When Love Breaks by Jack

Chapter 677

The news that the property next door was purchased with plans to turn it into a playground had been the talk of the neighborhood, but that wasn’t what was preoccupying my mind. It was my mom’s decision to move out, giving me and Gregory some space.

I remembered leaving earlier today, noticing something off about my mom’s expression. I had been too rushed to dive deeper into it, and now, it felt even more awkward to bring up. Christine came to my rescue, “Having your own space is crucial, regardless of the relationship. It’s important.”

“And with the property next door now ours, I can swing by with the kids. If it gets late, I can just crash there, catch up with Bella on the latest gossip, living the dream.”

My mom chuckled, “You can’t survive on gossip alone, I don’t know why you’re so fond of it.”

Christine raised an eyebrow, “It’s the perfect side dish.”

My mom, with a loving shake of her head, replied, “Alright, I’ll serve you two more dishes of gossip tonight to satisfy your appetite.”

Christine, linking her arm with mine, whispered reassuringly, “Don’t take this too much to heart.”
