Lost Me Gained Regret

Chapter 450

| stood frozen in place.

Ike wriggled out of his restraints and rushed back tolike a little cub, clutching my legs as tears streamed

down his face. “That's not true, Uncle, you're being so unfair!”

Hearing this, Gregory chuckled, his gaze steady on me. “Is that so?”

| guessed he had misunderstood something. The things he said were meant to test me. He was staring at me,

waiting forto provide a contradicting answer. This was probably the last chance he was giving me.

Slowly, | diverted my gaze, crouching down to hug the sobbing lke, wiping away his tears. “It's okay, Ike. Uncle

was wrong. Can you give your sister a little time? | need to explain something to your uncle, alright?”

The little munchkin blinked his teary long lashes, his voice soft and milky. “Okay...”

“Chris.” | dialed Christine’s number.

She answered with confusion, “What's up?”

“Can you cup to the fifth floor? Take lke to the birthday party, will you?”

“Sure.” Christine sensed something was off in my tone and agreed promptly, but she couldn't help asking with

concern, “What's going on?”

| pressed my lips together, “I'll explain tonight.”

Soon, Christine arrived to take lke away, leavingand Gregory alone, one standing outside, the other inside.

In a standoff. Annoyed at each other.

| glared at him, licking my dry lips. “Gregory, has anyone ever told you you're being

childish?”

He was generally a great guy. Just too sharp-tongued. Never knew how to speak kindly. As a kid, unless | was in

tears, it was rare to hear him say anything nice. But as a child, | was the same. Spoiled, willful. We were born the

same, but the experiences of the past twenty-plus years had changed me, forcedto evolve.and him, we

had becentirely different people,

Gregory tapped his cheek with his tongue, “Jane, you won't even givean explanation before you start

lecturing me?”

“Do | dare?” | smiled faintly, looking at him. “Is it about what happened two years ago?”

“Yes.”

“You looked into me?”

“Yes.”

“What did you find?”

“What do you think?”

At his counter-question, | fell silent. For the last two years, between searching for him, learning from Dave, and

battling depression, | can barely say | did anything else. Yet, he was upset.

My phone suddenly rang, displaying Mark’s name. Gregory's expression turned even colder, and | immediately

understood what he was upset about. Somehow gathering my courage, | stepped forward, disregarding his icy

demeanor, and stood right in front of

him.

and Mark...” Under his intense gaze, | grabbed his shirt collar, stood on my tiptoes, and kissed him. The man

was momentarily stunned! The next second, unable to hold back any longer, he wrapped his arms around my

waist, liftingslightly, responding with a stormy kiss. Bit by bit, kissinguntil I could barely breathe!

| lost my strength, wrapping my arms around his neck, stepping back, my eyes glistening with tears, my voice

soft yet firm, and Mark, we've never kissed like this.”

“Gregory, | think | know what you found out.” | leaned against his forehead, “I can explain. During those two

years abroad, | lived in a house that was Mark's; he did take good care of me, but it was just that, nothing

beyond friendship. Even when he occasionally cto France for business and checked in on me, we never

stayed under the sroof.”

After thinking it over, this was what he must have been upset about. | wasn’t sure at first, but seeing his reaction

to the caller ID, | was instantly sure.

Hearing this, Gregory pulledclose again, still deliberately stern, “What else, Jane? Say it all at once.”

| was taken aback, “What else did you find out?”

“What should | have found out?”

My eyes flickered uncertainly. | didn’t know the extent of his network, but since he found out even where | lived

was Mark's, he must know everything else...

Thugged him, hesitating to speak, “Gregory, it wasn’t serious... and it's cured now.”

This time, he was the one who froze.

“Cured?”

“Yes.” | nodded, “Mark introducedto a great psychologist, a very gentle woman who helpeda lot...”

“Psychologist?” He suddenly grasped my shoulders, creating sdistance between us,

Only then did I realize. “You... didn’t know about this?”
