Lost Me, Gained Regret (Jane and Bryant Ferguson) novel Chapter 428

I was taken aback, "That fast? When did you get to Vista Town?"

"Just this afternoon."

Mark chuckled, "So, do you want to grab dinner out or eat at home? Need me to bring anything?"

"Hold on a sec."

I pulled the phone away a bit and asked Ike in a whisper, "Honey, do you want to eat at home tonight, or go out?"

"I wanna eat what Jane makes!"

Ike replied instinctively then seemed to reconsider as if a new thought struck him, and hastily added, "Um, actually, let's not. I don't feel like going out. Can we order takeout instead? I'll treat you, Jane!"

I brought the phone closer, smiling, "You don't need to bring anything, Mark. Just come over."

Mark agreed.

After hanging up, I pinched Ike's chubby cheeks, "I thought you wanted to eat what I made. What's with the change of heart?"

"Uncle warned me."

"Warned you about what?"

"Uncle said..." Ike mumbled, "Not to bother you too much. If I tire you out, he said he'd go and slay Spider-Man!"

"Slay Spider-Man?"

"Yup!" Ike nodded his little head, his eyes rolling around, "Jane, can you protect Spider-Man?"

These two, one's talking nonsense and the other's buying it. Aren't they afraid of leaving some psychological scars on the kid?

Seeing me silent, Ike laid his head on my lap, looking up, "Jane, is someone coming over? Who is it?"

"A friend."

"A friend??" Some radar in Ike went off, he suddenly perked up, asking, "What kind of friend, like my uncle, or like my dad?"

"What's the difference?"

"The difference between old and not old."
