Lost Me Gained Regret

Chapter 424

Little Ike looked to be around three or four years old, dressed in trendy clothes, and with a face so adorably sculpted it could melt hearts. He looked up at me with those big, innocent eyes, and I couldn’t help but feel a tug at my heartstrings.

I was slightly puzzled and gently patted his tiny head, “Auntie?”

“Yes, Auntie! My name’s Ike Taylor. You can just call me Ike!”

The little guy introduced himself with a soft, youthful voice, looking every bit the picture of sweetness.

I couldn’t help but chuckle softly, squatting down to his level and saying gently, “Alright, Ike, but…”

I paused, turning to Gregory, “Ike is your nephew?”

“Edith’s son.”

Gregory lazily lifted his gaze, speaking in an indifferent tone, “She’s off to Europe for a trip tonight. Ike has school, so I’m stuck looking after him for a while.”

“Really?” I glanced at his legs, questioning, “Are you sure… you can handle a kid?”

Ike then hugged my neck, peppering my face with kisses, his voice muffled, “Auntie, you can play with me!”

I must admit, I was completely won over by his charm, but still, I turned to Gregory, asking again, “Auntie?”

Gregory seemed unfazed, “Kids, they like to say whatever.”

I held Ike’s tiny shoulders, correcting him, “Ike, can you call me ‘Jane‘? Auntie is not something you can just call someone.”

He tilted his head, confused, “Why?”

“Well…”

I pondered how to explain this in the simplest terms, “Auntie is like your uncle’s future wife. Your uncle and I are just…”
