“I’m fascinated at how you could come up with such ideas” he shook his head.
“That’s how it is in the movies”
“What’s wrong?” she was pretty sure that’s the reason why he doesn’t want to be associated with the Stevensons.
Daniel eyed her intently thinking if it’s a good idea to share his story.
“I will tell you a story, it may or may not be real. You decide later on” he started.
“In exchange, I want to you make breakfast. How about that?” he said smiling.

It’s normal for couples to have disagreement” he said trying to hug Celine.“No, no. It’s not that” she looked at Daniel intently.“I think Clint Solomon is my father” she immediately took out Minerva’s recording and played it for Daniel.After 15 minutes of listening to the recording, Daniel sent the recording to his phone and deleted Celine’s copy.“First, you cannot let anyone hear this.

The old man was really grumpy.And why wouldn’t he?Celine said that the ceremony will only involve a few guests. And it would be a simple celebration.

Their reactions were not like as she has expected.“What if Daniel doesn’t want to get married?” Aunt Marge suddenly asked.She was worried that Daniel would have to give in to Celine again.For the Stevensons, they place a high value to marriage and family. Since their businesses could easily attract those unscrupulous characters, they needed the kind of security that only blood and family could provide.“Of course, Daniel will marry Celine. There’s no way that Daniel will object” Sylvia defended Celine from the Stevensons.“I understand all your concern. Of course, Daniel will have to agree this time. Anyway, I prepared the ceremony thinking that Daniel has really found a wife. It turns out, it’s only a ruse to throw off the Solomons.” Celine explained.“Daniel has already said that he will only get married because of love.

But then again, she’s Britney Smith, only she can do what she does and only she can accept this kind of embarrassment.“Britney, just cross Daniel’s name on your list. He’s not used to dealing with emotions so you will really lose out. He’s also not romantic so you will be really bored. Aren’t you embarrassed if you have to set an appointment with me if you want to have intimate nights with him?

So, I thought I can call you again since you’re divorced now” Britney said sheepishly.Daniel heaved a deep breath to calm the rage he felt before replying again.“Ms. Smith, news of my divorce may have circulated but it doesn’t mean anyone can just call me for dates. I’m not that desperate.” he replied in a stern voice.“That’s not what I meant, Daniel. I just got back to the country and I have a project proposal.
