Chapter 347 

My heart suddenly felt a pang, as if unexpectedly pricked by something sharp. 

I pointed towards the deal with a cold voice. “Get out 

Mane, where did you get this attitude? Can’t we have a proper conversation? 

Were you trying to have a prope! conversation?” 

I glared at him defiantly. What right do you have to criticize me? What about your fiancée? Shouldn’t you be with her instead of bothering me?* 

Even drunk, your sharp tongue doesn’t dull, does it?* 

He tapped his chin thoughtfully, then chuckled lowly, as if resigning to his fate, and squatted down in front of me, his tone softening. 

“Alright, I admit I was too hasty and didn’t talk nicely. I’ll accept the punishment.” 

I asked subconsciously. “What punishment?” 

He raised an eyebrow, playfully suggesting, “Another kiss from you?“ 

Only then did I notice his ears were flushed red. 

Shaking my head, trying to sober up and not let the alcohol cloud my judgment, I looked at him, “Why are you here?” 

“To give you an explanation.” 

I frowned, asking, “Didn’t we already clear things up last night?” 

“You were the only one who thought things were cleared up.” 

Gregory poured me a glass of water and after sending a message on his phone, continued, “I’ve returned her to the Myers family. Jane, even before I said I’d stop waiting for her last night, I had already made up my mind. Call it falling out of love or being a jerk, but I have genuinely fallen for you. I’m not someone who can love two people at the same time. Since I’ve opened up to you, I won’t keep things tangled with someone else.” 

I clenched my hands. “What about Lilliana?I asked him. 

“Let’s first confirm if she really is Lily.” 

Gregory’s expression darkened slightly, “All signs point to her, but Ramona and I believe she’s not. We’re getting a DNA test done. 

1 pursed my lips. “And if she is?” 

“Before coming to you, I had discussed calling off the engagement with Ramona.” 

He brushed my messy bangs behind my ear, his brown eyes locking on me, “Regardless of the result, I will call it off. Jane, can you trust me this time, hmm?” 

His tone was his usual casual self. 

In the silent room, an inexplicable tension spread. 

I quickly avoided his gaze, “Let’s talk about this later.” 

That person, too, had many times asked for my trust. 

He never married Margaret either. 

And yet, here we were. 

I doubted I could surpass the cherished memory in someone’s heart. 

Now, it was just him having spent more time with me, a fleeting passion clouding his judgment. Once Lilliana started spending more time with him, those childhood promises and fluttering feelings would resurface. 

I would just be asking for heartbreak, as Christine said. 

Ding dong! 

The doorbell suddenly rang. Thinking it was Christine, I went to open the door, but Gregory stopped me, I’ll get it.” 

He walked to the door, exchanged a few words of thanks with someone outside, and returned with a box. 

He slightly lifted his chin, “Go take a shower.” 

I glanced at the thing in his hands, not sure what it was, my mind racing as I clutched my collar tightly

“I said we’ll talk later! And, even though I’m divorced, Gregory, I can’t just slee
