Chapter 238

Grace opened her mouth, but for a moment, she found herself unable to respond. The day they first met, she had felt Ed's intense emotions—love, hatred, longing, and sorrow. His complicated feelings had made her reluctant to hurt him, and step by step, she had lowered her defenses until they got into a relationship. The more she got to know him, the more she felt for him, and the more she lowered her own boundaries. "Ed." Before she could even finish her sentence, Ed, unwilling to listen to her, grabbed her waist with an intense and forceful grip. After it was over, Grace heard his hoarse voice.

He hadn't even cleaned up after himself. It was clear that he was really angry. She slowly sat up, her mind still swimming in the rush of emotions he had given her, unable to focus on anything else.
