Goodbye, Mr. Regret novel Chapter 126

"We've just arrived at the restaurant. Are you free to join us?"

Ines had been longing to see Jessica. She answered immediately, "Of course. Just send me the address."

"I'll text it to you right now."

Ines hung up, feeling a surge of relief.

Thank goodness.

Last time, she'd sent Jessica three or four long messages, only to get a single reply: *I'm sorry, Professor.*

After that, Ines hadn't pushed any further.

But she still hoped for a chance to talk to Jessica face to face.

Seven years of marriage, and their son was already six.

Jessica had married Timothy. With Timothy's financial standing, there was really no need for her to be a stay-at-home mom if she didn't want to be.

On her last visit to The Gilded Whisper Estates, Ines saw it for herself—staff everywhere, the house immaculate.

Jessica's past was still a mystery to Timothy.

Partly because Jessica herself kept it hidden.

Partly because Timothy didn't see the need for Jessica to work.

Ines believed there was still room for conversation.

With both of them present tonight, it was the perfect opportunity.

A few years ago, Ines might have tried to persuade Jessica from a career or financial perspective.

But now, as the wife of a wealthy man, with money and status no longer issues, those arguments meant little to Jessica.

Instead, Ines could appeal to her passions.

Jessica had once confided that her grandmother was her first mentor.

Before she passed away, her grandmother had asked Jessica to carry on her love for paper art.

Maybe, Ines thought, that was the way to reach her.

After all her travels in and out of the country, Ines still hadn't found another animator who could create work that instantly captivated her.
