Lost Me Gained Regret



"

Christine seemed to possess a boundless fortune, waving her hand dismissively as she said, "Splurging on my baby girl? Please, it's not a waste." "And besides, your husband Greg isn't exactly short on cash."

As she slipped tiny sneakers onto the child's feet, she added, "Mr. Ford said he'd reimburse me anyway, so why not be happy about it?" Me: "..."

Everyone's just throwing money around like it's nothing.

"Ah, she's too cute for words!!"

Unable to resist, Christine planted a kiss on the baby, asking, "Have you decided on a name for her yet? You can't keep calling her 'baby' forever."

"When I visit friends, even their pets have nicknames. If we're not doing nicknames, we should at least settle on a proper name."

Naming? That, I could handle. Names are easy as long as they roll off the tongue.

But Greg? He wanted something unique.

Every day he's flipping through a dictionary, but it seems like he's getting nowhere fast.

"You pick the nickname; I can't make a call on the full name."

Initially, I thought, let's just stick with 'baby' until Greg comes up with a name.

I hadn't considered a nickname, thinking we'd just adapt one from her full name in due time.

But now, it seems like a good idea to choose one.

Christine was thrilled, "Really?"

"Can I really pick it?"

I smiled, "She's your goddaughter, of course, you can."

Suddenly serious, Christine even started researching online for names that would bring good fortune.

I couldn't help but laugh, "You know nicknames don't have to be that deep, right?"

"No, we have to consider this carefully."

Christine sighed, "It's not easy for us."

I looked down at my daughter blowing bubbles.

My heart melted.

After everything, she deserved a name that promised fortune.

"But the inte also says the name shouldn't be too complex. Simple names tend to bring easier lives." "Like 'Buddy.""

"

I facepalmed, "Are you serious?"

Christine quickly shook her head, "I'm just giving an example. Don't you dare tell Greg."

If Greg found out she wanted to nickname his princess 'Puppy,' he'd have her head.

"How about 'Daisy'? Sounds cute and easy to live with."

Before I could respond, she shot I down her own idea, "No, it sounds too plain, not fitting for our littleNôvelDrama.Org holds this content.

My mistake.

I thought Christine could come up with a name on the spot, but she's even more indecisive than Greg.

But seeing her take this more

Bella suddenly spoke up, "How about 'Mira'?"

"Mira, as in part of 'miracle', resilient and prosperous, also sounds like 'peace'."

Christine slapped her thigh, "Bella, you're a genius with names."

Bella pinched the baby's cheek, "Mira."

Mira giggled.

Christine raised an eyebrow, "Looks like the little one approves, and the meaning is perfect."

I liked it too. After calling her 'Mira' a few times, she smiled at me each time.

"What's all this excitement about?"

Greg walked in just as we were all laughing.

He approached, "What's got my little girl so happy?"

I explained the naming situation to Greg.

His smile faded, "Mira?"

Shoot.

I had forgotten about his painstaking efforts to name our daughter.

This was going to make him rack his brain even more.

I tugged at him, "It's just a nickname..."

He raised his hand to stop me, turning to grab the dictionary once more.

Bella found the situation amusing, commenting, "Naming a child s

I had to laugh too, but I understood.

"After all, she's our only daughter, and it's his first time being a dad."
