Lost Me Gained Regret



Always with an uncanny knack for precision.

"Let's eat, Dailey will handle it. Some things are better left unheard, and there's no need to take it to heart. It's probably nothing good anyway. Let's not fight amongst ourselves."

Jane served Christine some food, trying to comfort her in the process.

Christine's situation with Dailey, and her past with Gregory, couldn't be more different.

If marriage were ever on the cards, it would likely be a battlefield.

In the restroom, Dailey lit a cigarette.

On the other end, Jayne was in full rant mode, but he had only one stance.

Nelly had to be sent abroad. Christine wasn't just a fling for him; he was serious.

Jayne was so agitated her blood pressure spiked, requiring medication to continue the conversation.

"What, you'd give up your position as the Clarkson heir, sever ties with the Clarkson dynasty for her?"

Dailey's voice carried an unprecedented gravity, "I would."

"

Jayne took a deep breath, trying to control her anger, "Dailey, do you even understand what you're saying?"

"I've heard about it, your dad's rival has made moves against your girlfriend."

"This early into your relationship and she's already a target. Have you considered what will happen once you go public? How many people would use her to threaten you?"

"We've allowed you freedom, but you're well aware of the path you're destined for."

"The woman by your side needs to be a support, not someone you constantly have to clean up after."

Dailey extinguished his cigarette, merely asking, "Are you done?"

Jayne clenched her teeth, "Nelly has been staying with me at the Clarkson-Ferguson Mansion. No matter how skilled your people are, they can't just take someone under Clarkson protection."

"You're currently infatuated, and I won't stop you. You've never really experienced romance, so a little fling doesn't hurt. But eventually, you'll need to marry someone who can support you, someone of strong social standing and background."

As a child, Dailey could be threatened because his wings hadn't yet strengthened.

Now, how could he still be dictated by his grandparents, his parents?

He simply stated, "Mom, if you don't let my people take her, it's going to get ugly when I show up."

Well then.

The kid had finally grown up, even showing his fangs to his own mother.

"You're welcome to try."

"Dailey, don't forget who you are. Without the Clarkson name, you'd have no foundation for your defiance. Everything you have is thanks to the Clarkson dynasty younovelbin

must abide by their decisions"

Dailey hung up and returned to the dining table, grabbed his coat, and said to Christine, "I need to handle something. Finish your meal, and let Gregory give you a ride home."

"I'll come see you after everything's settled."

Christine appeared carefree, but her upbringing had honed her sensitivity.

Dailey's rush to leave, even skipping his meal, hadn't gone unnoticed.

His expression remained stoic, but she sensed his agitation.

Clearly, his mother disapproved of their relationship.

"Don't worry about me. How could Jane let me go home alone? Focus on what you need to do. You don't have to come over tonight."

Dailey gently ruffled Christine's hair, "Wait for me tonight."

After Dailey left, Christine turned to Gregory, thoughtful, "Mr. Ford, you mentioned earlier that my acceptance into the Clarkson family hinges on Dailey, right?"

Gregory simply replied, "Don't worry about it."
