Lost Me, Gained Regret (Jane and Bryant Ferguson) novel Chapter 331

"Bryant, in your envisioned grand plan, am I supposed to be grateful and teary-eyed by now?" I asked sarcastically.

"No."

Avoiding my gaze, Bryant loosened his tie with one hand, "I just hoped life could be a bit easier for you."

"Sure."

I didn't rush to disagree, speaking softly, "So, name your price. Pull your shares out of Janedream, get rid of that 51% stake, and I'll breathe easier."

From the start, it seemed we never truly understood each other.

He once saw me as a weed in the desert, barely sparing me a glance. And now, he treated me like a rose in a greenhouse, too delicate to handle anything rough.

As for me? I'd lost all trust in him.

Why insist on staying together then?

He suddenly looked at me, his lips a tight line, "Jane..."

I smiled, "Didn't you say you wanted me to have it easy?"

"With RF backing you up, you'll have it easy."

I looked down at the bustling traffic below the skyscraper, and after a moment of silence, I felt a wave of melancholy, "Bryant, you've never understood what I truly want. You haven't even given me the basic respect I deserve."

"I know..."

"What do you know?"

As I spoke, my feelings were a tangled mess. "Before you decided to invest, did you ever respect my wishes? Did you even let me know that you were the one investing in Janedream?!"

"What are your wishes then?"

Bryant, unusually humble, his noble features softened with emotion, "Alright, I promise, from now on, I'll respect your wishes as much as possible..."
