Lost Me Gained Regret

Chapter 808

"Look at me, man. Christine turned me down, sure, I was bummed out, but look at me now, bouncing back. Recently, I've met a couple of cool chicks, really nice. How about I call them over to hang out for a bit? Guarantee you it'll perk you right up, get you all energized again."

Dailey slammed his hand down on the coffee table, holding a beer bottle against Clarence's head.

"What are you on about, man? What first love?"

Clarence pushed the beer bottle away with his index finger, subtly moving it to the side.

"Nelly, right? Back in the day, you nearly broke it off with your folks over her."

"When she came back from abroad, you were there to pick her up, all smiles."

"But bro, don't sweat it. She's grown up now, probably realized she couldn't marry you and that's why she turned you down. It's not about you not being good enough."

Dailey did indeed go to pick up Nelly, but happy was hardly the word for it.

It was more about the guilt he felt for her having to leave her home country, and the danger she almost faced because of him.

And truth be told, he really did cherish her like a sister.

No romantic feelings involved.

The bond was purer than if they were blood-related.

So when his family wanted to send her away, insisting there was love between them, he was ready to cut ties just to prove them wrong.

But he had never considered she would play such a game, to manipulate him.
