Ex Cried as I Wed a Tycoon novel Chapter 515

Shirley's bold observation left the nearby coworkers stunned.

"You can't just say things like that! Ms. Annabel clearly looks much more like Mr. Etheridge's wife," one colleague quickly shushed her.

Shirley scoffed, rolling her eyes. "You guys are just blind."

Unfortunately, Grace's grand entrance had already left a massive impression, firmly implanting the false narrative in everyone's minds.

Suddenly, a sharp cry of pain echoed up the trail.

Lyman stopped in his tracks, looking back down the mountain.

Grace was slumped on one of the stone steps, gripping her ankle with an agonized expression on her face.

Lyman hurried back down to her. "Are you alright?"

Grace bit her lower lip and shook her head, playing the role of the brave martyr. "It's nothing serious. I just twisted my ankle slightly. But I'm a doctor; I know how to manage it."

"I'll have Luther come help you," Lyman stated flatly.

Grace froze, the hopeful spark in her eyes dying out in an instant. She had fully expected him to offer his own arm, not pawn her off on his assistant.

Masking her deep disappointment, she forced a playful laugh. "What, are you keeping your distance now that you're married? You used to carry me on your back when we were younger."

Lyman hummed in agreement, his tone completely detached. "We should both keep our distance. We are both married people now."

His blunt words felt like a dagger twisting into her chest, the sharp pain completely suffocating her.

She barely managed to stretch her lips into a smile. "I was just joking with you. Look at how seriously you take things."

"Just be careful," Lyman said. "I'm going to go check on Andie."
