Lost Me, Gained Regret (Jane and Bryant Ferguson) novel Chapter 708

Born into a family of formidable expectations, Jack was an only child carrying a legacy on his shoulders. His path was one of relentless challenges and high standards.

From a young age, he knew exactly what he wanted, shaping him into someone composed yet distant.

Even his way of expressing emotions was measured and restrained.

But before any significant progress was made, his grandfather decided to send her abroad. The official reason was for her to broaden her horizons and learn. In reality, it was a scheme to separate her from Dailey.

Years passed, and as they grew, everything changed.

When she returned and visited him in the hospital, his demeanor towards her remained unchanged. Though reserved, there was a familiar gentleness.

She figured that even his grandfather's interference couldn't shake their bond.

Back then, he was too young to steer his life, but now, as he was about to take over the reins of the Clarkson estate, nothing could stand in their way.

Even knowing that someone named Christine had been close to him, sparking rumors of a fling, she was confident. In her heart, Dailey only had room for her.

But witnessing a certain scene now sparked a deep sense of alarm.

Could it be... Dailey had actually fallen for Christine?

No, it was probably bordering on love.

She couldn't just maintain her usual gentle approach, slowly making her way into Dailey's heart.

She had to find a way to halt the progression of their relationship.

"Your ride back is arranged," Dailey said, dropping the words coldly before he got into his car.

As the vehicle sped off, the bodyguard let go of Merritt, gesturing for her to get into her car.

Yet, Merritt stopped her, her voice always soft and gentle, making it impossible to get angry with her.
