Goodbye, Mr. Regret novel Chapter 366

After a long, heavy silence, Timothy finally made up his mind to leave.

The way things stood, Jessica simply had no intention of speaking to him.

He’d known it, really.

The real reason for coming today was to get a strand of Jessica’s hair for a DNA test with Vince.

But once he saw her, he couldn’t help but try to talk things through.

Now that he’d gotten what he came for, the divorce…

Well, that could wait.

He’d wait for her to be ready in ten days, just like she’d said.

After Timothy left, Vince messaged Jessica.

Come home. He’s gone.

When Jessica got back, Vince was waiting in the living room.

“Sorry,” he said, sounding a little sheepish. “He kept pressing me about where you were. I tried to throw him off, but I guess something got into him and he just showed up anyway.”

Jessica didn’t blame Vince at all.

They were friends, and he’d been the one to help her leave in the first place. It was only natural that Timothy would track Vince down to try to find her.

Vince must have felt caught in the middle. There was nothing he could do.

“But don’t worry,” Vince reassured her. “He promised me he won’t bother you again for a while.”

Vince worried she might pack up and move again.

But honestly, moving wouldn’t do much good. If Timothy wanted to find her, he’d always find a way.

The best thing she could hope for was that he’d eventually let go.

Jessica didn’t know what else to say to Vince except thank you.

With that handled, she turned her attention back to her script.

By the end of the afternoon, she’d finally finished reading it.

She logged into her chat app on her laptop and reached out to Mr. Smith, sharing her thoughts on the script.

Though Jessica hadn’t worked a regular job over the past seven years, she’d funded Carlisle’s creative team and was the main investor in their animated film. She and Carlisle had even co-written the script.

In her free time, she used to make up stories for Henry—her son—and turned them into short animations, just a minute or five each.

She hadn’t posted anything new in a long while, but her fans often messaged her, begging for updates. She realized she shouldn’t give up on her account—it deserved to stay alive.

With that experience, she hadn’t been entirely cut off from the working world.

At first, she’d been afraid to step out again; with so little time left, she hadn’t had the courage to face the world.

The hardest thing about being a stay-at-home mom was how it left you out of touch with society. When you finally tried to come back, the changes in the workplace could make anyone feel inadequate.
