Lost Me Gained Regret Read Online Novel

"Come over here, will you?"

Dailey handed her a mug of warm tea, waiting until she had finished drinking before asking, "Want some more?"

Christine shook her head, sitting up and wrapping herself in a cozy blanket. Once her thoughts cleared a bit, she said, "I'm fine, really. You can go back now." Dailey just looked at her, saying nothing.

Christine didn't speak either. After a while, it seemed like she figured out why Dailey had come.

"It was Jane who told you, wasn't it?"

"Yeah, she mentioned you were thinking of breaking things off with me."

Christine's lips quivered slightly.

She had indeed entertained the thought while chatting with Jane.

But now, facing Dailey, she found it difficult to voice her feelings.

However, given the current situation, she felt it was time to make a decision.

Sometimes, you don't realize how important something is until you're about to lose it.

Trying to let go might just be the way to confront her true feelings.

Whether it ends in a breakup or overcoming obstacles together, it was time to choose.

"Yeah, I... I did think about it..."

"Drop that thought," Dailey cut her off, his voice soft but chilly, "I messed up with Nelly, and I'm sorry for that. Of course, I know saying sorry doesn't just fix things." "You're still hurt, probably can't even hit me."

"Once you're better, you can take your shot. Whatever you do, I won't complain."

Christine already had a headache.

Hearing this just made it worse.

"I'm not blaming you... It's not all about that..."

Truth be told, she was also at fault.

She had seen through Nelly's charades and even warned Jane to be cautious. Yet, they still got blindsided.

She blamed herself for wanting to test how far Dailey would go for her, which only gave Nelly the chance to wedge in.

Madge was right; your upbringing really does reflect on how you handle things.

How you treat people, how you tackle problems.

When she first met Dailey, his aloof demeanor gave nothing away about his preferences.

Only after learning about his family's situation did she understand it was his way of protecting himself.

Dailey always kept his cool, never letting anything ruffle him.

A true master of keeping a poker face even when the world seemed to be falling apart.

A trait no doubt honed from a lifetime in a household like his.

And there she was, thinking she was

sweet-talk her way through deals.

But her skills paled in comparison to the likes of Nelly, let alone in front of the Clarkson family and Dailey.

Her strategies for work were just to get by, lacking any real depth or cunning.

Love was all she had to offer Dailey, which seemed insignificant.

So, she was torn.

She had put up a brave front in front of Madge, bawled her eyes out in front of Jane, and now, faced with Dailey, she couldn't bring herself to have a heated argument, to push him away for good. FindNovel

"Why've you gone quiet?"

After a long wait, Dailey saw her shifting uncomfortably, lips moving without making a sound.

Christine tightened the blanket around her, only her head poking out.

After a moment of silence, she finally spoke up, "Dailey, I think we should break up."

Christine had always been courageous.

That's how she lived her life, freely and without restraint, navigating the world heartlessly.

"If you truly feel you've made a mistake... and I can hear in your words that you seek my forgiveness..."

"Then, I don't want to hit you, and I don't want to yell at you. I want to break up."
