Lost Me, Gained Regret (Jane and Bryant Ferguson) novel Chapter 409

His eyes crinkled with a smirk, "Either way, I can afford it."

"..."

I was at a loss for words, because, well, he wasn't wrong. All I could do was nod in agreement, "Alright, then I... better get going. I'll have it delivered to the Ferguson Mansion once it's ready."

...

By the time I got back to Janedream, there was someone already waiting in the office.

Mark glanced at me, a look of resignation on his face, "How come you dashed off to the States without saying a word? If it weren't for my call with Dave, I'd have no clue you were back."

"I saw on your social media that you were traveling for work."

I chuckled, "Thought I'd wait for you to get back before catching up."

No sooner had the words left my mouth than Christine clicked in on her heels, eyebrows raised in a playful challenge, "So, did you manage to secure it this time?"

I nodded, "Got it."

"For real?"

She was skeptical, "Show me, then."

I had told her last night that I was meeting Bryant to get our divorce papers.

She doubted it would go smoothly, suspecting some sort of last-minute snag.

I handed her the divorce papers, "See for yourself. Genuine."

Last time, naivety got the better of me, allowing Bryant to trick me with a forged document.

Christine's face lit up with glee, "Finally, you're free from that mess of a marriage."

Mark seemed taken aback, "You and Bryant are officially divorced?"

"Yeah, just today."

"Well, let's celebrate. Dinner's on me tonight."

Mark chuckled, "First, to welcome you back, and second, to celebrate your divorce."

"Generous!"

Christine gave him a thumbs up, "Can we go all out?"

"Knock yourselves out."
