Although she never really dated, Christine sure had her fair share of charming guys around.
If they hit it off, they'd spend nights over drinks; if not, they'd part ways as strangers once they stepped out of
the bar.
But then there was Dailey.
Christine had her reasons for pulling away.
A huge part of it was the vast difference in their family backgrounds.
Steven's family was nowhere close to Dailey's in terms of wealth and status, and he eventually succumbed to his
family's wishes, entering into an arranged marriage.
Dailey's family was a different kind of complicated. The odds of him marrying her were slim.
So, she kept her distance.
Had Dailey not been so stubbornly persistent, they would never have started anything.
"I guess you initially wanted to just enjoy the thrill of the chase, thinking it wouldn't go beyond that. But after
falling for Dailey, you realized he's different from the others. You couldn't just walk away, could you?" Jane said,
holding Christine's hand. "At first, | did just want to see if | could win over this unreachable prize," Christine

could you ever let it go?"
"Do you intend to stay with him no matter what?" Jane asked.
Christine lowered her gaze, silent.
Jane understood, "I'll support you, no matter what."
Life, however, is unpredictable.
Gregory knew Jane wouldn't be htonight, so he didn't bother returning either.
At dawn, he made his way to the back of the large estate, nimbly climbed over the wall, and landed gracefully.
Dusting off his hands, he sauntered up to the Clarkson family's front door, which Dailey opened for him.
"Shower."
Dailey didn't bother with him, knowing Gregory knew his way around.
As Gregory was heading upstairs, he ran into Caldwell, who was coming back from his morning boxing session in
the backyard, and greeted him with a half-smile, "Morning, Grandpa." Caldwell knew better than to try to stop
Gregory and didn't bother getting angry.
"Breakfast is ready."
"I'll join after a shower."
Caldwell glanced at Dailey, "Even if Gregory helps you, | won't agree..."
"Abigail, get the medicine," Dailey

Madge had just cdownstairs, and Caldwell signaled her with his eyes. Seating herself at the dining table,
Madge looked upstairs, "Let it be for now."
Dailey signaled the maid to check on Nelly, "See if she's up."
The maid knocked, "Miss, I'm here to clean."
A moment later, Nelly's voice cthrough, "Cin."

The maid entered, noting Nelly's fully covered attire before informing Dailey. "Sir, you may enter."
Only then did Dailey walk in.
Nelly smiled at him, "Dai, why all the precautions? We're practically family now."
Dailey was fighting back disgust.
That night was a blur. Whether Nelly had touched him or not, he couldn't be sure. But one thing he knew - even if
manipulated, he wouldn't have touched her. "Take your medicine. Join us for breakfast if you can, or have Abigail
bring it up." "Can't you bring it?"
"No."
Dailey left her room, only to find someone leaning against the
doorway, watching. oel

"I didn't."

Dailey followed Gregory to his room, asking, "How's Christine?"
