Lost Me, Gained Regret (Jane and Bryant Ferguson) novel Chapter 832

Primo had a thought he wanted to share, but catching Dailey's icy stare, he decided to make a quick exit instead.

Nelly sat up, looking at him, "Dailey, you still don’t get women."

"For someone like Christine to actually open her heart to someone, that’s rare. If you hurt her now, it’s gonna be a cold day in hell before she opens up to you again."

"I’m seriously telling you, making up with her now is your best bet."

Dailey kept his eyes glued to the laptop screen.

But Nelly didn't let up just because he wasn't responding.

"Even if you use me as a human shield for her, what happens after I'm gone? What, you gonna find another girl to take bullets for her?"

"Let's not even talk about your enemies, the Clarksons alone wouldn’t stand for it. And your enemies aren’t idiots. They're on you like flies on honey."

"They're endless."

"Dailey, if you go down this path, you and Christine can never be."

"She'll not only be a target, but she'll also be the only stain in your life."

Bang!

Dailey grabbed an ashtray and hurled it across the room.

It missed Nelly's head by a fraction.

She knew this was Dailey’s warning; he could have hit her if he wanted to.

"Don’t project your filth on everyone else. Christine isn’t my stain, she’s the one I love."

"It’s you, if you weren’t useful, you’d be the real stain in my life."

"Nelly, I regret not seeing the dirt beneath your innocent facade sooner."

"But from now on, if you say one more bad word about Christine, I won’t be so polite."

Fuming, Nelly pulled the blanket over herself.

He stood there, watching her, from dawn till dusk, without saying a word.

Bringing up Christine over and over again.

If that’s how it was going to be, then they’d both go down together.
