Lost Me Gained Regret

Chapter 481

The air hung still for a moment.

Mark didn't seem surprised, his face still adorned with a gentle smile. "Heard the news, congrats."

Then, he turned to Gregory, "Jane's been through a lot. I hope that with you, she won't have to face any more hardships."

"Otherwise, I, as her family, won't let it slide."

I half-expected the atmosphere to turn awkward. Even though Mark had promised to remain just friends, as adults, you can sense whether someone has truly moved on. Over the past couple of years, he avoided any romantic topics, but his day-to-day attentiveness was unmistakable.

But since he never brought it up, I felt it improper to stress the point needlessly. Now that the air was cleared without any fuss from him, I felt a huge weight lifted off my shoulders.

Christine playfully punched Gregory in the arm. "Count me in, Mr. Ford. Jane is my best and only friend. If you ever mistreat her, I won't care if you're Mr. Ford or just some Mr. Nobody."

"If I ever mistreat her," Gregory looked down at me, "I'll be the first to apologize with a peace offering."

Christine didn't buy it. "Really?"

I couldn't help but laugh. "I'm on my period, what could we possibly do?"

Christine's attempt at gossip flopped, mumbling, "Your timing is just impeccable."

As mealtime approached, smoke curled up from the chimneys of nearby homes, filling the air with a homely scent.

This season's cast included both high-profile celebrities and seasoned actors, attracting hordes of fans who camped out early just to catch a glimpse of their favorites.

Summer got off at the road, pulling her suitcase towards the direction indicated by the signs, her face beaming with a sweet smile that caught many fans' attention.

"Who's that?"

"Don't know her, but she came in the show's car, must be a guest?"

"Ah! It's that newcomer added last minute. I heard she's Ms. Taylor's daughter!"

"Lucky birth, but she seems so down-to-earth..."

As Summer passed by them, her smile remained unchanged, and she gestured towards the blazing sun. "It's quite hot today, be careful not to get heatstroke, okay?"

"Uh-huh! You're so pretty!"

"Seriously... Such good manners, no wonder she's Ms. Taylor's daughter."

Listening to the murmurs slowly fading behind her, Summer's smile deepened. In today's entertainment industry, everyone's playing a role, both on and off screen. She might not be the best actress on set, but when it comes to playing the game off camera, she was a natural.
