Lost Me Gained Regret

Chapter 773

Vista Town was feeling the full swing of winter.

The hallway window was cracked just enough to let in some fresh air, creating a chilly draft that made it feel like there were two separate worlds: one cold outside and one warm inside. But Dailey wasn't cold; in fact, he was on fire.

He had only opened the door a crack, wary of Christine catching a chill, but then he swung it wide open.

And just as quickly, it slammed shut again.

Dailey walked over and tenderly held Christine's face, kissing her.

She even felt a bit scorched by the heat of his palm.

"Why are you so hot...?" she asked, trying to push him away slightly.

Without answering, Dailey scooped her up, kicked off his shoes, and strode towards the bedroom.

His kiss landed as he finally replied, "Isn't it obvious? You're the one who lit the fire."

Christine couldn't hide her affection for Dailey, and he was well aware of it.

But for some reason, hearing those words from her seemed to have an overwhelming impact.

Christine, caught between laughter and tears, pleaded, "Stop messing around, go take care of what you need to."

But Dailey was already undressing.

Christine was close to losing her patience, "Get lost, will you?"

Dailey leaned in closer, "It'll be quick."

"Get out!"
