Chapter 206
The expression disappeared so quickly that Grace couldn’t be sure.
“Come with me to Velvet Eclipse,” instructed Ethan.
“Okay.” Since he no longer talked about it, she also took the opportunity to disengage from the topic.
At the same time, she was amazed by Ethan’s kindness. It seemed she would have to repay him even more in the future.
After pushing him into the elevator, she bent down and was about to say something to him. Just then, the elevator doors opened, and a young man emerged.
The man greeted Ethan with a smile, “What a coincidence, Uncle Ethan.”
Ethan’s third brother, Bart Henderson, had two sons. The one standing outside the elevator was one of them-Levi Henderson.
Levi shifted his gaze to Grace and smiled. “So this is Ms. Lambert. How coincidental. Uncle Ethan, I’m surprised that you still can get along with her.”
The moment Levi showed up, the atmosphere in the elevator turned gloomy.
Grace pushed Ethan out of the elevator, and outside was the underground parking garage. She wondered why Levi came to Henderson Group.
Over the years, Ethan had acquired numerous companies. In order to train the young ones, Jordan had sent them all to the nearby branches.
Currently, only Ethan, a few elders, and Yancey stayed in the headquarters.
Ethan asked indifferently, “Why are you here?”
Levi had already stepped into the elevator, and he answered politely, “I came to check on Yancey. I wonder if his wedding can still go on as planned.
“As his cousin, I’m certainly concerned about him. Uncle Ethan, I’ll head up first.”
Grace originally wanted to tell Levi that Yancey wasn’t at the company, but then she remembered she wasn’t familiar with Levi at all.
Moreover, she felt uneasy when she saw him. His gaze was like that of a venomous snake, as if he might strike at any moment.
Among the Hendersons, Ethan was the most pleasant to look at.
This time, she was driving Ethan’s car. After helping him into the passenger seat, she couldn’t help but mutter, “The wedding can’t possibly be cancelled, right?”
His gaze fell on her side profile as she leaned over, dutifully trying to fasten his seatbelt. But the buckle just wouldn’t click into place, making her so anxious that sweat began to form on the tip of her nose.
Just as she was struggling, a large hand suddenly covered hers. With a gentle push, the buckle clicked into place.
She froze as she could feel that his palm was burning hot. She quickly retreated far back to the driver’s seat and gripped the steering wheel firmly with both hands.
Was it her imagination? Why did Ethan seem a little off?
Ever since things had progressed between her and Ed, Grace was no longer as oblivious to this kind of intimacy between men and women as she used to be.
She remained silent, but then he asked, “How are things going with your boyfriend?”
At the thought of Ed, her lips curved into a smile. Although she had no idea what he looked like, he really gave her a different kind of feeling—like a big golden retriever that was comforting and clingy.
Sometimes people could be quite superficial and liked their partners being overly attached, as it brought a sense of pride.
“We are doing good,” she replied.
“Have you thought about when you’ll meet each other’s parents?” Ethan asked again.
She hadn’t expected that question. She calmly drove for a while before answering honestly, “We haven’t really thought about that yet. We’d like to get to know each other a bit more first. But so far, we’re getting along quite well.”
At least, they were sexually compatible. In fact, there weren’t many twists and turns in adult relationships. Couples who were harmonious in bed were already ahead of most couples.
Many women put up with those few minutes in bed just because they loved their partners.
But not Grace-she enjoyed the feeling of being possessed and her partner being needy in bed. At worst, she could just work hard to support him financially.
As Ethan turned his head, he noticed the tenderness in her eyes and the unconscious smile on her lips. He averted his gaze to stare out the window and placed a hand against his cheek to hide his smile.
