Lost Me, Gained Regret (Jane and Bryant Ferguson) novel 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, turning 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. "I'll 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?"

If I hadn’t mistaken it, we were nothing more than a signature away from divorce. All I wanted was a clean break. I didn't want to pry whether Bryant was with Margaret or Dorothy. And I certainly didn't want him meddling in my life.

Bryant's hand on my shoulder gradually slid down, ending with a simple assurance, "There's nothing between Dorothy and me."

I lowered my gaze, trying to sound nonchalant. "It's okay. You don't need to explain to me."

The time for his assurances was long gone.

His expression emptied, as if something within him shattered, "You... don't care anymore?"

I said, "No, not anymore."

His gaze lingered on me, silent for a long moment before he spoke with clear, stubborn words. "I don't believe it."
