Goodbye, Mr. Regret

Chapter 162

Chapter 154

Jessica froze for a moment. Was she really that transparent?

It wasn't until years later that she finally understood: if someone cares about you, no matter how well you hide your feelings, they'll still see right through you. But if they don't care, you could tear the truth open and hand it to them, and they still wouldn't believe it.

But it wouldn't be like this forever. Sooner or later, he'd find a way to free her from Timothy's grip.
