Ex-husband’s Regret

Jane seemed to have endless wealth, waving her hand, "How is it a waste of money when you spend it on your daughter? Besides, Frank doesn't lack money."

She put little shoes on the baby and added, "Mr. Smith said he'd reimburse me for everything, so it's fine."

I thought to myself, 'Everyone here is quite extravagant.

"Aw... so cute!"

Jane couldn't help but kiss the baby and asked, "Have you chosen a formal name yet? You can't just keep calling her 'baby.""

"When I visit others, they even have nicknames. We should at least have a formal name."

I felt that names just had to be simple and easy to remember.

But Frank was different, he insisted on a unique name.

He flipped through dictionaries every day but never found anything he liked.

"Why don't you choose the nickname? I can't decide on the formal name."

I initially planned to just call her "baby" until Frank picked a name that would last.

I thought I could come up with a nickname later that would match the formal name.

But now it seemed we should come up with one.

Jane got excited. "Really? Can I really pick one?"

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

Jane immediately became serious.

She even started researching names online to see which ones were considered auspicious.

I laughed and said, "Nicknames don't have to be that serious, do they?"

"No way, we need to be careful about this."

Jane sighed. "It's not easy for us."

I looked down at my daughter blowing bubbles, feeling my heart soften.

After all she's been through, it was time to give her a name with good fortune.

"But it says online that names shouldn't be too complicated, simple names are easier to care for."

"Like Z."

I facepalmed. "Are you serious?"

Jane quickly shook her head. "I was just giving an example! Don't tell Frank."

If Frank knew she suggested naming his daughter "Z," it would be a disaster.

"How about we call her Syd? It sounds cute and easy to raise." Before I could respond, she denied it herself. "No, it feels a bit tacky, it doesn't suit our little princess." I was wrong.

I thought Jane would come up with a name quickly, but it seemed she was even more particular than Frank.

But seeing her so earnestly focused, I couldn't bear to stop her.

Suddenly, Yasmin spoke up, "How about calling her Sparrow?"

"Sparrow has connotations of freedom, joy, community, resilience, and simplicity.""

Jane clapped her thigh. "Ms. Jackson is great at naming!"

Yasmin pinched the baby's cheek. "Sparrow."

Sparrow smiled.

Jane cocked her brows. "Looks like the little one really likes it, and the meaning is good too."

I thought it was great as well, I called her name several times, and Sparrow smiled back at me.

"What's going on? It's so lively in here."

When Frank walked in, we were all laughing happily.

He approached us. "What's my daughter listening to that's making her so happy?"

I explained the naming situation to Frank.

His smile faded. "Sparrow?"Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.

Oh no, I forgot he had been racking his brain for the baby's name.

Now he would definitely overthink it.

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

He raised his hand to interrupt me, turning to grab the dictionary again to search for names.

Yasmin found it amusing and said to me, "Choosing a name is harder than signing a multi-billion contract."

I thought it was a bit funny too, but I understood his feelings.

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