Lost Me Gained Regret

Chapter 254

Bryant’s eyes, fixed on me unblinkingly, tumultuous with emotions he couldn’t seem to dissolve. The indifferent demeanor he usually carried seemed to be faltering. The air grew thick and tight.

After what felt like an etemity, he finally rose slowly, meticulously folding a throw blanket before grabbing his coat from the armchair and draping it over his arm, his voice low, “Sorry for the intrusion last night. I should head out.”

I was fiddling with my fingers unconsciously before asking again, “The divorce papers?*

“We’ll talk about it later” Bryant avoided my gaze, his long lashes slightly lowered, masking his feelings. “You heard Kevin call. I need to rush back for a meeting.”

With those words, he didn’t give me a chance to respond, striding away with his long legs as if afraid I’d say something to make him stay.
