Five Years Wasted Now They Beg Her Back novel Chapter 466

At the Clarke family's villa.

Grace went to be with Gianna, while Damien headed to the study.

His bodyguards sent him a report about Ethan's surveillance.

After a moment of thought, he walked to the bedroom door. Grace was singing a lullaby to Gianna.

Damien pushed the door open and walked in.

“Grace.”

He came up behind her, wrapping his arms around both mother and daughter. “Ethan is following you.”

Grace’s eyes lowered, her tone indifferent. “Is he? He still has that much time on his hands.”

“The bodyguards warned him,” Damien said, resting his chin in the crook of her neck. “If you don’t want to see him, I can make him disappear for good.”

Grace fell silent.

For a long time, just hearing Ethan’s name would make her heart pound with anxiety.

Back when Ethan’s company was on the verge of bankruptcy, its capital chain broken, she had worked day and night in the lab, selling patents to help him. But all she got in return was the sight of him with his arm around Lilian, mocking her for being a boring bookworm.

After they married, Ethan often had stomach pains. She would run across several streets in the middle of the night in her thin pajamas to buy medicine. By the time she returned, her hands and feet would be numb from the cold, only to be met with his disdainful, “What took you so long?”

She had loved him for five years.

And Ethan?

In those five years, he had never once truly looked at her, and even showed his disgust for her in countless ways.

Thinking back on it now, she’d been—utterly pathetic.

“Don’t,” Grace said, shaking her head gently. “It’s not worth getting your hands dirty for someone like that.”

She turned to face him, looking into Damien’s eyes.

In them, she saw only herself.

“Damien,” she said his name suddenly.

“Yes?”

“Will you always be here?”

Damien reached out and cupped her cheek. “Always.”

Grace smiled.

But as she smiled, tears welled up in her eyes.
