Lost Me Gained Regret Read Online Novel

"I'm practically a nobody still."

Ex-girlfriend...

The corners of Gregory's lips deepened as he looked at Dailey, casually saying, "Well, looks like our bet still has some suspense."

Clarence chimed in, "I bet Greg's gonna win. His family would never easily agree to him getting back with an ex."

"Plus, with his personality, sneaking off to elope isn't something he'd do."

Dailey glanced at Clarence before finally addressing Gregory, "Why didn't the expected visitor show up when I was in the hospital last time?" Gregory raised an eyebrow, replying leisurely, "Oh, my wife told me to keep mum about it."

"But someone unexpected did show up, which was a surprise to me."

Dailey hadn't heard a peep, waiting for Christine, but to his surprise, someone else came.

"Let's drink."

Without saying much, Gregory took a sip from his glass, placed it down, and stood up, "It's about time I head back."

Clarence hurried to stop him, "It's barely late."

Gregory adjusting his cuffs, "You wouldn't understand. Wait till you have a wife and kids, you'd rush home too."

His bragging seemed never-ending.

Clarence only dared to grumble in his mind, saying, "Could you at least give a hand?"

Gregory neither agreed nor declined, "Heading home."

Clarence walked him to the door, and just as he was about to turn back to Dailey, Dailey had also left.

...

As Gregory settled into the backseat, the other car door opened.

Seeing Dailey enter, he wasn't surprised and instructed Lucius to drive.

Dailey went straight to the point, "Did she say anything?"

"What?"

Gregory pretended to be confused, "Which 'she'?"

Dailey frowned, "I've been busting my ass off for you lately, and you can't even show gratitude, now you're stabbing me in the back?" Gregory snorted, "You chased her away yourself, why are you lashing out at me?"

Dailey was filled with regret.

That's why he had pretended to be seriously injured, to bring this up.

But then, one thing after another caught him off guard.

He never found the right moment to talk.

Now, they were worse than strangers.

She would at least smile at strangers asking for directions.

But not at him.

"You're not helping, just kicking me while I'm down."

Gregory couldn't help but laugh, "Nice, taking your anger out on me."

He clapped his hands, his voice relaxed, "Sorry, can't have the wife and kids smelling smoke."

Didn't feel like you were sorry at all.

Dailey massaged his throbbing temples, asking, "So, you're really not gonna help a brother out?"

As I saw Christine out, Gregory's car just happened to pull up.

Christine glanced at her watch, "Back so early? You really have turned into a family man."

"Jane, to be honest, I never saw it coming."

I patted her arm, smiling, "You'll find a good man who loves you too."

But I never expected Dailey would be in Gregory's car.

My words went straight to his ears.

I gave Gregory a look, why didn't you give me a heads up?

Gregory came over, took my hand, and told Christine, "No need to see you out."

Christine jingled her car keys, "No trouble, Mr. Ford, I'll drive myself."

"Drive safe then-"

Gregory dragged out the words, his gaze on Dailey, but the words were for Christine, "Take it easy on th

road."

Yet, I could hear the amusement in his deep voice, clearly enjoying the drama.

I sneakily elbowed his waist.
