Lost Me, Gained Regret (Jane and Bryant Ferguson) novel Chapter 784

"It's all because of Christine."

"She just had to show up, didn't she? That's when everything changed between us."

Dailey had been standing with his back turned to her, only spinning around upon hearing these words.

The look he cast her way was colder than ever.

"If you could just tell the truth for once, maybe there'd be a chance for us."

"What truth do you want me to tell?" Nelly glanced at his jeans pocket.

"Dai, you're smarter than me. You should know that secretly recording isn't admissible as evidence."

Dailey turned on his heel and left, ignoring Nelly's calls for him to stop.

Nelly, however, didn't seem too bothered.

No matter how much Dailey disliked her, she had no desire to go back to how things were.

As long as he and Christine were over for good.

...

Gregory waited by the front gate for a while, occasionally glancing at his watch.

Just as he was about to make a call, his phone vibrated.

Seeing the caller ID, he smirked slightly and answered, "Can you make it out?"

"How's Christine?" Dailey asked.

"I don't know."

"You don't know?"

"Yeah."

"..."

Dailey didn't feel like thinking too hard at the moment. Lighting a cigarette, his voice was muffled, "Can you just give it to me straight?"

Gregory chuckled, "Sounds like you hit a snag."

Dailey remained silent, blowing smoke rings into the air.

After a few seconds, Gregory spoke up, "I'm at the front gate. Christine's got my wife with her. What could go wrong?"

"A heads up?" Dailey replied, his tone neither warm nor cold.

"Let's just say I have some good news for you, brother."

Dailey crushed his cigarette, a flicker of excitement in his voice.

Good news from Gregory usually meant something big.

"Out with it."

"No beating around the bush."
