Lost Me, Gained Regret (Jane and Bryant Ferguson) novel Chapter 862

"Don't kid yourself," Serena snapped, unable to contain her anger any longer, even if she did have a soft spot for Dailey.

"......"

"You think you can marry her? That's just wishful thinking," she continued, her voice dripping with disdain.

Dailey's eyes turned icy, each word he spoke wrapped in frost. "She has a name, Serena. It's Christine."

Serena, who had never encountered a man so indifferent toward her, felt her temper flare with every cutting remark he made.

"The more you protect her, the more danger she draws," Serena warned, her voice low and threatening. "My offer stands. You'll come around and see reason."

With that, she strode to the door, her high heels clicking sharply against the floor. "Linden, open the door, please."

Linden obliged, and Serena held her head high as she descended the stairs.

Just as Linden was about to close the door, Dailey tossed out the untouched meal Serena had brought, ensuring the door slammed shut behind him.

"......"

Jayne watched Linden carry the untouched meal back into the kitchen, a twinge of sympathy in her eyes. "He didn't eat anything?"

She had been optimistic earlier, thinking Serena's meal might have been a peace offering, and perhaps they had reached some sort of understanding.

Serena had assured her that things had gone well, and that Dailey was considering marriage.

She was confident.

Dailey couldn't escape the influence of the Clarkson family. He was born into it, and everything he had came from them. Without the Clarkson family, he wouldn't survive. Besides, the family wouldn't allow their only heir to bring disgrace upon them.
