Lost Me, Gained Regret (Jane and Bryant Ferguson) novel Chapter 707

Back at Elmwood Villas, Gregory was practically dragging me to the bedroom.

"It's not even dark yet!" I protested, trying to push him away with some embarrassment.

Gregory pinned my hands down. "We got married today, everyone expects us to... you know."

The desire in his eyes was unmistakable, and I couldn't help but glare at him.

He continued, "Plus, mom's got the kids busy in the playroom, so we won't be disturbed."

I was no match for his strength, completely at his mercy.

Unable to break free or stop him, I felt a mix of annoyance and shyness and tried to buy some time.

"Let's not talk about Christine and Dailey's drama right now, but there's something else we need to discuss."

Gregory didn't pause, his deep eyes locking onto mine. "You mean the thing with mom and Mr. Shaw?"

I nodded.

My mom had finally agreed, and I had invited Raleigh to the wedding.

But when I told him my plans, Raleigh declined politely: "It's your big day. We can't steal the spotlight. Dancing and singing aside, your mom can give a speech. I'll sit this one out."

"Jane, I get it. I'm grateful your mom was open to me attending your wedding without completely cutting ties. But weddings are significant, especially considering everything you and Gregory have been through."

"Feelings can't be forced. I don't want to make things difficult for your mom. Let's just let things be."

So, I didn't plan for those parts at my wedding.

And when Raleigh showed up, he was very discreet, only quietly acknowledging my mom.

Throughout the wedding, there was hardly any interaction between them.

Lucius had just brought my mom back from the event, as Raleigh had to fly out for an engagement abroad.

"So, genius, analyze this for me. Do you think there's a chance for mom and Mr. Shaw?"

Gregory drawled, his eyes narrowing playfully. "Trying to buy time, huh?"

"..."

Of course, I couldn't admit it, so I retorted, "Mom is one of the people closest to us. How can you not care about her happiness?"

"Oh, the moral high ground now?"
