When Love Breaks by Jack

Chapter 667

“Look, if you’re expecting a ride from me, I’m sorry, but I’m swamped. I can, however, hail you a cab,” said Christine, pressing her throbbing forehead, tired from the day’s hassle. “Why must it be like this?” Dailey murmured, more to himself than to her.

Christine couldn’t help but laugh, not really in the mood to entertain the man’s drunken babble. “So, Mr. Clarkson, do you wanna call the Uber yourself, or should I do the honors?” For reasons unknown, Dailey, whose head was surely not screwed on right at that moment, asked, “Are you still in touch with Clarence?”

Christine, ready to pick up her kid and hence her hair tied up for convenience, felt a rush of irritation and let her hair down with a flick. She glanced towards Jane’s house, wondering if she should interrupt whatever was brewing there and have Gregory deal with Dailey.

But then, considering Gregory’s methods, she quickly dismissed that idea.

Pulling out her phone, she was about to order a cab when Clarence called. Talk about timing! She thought of letting Clarence take Dailey away.

But before she could answer, her phone was snatched from her hand, and a shadow loomed over her.

Before she could react, she felt a soft, cool pressure on her lips.

Without a second thought, Christine slapped him hard across the face.

In the past, she had flirted with him, and if he had shown even a sliver of interest in her, she would have been open to a casual fling. But he remained cold and distant, never reciprocating her advances. Even at the airport, he had made his lack of interest crystal clear. And she, knowing about his first love, had wisely shifted their relationship back to just friends.
