Lost Me Gained Regret

Chapter 731

The words made a surprising amount of sense.

Christine thought to herself, nobody's a pushover.

If he had run straight to Merritt after she had left him at the airport, going crazy would have been understandable. Maybe he just couldn't handle the idea that someone he'd chased for so long had moved on so seamlessly.

"Alright, since you say you like me, and you'd do anything if I forgive you, then promise me one thing," she said. Dailey replied, "Anything but giving you up."

And with those words, he effectively blocked any escape route she might have considered.

Leaning against the door, Christine felt deflated but decided to lay it all out.

"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.

Dailey paused, the shift in conversation catching him off guard.

"Because of Merritt?" he asked.

"No," Christine replied.

"Then why?"
