Lost Me, Gained Regret (Jane and Bryant Ferguson) novel Chapter 893

Christine rolled her eyes at him.

Yet Dailey's eyes sparkled with a deep amusement.

"You stay here and have fun. I have some errands to run, but we'll go to the party together tonight."

Christine couldn't wait for him to disappear, so she waved him off.

Dailey patted her head gently and strode away.

A young girl nearby teased with a grin, "You and your boyfriend seem really close."

Christine wanted to explain but decided it wasn't worth the effort. Maybe she wouldn't return to this place again. And if she did, there would be time to clear things up the next time around.

Instead, she smiled and asked, "Could you teach me embroidery?"

The girl eagerly agreed.

Embroidery required a lot of focus and time, and Christine spent the entire day at it, except for breaks to eat or use the restroom. She learned a stitch and even completed a small piece. As she stood to stretch her stiff back and neck, she saw Dailey approaching.

"Did you have fun?" he asked.

Christine tossed the item she was holding to him, saying offhandedly, "Your birthday present, as a thank you for bringing me here."

With that, she hurried off to change her clothes.

Dailey looked at the handkerchief in his hands. It was embroidered with bamboo and his name stitched in one corner.

"Handsome guy," the young girl giggled, "giving a handkerchief is a token of affection, you know."

Dailey tucked it away, smiled warmly at her, and asked, "Did she make it herself?"

The girl nodded, "Very carefully, too. It seems she truly cares about you."

Dailey's entire demeanor seemed to glow with delight.

When Christine returned, she noticed from afar that he appeared... buoyant? As she got closer, the way he looked at her was so intense it gave her goosebumps. She glanced at the young girl, who was beaming like a sunflower. Christine could guess why.

She pulled Dailey away, and once they were in the car, she explained, "I'm just a beginner at this. A handkerchief is simple to embroider."
