Lost Me Gained Regret

Chapter 345

Tears welled up in my eyes as a mixture of laughter and sobs escaped me. I quickly sent her my location, “So, what about your getaway? No more chasing the exotic romance?”

“Which is more important, a fleeting romance or you? I wouldn’t dream of letting you spend the holidays all by yourself.” She brushed it off with a giggle, “Besides, I’ve heard Vista Town is quite the spot for a romantic encounter.”

“There’s some truth to that.”
