Goodbye, Mr. Regret novel Chapter 399

Yates stared, dumbfounded, at the scene unfolding before him.

Was Vince actually standing up for Jessica? Now that was something—such a generous spirit.

Even though it was obvious Vince had feelings for Jessica, he still accepted her being with Herbert. Yates couldn’t help but admire him, genuinely impressed.

Meanwhile, Timothy’s brow was furrowed in frustration. He’d only been trying to help Sheila—Jessica was a natural talent who didn’t need any of this.

Did Vince really have to lose his temper over it?

Still, having managed to anger his brother-in-law once again, Timothy felt his chest tighten with anxiety.

Noticing the tension in Timothy’s expression, Yates piped up, “Well, I’ve got something else to take care of. I’ll head out first.”

With that, he hurried off and caught up with Vince in the parking garage.

“Seriously, what was with that outburst back there? Timothy looked like he’d seen a ghost.”

Vince scoffed, “Let him. I’m not here to cater to his feelings. No wonder even a woman who can’t speak ended up marrying above her station with him—only to want a divorce anyway. Married for seven years, kid’s already six, and he still can’t keep things clean with Sheila.”

“You can’t look at it that way,” Yates replied. “Sheila’s his first love, his one that got away. He risked everything to marry his own aunt, after all. It’s not like they broke up because they stopped loving each other. If he can’t get over his old flame, who can blame him? And you acting like you’ve got your eye on his wife—what’s he supposed to feel? We’re all friends here. Who he loves is his business. Why get so worked up? Seriously, you’ve got too much free time.”

In their circle, men juggling double lives was hardly shocking—especially in Yates’s world, where he’d seen it all in the film industry.

As long as Timothy could keep things balanced, what did it matter? Sheila and Timothy would just have to keep their affair under wraps; one woman in public, one in private—wasn’t exactly uncommon.

Not Yates’s problem, anyway.

He kept trying to talk Vince down. “Don’t let this get to you. It’s his private life, and interfering will just mess up your friendship. It’s not worth it.”
