Chapter 241
Gregory left the words, giving me a look. “What are you waiting for? Let’s go.”
“Okay.”
He was tall with long legs, and his strides were wide. I struggled to keep up, hampered by the hem of my cocktail dress.
A forceful grip caught my wrist from behind as we were about to leave the hotel. “Jane!”
I stopped, tuming to face Bryant, his expression cold and forbidding. Calming my emotions, I asked softly, “What’s wrong?”
“What do you want, Mr. Ferguson?” Gregory turned, an eyebrow quirked in question.
Bryant’s eyes were filled with a stormy gloom. “Interfering in marital affairs now, Mr. Ford?”
“No interest in that. Gregory chuckled, “Just a friendly reminder, Mr. Ferguson, bigamy is against the law.”
Ignoring the comment, Bryant pulled me away without another word.
Gregory’s brows furrowed slightly. “Tll wait for you in the car.”
At that, Bryant’s grip on my wrist tightened, and he quickened his pace. He dragged me to a deserted area, slamming me against a wall. His eyes, deep and cold, suddenly flared with anger. “You’re close to Gregory?”
It was an outright accusation..
The impact against the wall sent a sharp pain across my shoulder blades, and I retorted, anger flaring, “What’s it to you?”
‘Jane… Bryant’s voice softened, his forehead resting against mine. His voice, usually so deep and captivating, carried bittemess. “You seem to have stopped being jealous.”
I turned my head away, a bitter smile on my lips. “Indeed, I’m not anymore.”
