Lost Me Gained Regret

After finishing my soup, I noticed the time was still early, and Bella seemed like she had something on her mind, but hesitated to speak. I couldn't help but smile.

"Is there something you want to talk to me about or ask me?"

Truth be told, in the roles of being a daughter and a mother, both Bella and I were treading new ground.

It was inevitably a bit awkward and unfamiliar, but her desire to give me the best of everything was something I could deeply feel.

Bella's eyes were filled with love as she softly began, "It's nothing major, just thought since you'll eventually move in, why not pick a room while we have the time? That way, I can decorate your bedroom according to your preferences in advance."

A wave of emotion I had never felt before surged within me, and I replied with a smile, "No need to pick, I trust your choice."

"Really?"

Bella was worried I was just being polite. "You don't have to be formal with me, you're my only daughter..."

"There's no formality!" I interrupted, a bit exasperated, and snuggled closer into her arms, softly saying, "I just know that whatever you arrange for me will be the best. So, I can lazily rely on you."

Bella lightly raised an eyebrow, "Well then, how about I turn the study next to the master bedroom into your room? That way, we can be close, how does that sound?"

"Sounds great!" I quickly agreed, laughing, "Then I won't hold back in taking what's loved by someone else?"

It was probably because I knew the person in front of me was my birth mother, the one I had the deepest connection with in this world, so I was completely open and honest.

My quick agreement was simply because I wanted to be closer to her.

"Take what's loved? Everything I have is also yours."

Seeing that I wasn't acting distant, she gradually relaxed and switched back to more serious topics, "How about Gregory? Everything okay on that front?"

"Should be no problem."

"That's good to hear."
