Lost Me, Gained Regret (Jane and Bryant Ferguson) novel Chapter 232

‘When it rains, it pours.’ That was the first thing that popped into my head when I turned around and saw Gregory's bright, handsome face.

Mark glanced at Gregory, too, a slight frown creasing his brow. "Mr. Ford, you live here?"

It was the same question I had. Given Gregory’s wealth, he could pick any mansion, so why would he stay in such a homey place?

Gregory flashed an easy smile. "Tagging along for school."

‘Tagging along? Isn't he supposed to be on the prowl for a young fiancée? And now he has a kid? Wealthy families are all too messy, secret children included.’ I sighed secretly.

Mark chuckled, exchanged a few pleasantries, and wheeled in the luggage from the hallway into the house.

Seeing Mark was ready to keep helping, I quickly waved him off. "You don’t have to do this, Mark. Christine will be here soon. She'll help me out. You can get back to your work now."

Mark had just returned to the Larson family. And with Violet stirring trouble, he must have got his hands full.

"Okay." Mark checked the time, didn't insist further, but still asked with concern, "So, how do you like the place?"

I smiled. "Couldn't be better."

The appliances were all set. I just needed to pick up some everyday items.

"That's good. I'll send you the door code on WhatsApp, and you can change it anytime." His gaze was soft. "I'll head out then, but call me if you need anything."

"Will do." I saw Mark to the elevator and watched the doors close before returning to my new place.

"Avoiding trouble, huh?" Gregory seemed to have just woken up. After wandering into his place and returning with a glass of water, he leaned against the doorway and lazily asked.

I shot him a look. "You know exactly why. Keep Dorothy in check and stop her from causing trouble for others."
