Goodbye, Mr. Regret

That night, during the Harvest Moon Festival, Jessica couldn't hide how much she minded what had happened between Timothy and Sheila.

Ever since Sheila returned to the States and started making waves, it was obvious—Jessica was jealous, plain and simple. She wanted to prove herself, to compete with Sheila head-on.

Timothy's anger over Jessica breaking his mother's keepsake had faded quite a bit. What a foolish girl, he thought. He'd even told Sheila before that Jessica had the marriage certificate-she was his legal wife. If having the marriage certificate couldn't give her a sense of security, then she really was being naive.

Women, he thought with a sigh, always get stuck on the smallest things. She had him; why bother fighting Sheila for his attention?
