Lost Me, Gained Regret (Jane and Bryant Ferguson) novel Chapter 836

Wild as a rabid dog, snapping at anyone who came too close.

"Here, sis, have some water to cool off," said Christine as she accepted the glass, finding comfort in its lukewarm embrace.

She swished the water around her mouth before taking a few sips, managing to quell a bit of her rage.

Merritt reached out, gently rubbing her back, helping her to calm down.

Taking deep breaths, Christine tried to regain her composure, but before she could fully exhale, the car screeched to a halt.

The driver cursed under his breath, using phrases only locals would understand.

Stabilizing herself, Christine peered between the front seats, only to see their taxi blocked by two cars.

Before she could react, her door swung open, and a hand with distinctly outlined knuckles yanked her out.

Merritt tried to grab her but was restrained by Primo.

"Dailey, let her go!"

Despite Christine's struggle, Dailey hoisted her up effortlessly and strode towards a black sedan.

Once inside, he instructed the driver to take off, even as Christine slapped him in frustration.

Dailey simply licked his cheek where she hit him and said in an even tone, "If it makes you feel better, keep hitting."

Fuming, Christine threatened, "Stop the car, or I'll jump."

Dailey caught her hands, his silence speaking volumes.

He wouldn't let her jump.

"What are you planning?" Christine kicked him, exasperated.

"You're getting married in a few days, what on earth are you doing with me now?"

"You can't possibly be dreaming of having a harem, can you?"

Dailey's calm demeanor was a stark contrast to Christine's fury, though inwardly, he was filled with regret.

He had thought his plan was perfect, all for Christine's sake.

But seeing her with Merritt, he couldn't proceed with his plan any longer.

"The wedding's off. I'll make sure she leaves; the child isn't mine. Christine, I'm not breaking up with you."
