Lost Me, Gained Regret (Jane and Bryant Ferguson) novel Chapter 866

Serena was so furious she felt like smashing something.

She stood up and stormed out, each step of her high heels echoing with her anger. The more difficult the challenge, the more determined she was to conquer it.

...

Dailey returned directly to the Clarkson estate.

The family members were a bit on edge, and when they saw him return alone, they were both surprised and suspicious.

"Isn't Lynette with you?" Jayne asked.

Dailey didn't respond. Instead, he strode upstairs without a word.

Jayne exchanged a glance with Caldwell Madge, both sensing something was amiss. It was unusual for Dailey to return to the Clarkson estate alone.

"Linden," Jayne called out to the person who entered behind Dailey. "You were with him the whole time. Did you notice anything unusual?"

Linden bowed slightly, a respectful smile on his face. "Nothing out of the ordinary."

"He didn't even visit Christine's place. He just went to Ford Enterprises and then stopped by a café, where he spent some time with Miss Sinclair before taking a cab home."

This wasn't typical of Dailey. Normally, he was calm, but when it came to matters concerning Christine, he was known to act impulsively. It was strange that he hadn't made any moves—so strange it bordered on eerie. And this eerie feeling lingered for days.

After that day, Serena was nowhere to be seen either.

Jayne started to worry that the engagement might fall through and began considering other options.

...

Christine, on the other hand, was blissfully unaware of any of this happening in Vista Town.

One day, her landlord's daughter brought her a letter. She suspected it was from Jane, and upon opening it, she was right. The letter was simple, mentioning that Jane had enjoyed her days and was planning to return to Vista Town, reassured by Christine's previous letter that all was well.

For some reason, Christine felt touched. After dealing with the letter, she decided to relax with a comedy film.
