Lost Me, Gained Regret (Jane and Bryant Ferguson) novel Chapter 717

Greg wasn't the least bit surprised.

Just minutes before, Clarence had dropped a bombshell in the group chat.

A photo of Nelly in the hospital, with Dailey by her side, their hands intertwined.

Clarence, though at the hospital, didn't forget to tag Greg: "Tough break, man. Looks like you're about to lose that bet with Dai, and it won't be as easy as you thought."

Honestly, if brains were dynamite, Clarence wouldn't have enough to blow his nose.

Greg couldn't be bothered to reply, but he did shoot Dailey a private message.

After all, his wife had hinted at it, and as a devoted husband, how could he not play along?

When Dailey's phone buzzed, he assumed it was just another group message. Seeing Clarence's nonchalant reaction, he finally checked it.

Greg: "Giving you a chance and you still haven't charmed her back? My wife just told me Christine's planning on bringing Merritt along for our honeymoon. She said if things go well between you and Merritt, who knows, wedding bells might be in your future."

The word "wedding" felt like a punch to Dailey's gut.

Clarence, feeling a sudden chill and assuming it was directed at him, discreetly made himself scarce.

Nelly sensed something was off and called out to him, but he abruptly pulled his hand away.

"Dai, where are you going?"

Without a word, Dailey walked to the end of the hallway to call Greg.

"What's the deal?" was his opening line.

Greg chuckled, "You're asking me?"

Dailey pinched the bridge of his nose, "A honeymoon with an entourage? How is that even a honeymoon?"

Greg nonchalantly replied, "It's not like Jane and I are the only two people on the planet. Going on a trip, even without Christine and Merritt, there'd be other couples."

"They're not a couple."

"And telling me this does...?"

Silence.
