Lost Me, Gained Regret (Jane and Bryant Ferguson) novel Chapter 208

His eyes turned ice cold instantly, his voice dropping to a warning whisper. "Jane, Your boldness continues to surprise me more and more. We're not divorced yet."

"I'm aware," I replied, lifting my head defiantly. "In a place as crowded as this, what could happen between Mark and me?"

"Come home with me!" His tone was as commanding as ever, his hand gripping mine, ready to drag me away.

I tried to pull free, only to hear him say, "He and Dorothy got called away by Gladys. Do you want to freeze out here?" Clearly, Mark wouldn't be showing up anytime soon.

Reluctantly, I stopped struggling. After all, I had a crucial discussion pending with Bryant tonight.

"Let go. I can walk by myself," I insisted.

He ignored my protest, dragging me to the car.

A spark of anger flared within me. I quickly sent a message to Mark, informing him I had to leave early. Then, without waiting to get home, I pulled up a video and thrust my phone before Bryant.

The car filled with the suggestive sounds from the video!

Probably thinking we were spicing up our evening with porn, the driver discreetly raised the privacy screen.

Bryant didn't look at the phone but stared at me instead. "You've started watching this sort of thing now?" he asked, a hint of amusement in his voice.

"Just keep watching," I urged, my arm growing tired, and I handed the phone to Bryant.

As the unmistakable voices of Albert and Margaret emanated from the device, Bryant's expression turned frosty.

The recorded conversation was utterly unsuitable for polite company, made all the worse because the speakers were his father and the woman he adored!

Bryant gave me a chilling glance before fiddling with the screen.

"Deleting it won't help," I pointed out, having expected the move. "I've made backups."
