Lost Me, Gained Regret (Jane and Bryant Ferguson) novel Chapter 234

I was scratching my head, trying to simplify a whole mess of relationships for Christine, but I failed.

Too lazy to keep trying, I just started tidying up while unraveling the whole narrative for Christine.

At last, she got it. “So, that guy is Bryant’s future brother-in-law?” she summarized.

Caught between laughter and tears, I paused, "Who else could jump to that conclusion faster than you?"

Mark seemed to have had the housekeeper come by earlier. The place was spotless.

After we put away our stuff, we just collapsed on the couch.

Christine glanced at me. “Didn’t you say you had something serious to discuss with me? What’s up?”

I handed her the documents Mark gave me. “I’m thinking about starting my own business. You fancy getting in on it?”

“Absolutely!” Her eyes lit up with excitement.

I couldn’t help but chuckle. “So, that whole spiel about quitting your job at the hospital, saying you had plans. Was that a fib?”

“It’s just that your plan sounds more appealing,” Christine said with a mischievous grin as she looked through the documents. After I explained the origins of Janedream, she seemed even more intrigued. “So, when do we start?”

I smiled. “Right now.”

Once we’d decided to do something, we couldn’t put it off even for a day.

Ever the firecracker, Christine clapped her hands in agreement.

After lunch, we started planning various aspects of the business. Christine took charge of selecting the office and deciding on the location while I handled the initial preparations.

A quick calculation showed that selling the Riverview Estate property would be more than to cover our initial investment. The next day, I contacted a real estate agent to list the Riverview Estate property.

Late at night, Bryant called, his tone unfriendly, “You’re selling the house?”

I admitted, “Yes.”
