Lost Me, Gained Regret (Jane and Bryant Ferguson) novel Chapter 30

His face was dark with displeasure as he picked up the document and gave it a cursory glance, his voice laced with scrutiny. "So, all you want is that house?"

"Yes," I replied.

Though a gift from Bryant, that house had seen much of my heart and effort in its decoration. Beyond that, I wanted nothing else.

The house would provide a place for my baby and me to live. Everything else, while not extravagant, was enough to ensure a decent life for my child.

That way, even if the truth about my baby's lineage came out one day, I could firmly establish a boundary between him and the Ferguson family. After all, the Ferguson family hadn’t spent a dime on raising him.

"Fine, I'll sign it when I get a chance," Bryant said, tossing the document into a drawer.

I frowned. "Aren’t you free right now?"

It would only take a moment to sign.

Bryant’s face remained impassive. "I need to have my lawyer look it over first."

I lowered my gaze. "Okay, just make it quick."

With those words, I headed straight back to my office.

The divorce was settled. And all that was left was to resign.

I dialed the HR department. "Hello, sir, this is Jane. I was wondering why I hadn't got my resignation approval yet?"

The director said, "Ah, about that. Mr. Ferguson said it was not to be approved. Sorry, I must’ve been too busy the past few days and forgot to reply to your email."

Bryant refused?

He should be, like Margaret, eager to see me go.

I had no choice but to call Bryant. "The director of the HR department said you rejected my resignation?"
