Lost Me Gained Regret

Chapter 721



I nodded, "Just be careful out there."

"Don't worry, Jane. I'll make sure Chris is safe," Merritt raised his hand in a promise. I was about to smile back politely when Gregory shoved me into the car.

The car door shut, and just before it did, I heard Christine teasing Merritt, "You might want to dial down those dazzling smiles at Jane. Her husband gets jealous over the smallest things."

Merritt obediently nodded, "Got it, I'll keep that in mind."Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.

...

Half an hour later, the car pulled up to the hotel.

The bellhop came over to help with the luggage.

I took my daughter from my mom, "Thanks for all your help today, Mom." "Oh, it's nothing. I love spending time with Mira; she brightens my day." "We'll have dinner in the room to rest up a bit. I'll take care of Mira tonight."

My mom glanced at Gregory, "I can help, just hand her over after feeding."

I shook my head, "You'll get her first thing in the morning. Get some beauty sleep tonight."

Mom didn't insist further, "Alright."

...

Back in the room, Gregory wrapped his arms around me and our daughter.

Looking at me intently, he asked, "What are you up to, Jane?"

If I didn't keep Mira with us tonight, getting out of bed tomorrow would be a challenge, let alone anything else.

A honeymoon isn't just about changing locations to continue the same old routine in bed.

"I'm playing matchmaker for Mom and Mr. Shaw."

We have our whole lives ahead of us, but Mom and Mr. Shaw have already lived half of theirs. They need to seize the moment for romance.

Gregory didn't call me out on my lofty excuse, taking our daughter from me instead.

Following him to the bedroom, I asked, "Is Dailey always going to be around Christine?"

Gregory shot back, "Weren't you the one who set that up?"

He expertly changed our daughter's diaper.

I sat by the bed, poking our daughter's cheek, then looked up at him.

"I'm already so happy, having such an amazing husband and adorable daughter. I just want Chris to find some peace too."

"She's had it tough, growing up

wasn't easy. I hope she finds someone who loves her deeply someone who'll protect her with all

then

have."

"In that regard, Merritt seems a better fit than Dailey."

From the start, Gregory couldn't care less about Christine and Dailey's situation.

Two adults in love aren't like grade schoolers needing constant supervision.

Given Christine's background, she's not likely to let herself be mistreated.

And he knew Dailey wouldn't do anything reckless.

First off, his family wouldn't allow it.

Plus, he's not one to act on impulse.

Of course, he does get carried away at times.

"Merritt's not as innocent as he looks. You say nothing about Dailey, who at least doesn't hide his true self."

I countered, "You're just upset he's close to me"

Gregory admitted bluntly, "Yes, I am.

He's pretending to be some pure-hearted young man when he's actually calculating, using reverse psychology. Fearing Christine might end their casual fling, he offers to play the part of a boyfriend."

"Probably hopes that playing the boyfriend will turn into the real deal."

Listening to him, I could almost feel. my teeth ache, "You're biased. As long as his intentions towards Chris are genuine, a little strategy in pursuit isn't bad."

"Didn't you use a few tricks up your sleeve when you were pursuing me?"

Gregory frowned, "Are you defending him because you like him that much?"
