When Love Breaks by Jack

Chapter 664

Greg didn’t make it home for dinner that evening, and since Dailey had been handling a lot of his issues, he felt it was only right to check in. He couldn’t always be hands-off about these things. After feeding the baby, I sat down at the dinner table and noticed Christine scrolling through her phone, absentmindedly moving her fork towards her mouth but not actually picking up any food. “Are you caught up with work stuff? Because I can start helping out now,” I offered.

Christine shook her head, “It’s nothing.”

She put her phone down and added, “Just personal stuff.”

We rarely kept secrets from each other, and Christine wasn’t one to hide things well. Something was off.

I remembered that things had been a bit tense between her and Dailey recently.

“Have you finally given up on chasing after Dailey?”

Christine hummed a response, “Let’s not talk about him. Eat some more, you need to keep your strength up.”

She kept piling food onto my plate until it was almost a small mountain. I had to put my hand up to stop her.

“Is it because of the legendary first love?”

Christine put her fork down, “Even if I still had feelings, I wouldn’t do anything to hurt someone else’s relationship.”

Relationships were a tricky subject, and not one I usually stepped into.

“It’s not always logical.”
