Lost Me Gained Regret Read Online Novel

Jane glanced over at Christine with a knowing smirk. "Guess you're not the only one with a play to make," she texted, a hint of mischief in her words. Christine's reply came quick, charged with her typical fiery spirit. "She's just a bit too late to the game. Right now, I'm all about soaking up this vacation vibe."

It was clear to Jane that Christine hadn't fully let go of Dailey. If she had, she wouldn't be putting on this elaborate show with Merritt. Christine was never one to hold back; if she wanted something, she'd have it. No games, no waiting. "Jane," her mom called out, breaking her train of thought. "Your father and I are going for a stroll with Mira. You kids enjoy your dinner."

"Sure, Mom," Jane replied, watching her parents and Mira leave.

Christine didn't miss a beat, signaling Merritt with a playful wave. "Let's bounce."

Merritt, ever the eager companion, was by her side in an instant, his loyalty as evident as a faithful pup's.

Despite Merritt's commendable qualities, timing hadn't been on his side. He was a great catch, just not for Christine, not now.

As Dailey excused himself, Nelly hurried after him, proposing they catch the fireworks display together.

Left with Gregory, Jane finished her drink and, with a playful tilt of her head, asked, "Care to join me for a moonlit cruise, Mr. Ford?"

Gregory's response was a mix of amusement and intrigue as he rose, his arm finding its way around her. "Trying to woo me?" he teased. Those who knew Gregory only as a formidable figure would be taken aback by this lighter, almost boyish side of him.

On the cruise, Jane leaned against the railing lost in the beauty of the night. Gregory wrapped his arms around her from behind, a gesture so familiar yet always thrilling.

She turned to peck him on the chin. "Feeling better now, hon?"

His reply was a kiss, deep and affirming. "Jane, I love you," he said, each word heavy with meaning.

This was a side of Gregory she cherished a side not everyone got to see. It was in these moments that their bond felt unbreakable.

"I love you too. And I'm grateful for your relentless love, my incredibly handsome and amazing husband," Jane replied, her words echoing the depth of their connection.

As they stood there, the distant fireworks painting the sky, it was as though time stood still. This was their forever, a testament to a love that only grew stronger with each passing moment.
