That day, Janet was working on a new clothing design draft early in the morning when she suddenly received a message text from Laney.
"Thank you, Janet. I've settled into the new city, and Ian is still as caring and professional as always. He takes good care of both me and the child."
Janet subconsciously smiled when she saw the text.
It seemed like Laney and her child were doing well in the new city. Knowing that put her mind at ease.
However, when she thought about Garrett, she felt a little gloomy.
She didn't know if what she did for Laney would lead to a worse outcome for she and Garrett's relationship, especially since being separated could pose a big challenge to any relationship.
After pondering for a while, Janet sent a text to Laney, saying, "Laney, would you consider giving Garrett another chance? I feel like he knows what he did wrong this time."
Janet's text received no response for quite a while.
After several minutes, Laney finally replied. However, she didn't answer Janet's question.
"Take care of yourself, okay? I'll tell you as soon as the baby's name has been decided."
Janet let out a sigh.
It seemed like Laney still hadn't made up her mind about how to approach Garrett and the future of their relationship yet.
Laney was still blaming Garrett, and Janet knew that. If he wouldn't be able to heal the wounds in her heart, Laney and their child would probably never return.
Janet, however, could tell that Laney was living quite a relaxing life in the other city. She had got rid of the repression and constraints she had experienced in Barnes.
Perhaps life over there was more suitable for Laney. Contemplating the situation, Janet found herself increasingly uncertain. On the one hand, she couldn't help but feel happy for Laney for finally finding herself again. But on the other hand, she was worried about Garrett.
