Lost Me Gained Regret

Chapter 718



Merritt caught a glimpse of my mom beckoning him over, halting his steps mid-way. In the world of Hollywood, my mom was his idol, and he had a close relationship with Mr. Shaw, who had always looked out for him on set. Therefore, with a respectful bow, Merritt asked, "What can I do for you?" My mom gestured for him to take a seat. "Acting alongside Chris isn't just about playing the part any old way," she started.

I turned my head sharply towards Bella, surprised.

"My dear, I've been in this business for years, and let me tell you, I've seen my fair share of romances bloom," my mom continued.Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

I gave a thumbs up in agreement.

My mom swatted my hand away, focusing back on Merritt. "Wait for two or three minutes before you head over there. Better yet, wait for Christine to call you. If you rush over now, they haven't even started their spat, and your hero moment just won't have the same impact.”

Merritt admitted he was just looking for any excuse to stay by Christine's side. He could tell Christine had feelings for Dailey. Those two could resolve their misunderstanding and end up together in the blink of an eye.

"Chris is a girl; she won't stand a chance against Mr. Clarkson. I'm worried she might get hurt if I wait any longer," Merritt explained.

Yet, Bella chimed in, "A basic principle for any actor is to know when you're in a scene and when you're not. You should be able to dive into character and then step back out in a second. Don't get so lost in the role that you end up hurting yourself or others."

Taking this advice to heart, Merritt hesitated for a moment before sitting down.

Catching my mom's eye, I decided there was no need for me to add anything. I picked up the baby to go feed her, running into Gregory who had just finished a call. I filled him in on what had happened.

Gregory, playing with Mira, didn't seem too concerned. "Let them be," he shrugged.

"Aren't you worried they might wreck your plane?" I joked.

Gregory stroked his chin, a mischievous grin on his face. "They wouldn't dare."

Merritt, seemingly sensing her distress, immediately stood up to head over, remembering Bella's advice that the timing felt about right.

Bella watched him go, shaking her head slightly. Raleigh refilled her teacup, his voice calm and steady. "You've done all you can."

After calling out for Merritt, Christine tried to push Dailey away, but his grip only tightened, causing her pain. Her temper flared. "Did you not hear what I said yesterday, Dailey? Or did you just not understand? Do you need me to despise you to be happy?"

Dailey stared at her for a moment before letting out a cold laugh. "If you really want to be with Merritt that badly, go ahead and hate me." Christine's eyes widened in shock at his response.
