Lost Me Gained Regret

Chapter 873

"Come on," Primo muttered under his breath, shaking his head in disbelief.

"When have you ever bothered with strangers, let alone friends?" he continued, noting Dailey's indifference.

Dailey scoffed, not even bothering to glance at Christine. "You didn't save me out of the goodness of your heart, did you?"

Christine stood her ground, unfazed. "Mr. Clarkson, let's not overthink this. I don't believe in rekindling old flames either. I'm here because you were injured saving me."

Dailey tried to brush her off, but Christine caught his eye, teasing, "Or maybe you're just afraid of falling for my charm again?"

Dailey was silent, but Christine remained undeterred. Primo, sensing the tension, excused himself to give them some space.

"Do you need a hand?" Christine asked as Dailey struggled to get up.

"My legs aren't broken. I can make it to the bathroom," Dailey replied, his voice laced with irritation.

Christine nodded, offering, "If you need anything, don't hesitate to ask."

"Business is business," Dailey muttered, trying to suppress his annoyance.

As Dailey walked away, he paused, feeling defeated. "Maybe there are some things we should keep to ourselves, given our current relationship."

Christine smiled slyly, "Mr. Clarkson, don't be so sensitive. I might think you still have feelings for me."

For a moment, Dailey was transported back to when Christine playfully teased him without restraint. But those days were behind them. He had worked hard to suppress his feelings for her.
