Lost Me, Gained Regret (Jane and Bryant Ferguson) novel Chapter 355

"Susan," Bryant's brow furrowed just a bit, and he spoke with a chilly, distant voice, "There's no need to explain the disengagement to me."

After all, it had been part of his plan.

Whether truly confused or feigning ignorance, Susan protested, "But of course, I must explain everything to you. When you heard Dorothy was picking you up today, you made a point of coming over with Mr. Carlson. I understand..."

York's lips twitched in annoyance, interrupting, "Your confidence is admirable, but I must interject. Mr. Ferguson's visit today has nothing to do with Ms. Myers. Not a dime."

"How can it not be about Dorothy? If Mr. Ferguson's visit to the Myers family isn't for Dorothy, why..."

Susan stopped mid-sentence, realization dawning, her face darkening as she suddenly turned to look in my direction!

Bryant glanced down to adjust his cuff, his voice cold, "Just so you know, Susan, I'm here today to win back my wife."

His tone wasn't loud, but each word was loud and clear, making everyone around him hear it. His statement was like a slap across the faces of the Myers women.

Dorothy burst into tears as if she had faced the ultimate humiliation. She could only vent her anger on Susan, tugging at her arm. "Mom, why are you deluding yourself? Why put me through this embarrassment?"

"I didn't hear you objecting when I first mentioned it..." Susan's words trailed off as Dorothy, overcome with shame and anger, couldn't stand it any longer and ran out, crying.

Susan had no choice but to follow and console her.
