Lost Me Gained Regret

Chapter 727

Stepping away wasn't about catching the fireworks show; it was about giving Jane and Gregory some alone time.

And it just so happened that Christine was ready to call it a night too, feeling the toll of the day's adventures.

"Hey, sis, wanna get a better view?" Christine, though not drunk, had certainly enjoyed her fair share of wine, making her thoughts a bit hazy. "How far can we see?" she inquired.

Merritt bent down, hoisting Christine onto his shoulders, giving her a boost.

Christine let out a surprised yelp, but once she found her balance, excitement took over, lighting up her face with a smile.

She let her hair down, giving it a shake, her eyes sparkling with a drunken allure.

Tapping Merritt on the head, she shouted, "Let's kick it up a notch!"

With a laugh, Merritt complied, striding forward confidently.

His height, combined with Christine's, made them stand out in the crowd, turning heads and even prompting some to snap photos with their phones.

Everyone seemed entertained by the sight.

Except for Dailey, whose expression darkened.

Nelly, noticing his mood, spoke softly, her voice tinged with envy, "Christine's got such a likable personality. I've gotten to know her better recently and really taken a liking to her."
