Lost Me Gained Regret

Chapter 338

Just like Gregory had said, it was something subconscious, an inexplicable feeling from nowhere.

Seeing the sadness in his eyes, I found myself impulsively tiptoeing, reaching up to ruffle his hair.

Nooked back at him, offering a gentle smile. “If I were her, I wouldn’t blame you. And… I believe she wouldn’t either.”
