Goodbye, Mr. Regret novel Chapter 303

Back when they used to have dinner together, Jessica’s mother would always peel the shrimp and place them in her father’s bowl.

Tonight, as Jessica quietly offered Timothy the plate of shrimp, inviting him to peel them for her, he found himself oddly pleased.

Suddenly, Sheila set down her fork and said, “Timothy, I’m finished eating. I’ll head home now.”

Timothy just nodded lightly.

But before Sheila could leave, Henry grabbed her hand, his voice plaintive: “Miss Sheila, you promised you’d stay with me until I fell asleep tonight.”

Jessica put down her fork and signed to Sheila, “Grown-ups shouldn’t break promises to kids. Miss Howard, you should stay.”

Timothy frowned slightly. Hasn’t she always disliked Sheila staying here? Had she changed her mind? Was she ready to go back to the way things were?

This was the first time Jessica had ever spoken to Sheila on her own accord. Sheila, curious about Jessica’s sudden change, decided to stay and find out what was going on.

“Alright then, I’ll go play with Henry for a bit,” she agreed.

Henry beamed and tugged Sheila upstairs.

Timothy picked up a shrimp, about to peel it, when Jessica signed, “I’m done too, you don’t need to peel any more. I’m going to take a shower.”

She stood up and left the dining room.

In her bedroom, she grabbed her phone from her bag, picked up fresh clothes, and locked herself in the bathroom.

Her phone screen was filled with unread messages.

One was from Vince Zimmerman, asking if she needed him to step in and help.

Another was from Ines. Ever since that day’s incident, Ines had been feeling guilty and wanted to know if Jessica and Timothy were really getting divorced.

The rest were all from Herbert.

[Little Mute, you honestly don’t need to worry about The Wheeler Group… If you’re thinking about giving up your future just because you’re afraid you’ll drag them down, I’ll feel terrible.]

[I’m not afraid of Timothy at all. I’ve decided—I’ll cut ties with my family. Tomorrow, I’ll go abroad with you.]
