Chapter 599 Hearing that, I couldn't help but let out a bitter chuckle. “Maybe it's because Victor's heart was never in the right place to begin with. How else could he be so easily swayed by Pearl's few sweet words to turn against his own mother and daughter?" Christine agreed. "True. But don't stress over it too much. Gregory won't let it slide.” "Let them have their moment of triumph. It'll only make their fall harder." Our conversation drifted as we chatted.

Right before bed, something suddenly struck Christine. “Oh, right. A couple of days ago, Clarence had a bit too much to drink and said he wanted to tella secret about Dailey. But then Dailey showed up out of the blue, sobered Clarence right up. I couldn't get anything out of him no matter how much I pressed. Could you ask your man for me? He's bound to know." "Sure." I agreed without hesitation.

Gregory and Dailey, along with Clarence, were thick as thieves since childhood. If Clarence knew something, asking Gregory was a sure bet.

I was just about to text Gregory when my phone lit up with a message from him.

[Get ssleep. No overthinking, goodnight] Unexpectedly, that madefeel a sudden rush of emotion.

Torn, I debated whether to reply.

Sending a message would let him know I was still awake, which would worry him.

But not sending one, yet I yearned to wish him a goodnight too.

Then another message popped up.

[Why are you still lurking? Speak up and then off to bed] I couldn't help but smile, typing back, [How did you know I wasn't asleep?] Gregory replied with a screenshot: [Typing...] Got it. I typed: [Goodnight, make sure you get srest too] Gregory: [Then how about a kiss for me?] Christine was right beside me, eyes glued to my phone.

Since I was already messaging Gregory, I couldn't not ask.

[Can I ask you something first?] [Shoot] [Is there a secret about Dailey?] After sending the message, I half-expected Gregory to hesitate about betraying a friend.

But his reply calmost instantly, [He's got an old flwho's likely coming back to the states soon] I wished I hadn't asked.

But Christine had already seen the message.

She forced a smile, "I'm off to bed, you two keep chatting." With that, she wrapped herself in her blanket, turning her back to me.

Feeling helpless, I texted back, [Why haven't you mentioned this before?] Gregory: [Didn't think Christine was serious about Dailey. Plus, his old flKas been gone for years and Dailey never seemed in touch hoped he'd move on.] [So why spill the beans now?] [You're wife, I've got no secrets from you. Besides, with that girl coming back, better you than Christine getting on.] I couldn't argue with that logic.

Gregory always thought things through more thoroughly than I did.

And when it cto matters of the heart, it's tricky to get too involved.

If Dailey truly had no feelings for Christine, letting her know now so she could cut her losses was for the best.

[Fair enough.] Gregory sent a voice message.

Glancing at Christine, I burrowed under the covers, turned the volturned down, and pressed play. His voice, deep and captivating, filled my ears.

I heard him chuckle, his tone relaxed as if he'd just finished swork.

"Honey, since I did good, how about that kiss?" The endearing lilt in his voice sent shivers down my spine.

Wrapped in the blanket, I was already feeling warm. Hearing his voice only turned up the heat. The content is on el novelenglish.net! [Stop callingthat, who's your honey!] He sent another voice message.

"Then, Jane, can Jane givea kiss?" Fiddling with my phone, it tooka while to muster the courage. I finally ed the voice key and gently the screen.

Gregory's response was a voice message, his voice soft yet slightly husky, like a feather tickling my heart, making it flutter. "Good girl."
