Lost Me, Gained Regret (Jane and Bryant Ferguson) novel Chapter 498

Herbert lowered his gaze, his face still clouded with anger. "No more games for three?"

Edith was somewhat puzzled. "So what if we play? Are you mad about that?"

Herbert struggled to suppress his rising temper, just as the mixed-race guy spoke up, "Come on, man, is it because people your age don't like to play board games anymore?"

Herbert's brows twitched at the comment, turning to Edith, "When you said 'game,' you meant board games?"

"What else?"

Edith rolled her eyes, finishing her sentence before it dawned on her. She stared at Herbert in disbelief. "Herbert, you always look so serious, and here I thought you were thinking of something filthy?"

She was still teasing when Herbert had already moved on.

He didn't have much time this trip.

Zoe was already in the kitchen, preparing breakfast. The air was filled with the sweet aroma of eight-treasure porridge.

"Jane!" Christine suddenly burst out of her room, phone in hand, searching for me.

She stopped at the bathroom door, hopping excitedly, "We're completely viral again!"

Looking at her with dark circles from last night's hangover, I handed Ike his toothbrush with toothpaste, "What went viral this time?"
