Lost Me Gained Regret

Chapter 710



"Fine."

Christine had tried reasoning, but it seemed threats were the next step for him.

Fuming, grinding her teeth, she spat out, "There won't be any trouble between them. My brother Greg will always have Jane's back. Just one word about your shady moves to Jane, and Greg will make sure you won't be able to pull anything off."

Dailey just smirked, "I've been quite bored lately anyway. Let's see Greg and your BFF cut their honeymoon short to spar with me. It's time they focused on something more productive."

Christine felt defeated.

Not by Dailey, but by the thought of Greg getting involved.

If Dailey actually went head-to-head with Greg in some kind of business showdown, the whole of Vista Town would be in chaos.

And Jane would definitely be worried sick.

They had just gotten married. If their happiness was ruined because of her, she'd never forgive herself.

But she put on a brave face, "You really are Greg's best pal."

Dailey, unfazed, tidied up her disheveled hair, saying, "Can we talk now?"

"If not, I can have Greg come over for that match right now."

Christine took a deep breath, realizing her anger was still blazing, then took another.

Only when she had calmed down did she manage to squeeze out, "We can talk."

Dailey let her go and stood up, grabbing a bottle from the fridge for her.

He even twisted off the cap.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Christine wasn't impressed. She was no little girl to be swayed by such a gesture. She could open her own bottles!

After a few sips, her anger finally subsided a bit.

Leaning into the corner of the sofa, she looked at him sideways, "Let's hear it."

Dailey apologized again.

He felt like he had used up a lifetime's worth of apologies in one day.

But it was clear she wasn't buying it.

"Spit it out. What do you want from me to get along? Just say it, and I'll do it."

"You'd really do whatever I say?"

Christine's mischievous side peaked.

Knowing her well, Dailey was aware of her limitless schemes. "You can't possibly ask me to eat crap?"

Christine cringed, "Gross."

His idea of kissing her out of the

blue, and she suggests eating cr as punishment? Whose puni cr

was it, really!

"I accept your apology. Let's strive for a peaceful coexistence from now on.

Mr.

es vendeven smile and greet y ".

Dailey's mood visibly darkened as Christine attempted to leave, but he pulled her back, trapping her on his lap. Christine decided to just give in.

Wrapping her arms around his neck, she lifted her lips close to his ear, deliberately whispering and blowing into it.

"Mr. Clarkson, such peculiar tastes you have. But I'm not one to fall for such tricks."

"Why don't you chase after your Nelly? Her frail, helpless demeanor seems like it'd be right up your alley with your domineering ways

As she spoke, she gently scratched his Adam's apple with her nail.

Dailey's muscles tensed, his Adam's apple bobbing slightly.

His gaze darkened.

But Christine's smile only grew, trailing her finger down to his collarbone.

Observing Dailey's reactions, she continued downward.

Finally pausing at his belt.

Click-

That sound, like a switch, seemed to unleash the beast from its cage.

But the moment Dailey's lips came close, Christine covered his mouth with her hand.

Her smile was radiant, yet there was a hint of cruelty in the curve of her lips.

"Mr. Clarkson, such a reaction...could it be, you've, fallen, for me?"
