Lost Me, Gained Regret (Jane and Bryant Ferguson) novel Chapter 213

I would just be pissed off if it were any other day.

But right then, their antics were just hilariously pathetic, and it made all the irritation I was feeling evaporate.

I chuckled and tossed two words back at them. "Not divorced."

Their smug smiles froze instantly. Ever the skeptic, Margaret scoffed, "How is that possible? Bry went out of his way to alert the town hall, insisting on getting the divorce certificate with you as soon as possible. Cut the act, Jane. A divorce is nothing to be ashamed of."

I just shrugged, playing it cool. "Guess Bryant had a change of heart. You know, 'til death do us part and all that jazz. Not everyone can live up to those vows."

"Jane, how can you be so..." Margaret glared at me, wishing to claw my eyes out, but Teresa cut her off, "For heaven's sake, Margaret, you're thirty. Why do you let her get under your skin like this?"

Then, Teresa turned to me with a curious look, "Is that true?"

I shrugged. "Why don't you check?"

And she did. Striding into the office with all the entitlement in the world, she announced, "I'm Bryant's mother."

I wondered if she could be any more shameless.

Having seen her trailing Bryant earlier, the clerk took her word for it, "Mrs. Ferguson, how can I help?"

"Did those two just divorce?"

"No, ma'am."
