Lost Me, Gained Regret (Jane and Bryant Ferguson) novel Chapter 879

After spending some time at the filming location, the group returned to their hotel.

Christine suddenly remembered something.

"Her husband is so rich, and she is too, yet she only gave me a 1% discount!" she exclaimed.

Bella chuckled. "I didn't get any discount at all. If she gave you one, you two must really get along."

"When she was young, she was raised by her grandfather at the Hawthornes' estate. But the Hawthornes is a big family, full of internal squabbles. Later, she married Quentin, but he's often away, so she doesn’t have much support."

"If she hadn't become famous early on, she'd probably have struggled financially. It's understandable that she's tight with money."

Christine tucked her hands into her pockets. "We hit it off right away, probably because we've been through similar experiences."

Jane gave Christine a comforting hug. "It's all in the past now."

"Yeah, it's all in the past."

After spending five days enjoying St. Petersburg, the group returned to Vista Town.

A week later, it was time for Dailey's birthday party.

Gregory was planning to attend.

This birthday was a significant event for Dailey.

Jane, being his wife, was to accompany him.

"Isn't Christine coming along for some fun?" Gregory teased.

Jane gave him a sideways glance. "You just want to stir things up."

Gregory played with her hand. "The Carters will be there too."

"The Carters?"

"They're the next family the Clarksons are considering for an alliance."

Jane furrowed her brow. "I wasn’t born into the Clarkson family, so I can't say much, but is it really okay to force things like this?"

Gregory replied, "This is already considered late. As soon as Dailey returned from his training at eighteen, they started scouting."

Not only was Dailey decently good-looking and tall, but his family background was also enough to attract attention.

Unlike Gregory, who was known for his sharp tongue and ruthless methods, Dailey always had girls around him. But none were as direct as Christine.

Even if a well-bred young lady liked someone, she'd hold back a little. She’d hint first and only make her move once she was sure the other party was interested.

Gregory believed it was only natural for Dailey to like Christine, and that they'd be entangled for life.

"Greg’s here," Jane noted as she spotted Gregory.

Jayne, holding a glass of wine, came over. "Jane, you look thinner. Don’t diet too much. Eat more."

Jane smiled politely. "Thank you for your concern, Godmother. I just can't seem to gain weight."

Gregory sighed dramatically. "You have no idea, Godmother. I wish she’d gain a bit more weight. Now when I hold her..."

Jane quickly covered Gregory’s mouth.

Jayne, understanding them from her own experience, knew what he meant. Seeing them happy, she secretly wished for Dailey’s happiness too.
