Goodbye, Mr. Regret

Chapter 19

Chapter 19

Timothy had decided to marry her, and every single member of the Lawson family was against it.

In the end, it was Phelps who made the final call, silencing the rest of the family.

Jessica lowered her gaze, lashes casting shadows on her cheeks.

Her silence seemed to grate on Phelps, who slammed his cane against the floor in frustration.
