Lost Me, Gained Regret (Jane and Bryant Ferguson) novel Chapter 386

I paused, turning to him with a huff. "Did I ever say I'd marry you?"

"Everything else, I can go by your word." Gregory's lips curled into a slight smirk, "But this, this is where I call the shots."

I rolled my eyes at him. "What, you're going to tie me up if I don't agree?"

While saying that, I headed downstairs. Seeing Gregory follow me to the car, I asked, puzzled, "Where's your car?"

"The driver took off." Gregory pulled open the passenger door, his long legs slipping into the car before mine. He settled in with such ease, even quicker than I did.

Today was unusual. Gregory didn't fall asleep the moment I got into the car. As I started the engine, he asked, "Did you find out anything from your aunt?"

"Yeah, a bit." Mentioning my aunt dampened my spirits slightly. As I drove, I shared, "I was indeed kidnapped back then, but I managed to escape into my dad's car, and he saved me."

"They mentioned something about 'Susan' while searching for me." As I spoke, I waited for his thoughts. "Do you think... the person who kidnapped me could be... Susan?"

"It's highly probable." Gregory frowned slightly, "But she was nice to you before the kidnapping. So, I never suspected her all these years."

"Right." I pursed my lips. "No wonder I felt somewhat familiar when I saw her before."

After all, when I was little, she was kind to me, someone I once called Mom.

Gregory seemed thoughtful, then asked, "Any other leads?"

"There are." Just as I was about to continue, he instructed near a traffic light, "Turn left here."

"Huh? Where are we going?" I was confused for a moment. That wasn't the way to the hotel, but I followed his direction and signaled to turn.

Gregory's voice was relaxed and pleasing. "I'm taking you somewhere special. You'll see."

"Oh."

"Keep talking."

I whetted his appetite. "I'll tell you when we get there then."

I decided to play coy, too.
