Lost Me, Gained Regret (Jane and Bryant Ferguson) novel Chapter 811

Jayne lounged on the couch, surrounded by a sea of red invitation cards spread across the coffee table.

Dailey poured himself a glass of water, asking, "Why are you still up?"

Jayne gestured for him to take a seat. "Mind if we talk for a bit?"

Dailey sat down, curious. "About what?"

Jayne hesitated, "You really made up your mind?"

Dailey hummed in confirmation.

"So, you're not willing to wait even a month, opting for this drastic measure just for her? You're ready to do anything, even if it goes against your principles?"

Dailey leaned back, massaging his temples as his gaze briefly wandered upstairs.

"It's over," he said flatly, "Not because of her."

Jayne thought she misunderstood, "What did you say?"

Dailey didn't repeat himself but asked, "Anything else? If not, I'm heading to bed."

Jayne stopped him, still in disbelief, "And this wedding..."

"It's happening."

With those cool words, Dailey headed upstairs to his room.

Jayne remained on the couch, staring blankly at the pile of invitations.

When the Clarkson family found out Dailey was planning to marry Nelly, they were, of course, not thrilled. Even if the marriage was a facade, spreading the news would mean Dailey would have to lower his standards when looking for a suitable wife later on. This was far from their wishes.

Their current acceptance was rooted in the hope that Dailey would break up with Christine. They believed Christine's temperament wouldn't allow her to tolerate Dailey marrying someone else, even under the pretense of a ruse.

Now that they had broken up, Jayne was still trying to process it.

At breakfast, Caldwell had raised the same question, "They really broke up?"
