Lost Me Gained Regret

Chapter 746

Dailey just stood there, silent, caught in a peculiar situation that seemed straight out of a modern fairy tale.

Here he was, a centuries-old fox spirit, somehow tangled up in trying to stir a bit of worldly affection in a heart that was meant to be devoted to higher pursuits. Dailey had no choice but to brace himself, mentally preparing for what was to come.

Christine scoffed, "Your smile is as dry as your apology."

Dailey did his best, heaving a sigh, "Is there anything else you need me to do then?"

"And how is doing something within your comfort zone considered a request?" she retorted, attempting to wriggle free from his hold.

"A sincere effort means doing what you find challenging, Mr. Clarkson. Now, would you kindly let go of me?"

Dailey looked down, his breath warm against her neck as he sighed deeply.

"I'm at your mercy."

With that, he lifted his gaze, trying again to smile.
