Chapter 826 Nelly truly hadn't expected Dailey to show up at her hospital room.
Yet, she couldn't help but let out a mocking laugh soon after.
For Christine, Dailey seemed willing to do just about anything.
"Dailey, I don't want to marry you." Dailey was busy carving an apple, the knife dancing between his slender fingers, leaving an intricate pattern on the fruit.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAt her words, the man didn't even flinch, his expression calm but focused on the apple.
All Nelly saw was something resembling a girl's face carved on it, but she didn't know what exactly it was, nor did she care.
"I know you wantto be your shield, to protect Christine, but I don't want that." Dailey placed the apple on a nearby plate, his pale fingers still holding the knife, a cold light flickering off its edge.
"What, is it not the tyou desperately wanted to marry me?" Dailey's lips twitched almost imperceptibly. "Marryingwas always going to cat a steep price." "Too bad you realized too late." Nelly laughed, and then she started crying, "Dailey, when did I fail to see how cruel your heart could be?" "And, I don't understand, why do you like Christine?" "I heard she chased after you for a long twithout a response from you. Why is it that when I cback, you suddenly love her so much?" "Even more than your own life." "I might not have a powerful background to help you with anything, but if I married you, I could ensure no one would useto threaten you." "But Christine can't. After all, I at least have the Clarkson family. She has nothing." "Even if she's best friends with Jane and Gregory is close to you, they can't intervene too much." "How could they openly oppose the Clarkson family elders like you do?" "Dai, you know very well that if you really marry Christine, your enemies will cout in full force, trying everything to capture Christine to threaten you." "You might think you have the ability to protect her, but you can't keep her by your side all the time, can you?" "With so many potential dangers, not to mention these enormous overt dangers, you simply can't guard against them all." "Are you done?" After Nelly's impassioned speech, all she got back from Dailey were these three indifferent words.
As she pondered what to say next, Dailey answered one of her many questions.
"I didn't respond to her pursuits initially, considering the situation with the Clarkson family and her background.
Later, when I started pursuing her, it was because I couldn't control my love for her." "I can't stand the thought of her being with another man." Nelly still couldn't understand.
When Dailey spoke about Christine, he seemed able to elaborate more.
"Why, I can't explain, so I'm convinced it's love." Nelly hadn't said all that just to hear Dailey declare his love for Christine.
After a moment of silence, she spoke up.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Dai, let's make a bet."
"If Christine comes back to you before wedding, continue with it.
If she doesn't, we'll call it off." estent belongs to Dailey never indulged in such uncertain matters.
He preferred to have everything under his control.
"I've told you," the man said emotionlessly, "you don't have a choice in this matter."
Christine had been enjoying a few days of rural life in the countryside and found it quite pleasant. If not for the bet with Merritt, she would have liked to stay longer.
"Sis, if you lose the bet, we can cback anytyou want, and you can Christ stay as long as you like. Christine looked at him, "Don't jinx me; otherwise, it wouldn't be a fair win."
