Lost Me Gained Regret

Chapter 838

In the end, he caved.

"I won't tie you down, just don't be with Merritt."

Wasn't that still a demand?

She had to bend to his will to gain her freedom.

Christine shook her head, weary.

Dailey felt like his head was about to explode.

After much thought, the conversation circled back to the beginning.

"Why did you break up with me?"

"Fell for Merritt?"

Christine had been flying back and forth these past few days, truly exhausted.

She had imagined that upon reaching Helena's cozy backyard, she'd just crash on the sun lounger for a bit, to catch her breath.

The airplane food was atrocious. Merritt had texted her upon her landing, mentioning Helena had saved her some dinner.

And there was roasted sweet potato.

Instead, she found herself cornered by Dailey, unable to rest or eat.

She had no patience for this endless back-and-forth.

"Yes."

As her words fell, she shifted from sitting to lying down.

Dailey loomed over her, his gaze heavy, a vast shadow casting a cold air around her.

Yet, she simply looked at him with a cool detachment, making no move to resist.
