Regret Came Too Late (Grace and Ethan) novel Chapter 382

Liam couldn't bring himself to meet Andrea's gaze, nor did he have the courage to look at Grace. He kept his head low, shoulders hunched in defeat.

He was in a state of great anxiety at the moment.

Grace had seen enough of his pathetic state over the years, and it further ignited a tide of anger within her.

"Liam Lambert!" she shouted.

She grasped him by the collar and forced him to lift his head. "Tell me what you want. If you choose Andrea, then I'll wish you both happiness."

His shoulders trembled as he fervently shook his head, his teeth digging into his lower lip with such force she thought he might draw blood.

Andrea wept at his side. "Liam, are you really going to leave me? If that's the case, I'd rather die!"

Without further hesitation, she got up and threw herself against the wall.

She truly meant it—the impact left a smear of blood on the wall, and she nearly collapsed to the ground.

Liam panicked and rushed to her side. "Andrea!"

Blood streamed down her forehead. She lifted her gaze to him, tears welling up and spilling over. "Liam, I promise I won't be a burden to you. I want to keep this baby. If not, I'll carve two graves from one body—mine and our child's."

Liam cradled her in his arms and turned pleadingly to Grace.

"Grace..." Even his voice was laced with entreaty, and the hand he had around Andrea was trembling ever so slightly.

Grace suddenly began to ponder where she had gone wrong and what chain of events had brought Liam to where he was now. Clearly, everything had been perfectly fine when Quentin was still alive.

She began to walk away, and as she reached the doorway, the gatekeeper commented, "Ms. Lambert, please forgive my intrusion, but Mr. Liam tried to call you many times before. It was you who wouldn't answer, and that's when Andrea came into the picture. You created the opening for this situation to develop. We've always felt that you've been too harsh on Mr. Liam."

This was her fault—all of it. She had failed to protect Liam, leaving him vulnerable to addiction's grip. Then, by shutting him out, she had given Andrea the opening to slither in. Every misstep traced back to her own hands.
