Lost Me Gained Regret



But he was out of options.

Approaching Christine directly was a lost cause; she wouldn't even give him the time of day.

He needed an opportunity to sit down and really talk things through.

Clearing his throat, he asked, “So, got any bright ideas?"

"Get over this damn cold first."

Gregory stood up, adjusting his cuffs as he spoke: "You'll still have to help with my wedding, you know."

Dailey opened his mouth to refuse but then thought better of it.

Gregory shot him a look and strode off.

After days of endless searching, Christine finally found a venue that was perfect for a classic-style wedding, sealing the deal after lengthy negotiations.

"Chris, have some water."

Merritt had been by her side these past few days, his show having just wrapped up and now waiting on news from other production teams.

Christine took the warm water he offered, "Where'd you get this?"

"Sweet-talked the lady at the front desk, she helped me out."

She drank half the cup, feeling a warmth spread through her.

Merritt had a way of taking care of people. Their time together had been smooth sailing in every aspect.

Sometimes she caught herself thinking, maybe she should give it a shot with him.

If it didn't work out, they could always go their separate ways.

But she quickly dismissed the thought.

Such a good guy, she couldn't bear to break his heart.

As long as they didn't cross that line, parting ways would be much simpler.

"Hungry? I'm in a good mood today, my treat, no budget limit."

Merritt's puppy-dog eyes lit up, his smile radiant, "You work hard for your money, Chris. Besides, I'm not picky. Whatever you feel like eating, I'm in." "Then I've got just the place."

...

Dailey checked into the hospital, waiting for his recovery and also for Gregory and Jane's wedding.

But he couldn't completely ignore what was happening with Christine.

His people reported back on her movements, always mentioning Merritt's presence.

Today, the two had even dined at Vista Town's most iconic Western restaurant.

A hotspot for the town's wealthy youth chasing romance.

You'd need a reservation to dine there; hoping for a table on the day itself was a pipe dream.

But Gregory had connections.

Christine reached out to Jane, who was more than happy to help.

By now, the duo was already seated by a window.

Dailey nearly smashed his tablet upon seeing the photos.

A voice stopped him.

"Dai!"

Nelly rushed in, circling Dailey, inspecting him thoroughly.

"How are you back in the hospital? Weren't you fine after the last treatment?"

"It's partly my fault."

Her voice softened, almost pleading, "I should've insisted on taking care of you, not left you alone."

Before Dailey could respond, she continued, "Dai, don't send me away this time. I worry sick when I can't see you. Alone at home, I can't eat or sleep. Please, let me stay and take care of you, will you?"

His mom adored Nelly. If it hadn't been for his grandfather...

Dailey craved some peace of mind. Given Nelly's persistence, she'd likely spill the beans to his mom.

And that would be the end of any quiet days ahead.

“Alright, thanks for the help."

"You're being formal with me? We grew up together, practically family. It's

other."

os y right to look out for each

Dailey hardly absorbed a word she said, his mind stuck on that photo infuriated. Tossing the tablet to his aide he lay back on the hospital bed, fuming.

Yet, he couldn't help but send Gregory a message in his frustration.

【Can you just get your wedding over with already?】
