Lost Me Gained Regret

Chapter 821

Dailey seemed oblivious to the shift in her expression, not calling her out on her poorly executed act of innocence. He pulled up a chair and sat down.

It took Nelly a moment to collect herself, her voice choked with a hint of resentment, "Dai, we lost our baby..." Dailey merely hummed in response.

"And the doctor said... I can't have children anymore," Nelly added.

Again, Dailey responded with a noncommittal hum.

Nelly never could quite figure Dailey out.

Her successful manipulation was largely due to Dailey's apparent care for Christine, exploiting a weakness.

Before the loss of their child, Dailey had already declared the engagement off.

Now, without leverage, she couldn't understand why he would still consider marrying her.

Was it a sense of guilt?

The child was gone. If she insisted it was Dailey's, he would never be free of her...

But she wasn't foolish enough to bring up that topic herself.

The wedding was going on as planned, closing the door on any future with Christine.
