Chapter 109

---- Chapter 109 Grace woke up feeling warm all over.

It took a moment before she realized she was in bed.

She scrambled out, dashing into the bathroom to rinse her face.

The red marks on her neck caught her eye.

She leaned closer to the mirror and tried scrubbing them, but they wouldn't come off.

"Guess even fancy houses aren't safe from mosquitoes," she thought.

Anew toothbrush was neatly placed by the sink, She quickly brushed her teeth and headed downstairs.

The clock read 6:00 am, but breakfast was already laid out.

Ethan stood by the floor-to-ceiling windows, his phone pressed to his ear.

Grace kept her distance, planning to let Susie know she was leaving when Susie called out to her.

"Ms.

Lambert, you should have breakfast before you go.

Mr.

Henderson's orders." Grace felt a sudden warmth spread through her.

Ethan might come across as cold on the outside, but deep down, he was all heart.

"Did he already eat?" Grace asked.

"Nope.

He said he'd wait for you," Susie answered.

Grace sat at the table, figuring it would be a while before he ---- was ready.

But the moment she settled in, Ethan hung up the phone.

He wheeled himself over and began eating his breakfast without saying a word. Grace wanted to wish him a good morning, but he didn't seem like he was in the mood for conversation.
