Lost Me, Gained Regret (Jane and Bryant Ferguson) novel Chapter 675

Stepping out the door, I immediately spotted Christine's car.

"Sorry to keep you waiting."

I flashed a bright smile as I hopped in.

With a mysterious grin, Christine started the engine. "I understand."

Buckling up, I felt a slight blush creeping up my face at the topic, especially since I was the subject of the discussion.

Eager to change the subject, I asked, "Tell me the truth, have you really given up on Dailey?"

Raising her hand as if taking an oath, Christine replied, "As true as it gets, truer than the most genuine pearls."

That settled it for me.

I'd wait to see what Dailey's intentions were before bringing up anything.

...

Dailey had been waiting at the hillside café all day.

But Christine never showed.

He thought the tea would calm his nerves, but it only seemed to fuel his frustration further.

He should've just picked a bar for the meeting.

Yet, he felt that a bar wasn't the right place for serious conversations.

Now, he found himself in a rather embarrassing state.

"Drinking tea all by yourself?"

Just by the tone, Dailey knew who it was without even looking up.

Gregory sat across him, pouring himself a cup of tea with a smirk, "Looks like someone's got a temper these days."

With a cold glance, Dailey asked, "What do you want?"

Gregory leaned back, amused, "Just noticing that your temper hasn't cooled down yet."

Knowing exactly why Dailey was on edge but refusing to bring it up directly, Gregory's presence only agitated Dailey further, prompting him to stand up to leave.
