Goodbye, Mr. Regret novel Chapter 369

He was searching for a reason to refuse.

“If you hadn’t said it so directly, maybe you’d have your guard up. But since you did, there’s really nothing left to hide. It’s been seven years—it’s time she met her grandparents. Can you help smooth things over?”

Of everyone around him, only Vince could talk to Jessica.

As for Vince—what reason was there to keep him at arm’s length? Maybe he was his brother-in-law. However Vince treated Jessica, he didn’t mind at all.

“It’s a tall order. And honestly, you should keep your guard up with me. If you trust me this much, I’m afraid I’ll feel too guilty stealing your thunder.”

In short, he was going to decline. No need for Jessica to get the wrong idea and think he was playing mediator between husband and wife.

“Still looking for your little sister? I might have a lead. The odds are decent.”

Timothy decided to play his trump card.

Vince replied right away, “It won’t be easy, but I’ll give it a shot. If it doesn’t work out, don’t blame me.”

“I trust you.”

“Give me a hint.”

Vince knew Timothy well enough—if there wasn’t a good chance, Timothy wouldn’t bring it up so casually.

“I don’t want to get your hopes up. Let me confirm it first, then I’ll fill you in.”

Vince didn’t press further. Even if he found out now, he’d still have to wait for the outcome.

Since Timothy was already on the case, he’d leave it to him. A few days at most, and they’d have an answer.

After hanging up, Vince still had no idea how to break the news to Jessica.

Timothy really knew how to put him to work.

Still, there was nothing for it—Vince grabbed his coat and headed out.
