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.
