Chapter 5: Bad impression

The next day, I was informed by the butler Lucas that Mr. James had returned from a business trip. All the people working in the house stepped out into the hall, standing in two rows on either side. We all gathered in the lobby to celebrate Mr. James' return.

The sound of a car stopping in front of the lobby door. Getting out of the car with Mr. James was a very beautiful woman.

 She wearing a dress together with an expensive handbag exudes a rich and powerful aura.

I looked up at the beautiful woman who had just passed me. My eyes can't leave her.

 Every Jack has his Jill. A rich and powerful man, of course, must also be next to an outstandingly beautiful woman.

"Daniel, I'm back."

I looked in the direction that Mr. James looked.

At this time, upstairs was a young man with a cold face. Eyes seem to be able to freeze everything.

Daniel upstairs looked down with extremely cold eyes. Don't say a word and leave.

“You see, Daniel is not polite at all..”

“…”

Mr. James didn't say anything, just watched Daniel's back leave, then took off his coat and gave it to the butler, and went up to the room.

Although Mrs. Adela wanted to add a few more sentences, when she saw Mr. James' cold attitude, she did not dare to say anything more.

At times like these, anyone could feel the tension in their relationship. It is the sense of danger that causes people to actively retreat without daring to interfere.

I followed Daniel's back without taking my eyes off him. This is probably the first time I've seen him since that night. There are no words to describe my feelings right now. Maybe Surprise mixed with bitterness, I don't know why I have these feelings.

I looked at Daniel's back and only vaguely felt that he was carrying a lot of sadness.

Then everyone dispersed and started doing their own thing. I was instructed by butler Lucas to bring tea for Mrs. Adela.

Stepping inside, I saw Mrs. Adela engrossed in trying on a bunch of branded clothes without paying attention to others. Not wanting to disturb Mrs. Adela, I also gently placed the teacup on the table and quickly went out.

I was about to go downstairs when suddenly a loud noise from Mr. James's room startled me.

 Daniel slammed the door shut. Stepping out, the face was angry but still kept the same cold expression. I saw that Daniel's right cheek was red with a large patch, and the corner of his mouth was also torn and bleeding.

I looked inside and saw Mr. James standing facing inward. But I could still see his chest heaving with anger.

I don't know what happened, but in general, it was probably between Daniel and Mr. James that seemed to have just argued.

I hurriedly put the tea tray aside and quickly chased after Daniel.

"Master Daniel."

Daniel suddenly stopped at the sudden contact with me. His cold gaze looked down from above and I grabbed his sleeve.

I reflexively let go of my hand. I don't know if it's because of the difference in status or because Daniel's eyes are too scary. But I feel that right now the guy standing in front of me is in a very dangerous state.

“I just wanted to see your wound, it seems to be bleeding. If I don't give first aid, it will…”

I said as I was about to raise my hand to check. But before he could finish his sentence, Daniel's hand was grabbed.

“Who are you?”

Daniel's eyes are so scary, I feel like I'm starting to lose my temper. On his handsome face was no longer the gentle expression that night. There is only anger in his eyes.

Daniel said while squeezing my hand. My expression gradually became difficult because of the pain. Although I struggled to break free from Daniel's grip. But the difference in strength made all my try meaningless.

Daniel is using more and more strength, and my hand is starting to shake because of the pain. I thought for sure my arm would break. This is the first time I've been exposed to this kind of rough treatment.

Daniel let out and shoved my hand aside. My body wobbled because I suddenly lost my balance. I held my trembling wrist while watching Daniel's back.

I looked down at my wrist, bruises were also starting to appear. Even though he didn't know what happened, it made Daniel so angry. But the person standing in front of me now and the person I saw the night before. Not sure if it's the same person or not?

Even so, I don't blame Daniel at all. It just felt like maybe he was just acting the way he was up until now. I just blame myself for being stupid for not knowing when to approach him.

Now I know, the rumor of Daniel and his father disagreeing is true. I also really want to know, what happened between they that caused Mr. James to physically affect his son like that.

Daniel returned to his room and slammed the door shut. Punch the wall so hard that the hand also begins to appear with blood.

“Just because that woman treated me like that. My mother also died because of you, I will not forgive you in this life."

Daniel's eyes were now filled with only hatred. He overturned over everything in the room, flipped all the gift on the table that Mr. James had given him before, and screamed. Until started to get tired and fell on the bed. Daniel looked at the ceiling, his mood now starting to cool down a bit.

Then Daniel remembered the person from earlier. The angry look from before was now sarcastic.

“What the hell people, definitely want to approach me to get information and then spread rumors around.”

As the son of a prestigious family, Daniel soon got used to being delicious prey for the people outside to tear. The people who approached so far were just greedy. They all just want to take advantage of him. There is only one person he can trust in this world. But now that person is no longer in the world  anymore.

That's why he's always had no friends. Perhaps because he is used to being alone, now Daniel does not need nor allow anyone to enter his life again.
