Lost Me Gained Regret

Chapter 669

Christine halted, leaning back against her car, suddenly asking, "Has something been bothering Mr. Clarkson lately?"

"Huh?"

Clarence was caught off guard by the abrupt shift in conversation, but he didn't overthink it, replying, “Ah, his ex-girlfriend showed up again, right? It's normal to be a bit off. He almost cut ties with his family over her before."

Seriously?

That much love.

Then why the hell did he kiss her!

Shameless.

Christine spun around and delivered a frustrated kick to the tire, wincing from the recoil, tears springing to her eyes out of sheer frustration.

Clarence, noticing her distress, finally realized something was amiss. "Feeling down? Who's been giving you a hard time? I can go sort them out for you."

Christine wished she could say it was Dailey, but alas, they were friends.

She'd have to deal with this herself.

"It's nothing, just worried Mr. Clarkson might hike my rent if he's in a bad mood."

"Or not lease me that prime spot anymore."

Clarence chuckled, "Don't worry about it, Ms. Jackson. I've got your back."
