RedNovelChapter 262 Chapter 262 When Grace woke up, the sky outside had already turned completely dark. She checked her phone, only to see that it was already 9:00 pm. Hadn't she asked Liam to wake her at 7:00 pm? She quickly got up, took a shower, had a change of clothes, and headed downstairs-only to find several beautifully prepared dishes on the table, along with a note from Liam. "Grace, I've gone to the office with Sebastian." A wave of relief washed over Grace.
She trusted that with her and Sebastian's help, Liam was sure to beca very capable CEO. She put the food into the microwave to heat it up and took her teating it. Only after she finished did she remember that there had been a notification on her phone when she woke up. She quickly took out her phone again, and sure enough, she sawa message from Ed. "Please don't leave me..." The message was sent two hours ago, but she had been asleep and hadn't replied.

After arriving home, she collapsed into bed, planning to sleep straight through until morning ---- and then report back to work at Henderson Group. However, as soon as she opened the door, a powerful grip dragged her into the room. She didn't even need to look to know who it was.
"Ed..." She barely had tto call out his nbefore he kissed her. The kiss was a rush of urgency, a blaze of passion, and a touch of worship. They stumbled and swayed from the entryway all the way to the couch. Just as he pressed her onto the couch and she opened her mouth to speak, his kiss descended on her again. "Please don't leave me." Grace could barely breathe when she felt the slight tremor that ran through his body. She knew he was terrified.
Taking a deep breath, she tried to push him off, but he abruptly pressed down on her thighs and lowered his head. "gal" In the dimness, the sounds that filled the air were thick with intimacy. Her fingertips dug gently into his scalp. The unfamiliar thrill was overwhelming, and she quickly lost herself. He kissed her with the desperation of a man who had been lost in the desert. He wanted to devour every last drop of rain.
---- "BA..." Grace found herself suddenly regretting how easily she had brought up ending things. He was so consumed right now that he wasn't listening to anything. She sat up, wanting to talk things through properly, but he seemed to be in another world. He completely ignored the words coming out of her mouth. The constant repetition of 'please don't leave me! wore down Grace's ability to resist. After what felt like an eternity, he seemed calmer. She, however, was spent.
Her hands gently framed his face. A dull ache spread through her limbs, but he, on the other hand, seemed to possess an almost mechanical stamina. "Ed, it's okay. We're not breaking up. Please stop." Her hand rested on his cheek, and she was surprised to feel the wetness of tears. She snatched her hand back as if it stung, only to have him seize it firmly. He pulled her hand back and held her palm against his cheek.
He rubbed his cheek against her hand like a gentle Golden Retriever seeking comfort. Grace's fingers twitched slightly as she mentally berated herself. How could she have taken her frustrations out on him because of her own issues? He had done nothing wrong. For someone as withdrawn as him, he must have been ---- terrified to cto her room and wait this long. He was terrified of being abandoned.

"Alright, I haven't been myself recently, and I shouldn't have taken it out on you. The breakup was just something I said without thinking. We're not breaking up-not yet anyway." "What do you mean 'not yet'? Am I just a dog you can throw away whenever you feel like it? You sweet-talkwhen you're in a good mood and kickto the curb when you're not?" Grace's brows furrowed.
He had the wrong idea. "Ed..." Her initial thought was to try and soothe him, maybe apologize, so that they could both cool off and have a proper conversation. But something she said must have hit a nerve because he suddenly bit down on her shoulder. "Isn't that the truth? Aren't you just withbecause it's convenient? I showed up, and you didn't mind, so you've been. keepingaround like a pet. And you're certainly satisfied with my performance in bed, right?
"You don't even care what I look like. Anyone could be here, and it would be the sto you, wouldn't it?" His voice trailed off after that outburst. Grace could hear his heavy breathing. He was furious.
