Goodbye, Mr. Regret novel Chapter 425

The whole thing left her more confused than ever.

There was no way she and Vince could be related by blood. That was just impossible.

Unless… was there something off on her father’s side?

Her mother had jumped from a building all those years ago. But why? What would drive her to do that?

Did it have anything to do with her father?

But then again, Vince didn’t seem like he could be her father’s son either—they didn’t look anything alike.

On the way home, Jessica sent Vince a message.

[Vince, are you really your parents’ biological child?]

Her question came out of nowhere and left Vince completely baffled.

[I am, yeah. Why are you asking me this all of a sudden?]

So, he was really a Zimmerman by blood.

That meant there was absolutely no way they were related.

Could it be something to do with her grandmother’s side?

Her grandmother had been Larkin’s first love…

Larkin even said that once she was divorced, he wanted Vince to marry her.

That ruled out the possibility of her mother and Larkin being involved—Larkin would never have said something like that otherwise.

Jessica couldn’t find any solid answers on her own. She decided she’d have to go see Sheila and get the truth straight from her.

When she got home, Timothy was still there.

“Are you staying here tonight?” he asked.

Jessica shook her head, signing with her hands, “No, I’ll head back.”

She had nothing else left to do here, and she still needed to track down her birth father.

“Let’s go, then.”

Jessica got in the car with Timothy.

It was a two-hour drive. Jessica dozed off on the way, but she was still wary of Timothy and kept her distance, curling up by the window in the backseat.

Timothy noticed how uncomfortable she looked, and little by little, he scooted closer. When she slipped deeper into sleep, he gently eased her head onto his shoulder.

With something to lean on, Jessica slept more soundly and didn’t move away.

They were close now, and the familiar, comforting scent of her hair drifted to him. It had been so long since Timothy had breathed in anything that soothing. Without realizing, he fell asleep too.

When the car finally pulled up to The Gilded Whisper Estates, Jessica stirred awake and found herself nestled against Timothy’s chest.

Startled, she sat up straight, almost bolting out of the car in her haste.

Timothy had woken up earlier. Jessica, even in sleep, kept shifting away; it had taken him ages to finally coax her to rest against him.

Back in her room, Jessica’s mind was still a jumbled mess. She pulled out her phone and saw a message from Vince.
