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.

Herbert cleared his throat awkwardly, keeping his cool, and quickly changed the topic. "Didn't you promise to return home with me? Let's go, the car is waiting downstairs."

He didn't have much time this trip.

The plan was only to see her and then catch the early flight back home the next day. There were several project meetings waiting for him.

Bringing her back with him would be ideal.

Edith began to have second thoughts, "I wanted to have a few more days of fun..."

Herbert, "Ike misses you."

"That's impossible."
