Lost Me Gained Regret



I'm a bit rusty with the guitar, haven't played in ages.

"You're taking me?" I asked, puzzled yet intrigued.

Gregory gazed at me with such passion, "Of course."

I was still trying to wrap my head around it all, just going with the flow.

Somehow, Gregory suddenly stopped playing, and my mind wandered off, hitting a wrong note.

Before I could even utter an apology, fireworks suddenly erupted around the stage, lighting up the night sky.

Gregory knelt on one knee before me, lifting a ring, "Jane, even though you've proposed to me before, I still want to do this the right way."

"Some things are just meant for a man to do."

"Thank you for falling in love with me again, for being by my side through thick and thin, and for the hard work of bringing our daughter into this world."

"So, please, let me take care of you for the rest of our lives."

"Jane, will you marry me?"

Marriage was already a foregone conclusion.

I had planned to celebrate my birthday and our daughter's first birthday, then visit my grandmother to share the news of our wedding.

I never expected Gregory to plan a proposal.

Even though we were so familiar with each other, knowing we were meant to be together forever, his proposal still moved me to tears.

I was speechless, just extending my hand and nodding vigorously.

Gregory slipped the ring on my finger, stood up, and pulled me into his arms. His warm kiss sealed our promise.

Boom-

The fireworks exploded above us.

Cheers and applause followed.

Knowing I'm not fond of public displays of affection, Gregory kept the kiss simple, a gentle brush of lips.

He released me, our foreheads touching softly.

"We'll talk more tonight."

"

"Big sis!"

Ike ran up, showering me with petals, calling out, "Big sis, big sis."

His excitement made me want to laugh despite my confusion.

Gregory grabbed him by the collar, as if he had Ike's life in his hands, silencing him instantly.

"When did you start calling her 'big sis'?"

"Weren't you supposed to call her aunt?"

Trying to escape and failing, Ike looked to me for help.

I tapped Gregory's hand.This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.

He let go, and Ike hid behind me, clutching my legs and bravely said to Gregory, just decided to call big sis. I want to be part of her family. From now on, I'm your little brother-in-law. If you ever make my big sis unhappy, I'll come after you.'

Gregory raised an eyebrow, "Oh, you're going to take me on?"

He could easily hold this little spitfire back with one hand, yet here he was, boldly claiming he'd protect me.

"What's the matter? You think you

won't grow up and I won't get old? If you upset my big sis, when you're old and frail, I'll take her away to find some fun old man to enjoy life with!"

Gregory clicked his tongue, pressing his lips in a half-smile, half-frown "Looks like you're asking for trouble."

"Big sis, save me!"

Ike pleaded from behind me, "Big sis, take off the ring. We can't marry a bully."

Gregory couldn't help but laugh.

I was torn between laughter and tears, "Greg, stop teasing him. It's about time we sent the guests home." After seeing off our guests, only close friends and family remained.

Oh, and Nelly.

I had planned to invite everyone for dinner since they had all helped so much with today's celebration. Now, I wasn't sure how to bring it up.

"I'm tired," Gregory finally said, seeing everyone's exhaustion. "You all should head home and rest."

With that, he didn't leave room for anyone to argue, wrapping an arm around me and carrying Mira as we headed off.
