Goodbye, Mr. Regret novel Chapter 562

Timothy’s gaze was sharp, almost piercing, as he looked deeply into Jessica’s eyes. “It’s because I’m afraid of losing her,” he admitted, voice low.

He had made too many mistakes.

Now, he was at a loss.

All he could do was fight desperately, even if it meant hurting himself in the process.

In the end, everyone lost.

Timothy looked away, then bowed solemnly to Zachary and Mrs. Zimmerman.

“I never meant to keep this from you forever. I just hoped that by taking a roundabout approach, I could find a way to make things right with her again, bring her home myself, and deliver her safely back to you. But I’ve made a mess of everything. I’m sorry…”

Everything about Timothy—his posture, his words—radiated sincerity.

He was trying to change, to let go of his stubborn control.

He hoped, just once, to be forgiven.

But Jessica was unmoved.

Her face remained calm, expressionless, unreadable.

Zachary and Mrs. Zimmerman looked at their daughter, searching her face, but said nothing to Timothy.

Mrs. Zimmerman stepped up beside Jessica. “We’re on the fourth floor. It won’t take long to walk down. Let’s take the stairs.”

The three of them turned and headed for the stairwell.

Timothy stayed where he was, defeated and drained.

A dull ache pressed against his chest.

He wondered if, every time he left her behind without a word—just walked away—she had felt exactly like he did now.

Funny, how people are. Until you taste someone else’s pain for yourself, it’s hard to truly understand what they go through.

He could finally see why Jessica was so determined to end their marriage.

Sheila’s arrival had been the spark.

Not only had it deepened the misunderstandings between them, but it had forced Jessica to see just how selfish he became when things got tough.
