Chapter 1292 The Wedding Ring Was Missing
Shaking his head helplessly, Brandon said, "Your call was hard to miss. Only someone as drunk as Garrett wouldn't have seen it."
Since her trick was exposed, Janet stuck out her tongue in embarrassment and asked Laney over the phone, "You heard everything Garrett said. Tell me, what do you think?"
"I..." Laney didn't know what to say. "I don't know..." she murmured.
With a heavy sigh, Janet said, "A drunk mind speaks a sober heart. You should be able to see that he has repented. Can't you give him another chance?"
Even Laney couldn't deny that she was indeed deeply moved by what Garrett said.
Besides, she had also been thinking of him and sometimes, she would wonder if he had fallen in love with someone else while they were separated. Now, after hearing his confession, her heart was swayed once again.
The love she had been concealing in her heart made it impossible for her to deny that she could not forget about Garrett.
"I need time to think," Laney said.
Noticing a hint of wavering in her words, Janet and Brandon were relieved. "So you sent the divorce papers and the ring to Garrett to make him realize his true feelings?" Janet teased.
"What divorce papers? I didn't send him anything of the sort. All I did was take off my ring and stop wearing it. I was wondering why he was reacting so strangely!" Laney exclaimed.
With her eyes wide open in surprise, Janet asked, "What's going on then? Garrett said he received the divorce papers and the wedding ring you sent him. He thought you really wanted to separate
from him for good, and that's why he was so upset today."
Laney suddenly thought of something and went to see if her ring was still there, and was shocked to find that it was missing.
Frowning deeply, she said, "I don't know what's going on, but I will find out who sent those things to him in my name."
Concerned, Janet said, "You have to be careful. Since that person managed to steal your wedding ring without you even noticing it, they have to be dangerous. Who knows what they might do to you." Laney agreed in a serious tone, "Don't worry, I'll be careful. As for Garrett..."
After a moment's hesitation, she softened her voice and continued, "Let him say the same things to me when he is sober. Right now, I don't trust a drunk man's words." Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
Janet couldn't help but laugh. "As long as you two love birds can work it out, nothing else matters. Alright, I won't disturb you any longer. We need to help Garrett get home. He's passed out drunk."
"Okay, be careful," Laney said, slightly worried about Garrett. She then added a few more instructions before hanging up.
Janet and Brandon lost their appetite after the call, so they helped Garrett go home.
On their way, Garrett kept yelling, "Laney, I love you!" He would then burst into tears and cry out, "I don't want a divorce!" His behavior was so exasperating to Brandon that he even considered dropping him off on the side of the road.
Even Janet, who was usually very patient, was drained from Garrett's behavior.
After finally reaching Garrett's home, Brandon was
about to escort him to the master bedroom when the servant suddenly stopped him and said, "Let me help Mr. Harding. He has been sleeping in the nursery for a while now."
"The nursery?"
Taken by surprise, Janet asked, "Why?"
Supporting Garrett, the servant explained, "Well, ever since Mrs. Harding and their daughter left, Mr. Harding has been sleeping in the nursery. He suffers from insomnia if he tries to sleep elsewhere."
Brandon furrowed his brows slightly and asked, "Insomnia? Is it serious?"
With a firm nod, the servant answered, "Yes, and his condition has been getting worse. He has even started to find it difficult to fall asleep in the nursery now. He's been relying on sleeping pills, yet he can only sleep for a few hours at night."
