Lost Me Gained Regret



Jayne's expression suddenly soured.

It was clear that Dailey was hell-bent on guarding Christine's heart, and no one could shake him from that resolve.

For a woman, to risk his own future... Jayne found Christine even less appealing now.

Christine was a master at reading the room, a skill honed from childhood when she learned to gauge how her father's drunken moods would end for her.

Knowing Jayne had no fondness for her, Christine saw no point in pleasantries.

Especially now, with her and Dailey having called it quits.

And even if she had wanted to win over what could have been her future mother-in-law, Jayne was clearly not receptive.

Not one to waste effort on a lost cause, Christine maintained a polite distance, "Is there anything else you need? If not, I'll be heading home."

Jayne hesitated. She didn't want the wedding to happen, yet she didn't wish for Dailey and Christine to reconcile either.

One thing was for sure, Dailey had made it clear: no sabotaging the wedding or else...

Christine, seeing Jayne's conflicted silence, didn't wait for her to speak up and walked away with Merritt.

As they reached the apartment building's entrance, Jayne caught up, "Do you still intend to marry Dailey?"

Christine smiled, "Aunt Jayne, Dailey and I have split up. Isn't your question a bit late?"

With that, she linked arms with Merritt, "This is my new boyfriend. You shouldn't bother me about Dailey anymore. My boyfriend wouldn't like that." Silence fell.

Jayne had so much to say but could only watch as Christine disappeared into the building.

Behind Jayne's car, Primo nervously glanced at Dailey's expression.

Despite acting out of protection, misunderstandings had taken root, tormenting them from within.

They never expected their young master's love life to be this tumultuous.

"Yikes!"

Jayne, startled, turned, "What are you doing here?"

Dailey, without a word, walked away, Primo bowing hastily to follow.

Jayne, distressed, felt as if her wrinkles deepened instantly.

She rushed home to discuss with Caldwell.

"Got a new boyfriend?" Despite Caldwell's clouded eyes, they gleamed with sharpness.

"Isn't that boy in cahoots with Nelly against them? Why are they together now?"

Jayne was puzzled, "If they're getting along, maybe he told Christine the truth?"

But she immediately doubted

herself, "No, if he had, Christine would've sought reconciliation with

Dailey."

"I can't believe she'd choose chaff over wheat."Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

Caldwell, pondering a moment, suggested, "Could it be part of their plan?"

Jayne was taken aback, "You mean, Christine knows Dailey is protecting her, so she's covertly cooperating?"

swno

Caldwell nodded.

Jayne suddenly saw the light, "So Dailey hiding behind my car was not a show for me but to check on Christine. He probably knew I'd confront her and wanted to ensure I didn't harm her."

"Whatever," Jayne laughed off her frustration. "What a hopeless romantic."
