Lost Me, Gained Regret (Jane and Bryant Ferguson) novel Chapter 878

"I’m not exactly sure of the details, but Gina mentioned it was due to irreconcilable differences."

"Was it a love marriage or arranged?"

"Her grandfather was the deputy to Timothy Ferguson’s grandfather during the war. He even took a bullet for him. Since Gina’s grandfather was her only family, after he passed away, Timothy arranged for his grandson to marry her."

Christine felt like the gossip she held in her hands was sweeter than any fruit she could imagine.

"And then? Was the grandson unwilling to marry her?"

Realizing she might have sounded harsh, she quickly clarified, "I’m just talking, you know. Mira’s here, so I’m keeping it clean."

Mira sighed, "Phew—"

Bella pinched Mira’s cheek playfully and took a sip of the hot tea Raleigh handed her.

"Her ex-husband didn’t really like her. Right after the wedding, he took a job out of state. During that time, she picked up photography gigs and even went abroad to shoot wildlife. They didn’t see each other once in those three years."

"And after three years, when Timothy got seriously ill, the first thing he did was file for divorce."

Christine was enthralled, "This is more gripping than any novel I’ve read."

Seeing Christine’s interest, Bella continued.

"Timothy didn’t want them to divorce, but Gina is a free spirit. She had already endured three years of a loveless marriage to honor her grandfather’s last wish."

"As she puts it, even though marriage laws provide protection, they also limit her freedom to love."

"But for some reason, despite not liking her, her ex-husband, who hadn’t contacted her in three years as if she didn’t exist, refused to agree to the divorce when she brought it up."

Christine quickly asked, "So they’re still not divorced?"

Bella shook her head, "No, in fact, her ex-husband has started pursuing her."

"That’s intense."

Christine took a sip of her tea to calm herself, "Who is this ex-husband anyway? Has he ever been interested in anyone else?"

Bella mentioned a name, but Christine didn’t recognize it.

Bella then mentioned the company he works for and his current position.

"Oh my... is that the Cliffside Town Hawthornes?"
