Lost Me, Gained Regret (Jane and Bryant Ferguson) novel Chapter 518

I couldn't help but chuckle.

I wasn't sure what Gregory had said, but Edith suddenly snapped, "Who's drunk now? Fine, you'll come crawling back to me soon enough!"

With that, she abruptly ended the call, turning to me with a grin. "Jane, could you do your future aunt a favor?"

...She sure took to that role quickly.

I raised an eyebrow, "Future aunt? You really planning on remarrying Herbert just to move up a generation?"

"It's worth considering." Edith winked at me. "So, will you help me out?"

"With what?"

"Don't spill the beans about you and Bella to Gregory."

"Huh?"

"I've never seen Gregory lose his cool." Edith looked positively gleeful.

I laughed. "That's the favor?"

She nodded. "Yep. So, will you?"

"Sure." I readily agreed.

Edith was probably the closest to Gregory among the younger Fords, aside from Molly Ford. I wanted to get on her good side too.

Plus, at tomorrow's celebration party, my backstory was going to be revealed to everyone.

Even if I didn't say anything, Gregory would find out by tomorrow at the latest.

Edith pinched my cheek, looking at me with a fondness usually reserved for elders, "No wonder Gregory's fond of you. Ah, I like you too!"

I sighed in resignation.

As soon as Bella got into the SUV, Ivy took the seat beside her.

"So, Jane wasn't upset about your attitude last time, was she?"

"No."

Bella's eyelashes were still damp, her voice filled with relief and a hint of sorrow, "That kid, she doesn't hold grudges. Right when I came downstairs... she, she even called me “Mom”!"

Ivy shared in her happiness, "That's great, that's great! When are you planning on doing the DNA test?"
