Lost Me Gained Regret

Chapter 824

"But, Dailey..."

Christine seemed to struggle to find the right words, pausing thoughtfully before continuing, "He's... different."

Her smile was tinged with a hint of bitterness.

"It wasn't just because of Nelly that I broke up with him. It's also because I felt I didn't have the courage to take on the world with him."

"I love him so much that I didn't want him to have to fight his family, or the whole world because of me. He could have had a great life, but ended up with nothing because of our relationship."

"Merritt, since you say you like me, I thought you'd understand."

Merritt felt a pang of discomfort as he listened to Christine's confession about Dailey, but he could tell she was even more upset.

From the moment he met Christine, she was always vibrant and lively.
