Lost Me, Gained Regret (Jane and Bryant Ferguson) novel Chapter 236

Hearing the news, Christine wasn’t disappointed. Instead, she turned into a gossip queen. "So, going out with the Gregory guy living across your hallway?"

I was surprised. "How did you know?"

Christine explained, "Who around you could I possibly not know about? Besides me, there's Mark and Bryant. You wouldn't bother with Bryant. If it were Mark, you'd have told me right away. By process of elimination, that leaves Gregory."

My gaze drifted to the distant skyscrapers, their neon lights flickering in the night. I chuckled, "Nothing gets past you, huh?"

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, I hung up, only to find Bryant had woken up.

I put away my phone and dropped the smile, speaking steadily, "You're awake. You should go home then."

His deep eyes fixed on me. "Trying to avoid me now?"

"Not at all." I shook my head and walked into the living room. "I'm just trying to keep my life simple."

As everyone thought, I had no parents and barely anything to rely on. How could I possibly stand up to them?

Whether the Ferguson family or the Myers family, it made no difference. If I couldn't confront them, I could at least avoid them.

Bryant frowned. "Did Margaret come to you again?"

"It was Dorothy this time." I stated plainly, my voice tinged with fatigue, "Bryant, let's not make this harder for each other. Let's get the divorce papers sorted."

Then, we could go our separate ways.

Yet, he seemed to ignore my point, steering the conversation elsewhere. "Why the sudden need to sell the house? Did something happen?"
