Timothy's expression grew more solemn. Danielle checked the time on her watch and then announced, “Let’s talk about this after I come home. I have dinner plans with Hazel, and I’m going to be late.” Timothy swiped her a glance. Then, he said something to his driver before getting into Danielle's c
As soon as Hazel reached the dining table, she cast a look at Timothy. “Why are you here?” Danielle smiled awkwardly and mentioned, “I happened to see him when I was leaving, and he mentioned he hadn't eaten yet, so he came with me.” Hazel sat down next to Danielle before regarding Timothy with a
It was only then that Timothy realized that this was what girls talked about when they got together. It was repulsive! He threw glances at Hazel from time to time, but Hazel seemed not to notice. In the end, he could not take it anymore. He clapped his spoon on the table and interrupted them, “Haz
Hazel snickered mischievously. “Wanna know something? Alcohol is like love. It’s very easy to get addicted once you start drinking.” Timothy chuckled dismissively. “You sure are full of it.” “When I tell you the truth, you won’t believe me. You sure are…” “To put it bluntly, you’re an alcoholic.”
Timothy gave her a look and stated calmly, “You were the one who threatened me. I have to make sure to entertain you so you don’t follow through.” Upon hearing this, Hazel chuckled. Her threat was more effective than she thought. She jabbed her elbow at Timothy playfully. “Look at you. You’re more
After Danielle came home, she kept Burtie company for a while before Karl returned as well. He drew closer to Danielle before taking Burtie in his arms. Danielle asked, “Finished work early today?” “Early? This is late for me. Those guys at work are taking up my precious time with my wife and son.
Dave stated in a respectful tone, “Sir, I have three concerns.” “Go on.” “We have not verified if she does have depression. If she does turn out to be depressed, I’m afraid that kicking her out like this is going to…” Karl frowned and interrupted him, “What are your other concerns?” “The outside
Willow was thrown off. “Karl… what are you talking about? I don’t… I don’t get it.” Karl sneered, “I never realized you were such a good actor.” “What are you talking about? Please don’t be so vague.” Willow truly had no idea what he was talking about. However, she did have a feeling that somethi
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
