Lost Me Gained Regret

Chapter 731

Christine thought to herself, nobody's a pushover.

"Dailey, I was impulsive when I started flirting with you. I owe you an apology."

"I appreciate that you have feelings for me, but we can't be together."

There's no future in it.

"Because of Merritt?" he asked.

"No," Christine replied.
