Lost Me, Gained Regret (Jane and Bryant Ferguson) novel Chapter 88

"Don't embarrass yourself!"

"Huh?"

When Steven opened his eyes, he was startled. "Jane? What are you doing here? Uh..."

Then, scratching his head awkwardly, "Well, you're here too."

"Yeah, just came to hang out with Christine. Make yourself at home." I teased, pointing at the shoe rack.

Judging by his reaction, this wasn't his first time here. No need for me to fetch him slippers.

Turning back, I shot Christine an inquisitive look.

Christine just shrugged. "It's not what you think. Still flying solo here."

"Jane, just wait for the good news from me!"

Steven had bounced back from his awkwardness, slipping into some slippers, all grins and banter.

Christine rolled her eyes. "Get lost. Why are you even here?"

"You said you were feeling under the weather. Came to check on you."

"Who visits the sick without bringing anything?"

"Well, you caught me off guard. I rushed over. Hold on, I'll order something right now."

...

Sensing it was my cue to leave, I grabbed my sketchpad and settled by the bedroom window, immersing myself back into work.

It was the time when kids were let out from school, and their laughter and play from the street below were distracting.

I couldn't help but wonder about my future kid.

If I had a boy, I'd want him to look like Bryant, with his one-in-a-million handsome face and long legs. But definitely not his personality. But his personality? Absolutely not. No deception, moodiness, or wishy-washiness.

And if it was a girl, let her be like me, but with more love to keep her forever basking in the sunshine.
