Lost Me Gained Regret

Chapter 511

He chuckled, "Jane, do you have any idea how much of my life you've missed?"

"How much?"

"Let's not count the years before I found you."

Gregory didn't even pause before he proudly stated, "You've been absent for 758 days. In those 758 days, I've changed; I'm not the same person I was."

I was somewhat touched, but his last sentence made me slowly type out a question mark, "Hmm?"

"I can cook now."

He lifted his chiseled jaw, pinned me to the couch with a calm demeanor, and said, "Just wait for dinner."

With that, he headed into the kitchen.

I leaned against the back of the couch, slightly worried, but seeing his smooth and practiced movements through the glass door, I relaxed.

I found a more comfortable position and watched his every move.

My heart felt full, wishing time could stop at this moment.NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

The man wore a hand-tailored white shirt, its sleeves casually rolled up to reveal his delicate wrists and toned forearms.

The shirt was tucked into his trousers, embracing his long legs. The clothes were a bit wrinkled from our earlier flirtation, adding a sense of disarray. Yet, it strangely suited his aura.

The Gregory I knew had always been flamboyant and unrestrained.

He was always himself.

As I was mesmerized by him, he waved a hand in front of my face, saying with deep meaning, "If you keep looking at me like that, I won't mind adding an appetizer."

"... You rogue!"

I snapped back to reality, my cheeks flushing red.

Gregory's teasing laugh rang out, "Go on, wash up for dinner."

"Okay!"

I sniffed, drawn by the delicious smell of dinner, and hurriedly washed my hands before sitting at the dining table.

The table was set with three dishes and a soup, each looking incredibly appetizing.

I looked at him in surprise, "Have you been to a cooking school these past two years?"

"...Shut up."

Gregory gave me a sidelong glance and served me a spicy shrimp, "Eat slowly; eating too fast is bad for your stomach."

"Got it."

I nodded vigorously and started eating.

After dinner, I wanted to wash the dishes.

It's easier when we share the work.

But Gregory wouldn't let me lift a finger, "I'm here; you don't need to do these things."

I chuckled. "Aren't you afraid of spoiling me? If I get used to this, you'll have to do it all in the future."

"I'd be more than happy." He pinched my cheek, smiling. "It seems you're not spoiled yet; I need to try harder."

However, this time, he didn't let me sit still but picked me up.

"We just ate; let's move around on the balcony."

"Okay." I agreed, then suddenly realized something. "Gregory, have you noticed you've become quite the worrier?"

He wasn't like this when we were kids. That wasn't his nature.

I was taken aback, feeling a sharp pain in my heart.

Coming back to my senses, the man had already turned to tidy up the dishes in the kitchen.

Heeding his words, I went to the balcony.

The neon lights flickered outside, illuminating thousands of homes.

Turning back, I saw him bending

Without hesitation, I walked over and hugged his lean waist from behind!
