Lost Me, Gained Regret (Jane and Bryant Ferguson) novel Chapter 616

Christine and I had just dropped off Ramona and Victor at the Myers Estate.

Victor was mentally unstable now but was incredibly attached to Ramona. He'd occasionally glance my way, flashing me an innocent smile, but hardly spoke a word.

Every now and then, he'd call me "daughter."

Seeing my mom, he'd cheerfully shout "wife," which only my mom's years of mastering her poker face prevented her from rolling her eyes in response.

Yet, he hadn't sought out Pearl and Dorothy, nor mentioned their names at all.

"Ah, Mrs. Ferguson, welcome back."

As we helped Ramona into the Ferguson Estate, we were greeted by someone who seemed slightly younger than her, but clearly a peer.

Looking after Ramona alone wouldn't be an issue.

But then there was Victor...

I suggested, "Ramona, how about I find someone else to help out? Share the load a bit."

The Myers Estate used to have plenty of staff, each with their specific duties.

Now, thanks to whatever mess Pearl had stirred up, not a single servant was in sight.

"I'll call Zoe over."

"No need," Ramona insisted. "It's just cooking. Don't worry about it."

But how could I not worry? "If you won't agree, then come back with me to Elmwood Villas."

Knowing I had her best interests at heart, she didn't argue. "Alright, then find someone."

"Will do."

"Okay, head back now. Come over again on the weekend. Don't fret during the week. Worrying, especially while pregnant, is the last thing you need. It's not just bad for the baby; it mainly affects you."

"We've agreed, any issues, you must tell me immediately. No secrets."

"Of course, of course."

With that, Christine and I left.

In the car, Christine seemed hesitant, shaking her head and sighing.
