”Do I have to notify you when I’m going back to my own home?” Henry responded frankly. “Or do you consider me an outsider?”In Danielle’s opinion, the rumors seemed true. They did not get along, especially since Henry’s every word seemed barbed.Even Danielle felt uncomfortable by what Henry said, b
Danielle almost choked on her saliva when she heard what Karl said.That man did not have to make such a ridiculous declaration just to get her out of a difficult situation.By doing that, he was forcing her into another difficult situation, and it was a worse one than the last.The only reason why
In that case, she would not be shy to put him on the spot.Karl looked at her and raised an eyebrow. “Tomorrow? Mm. That is a good day. I’ll pick you up at your place at 8 a.m.”She was stunned for a moment. Not only was he not intimidated by her, but he even turned the tables on her again.“Hiccup!
S-Sis?Danielle frowned. “Timothy, Mr. Burt and I aren’t– Uh, anyway, don’t call me that again.”“Why not? Don’t be shy. We’ll be family sooner or later anyway. Once you’ve registered your marriage, you’ll be united in holy matrimony, so there’s nothing wrong with me calling you that.”Timothy’s wor
However, Danielle was not pleased about it. “I never intend to catch your attention nor get too close to you. After today, there won’t be any more dealings between us. So, from now on, Mr. Burt, please–”It annoyed him that she called him “Mr. Burt”, so he interrupted her.“Stop calling me ‘Mr. Burt
Although Danielle’s brain was already a pile of mush, some thoughts still came to mind.For example, they were in a car, and she knew she should not be doing that.Another example was that it was obvious Karl had taken advantage of her that night because it was her first time.At the thought of that
‘More like see you never! Hmph!’The next morning, Danielle made herself a simple breakfast before going out the door.The moment she stepped out of her building, she saw Karl.He was dressed in a suit and holding a bouquet of fresh flowers. There was also a smile on his face as he looked at her.Sh
Danielle thought that Karl would continue bothering her after what he said.Yet, strangely enough, he did not turn up for a whole week.As for her, she was happy and carefree.Her life seemed to have returned to its old days.However, only she knew that something was different.The morning of her th
Danielle coyly laughed it off. “No, she didn’t! Maybe I’m just overthinking it.” “In that case, don’t stress yourself thinking about it. Besides, Brooklyn was just someone that Justin’s family chose for him after they went through the list of candidates and decided that she offered the best. As lon
“I’m just telling the truth.” Karl smirked before prompting, “Alright, I’ll drop it. What was it that she said to you in the past?” “I don’t feel like talking about it anymore.” “What, is it a secret between the two of you that you won’t share with me?” Danielle shot him a look. In addition to sw
Karl followed Justin’s gaze and looked outside the window similarly, then he remarked faintly, “Do you feel like Harmony has become rather different? She’s not in a very good state of mind right now, and I think she will need a therapist when she gets to Miraco.” Justin stared at Harmony for a brie
Danielle relented, “Harmony, the reason he wants you to go back is not that he’s angry at you or anything like that. He's…” “It’s fine, you don’t have to explain. I have thought about it and have decided that I will believe in and listen to whatever he says from now on. I trust him as much as I tru
Danielle wondered what he wanted to discuss with her. What an elegant way to put it. “Sure, what do you want to talk about?” Karl sat up, “I just spoke to Justin on the phone. He says he’s going to Miraco next month to start a new branch there and that he will be there for a few years. I was hopi
As Danielle turned around, she saw Max at the door. She stopped in her tracks briefly before finally walking over. “Are you guys done already?” Max just smiled at her slightly. “Mr. Burt is a concise person.” Danielle replied, “That’s fair. Thank you for saving Karl today.” “Mr. Burt has already
Hearing Max’s name, Karl deliberated briefly before responding, “Dan, why don’t you help them send Harmony back to her ward? In the meantime, you can have Max come in. I have something to say to him.” Danielle got worried. “What do you have to say to him? Let’s just forget about it.” “Don’t worry,
After receiving the news that Karl had woken up, despite just being discharged from the emergency room, Harmony made a fuss about wanting to go see Karl. Timothy was also worried. He agreed with Harmony’s request and brought her to Karl’s ward via wheelchair. Seeing Karl, Harmony burst out in tear
As Danielle said that, tears started rolling down her cheeks, her shaky hands moving towards the call bell. How could Karl not recognize her? Could he have hit his head when he fell? What could she do? What could she do now that the person she loved no longer recognized her? Before she could pre
