Lost Me, Gained Regret (Jane and Bryant Ferguson) novel Chapter 802

"..."

Dailey was at a loss.

The moonlight draped over him, bringing a chill that seemed to seep into his bones.

He sprawled across the coffee table, his long legs stretched out awkwardly, unintentionally creating a barrier that enclosed her within his domain.

But he knew he couldn't really keep Christine to himself.

He had told her when they were together, he wouldn't hold her back.

She was still free to be her vibrant self.

Despite his reluctance, after a prolonged silence, he finally relented.

"Alright."

The door opened and then shut.

The dimly lit living room was left in a quiet coldness.

If it weren't for the lingering scent of his familiar tobacco, Christine might have doubted Dailey was ever there.

When Dailey left, he took Primo with him.

But he left a bodyguard to protect Christine, in case anyone tried to take advantage of the chaos.

What he didn't anticipate was that no sooner had he left, someone else made their way in.

Christine, disliking the dark, turned on all the lights in the room.

She thought about calling Jane to tell her not to come over.

After all, Gregory wouldn’t be pleased to spend another night without his wife.

Besides, Christine didn't really need anything anymore.

A pill and a good night's sleep, and the sun would rise again tomorrow as usual.

But just as she was about to make the call, her phone rang.

Seeing the caller ID, her brows furrowed slightly.

Still, she answered.

"Hello?"

The voice on the other end was cautious, "Chrissy…"

Christine had mixed feelings about Merritt.

He had conspired with Nelly against her, which infuriated her.

When he refused to come clean, she had indeed wanted to give him a piece of her mind.

But she refrained, knowing that despite his initial deceit, there was genuine care for her.

And she had felt his kindness.
