Even without the finesse of a fancy restaurant, the meal was still delicious.
"But Jane, I'm thinking of splitting up with Dailey."
When Dailey returned to the Clarkson household, Nelly was descending the stairs.
He glanced her way but silently headed to his room.
For sreason, Nelly seemed to lose her footing as if she was about to tumble down the stairs.
He didn't reach out, but Nelly grabbed his arm.
After steadying herself, she was visibly shaken. "That scaredto death, thank goodness you were here, Dai."
"Otherwise, we might have lost our baby."
Dailey's expression remained indifferent.
Since that night at the hotel, he couldn't make sense of Nelly anymore and didn't intend to try.
In the end, he was sure he wouldn't give her another chance to manipulate the situation.
After a long silence, a suggestion from Gregory crossed his mind.
"Nelly, would you marry me?"

Nelly was stunned, hardly believing what she had heard.
Especially since Dailey had feigned illness just to visit Christine at the hospital.
And now, out of the blue, he was proposing marriage.
Knowing it could be a trap, her happiness was uncontrollable.
"Dai, you do havein your heart after all..."
"Let's have the wedding before your belly gets too big. Go pick out a wedding dress with my mom."
"Of course!"
Nelly was thrilled, yet a sliver of rationality remained. "But... will the Clarksons agree to you marrying me?"
To the Clarksons, what mattered was whether the child was indeed his.
The Clarksons were known for their calm composure and cold indifference, something Nelly was all too familiar
with. But she understood it, too.
Kindness alone wouldn't have brought them to their current status.
Dailey looked down. "As long as the child is well and proven to be mine in a month, they will naturally agree."
"After all, you're carrying the first Clarkson grandchild. Perhaps, the
Clarkson legacy will be his to el
Mentioning the child, Nelly's smile faded slightly.
She asked, "Do we have to wait for the child's DNA test before having the wedding?"
"No, we'll have the DNA test, and I'll convince my family to officially recognize our marriage."
"As for the wedding, if you're up for it, once the dress and venue are chosen, we can proceed."
"But | won't have tfor all the preparations, I'll leave it to you, okay?"
Nelly already had plans in mind.
Even if the child was lost, and she couldn't legally marry Dailey, having the wedding would ensure Dailey and
Christine could never be together.
"I can handle it, Dai. You do what you need to."
Watching her walk toward his mother, Dailey's gaze hardened.
Then, he ascended the stairs.
Back in his room, he messaged Gregory.

When Gregory received Dailey's message, he also got one from Jane.

Gregory felt exhausted that day.
He wasn't a matchmaker, yet here he was, caught up in Christine and Dailey's love life.
He had been reluctant to intervene when they had their spat.
Adults, yet clueless on handling their own emotions?
To think Dailey would let his guard down and give Nelly an opening was beyond him.
After pondering for a moment, he replied to Jane first: Dailey and Nelly are planning a wedding Jane responded
instantly: [?]

They were in a very passive position now, with Nelly holding too many cards.
