Lost Me, Gained Regret (Jane and Bryant Ferguson) novel Chapter 352

"Cough..."

Christine eyed me, not wanting to stir up trouble on my behalf, and had kept quiet until now.

But with that remark from Gregory, she couldn't help it and ended up choking on her own saliva.

Susan could be sharp-tongued towards me.

But with Gregory, she was like a cat that got her tongue - especially with Adah around, she couldn't play the elder card and was visibly holding back her anger.

"You little rascal!"

Even Adah, who usually indulged Gregory, had to maintain some semblance of authority and glared at him, "Who taught you to speak like that?"

"Grandma, you did."

Gregory shrugged it off, "Standing up for what's right."

Adah glared at him, rendered speechless.

Anyone present could tell Susan was picking a fight, her words laced with unnecessary venom.

Just as the subject was about to be dropped, shy and quiet Lilliana, with all her innocence, chimed in softly.

"But Greg, my mom isn't wrong. Girls should respect themselves, be faithful..."

...

Christine instantly got heated, but her tone remained calm, "Ms. Myers, relationship or marital failures aren't something to nail someone to the wall of shame for. Just because you stayed dry doesn't mean you have the right to ruin someone else's shelter."

"Lilliana!"

Ramona frowned as well, "Who fed you that line? If you ever find yourself unhappy in marriage, I would be the first to bring you back home, understand? Divorce has nothing to do with one's purity or self-respect. Don't just listen to nonsense."

"Mom!"

Susan couldn't stand it anymore, "You're blatantly favoring her, what Lilliana said isn't wrong..."

"Not wrong?"

Ramona questioned calmly, then dropped a bombshell, "Have you forgotten the circumstances under which you entered the Myers family?"
