Lost Me, Gained Regret (Jane and Bryant Ferguson) novel Chapter 583

Ramona chuckled softly, "Understood, sweetheart."

"As long as you know," I replied with a smile.

Then I turned to Gregory, "Let's head home. We should drop Chris off first."

To my surprise, Christine waved her hands dismissively, "Oh, don't bother about me. I've got nothing pressing. I'll stay here at the hospital with Ramona. Better that than having you, a pregnant lady, worrying all night long, unable to eat or sleep properly. Wouldn't want that affecting my goddaughter's growth now, would we?"

I couldn't help but laugh. "Is it really that serious?"

"If I say it is, then it is."

Christine ushered me out of the room, "It's getting late. Go home, take a nice shower, and get some good sleep. And remember to bring me my favorite lobster bisque for lunch tomorrow!"

"Alright, lobster bisque it is," I promised, touched by her thoughtfulness, "Thank you, Chris."

I knew her request for lunch was just her way of giving me some peace of mind.

Christine feigned annoyance, "What's with this formal thank you? Have you become all estranged now that you've got a man?"

I immediately denied, "Of course not!"

Raising an eyebrow, Christine teased, "Well, if that's the case, why don't you and your man make yourselves scarce?"

"Your wish is my command. Disappearing immediately!" I said, pulling Gregory with me as we left.

By the time we got back to Elmwood Villas, it was nearly ten o'clock.

After washing my hands, I grabbed my bathrobe and headed for the shower.

Just as I finished showering and turned off the water, the bathroom door suddenly swung open.

Startled, I quickly wrapped the bathrobe around myself, staring at Gregory in shock, "What are you doing? Get out!"

But instead of leaving, Gregory began unbuttoning his shirt, his gaze undressing me as if he could see right through the bathrobe.
