Chapter 694 Dailey waved it off, "No big deal." Nelly turned to Clarence, "Would you mind givinga ride home?" It wasn't really an inconvenience, but Clarence couldn't quite grasp the situation.
Why was Dailey acting so cool towards his ex? Especially considering he almost cut ties with his family over her.
But then it clicked.
Dailey was naturally reserved, and he had his pride.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtUnless he was sure his ex had cback for him, he probably wouldn't make the first move towards reconciliation.
No matter, Nelly wasn't going anywhere soon; there was plenty of tto rekindle old flames. Besides, Dailey was under the weather, probably not in the mood for matters of the heart.
Once he was back on his feet, he'd surely be ready to talk romance.
"Dailey, con, give us a smile." Hearing this, Dailey looked up, his illness making him a bit slow on the uptake.

"Speaking of which, there was this tall, handsguy with them today, looked like a college student."
"He kept calling them 'sis', but they didn't seem related didn't want to ask and be intrusive." Neither of them had a brother.
Greg wouldn't stand a young man hanging around Jane.
So, that guy must be connected to Christine.
"Did you catch how he addressed Christine and Jane?"
