Lost Me, Gained Regret (Jane and Bryant Ferguson) novel Chapter 297

"Sure." I happily agreed.

Ramona glanced toward Gregory. "Greg, why don't you head to the dining room for breakfast? And grab a bite for Ms. Webster, will you?"

"Got it." Gregory shot us a dubious look but headed toward the dining room without making a big deal about it.

As I thought Ramona would lead me to her dressing room, her warm hand suddenly grasped mine. "Here, have a seat."

"Okay." I was pleasantly surprised and sat down, my hands resting awkwardly in my lap.

I couldn't recall ever meeting my grandparents. Whether they didn't care for me or, for some other reason, I didn’t remember a thing.

A look of longing appeared on Ramona's aged face as she gripped my hand tighter. "You know, after seeing you yesterday, I dreamt of my granddaughter, Lily. That girl, she was fussing about wanting to play with you. She seemed quite fond of you." Ramona smiled gently. "I woke up in the middle of the night, wondering if it was her way of telling me to look after you a bit."

Her words moved me, and I softly said, "Maybe it's just because you had her on your mind, Ramona."

"How would you feel about getting close to me like Greg does?" Ramona asked tentatively.

Initially, I had planned to keep my distance from the Myers family, but faced with Ramona's hopeful gaze, I found myself unable to refuse.

Thankfully, I spent most of my days in RiverCity, so I wouldn't have to interact with Ramona too often. Finally, I obediently agreed, "Okay, Ramona."

"Oh!" Ramona responded joyfully and suddenly inquired, "Heard you mentioning yesterday that you've taken over your parents' clothing brand?"
