Lost Me, Gained Regret (Jane and Bryant Ferguson) novel Chapter 662

Christine seemed to possess a boundless fortune, waving her hand dismissively as she said, "Splurging on my baby girl? Please, it's not a waste."

"And besides, your husband Greg isn't exactly short on cash."

As she slipped tiny sneakers onto the child's feet, she added, "Mr. Ford said he'd reimburse me anyway, so why not be happy about it?"

Me: "…"

Everyone's just throwing money around like it's nothing.

"Ah, she's too cute for words!!"

Unable to resist, Christine planted a kiss on the baby, asking, "Have you decided on a name for her yet? You can't keep calling her 'baby' forever."

"When I visit friends, even their pets have nicknames. If we're not doing nicknames, we should at least settle on a proper name."

Naming? That, I could handle. Names are easy as long as they roll off the tongue.

But Greg? He wanted something unique.

Every day he's flipping through a dictionary, but it seems like he's getting nowhere fast.

"You pick the nickname; I can't make a call on the full name."

Initially, I thought, let's just stick with 'baby' until Greg comes up with a name.

I hadn't considered a nickname, thinking we'd just adapt one from her full name in due time.

But now, it seems like a good idea to choose one.

Christine was thrilled, "Really?"

"Can I really pick it?"

I smiled, "She's your goddaughter, of course, you can."

Suddenly serious, Christine even started researching online for names that would bring good fortune.

I couldn't help but laugh, "You know nicknames don't have to be that deep, right?"

"No, we have to consider this carefully."

Christine sighed, "It's not easy for us."

I looked down at my daughter blowing bubbles.

My heart melted.

After everything, she deserved a name that promised fortune.

"But the internet also says the name shouldn't be too complex. Simple names tend to bring easier lives."

"Like 'Buddy.'"

"…"

I facepalmed, "Are you serious?"
