Lost Me, Gained Regret (Jane and Bryant Ferguson) novel Chapter 339

"Silly girl," she chuckled. "If I didn't know everything about you, why would I have brought you into our home? I also know about your ex-husband, Bryant."

"That means..."

Something dawned on me, and I couldn't help but ask, "When Dorothy brought Bryant over that time... you already knew?"

"I did it on purpose to give him a hard time!"

She raised her eyebrows, "If he can't even protect his own wife, he deserves it."

"Exactly, he deserves it."

"Listen to me, dear, Bryant might be a good man, but he's too complicated. Life with him would be too exhausting, too bitter."

"We're already divorced," I said with a smile.

She probed further, "Have you truly given up on him?"

"I have." I looked down at my abdomen, my voice tinged with bitterness. "We almost had a child, but he chose to save someone else over me, and we lost the baby."

It was a complete letting go, at that moment.

Everything that followed only made me think that it was better not to have started anything in the first place.

No matter how hard you try to fix a broken mirror, it's still broken. The cracks are always there as a reminder of the real pain it suffered.

Only those who haven't truly let go can piece a broken mirror back together.

Ramona became excited, "That's all the more reason to consider Greg! I guarantee you, he's genuinely a great guy. He might seem indifferent at times, but once he cares about someone or something, it's for life."

"Ramona," I sighed with a smile, "I'm not ready to think about these things..."

Being betrayed and abandoned once was enough.

And yet...

She hit the nail on the head, "Do you feel like you're not worthy of him because you're divorced?"

"Yes."
