Lost Me, Gained Regret (Jane and Bryant Ferguson) novel Chapter 337

As she was chatting with Gregory, I hung up the pieces of clothing I had designed for her, meticulously ironing them out.

“Jane!” Ramona feigned discontent, pulling me down onto the couch with a huff, “The servants can handle that, dear. Why don’t you sit down, have some coffee with me, and we can chat? Must you always do everything yourself?”

I couldn’t help but laugh. “It’s really no bother at all.”

“You, young lady.”

She held my hand, turning to Gregory, “So, you were saying you’re roping Jane into playing pretend in front of your parents?”

Gregory and her were close, no secrets between them, “Yes.”

She looked at me with concern, “He’s not pressuring you, is he?”

“Ramona, what do you take me for?” Gregory couldn’t help but laugh.

I smiled too, “No, I actually need his help with something as well.”

Ramona didn’t pry into what that was, but was unhappy about something else.

“I'm scared that Lilliana might not come back.”

She held back tears, looking at Gregory with the authority only an elder could, “Whether you and Jane are serious or just playing around, I'm totally cool with it. Just one thing, even if it’s an act, there’s no reason to have her stay over at the Ford Residence on the first visit.”

“She can stay with me. Make sure she’s back by ten every night.”

“Ramona…” I felt a warmth in my heart.

The old lady patted my hand, looking earnestly at me, “It’s tough being a young woman on your own. I’m here to support you, no matter what. Would you like that?”

Not just me, but even Gregory seemed taken aback by her words.

His expression suddenly turned cold for a moment.
