Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56She dismissed the idea as soon as it came to her mind.
She couldn’t add stress to Daniel right now.
Anyway, only a handful knows about them, it wouldn’t make a difference if they divorce now or next month or next year.
She needed to clear her mind.
Diversion.
Diversion.
She opened her laptop and checked her work email.
Wow, he was really fast.
It hasn’t been 10 minutes when he left the room but she already received a couple of emails from Daniel.
One email stood out.
REJECTED.
She let out a wry smile.
That was her resignation email.
Arrrgghhhh.
Okay, it’s not urgent.
She tried to calm herself.
She can still handle a few more months.
Anyway, her team is very self-sustaining, she just needs to make sure they have food in their pantry and they will work on their own.
She was reading the rest of her emails when her chat box popped up.

“Why can’t I keep my medicines?” Celine complained to Daniel when they went back to their car after her check-up.She went on and on about how incompetent the doctor was and how she wanted to have a second opinion.The man just waited patiently until she has released her steam.Most of the time, she just wants to run her mouth.It would be a mortal sin to give her advice or answer her questions.“I think I want burger, or if you prefer something else –“ he suggested when she took a breather.“Ohh Daniel, you’re the best. I’m starving” she said expectantly.She has completely forgotten about the incompetent doctor.Daniel only smiled.And people said she was impossible to deal with?They just didn’t know how to read her signs.“Are you happy with your food, Daniel? You said you wanted burger” she reminded him.There’s

Daniel motioned for Celine to go inside the house first while he finished his call with Aaron.“I had nothing to do with it” he said confidently.“Aaron, if I would kill someone, why would I dump it in a property that would be traced back to me?”“I don’t remember being stupid” he let out a hearty laugh to ease the tension.“He was identified as Clint Solomon’s bodyguard” Aaron said.“I had nothing to do with it” he repeated flatly.“Relax, Aaron. It’s a marina, it’s prone to accidents. Let the officers do their jobs and we will help them with their investigation” he said casually then ended their call.When he entered the house, he heard Celine’s raised voice.“I’ve done what you asked, what else do you want from me?” Celine was clearly irritated.His eyebrows immediately furrowed.He could not

Bored, but I’m okay” Linda said but she immediately noticed the bruising in her cheek.She wanted to scold Daniel but the man was gone without even saying hi.What a jerk.When Daniel came back, he was carrying an ice pack and a medicine box.“What happened?” Linda asked.“Minerva happened” Daniel replied flatly while gently pressing the ice pack.Linda felt her body shivered in a murd

What’s up?’She was still waiting for a reply when Daniel came back.When the door opened, she got startled and immediately closed her laptop.Daniel squinted his eyes and focused on her blushing cheeks.“Are you watching porn?” he asked casually.“Porn, what???” why in the world would she watch porn?“Hey, yo

She wrapped the blanket around her and tried to sniff Daniel’s scent.Daniel must have felt the same when she packed her bag the last time.It feels awful, why didn’t he say something then?How could he not hold a grudge against her?She let the tears fall again, she doesn’t care anymore if his blanket gets wet with her tears.Funny, she thought, she has cried more in the last few months of being with Daniel than she cried in her whole lifetime.She thought she’s detached and unemotional but she’s wrong.She’s full of emotions exclusively reserved for the right people.When she realized she’s been crying for an hour, she has accepted maybe Daniel may not go back anymore.She brought the pillow and the blanket to their room and decided to take a dip in the pool.At least she could relax in the water.She has just finished a lap when she felt her eyes sting.Sh

“Hello, Tiff. Remember the pool guy? The shirtless guy in the photo, he’s a criminal” Celine immediately shared the information to Tiff when they reached the house.Daniel went straight to the study room to continue his work.She thought it’s imperative that she share the information with Tiff in case she decided to pick a random guy to replace Aaron, she could exclude the pool guy from the selection.“I don’t remember anymore” Tiff said.“Aaron deleted the photo, he said it’s not good for the publicity” she added casually.Celine understood their reason, at least she has done her part.She was about to end their call when Tiff got curious.“How’s the boss?”“Okay, I guess” Celine doesn’t think something is wrong with Daniel.Based on his reaction this morning, he’s not as affected as she thought he would be.&ldq

We’ll have bitter gourd tomorrow”“Have a good night, my love” Clarence said then ended their call.She felt goosebumps all over her body.“Someone’s forcing him to do this” Celine looked at Daniel.Daniel raised his eyebrow in confusion.“Bitter gourd” she said.“There’s one time we’re having team lunch and he ordered bitter gourd”“I told the team I hate it and the only way to

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.

He still needed to submit reports to explain that the event did not pollute the environment.So, he is really grumpy right now.

No matter what they wanted to say, it’s all useless now.They were at this stand still when the Blooms arrived.“Ah, Daniel you came. Celine would be relieved” Dr. Bloom was filled with vigour.He never expected the wedding atmosphere to lift Grandma Bloom’s spirits.They just came from the make-shift tent where she inspected the final decorations and her eyes were dreamy.“Let’s get married again tomorrow, dear” she joked as she gave instructions to the wedding planning team.“Grandma” Daniel greeted.Grandma Bloom acknowledged his presence but turned her attention to the la

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.

If it were Celine, she would have definitely dug herself out of that room. 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? Even if you managed to marry him, he will not acknowledge your marriage in public so no one will really know that he’s your husband.

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.
