Lost Me Gained Regret

Chapter 161

After hearing that question, my mind briefly wandered off into a daze. Aside from Christine, who once asked me a similar question, I realized I’d never asked myself that.

Would I? If another guy had saved me that day, and I had woken up to see a different face, would I have fallen for him instead? Or, if Bryant had never been there for me, could my feelings for him have reached so deep? What then? What was my love over the years?.

My thoughts were a mess, too frightened to continue down that path. I shook my head, “Bryant, I can’t give you an answer.”

Bryant, who’s normally so laid-back, was clearly trying to hold it together. His jaw clenched as he let out a big breath. “Okay.”

“Does the reason why I fell for you matter that much?” I couldn’t figure out why, but he looked somewhat disappointed.

At the brink of our relationship’s end, why bother chasing the reasons that started it all?

Avoiding my gaze, Bryant hastily snuffed his cigarette, changing the subject. “I’ll take care of the thing you asked for.”

“What?” I paused, and it clicked. “You mean about Margaret?”

He nodded. “Yeah.”
