Lost Me Gained Regret

Chapter 455

So, I hadn't heard a peep about Gregory getting back together with Jane when I dropped by his place yesterday. After mulling it over, Clarence was adamant, shaking his head. "No way, Dailey. You might not get Gregory as well as you think..."

Dailey fell silent, not bothering to argue. He knew all too well what was going on in Gregory's mind. A guy who could wait for someone for over two decades without a glimmer of hope wasn't about to switch lanes that easily. Especially considering Christine, Jane's best friend, had shown up in Vista Town. Chances were, Jane was here too.

But when the news of Christine being in town didn't even make Gregory bat an eyelid yesterday, that said it all. It meant he was already in the know. It meant he was still on the same doomed path. It meant trouble for Clarence.

Christine, finding Clarence's naivety amusing and never one to shy away from stirring the pot, chimed in, "How about we make a bet?"

Clarence was intrigued, "Bet on what?"

"On whether Gregory's girlfriend is our very own Jane."

"You're on..." Clarence's voice trailed off, suddenly pausing, "Wait a second, do you know something I don't? Gregory didn't really fall for your friend's trap, did he??"

"Trap? You better watch your words, or you'll be eating them..."

"It is what it is," Clarence shrugged. "To get Gregory to reconsider, your friend must've turned on the waterworks, begging him..."

Gregory and I reached the private room's door, and as he pushed it open, those were the words that greeted us. I paused, slightly taken aback. Gregory, with a half-smile, introduced me, "Gentlemen, meet my wife, Jane."

The guy who was talking was dumbfounded. He scanned his eyes between me and Gregory several times, finally settling on our interlocked hands. He was thunderstruck.

"Jane! Jane, I'm Clarence. You can call me Larry, Lenny, Clarence, anything!"

In the next instant, he jumped up, grinning from ear to ear, "So you're Gregory's girlfriend! I knew it; only you could match up to Gregory! Gregory's lucky to have you; it's like his ancestors are looking out for

him!"

I smiled gently, "Nice to meet you, I'm Jane."

Clarence was quick with his words, "Jane, no wonder Gregory's been hung up on you all these years. You two are a match made in heaven!"This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Christine couldn't help but shake her head. "Larry, you were singing a different tune just a minute ago..."

"Hey, stop!" Clarence quickly turned

to Christine. "You wanted that store,

right? Pick any store you like

tomorrow, if I have to pay a penalty to move the brand out, it's yours."

"Really?"

"I swear."

Christine raised an eyebrow, "Alright, considering how sensible you're being, I'll let it slide this time."

"Well..." I lifted him onto my lap, glanced at Gregory, and smiled softly, "That depends on how your uncle behaves."

Hearing this, the little tyke looked up at his uncle, all seriousness, "Uncle! You gotta step up, Ike doesn't wanna change aunties!" "I'm on it." Gregory smiled, his arm draping over my shoulder, his grin infectious, "Never been this determined before."
