When Love Breaks by Jack

Chapter 447

Edith quickly changed the topic to avoid his guess, “Do you remember what day it is tomorrow?”

“What day?”

“Your own birthday, you goof!” Edith was exasperated. “It’s the perfect day to invite Jane out and introduce her to your childhood buddies.”

“Oh.” Gregory was indifferent. “I forgot. We’ll see.”

“What do you mean we’ll see?”

With a grand gesture, Edith declared, “I’ve got the place booked, and I’ll handle the invites. You better muster up some liquid courage and sweep her off her feet.”

After ending the call, the cleaning lady had just finished up and was leaving.

Gregory, fighting through the pain in his legs, slowly made his way to the bathroom and picked up the bathrobe Jane had worn.

After ensuring it was dry, he folded it neatly and placed it on the bedside table, right next to an ugly, but sentimentally valuable, bunny piggy bank.

It was a piggy bank from twenty years ago, handmade by her.

And now, another one, twenty years later, also handmade by her.

Fiddling with the piggy bank, an idea crossed Gregory’s mind, leading him to make a call, “Ophelia, I need you to check something for me.”

“What do

you need?”

“Check if Jane has any travel records from two years ago.”

“Jane…? But I thought you two had…”

“Ophelia, that’s none of your concern.”

“My apologies, I overstepped. When do you need it?”

“As soon as possible.”
