Lost Me, Gained Regret (Jane and Bryant Ferguson) novel Chapter 387

I was about to refuse, but after hearing his words, I accepted, joking, "So, there was a time when you treated money like dirt?"

I sneered inwardly, ‘Now, you won't wake up early if there wasn't a profit in it, but back in the day, you’d hand out a house just like that.’

Gregory arched an eyebrow, "Thanks for the compliment. After all, I did take quite a few treasures from you back in the day."

‘That's just staying true to your roots,’ I guessed.

After slipping into some house slippers, he wheeled his luggage into the bedroom. "I've got all the basics covered, but take a look around and see if there's anything else you need."

He leaned against the door frame, casually asking, "Can we continue? What else did you find out in RiverCity?"

"This." I pulled a rabbit-shaped pendant under my shirt, "You recognize it, right?"

"Of course." His expression tensed slightly, "You've been wearing it all this time?"

I said, "Yeah, not long after I saw you in RiverCity, my aunt gave it to me."

He had pinched my face out of shape. "I didn't realize it was so important."

"You're killing me." He let go, giving me a sideways glance. "So, what about the pendant?"

"There's a 'Taylor' engraved on the bottom," I turned to Gregory, "Do you know where this pendant came from?"

"It was a gift from your mom, Susan, when you were born." Gregory furrowed his brows, recalling, "About this 'Taylor', we asked Ramona about it. She said Susan was from the Taylor family."
