When Love Breaks by Jack

Chapter 688

Leaning against the car, Christine folded her arms across her chest, the picture of indifference.

Men. She had seen her fair share of them.

And she knew exactly what those two were up to.

Dogs, all of them, always keen on marking their territory.

But regardless of whatever Dailey thought or felt about her, she wasn’t about to entertain it.

She had given him a chance before, and now here he was, parading his first love around her like it was some grand gesture.

Idiot.

With an air of nonchalance, she remarked, “Don’t worry about it. When your Greg shows up, he’ll handle it.”

“Mrs. Ford.”

As soon as she finished speaking, a middle-aged man hurried over, giving me a slight bow. “I’m terribly sorry for any disturbance. I’ll take care of it right away. Please, feel free to relax upstairs; we’ve prepared some refreshments for you.” I nodded politely, “No need, I’ve got things to attend to. Please, go ahead.”

Turning to Christine, I said, “Let’s get going.”

Christine called out, “Merritt!”

Merritt hurried over, all innocence and obedience.

But just as we were about to leave, we heard the middle-aged man frantically making a phone call behind us.
