Bryant seemed stunned but remained silent.
I asked in a hushed tone, "What about our wedding night? Why did you leave?"
I vaguely remembered I sat on the balcony waiting all night that night. It was our wedding night, and he left his newlywed wife at home, carelessly heading out. I thought something serious had happened, worried about his safety while also fretting if I had somehow displeased him. At the same time, I was eagerly hoping for his early return.
I was only twenty-three then, having somehow married the man I had secretly adored for years. How could I not have expectations for our marriage and him?
Then, I finally learned that while I was eagerly waiting for him to come home, he was with another woman. It all felt like a cruel joke.
Bryant didn't hide it anymore, his voice cold and steady. "That night, she had gone drag racing and got into a mishap. The police called me to pick her up."
What a coincidence.
On the very day of our wedding, Margaret had an accident, and it was in the dead of night.
But I remembered, just several days after the wedding, at the family dinner, she was there, without a scratch on her.
I rolled down the car window, silent for a while, and said calmly, "Bryant, if she's the one you've got feelings for, we can go our separate ways on good terms."
He slammed on the brakes and parked at the side of the road, his gaze fixed on me, his emotions finally surfacing.
It was unusual to see him anything other than cool and collected.
"I never thought..." Buzz. The vibration of a text message interrupted him.
Bryant glanced at it, annoyance flashing across his face, and he said without hesitation, "She's in trouble again. I might have to go check on her."
I struggled to contain the bitterness surging in my chest, trying to control my emotions, and then I glanced at him through the streetlight. The person I had longed for seemed to fill me with disillusionment.
"Got it." I tiredly opened the car door and stepped out.
At that moment of anger, divorce crossed my mind. But I'd loved Bryant for so many years. It wasn't going to be easy to just let it go.

The readers' comments on the novel: Lost Me, Gained Regret (Jane and Bryant Ferguson)
This story is useless now. there is no essence. Jane is a whore, at least Bryant never sleep around. There was a misunderstanding between him and his step sister but he never slept with anyone. Bryant should just find a good woman by his side. Jane and Gregory will have a baby. Jane found her biological mother. So what else to be expect in this story?...
Who is the ML ? Hope its Greg.. but I kinda feel pity for Bryant too now.....
