Lost Me, Gained Regret (Jane and Bryant Ferguson) novel Chapter 118

I squinted for a clearer view. One photo captured Mark and me at a concert caught from the side. Another showed us leaving, his arm seemingly resting on my shoulder from behind.

Seeing the second picture, I got why I didn't get jostled by the crowd again after nearly being knocked over that day. Mark had been guarding me from behind all along.

I found it funny and annoying. "This guy's got quite the imagination and logical reasoning skills."

"Mark's so attentive to you. No wonder people get the wrong idea," Christine said, "I think he's more reliable than Bryant."

"Don't be ridiculous." I sipped my lemonade. "Mark's got someone he likes, and he's been into her for years."

Christine wondered, "Who is it? How come we've never seen her?"

"I don't know. Probably when Mark finally wins her over, he'll bring her around." I kept silent about Mark's crush on some married girl. It was his private matter and somewhat immoral. It was better kept to as few people as possible.

Christine pouted. "And here I was thinking you two were perfect for each other. Turns out I was the only one excited about it."

"Come on. I'm still married. If you want to play a matchmaker, at least wait till I'm divorced," I chuckled.

"Okay." Christine buried her head in her meal, and after we finished eating, she dragged me out for a walk to help digest our food.

While on the escalator, we noticed a crowd gathered around a store.

Ever curious, Christine pulled me over, casually asking a bystander, "Hey handsome, what's everyone looking at?"
