Lost Me Gained Regret

Chapter 717



Greg wasn't the least bit surprised.

Just minutes before, Clarence had dropped a bombshell in the group chat.

A photo of Nelly in the hospital, with Dailey by her side, their hands intertwined.

Clarence, though at the hospital, didn't forget to tag Greg: "Tough break, man. Looks like you're about to lose that bet with Dai, and it won't be as easy as you thought."

Honestly, if brains were dynamite, Clarence wouldn't have enough to blow his nose.

Greg couldn't be bothered to reply, but he did shoot Dailey a private message.

After all, his wife had hinted at it, and as a devoted husband, how could he not play along?

When Dailey's phone buzzed, he assumed it was just another group message. Seeing Clarence's nonchalant reaction, he finally checked it.

Greg: "Giving you a chance and you still haven't charmed her back? My wife just told me Christine's planning on bringing Merritt along for our honeymoon. She said if things go well between you and Merritt, who knows, wedding bells might be in your future."

The word "wedding" felt like a punch to Dailey's gut.

Clarence, feeling a sudden chill and assuming it was directed at him, discreetly made himself scarce.

Nelly sensed something was off and called out to him, but he abruptly pulled his hand away.

"Dai, where are you going?"

Without a word, Dailey walked to the end of the hallway to call Greg.

"What's the deal?" was his opening line.

Greg chuckled, "You're asking me?"

Dailey pinched the bridge of his nose, "A honeymoon with an entourage? How is that even a honeymoon?"

Greg nonchalantly replied, "It's not like Jane and I are the only two people on the pl. Going on a trip, even without Christine and Merritt, there'd be other couples."

"They're not a couple."

"And telling me this does...?"Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

Silence.

Finally, Dailey asked, "When do you guys leave?"

Greg, with a smirk in his voice, replied, "Next Wednesday."

...

With a larger group, including a kid in tow, Greg had arranged a private jet.

Seeing Dailey and Nelly at the airport didn't surprise me. After all, I was the one who leaked the news.

"Jane."

Nelly greeted me first, and I responded politely, "Hello."

Then, I asked, as Greg mentioned, "Heard you were in the hospital a few days ago?"

Nelly, with a perfect smile, gently

said, "Thank you for asking. Just

slipped in the shower. Lucky it

happened at Dai's place, otherwise I

wouldn't know what to do by

myself."

Oh, showered at Dailey's, huh? Interesting.

I pretended not to catch any undertone and replied, "It's indeed dangerous. Good thing someone was there with you."

"Exactly."

Nelly suddenly looked sadder, "I don't have a single relative now. If Dai hadn't been there to take care of me at the hospital, I might have slept through the IV finishing. No one to call the nurse to remove the needle."

"The thought of a backflow scares me to death."

I got the gist and casually replied, "Glad you're okay now."

Nelly smiled again, "I've heard about you and Greg's love story from Dai,

sol

I

d myself to bask in veget

happiness."

"Lovers destined to be together, that makes me happy too."

I linked my arm through Gregory's, signaling my mom with a glance, and we boarded the plane first.

Christine didn't glance our way while I was talking with Nelly, busy whispering with Merritt. However, I was curious why Dailey kept looking at Christine but didn't object to Nelly's words. Wonder what he was thinking.

Once the plane was stable in the air, Dailey followed Christine towards the lavatory area.
