Lost Me Gained Regret



Primo had a thought he wanted to share, but catching Dailey's icy stare, he decided to make a quick exit instead.

Nelly sat up, looking at him, "Dailey, you still don't get women."

"For someone like Christine to actually open her heart to someone, that's rare. If you hurt her now, it's gonna be a cold day in hell before she opens up to you again."

"I'm seriously telling you, making up with her now is your best bet."

Dailey kept his eyes glued to the laptop screen.

But Nelly didn't let up just because he wasn't responding.

"Even if you use me as a human shield for her, what happens after I'm gone? What, you gonna find another girl to take bullets for her?"

"Let's not even talk about your enemies, the Clarksons alone wouldn't stand for it. And your enemies aren't idiots. They're on you like flies on honey." "They're endless."

"Dailey, if you go down this path, you and Christine can never be."

"She'll not only be a target, but she'll also be the only stain in your life."

Bang!

Dailey grabbed an ashtray and hurled it across the room.

It missed Nelly's head by a fraction.

She knew this was Dailey's warning; he could have hit her if he wanted to.

"Don't project your filth on everyone else. Christine isn't my stain, she's the one I love."

"It's you, if you weren't useful, you'd be the real stain in my life."

"Nelly, I regret not seeing the dirt beneath your innocent facade sooner.'

"But from now on, if you say one more bad word about Christine, I won't be so polite."

Fuming, Nelly pulled the blanket over herself.

He stood there, watching her, from dawn till dusk, without saying a word.

Bringing up Christine over and over again.

If that's how it was going to be, then they'd both go down together.

If she was going down, she'd drag Christine down with her!

When Christine woke up in the morning, Merritt was already up, bringing breakfast from the kitchen.

She glanced at the couch, asking, "Didn't sleep well on the couch?"

"I've slept on park benches before, this couch is luxury. I'm an early bird."

Merritt's laughter was like a burst of sunshine, as if the shadows of his past had never touched him.

Christine couldn't help but smile back.

Merritt had stayed over because his

main focus had shifted to helping grandma back in their

his

hometown. Content belo

Of course, there was also the fact that he wanted to spend more time with Christine in the same space.

He joked about how staying in a hotel was a waste of money since he couldn't stay for long.

"I should head back now, can't leave grandma alone."

Christine had bought Helena a video-capable phone, and they had video-chatted the night before.

Even though Helena had insisted Merritt shouldn't rush on her account.

But how could he not worry about leaving her alone?

If something happened and he couldn't be there for her, it would be an eternal regret.

"I'll drive you to the airport."

After breakfast, Christine did her

elect

makeup and slipped into a knit dress that casually emphasized

curves.

Merritt couldn't take his eyes off her until she playfully slapped his back. "Let's go."This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

They went down to the garage, got into the car, fastened their seatbelts, and Christine hit the gas, speeding out of the garage.

At the gate, Christine rolled down the window and handed some steamed dumplings to the guard.

Her smile was radiant, "Breakfast for you. My boyfriend made them, and they're pretty good."

That familiar figure she knew so well was just a short distance away.
