Goodbye, Mr. Regret

Chapter 91

Jessica stepped out into the hallway and quickly dialed Sallie's number. As soon

as Sallie picked up, Jessica hung up.

She swiftly typed out a text message.

"Has Timothy picked you up yet?"

"Jessica, are you out of your mind? He's your own son shouldn't you be the one looking after him? Now you want me to do it for you?"
