Chapter 47

Grace pursed her lips, finding Sean’s offer to be absurd. He…what exactly? Wanted to assuage his guilt by getting her a job? It was his fault she’d been unemployable everywhere else in the city.

She started to walk away from him.

“Don’t walk away from me,” Sean said angrily. “I’m still talking to you. Seriously, Grace. I’m already taking a risk by offering to help

you!”

“Did anyone ever ask you to take that risk?” Grace asked flatly. “Did you ever hear of too little, too late, Sean? When I needed you most, you abandoned me.” She shook her head.”There is no need for this. Moreover, aren’t you afraid that your fiancee will hear?”

“Hear about what?” a sharp voice asked. Sean’s eyes widened. “What is it that you’re keeping from me?”

Sean froze. He released his grip on Grace’s arm immediately and turned to look at Lily, who was walking toward him.
