Lost Me Gained Regret

Although she never really dated, Christine sure had her fair share of charming guys around.

If they hit it off, they'd spend nights over drinks; if not, they'd part ways as strangers once they stepped out of the bar.

But then there was Dailey.

Christine had her reasons for pulling away.

Steven's family was nowhere close to Dailey's in terms of wealth and status, and he eventually succumbed to his family's wishes, entering into an arranged marriage.

Dailey's family was a different kind of complicated. The odds of him marrying her were slim.

So, she kept her distance.

Had Dailey not been so stubbornly persistent, they would never have started anything.

You couldn't just walk away, could you?" Jane said, holding Christine's hand. "At first, I did just want to see if I could win over this unreachable prize," Christine admitted with a laugh. "It's funny how we don't value the things we get easily. But something hard-won, how could you ever let it go?"

"Do you intend to stay with him no matter what?" Jane asked.

Christine lowered her gaze, silent.
