Christine abruptly ended the call, deeming the conversation too mature for younger ears.
She wandered into the kitchen, curiosity piqued. "What's cooking?"
...
At Elmwood Villas.
Jane leaned into the man beside her. "What's the deal with Dailey?"
Gregory spilled the beans, honest to the core.
Jane frowned slightly. "His heart might be in the right place, but the approach... Christine's always been easy-going, not one to fuss, but I think Dailey's going about it all wrong."
"It doesn't matter."
Gregory captured her hand, pressing a kiss to it. "Worry about me, will you?"
...
Merritt had prepared a feast of four dishes and a soup, all favorites of Christine's.
Christine couldn't wait to dig in, grabbing a rib and giving it a taste. Thumbs up. "Delicious."
Merritt ladled some soup for her.
Tasting it, Christine was impressed. "When did you learn to cook like this?"
The culinary skills were genuinely impressive.
Merritt nodded. "Worked in a diner for a bit."
Considering his family's situation, Christine proposed, "How about I hire you as a cook? I'll provide the ingredients, and we'll settle on a fair wage for your labor."
Merritt looked down, a bit dejected. "Pitying me?"
"Why would I pity you?"
Christine enjoyed a meatball in tomato sauce, "You should be compensated for your work. That's the value of labor."
Merritt smiled, a bit shy. "Sis, I should be doing this for you. I mean, you said I'm your boyfriend, right?"
Oh, Christine had almost forgotten about that.
"I'm using you, you see that, right?"
Comments
The readers' comments on the novel: Lost Me, Gained Regret (Jane and Bryant Ferguson)
This story is useless now. there is no essence. Jane is a whore, at least Bryant never sleep around. There was a misunderstanding between him and his step sister but he never slept with anyone. Bryant should just find a good woman by his side. Jane and Gregory will have a baby. Jane found her biological mother. So what else to be expect in this story?...
Who is the ML ? Hope its Greg.. but I kinda feel pity for Bryant too now.....
