Lost Me, Gained Regret (Jane and Bryant Ferguson) novel Chapter 768

But the atmosphere in the Clarkson household was relatively good, all things considered.

Jane had mentioned to her that as long as you didn't tarnish the Clarkson family name or harm their interests, you could describe their home life as harmonious.

But her own family...

No, that was wrong.

She didn't have a family.

Suddenly, she found herself envying Dailey for having parents and grandparents who, though strict, seemed pretty decent.

At the very least, they wouldn't abandon their child or beat them to a pulp.

"You've been spending a lot of time at home with your grandpa, right? Making sure to work and contribute, without running over here all the time."

Dailey's voice took on a mock severity, "What, you tired of me already?"

Christine played along, "Yeah, totally."

"..."

"Let's hang up, don't want to keep me from flirting with other guys."

"You wouldn't dare."

Christine couldn't help but laugh, "You think so?"

Dailey was visibly annoyed but couldn't bring himself to really be mad at her.

Especially given his "history" of being somewhat aloof, now that he'd finally won her over, there was no way he was going back to that.

Typically prideful, he touched his nose in an uncharacteristically humble gesture and mumbled, "I'm begging you here."

He sounded so earnest.

Christine, with her keen hearing, teased, "Mr. Clarkson is begging me? Alright, I'll stay off the chats with other guys."

"Right, what about the surveillance issue? And Nelly, what are you planning to do about her?"

"..."

Dailey didn't intend to keep secrets, pausing only briefly before spilling the beans.
