Lost Me Gained Regret

Chapter 426

Edith, always straightforward, couldn’t help but express her concern, “These past couple of years must have been tough for you, huh?”

I was taken aback, “How did you know?”

“Just a guess.”

She offered a sympathetic smile, like a wise older sister. “Even though we haven’t spent much time together, I can tell you’re not the type to play the field.”

“That must have been tough.”

Edith sighed, a mix of admiration and pity in her tone, “It’s a shame Palmer Ford played dirty, almost capsized Greg’s ship. Well, he did capsize it, but Greg managed to right it again on his own.”

Hearing this, I couldn’t help but smile, “Yeah, he’s always been sharp.”
