Danielle was relieved after hearing what Timothy said. After all, how could Karl possibly sway things at her college? It was at this moment that Tim added, “Karl is more capable than that.” Danielle looked at him in shock. “But some things depend on whether he’s willing to get involved or not. I
Mr. Simpson was a little bewildered. He looked at Danielle and Karl. ‘That… sounds odd.’ Danielle’s heart was in her throat. She looked at Karl and thought, ‘Why isn’t he keeping his word?’ Karl snickered internally when he saw how frightened she was. “She used to tutor my brother and was dressed
Karl smirked as he saw how fearless Danielle was. He finished his drink and put his glass down. Honestly, he would occasionally think of the time she got drunk and clung to him like a koala. “Dan, fill Mr. Karl’s glass again.” Danielle was shocked. “Again?” “Good things must come in pairs. Let us
“Ms. Wendell is a young lady. You got her drunk, and you’re going to send her to a hotel? Do you think that’s appropriate?” Karl asked Mr. Simpson. Mr. Simpson quickly explained, “Mr. Karl, don’t misunderstand. I’m old enough to be her father.” “Just because you’re old, are you not a man? Perhaps
Karl helped Danielle up and led her back to the tree. Danielle leaned against the trunk. After making sure that she could manage to stand, Karl went to the flower bed and picked up a brick off the side of the road. He flung it as hard as he could into the glass screen of the shopfront. The sound
He spoke in a soft voice, “Why did you think I had to smash the glass?” “You... hicc!” Danielle blinked blankly. “Why?” Karl sighed. “I was trying to save the teddy bear for you and promote justice. You’re the one who took pity on the teddy bear, weren’t you? I’m not a bad person.” He gently patt
After they entered the house, Karl helped Danielle sit down on the couch. As she sat down, he bent over her. The distance between the two of them was close… to the point of being intimate. They could feel other’s breath beating on their skins. Karl was already having enough trouble suppressing hi
She did not feel any soreness just now, but the moment she moved, she ached all over. There was no need to ask. She already knew what happened last night based on the soreness. After all… she had already experienced this before. She closed her eyes, and all she could remember was heading out for d
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
