Chapter 240 I suddenly felt like a deer in headlights when caught in the spotlight with that question. After all, Dorothy wasn't wrong. It was her birthday bash. She had every right to decide who got an invite.

Before I could utter a word, Gregory casually glanced her way and improvised, 'It was me. I practically begged her to cwith me, and you want to kick her out already?" With a few words, he dissolved my awkwardness.

Dorothy pouted, displeased. "Since when are you two so chummy.

Gregory's gaze hardened. "Do I need to report every friendship to you?" Dorothy added. "Didn't you know Bryant would be here? Are you trying to embarrassby inviting her?" "Enough!" A middle-aged woman interrupted with a gentle smile, "You two have always been at each other's throats since you were kids Haven't you had enough?" Her tone and expression were soothing She tumed to Dorothy. "You're all grown up, dreaming of marrying Bryant, and still acting childish?" At that moment, my eyes accidentally met Bryant's dark gaze. I had thought I might feel sad or something. But there was nothing.

It hitcalmly, like, right, so that was why. The reason Bryant was with them was this.

Dorothy affectionately wrapped her arm around the woman's, whining. "Mom!" So, the middle-aged couple were her parents.

Mrs. Myers gavea once-over and looked at Gregory as if addressing a younger family member. "And who might this young lady be?" "Jane, a friend. Weren't you and Richard urgingto get married? Can you have a look for me?" Gregory said with a devil-may-care attitude, pretending we were on the verge of marriage.

"Are you just pulling this poor girl into your act to fooland Susan?" Richard laughed, pointing at Gregory in mock frustration.

Susan also said with heartfelt concem, "Greg, you've insisted on waiting for Lily to return. It's been years. Don't delay any longer. Your parents will start bothering us. It's tto let go." "Let go?" A laugh tinged with ambiguity escaped Gregory, "How can someone just vanish into thin air? At least we should see her, alive. or dead" Mark's words were indeed true Dorothy's expression darkened upon hearing them mention that, but she quickly masked it when others looked her way.

Susan sighed, her eyes brimming with unshed tears. "Why do you insist, dear? Richard and I are almost ready to give up..." My heart felt a tug, empathizing with the unseen Ms. Myers.

Richard put an arm around her, comforting her, "Come, no tears. Today's Dorothy's day."

"Richard." Gregory spoke casually, "You do remember, today's also Lily's birthday right?"

Both Richard and Susan stiffened, Susan quickly bowing her head to hide her tears, while Dorothy looked as if she'd been greatly wronged.

I was surprised that Gregory would stand up for his missing fiancée at such a moment hitting where it hurt mest. But that was his style. Fearless. Richard exasperated, scolded, "Greg! Must you upset Susan and Dorothy?" "They have you to care for them. I wonder if Lily were here, would she be happy?" Chapter 241
