Goodbye, Mr. Regret

Chapter 270

Mr. Smith couldn't understand sign language and had no idea what Jessica was trying to say to Timothy.

All he could gather-from the tense lines of Jessica's face-was that the two of them seemed to be arguing.

Ines sat frozen, shock etched across her features.

Jessica wanted to divorce Timothy.

But her patience hadn't brought the peace she'd hoped for. If anything, it had only driven her closer to a breaking point.
