Lost Me Gained Regret

Chapter 673



"No buts," Greg says, ruffling my hair. "A favor is a favor. He helped us out, and I won't forget that. But it doesn't give him a free pass to hurt your bestie."

I'm not that mad at Dailey.

I just wanna know what his deal is with Christine.

He was so cold before, his words could cut glass. And now, he's pulling these childish stunts?

"Why can't he just say it straight?"

Greg pulls out his phone and shows me a meme.

"The 1808 Guide to Wooing a Lady"

...

I smirk, "What's this?"

"Just what it says," he shrugs.

I ponder for a sec, "So he's into Chris?"

"That's one way to put it."

I roll my eyes, "Why can't he just say it first, then act on it?"

"Playing sick, seriously, it's just not cute."

Greg serves me some ribs, "Eat up. You need energy to be mad."

I bite into a rib, skeptical, "He actually made himself sick?"

Greg nods, "Checked on him after work. It's legit."

"Last night he was so mad, stormed off to hail a cab by himself. With the weather like this, he's not used to it. Came home drenched, took an ice-cold shower, then chugged some ice water to cool off, and bam, got sick."

"He even missed a meeting today."

I almost forget to chew.

It's not shock, just... resignation.

so"

"It'd be better than waiting for the 'right moment' to explain away that airport mess."

"Once that's out, there's plenty of chances to explain his past actions, even apologize."

Greg serves me more food, "My advice? Don't meddle. Let them figure it out on their own. What you need to do is eat."

"I guess it's true, love makes you blind."

I look at her, she's smiling, "Just a suggestion. You don't have to take it."

"She cares about her best friend,"

Greg speaks up for me: "She's unsure if Christine wants to continue, but she won't interfere, won't fuel their relationship."

That's exactly what I'm thinking, but coming from Greg, it sounds a bit sarcastic.

"Mom, your idea's fine, but if Chris isn't into Dailey, I shouldn't push it. I might end up doing more harm than good."

But Mom cuts to the chase, "I don't see her wanting to cut ties with Dailey for good."

If things go south, Greg and I would be stuck in an awkward spot, making even a simple greeting tough.

"Stop worrying."

Greg replaces the cold dishes in my bowl with hot ones, pours me a warm soup, "When it's time to add fuel, I'll let you know."

I focus on my meal, finally at ease.
