Lost Me, Gained Regret (Jane and Bryant Ferguson) novel Chapter 242

Watching him like that, a swirl of indescribable emotions bubbled inside me. Suddenly, I got the meaning of that saying, "Love declared too late is of no worth."

I pursed my lips. "Believe it or not, it's up to you."

With those words, I didn't give him another glance. I just walked away. I wasn't sure if it was because I didn't want to see him or was afraid to. What he thought of me didn't matter anymore. I just wanted to live my life well. That was all.

But alas, I forgot many things weren't up to us.

As I reached the hotel lobby, I bumped straight into Susan. Oddly enough, I didn't have much affection for Dorothy, but her parents somehow felt familiar, even endearing.

When our eyes met, I offered Susan a smile, but her expression was unreadable, and she gave me a once-over more openly than she had earlier at the party.

I smiled politely. "Mrs. Myers, I'll be on my way."

Her demeanor softened, but her gaze remained distant. "We've met already. You can call me Susan."

My nails dug into my palm, making me uneasy, but I quickly responded, "Okay then. Susan, I really must be going..."

Susan insisted, "Ms. Webster, let's talk for a moment. It won't take long."

"Okay." For some reason, I found it hard to refuse her.

I had a feeling she was here to speak on Dorothy's behalf. I could guess what she would say.

I should've coldly refused and walked away, but I somehow wanted to hear her out.

Susan’s initially distant gaze softened. "I've heard you and Bryant have been dragging your feet, not yet filing for divorce?"
