Goodbye, Mr. Regret
Chapter 23
Chapter 23
The house needed a few new things, so Jessica spent the whole afternoon shopping, only returning home after dark.
She had just finished putting everything away when someone knocked at the door.
How odd.
Who would come looking for her at this hour?
Jessica went to open the door.
To her surprise, it was Herbert Wheeler.
They hadn't seen each other in years.
If it weren't for the tiny beauty mark between his brows, Jessica might not have recognized him.
Back when they were twelve or thirteen, Herbert's birth father had come to take him and his mother away to Aetherion.
Even then, they'd managed to stay in touch every now and then.
But seven years ago, after that terrible fire when Jessica lost her phone, she changed her number, and their contact faded to nothing.
Herbert leaned casually against the doorframe, his gaze warm and steady, a hint of amusement lifting his brow. "Little Mute, don't recognize me?"
Jessica's eyes trembled with surprise.
