Lost Me Gained Regret

Chapter 852

"You two never really had a normal relationship from the start."

"So, Merritt, I'm speaking to you like a brother when I say this."

"Don't waste your time on Chris anymore. Spend these precious moments with your grandmother, focus on building your career, and eventually, you'll find your own happiness."

Merritt tried to muster a smile, but it was tinged with bitterness.

"Jane, I've taken your words to heart. You'd better go now; my brother-in-law's glare could cut me into pieces."

Jane added one last thought, "You used her, she used you—you're even now. Neither of you owes the other anything."

"I left some money under the pillow in the side room. Please thank Helena for the meal she cooked for us. Even though it was just one night, we were still an inconvenience."

"Merritt, live well."

Even as an overwhelming sense of bitterness and pain spread through Merritt, he smiled, showing his teeth.

"You too, Jane. And Chrissy, I wish you both happiness, peace, and health."

"Alright."

Merritt watched as a convoy of luxury cars drove away.

He opened his palm, looking at the small good-luck charm.

Christine had given it to him.

Suddenly, he clenched his fist around it but then relaxed with a resigned smile.
