selene drew a deep breath and set down her utensils. "Get out. Don't come looking for me again. The Jensen family's been calling me lately, and I won't let this escalate."

Every time they met, she asked him not to make a scene. Yet Damien had never once listened.

Rising abruptly, he grabbed the tablecloth and yanked it hard, sending the carefully prepared dishes crashing to the floor. It turned the room into chaos, with spilled food and shattered porcelain.

His gaze cut to Vincent, and suddenly, he smirked. "Selene and I grew up together. Whatever reason you two are together, it doesn't matter. You're not marrying her as long as I'm breathing. Professor Calloway, you're still young. Go find someone else."

Ever composed behind his glasses, Vincent simply tightened his grip on Selene's hand.

His stance was clear—he would never look for someone else; he had already chosen her.

Damien observed them standing hand-in-hand. His lips pursed, and his breathing grew ragged. After a long pause, he finally managed to say, "I honestly can't see what he has that makes him better than me."

"Damien, you're too immature. I don't like childish men. Vincent would never barge into someone's home and overturn their dinner," Selene retorted.

Selene's voice remained firm, her gaze calm and unflinching. "If you continue this nonsense, I'll shift my work entirely overseas. In fact, that's something I've been planning to do."

Since she had the capability to leave the Jensen family behind, there was no need for her to live in their shadow any longer.

A tremor passed through Damien's gaze as he froze in place. He took a moment to compose himself before quietly gathering up the pieces of shattered plates from the floor and then pulling out his phone to order delivery.

He found the broom and mop tucked away in the corner, intending to tidy up the chaos on the floor. However, being born as an heir of the Jensen family, such tasks were foreign to him. The more he tried to clean, the dirtier the floor became.
