Danielle was upset. She had a feeling that Willow wanted something more. She mentioned that she wanted to see her to show her the baby clothing catalog but came empty-handed. Where was the logic in that? She was not sure why, but her impression of Willow was getting worse by the minute. At the sa
Danielle was not expecting Willow to attack her character. “Why should I quit a job I’m proud of?” Willow smiled. “Yes, a woman who works, especially as an advisor in a college of all things would be seen as very respectable to most people. However, don’t forget that you are not an ordinary woman,
Danielle dismissed her opinion. “I can’t possibly allow myself to live like a caged bird. It doesn’t matter how posh the cage is. I need someone who truly understands me as I am. Karl understands me. That’s why he won’t throw a fit because of my insistence to work or pressure me to resign. He wouldn
At this point, Danielle wanted to tell her off. ‘If your life is miserable, then so be it. Why must you torment another person over it?’ Danielle said defiantly, “I think you’re getting a little too in over your head here. You are not Karl. What makes you think Karl will be bothered by my professi
Danielle leaned back onto the couch and taunted her again, “Might as well take this with you. Karl knows how to take care of his kid.” Willow turned around and shot her another glare. Then, she grabbed the catalog and left without sparing Danielle another glance. Shortly after she left, Karl came
Willow was waiting on a wicker chair set at the front of the courtyard. When she saw Karl show up, she got up and greeted him with a bright smile, “Karl, were you looking for me?’ Karl glared at her icily. Judging by his expression, Willow had an impression of what this was about. Still, she kept
Upon noting her arrival, he greeted her with a swift smile, “Danielle, come on in, quickly.” After entering the office, Danielle asked, “Sir, did something happen? Why are you in such a hurry to see me?” “Yes, Danielle, you have got to help me. Something’s happened to Lucy at work. I have been try
Once the call to Karl went through, Danielle looked around and said softly, “I called you from the dean’s office just now.” Karl responded, “I know. You even called me ‘dear’, so I knew there was something up.” Danielle snickered. They had good chemistry. “You did too well just now. I was afraid
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
