Lost Me, Gained Regret (Jane and Bryant Ferguson) novel Chapter 336

The Devil had the lightest sleep you could imagine. Not even bothering to take off his sleep mask, with a familiar stretch of his long arm towards the backseat, he opened his palm.

I felt like I'd been pardoned, quickly placing the earbuds in his hand.

He fitted the earbuds with practiced ease and drifted back to sleep.

Molly let out a long sigh of relief, snuggled closer, and after a moment of silence, she began to whisper.

"Jane, I was just trying to get under my brother's skin on purpose, but honestly, he's a really good guy."

"Really?"

I was puzzled why she was suddenly opening up about this.

Molly rested her head on my shoulder. "I'm not on great terms with my dad because of his affair. I hate him for betraying my mom."

I was slightly taken aback.

"As a kid, I was frail and barely left the house." Molly continued, "After that, I moved out of the Ford Residence. I even blamed my brother for not leaving with me."

I nodded. "Guess he grew up fast, huh?"

"Yeah."

Molly sighed, a tinge of guilt in her voice. "Later, I realized he was smarter and more rational than me. Only someone like him could make the right decisions."

"Otherwise, we would have just handed over everything that belonged to my mom and us."

"I was just too immature and reckless."

Hearing this, I tried to comfort her, "You didn't do anything wrong. As long as you're not hurting anyone, any choice you make is okay."

She must have been very young at the time.

Very few can be thoughtful and considerate in their youth.

"No, I was wrong. I moved out of the Ford family but still enjoyed the privileges that came with the Ford name." Molly shook her head, "And all because my brother took on the responsibilities that were mine."

I patted her head gently, "But he probably never blamed you."

Gregory seemed like nothing bothered him. But it was clear he cared deeply for Molly, his little sister.
