Lost Me, Gained Regret (Jane and Bryant Ferguson) novel Chapter 240

I suddenly felt like a deer in headlights when caught in the spotlight with that question. After all, Dorothy wasn't wrong. It was her birthday bash. She had every right to decide who got an invite.

Before I could utter a word, Gregory casually glanced her way and improvised, "It was me. I practically begged her to come with me, and you want to kick her out already?"

With a few words, he dissolved my awkwardness.

Dorothy pouted, displeased. "Since when are you two so chummy..."

Gregory's gaze hardened. "Do I need to report every friendship to you?"

Dorothy added, "Didn't you know Bryant would be here? Are you trying to embarrass me by inviting her?"

"Enough!" A middle-aged woman interrupted with a gentle smile, "You two have always been at each other's throats since you were kids. Haven't you had enough?"

Her tone and expression were soothing.

She turned to Dorothy. "You're all grown up, dreaming of marrying Bryant, and still acting childish?"

At that moment, my eyes accidentally met Bryant's dark gaze. I had thought I might feel sad or something. But there was nothing.

It hit me calmly, like, right, so that was why. The reason Bryant was with them was this.

Dorothy affectionately wrapped her arm around the woman’s, whining, "Mom!"

So, the middle-aged couple were her parents.

Mrs. Myers gave me a once-over and looked at Gregory as if addressing a younger family member. "And who might this young lady be?"
