Lost Me Gained Regret

Chapter 463

"That one, not this one."

"The other one?"

Alaric racked his brain, but nothing came to mind. Knowing this was all the information his girlfriend could provide, he decided not to dwell on it. "Alright, got it. Thanks, babe. Love you."Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

After a brief sweet talk, he hung up and called his assistant.

"Look up the founders of Janedream for me. I need their info and pictures."

If he could help Bryant win back his ex-wife, they would surely become VIPs in RF Group. What was there to worry about?

The next day, with Gregory heading back to the Ford estate that evening, I finished Bella's gown but couldn't shake off a sense of unease. Christine, seeing right through me, said, "Your worrying won't help, and do you really think Gregory is the type to make the same mistake twice?" "I'm just concerned..."

"Concerned about what?" Christine chuckled, pulling me down to sit on the couch. "What do you think matters more to Gregory, you or anything else?"

Her words left me stunned, but then it started to dawn on me.

Christine laughed softly, "There you go. After all the trouble to win you over, he wouldn't risk it unless he was absolutely sure."

"He's fearless, doesn't even flinch at the devil himself."

"But with a weak spot, it's a different story," Christine added.

Thinking back to what Gregory had said the night before, I began to feel more at ease.

Christine poked my forehead, "You see, it's the lab explosion from two years ago. It's left you with a big shadow in your heart, making you worry over nothing."

"Maybe a little."

No one wants to lose what's important to them.

I wished I could stop him. But I knew I couldn't.

He needed to reclaim what belonged to them in the Ford estate for his mother, himself, and Molly Ford.

He had his duties to fulfill.

Christine teased, "If you're that worried, why not drive him there and wait in the car?"

I actually started to consider the feasibility until my phone rang. It was Bella.

I answered, and her voice came through softly, "Jane, what are you up to?"

"Just finished your gown."

I smiled, my attention diverted. "Are you in Vista Town these days? I can bring it over when you're free."

"I am! I just moved, and I've got some free time today. Want to come over and see my new place?"

"Today?" I hesitated but then agreed, "Sure, which neighborhood? I'll bring it over this afternoon." Bella responded quickly, "Perfect, I've moved to Cloud Villas."

"See you this afternoon."

After hanging up, Christine raised an "I thought you'd at least

"Gregory said last night he didn't need me to go with him."

Rather than sitting at home worrying, I figured it was better to keep busy to avoid getting anxious.

Besides, being around Bella always seemed to calm me down. Like having a free therapist.

After checking in at the gate, I drove to Bella's house.

Holding the gown, I rang the bell. Summer answered.

She eyed me, extending her hand, "Just hand over the gown, and you can leave."

I didn't move, offering a polite smile. "Is this coming from Ms. Taylor?"

Bella had mentioned wanting me to see her new place, not to be sent away upon arrival. Summer replied curtly, "Doesn't matter whose idea it was."
