At that moment, Sonia took it upon herself to bargain with the venders by the roadside.
"Sir, it's already noon and look at your vegetables. The leaves are turning yellow and the stems are withering. If you don't sell it at 1.5 per kilogram, no one would buy it. Besides, the governor has already sent his men to patrol around the streets," she urged with her arms crossed. Back then, Sonia was used to bargaining for her ingredients in the wet market, so this came naturally for her. Hearing her latter words, the street vendor sighed. "Fine. Deal."
She grinned, displaying two dimples on the sides of her cheeks. Daniel resisted the urge to snort. He didn't expect her to be so stingy that she actually put some effort in convincing the man to cut the price in half, but he liked a woman who valued her money. As long as she was willing to cooperate with him, he would definitely give her a considerable compensation for her time with him.
Sonia picked up three kilograms an
"I'm Mandy, don't you remember me? Six years ago, during the trip to the Himalayas, my traveling companions and I came across some difficulty. It was you who saved us."It was not until then that Daniel realized what she was referring to. Yet, this compliment didn't make him look proud. He continued to have an indifferent expression on his face. Shrugging his shoulder, he let go of the matter.However, hearing this, Sonia walked over and patted him on the shoulder. With a playful look on her face, she said, "I wasn't aware you had gone to the Himalayas. It sounds amazing!" Mandy had repeated this story a million times in the past. It was something she enjoyed narrating every now and then. They had also named this story as the independent hero climbing the mountains and rivers. The way he had hit eight gangsters all by himself was the part she told with a relish.Daniel gently pinched the tip of her chin. "There are still a lot of things you don
"Sonia, we thought you would be devastated because of James's upcoming marriage. You seem well though, and we didn't expect you to be so cheerful like now. Have you really moved on?" Mandy asked deliberately.At the mention of James's name, Eva suddenly coughed as if to remind Mandy not to aggravate Sonia.Sonia's eyes darkened instantly. It was true that she didn't have much time to think about James after spending the last few days quarreling with Daniel. She realized just now that Daniel's troublesome attitude was actually a blessing in disguise. Since there was no chance for her to end up with James anyway, it would be a waste to think about him."I've decided to concentrate on my work. I won't date someone before the age of 25." She vowed solemnly.Eva wagged a disapproving finger at her. "You can't miss the opportunity to pursue love just because of career! Your youth and good looks are wasted on you if you keep that up. Don't think that
The more Sonia thought about it, the more nervous she got. She almost jumped to her feet and tried to run away, but Daniel didn't go to her. Instead, he went straight to the fridge and took out a box of ice cream. "I just wanted to help you with this," he said.She took a deep breath, still petrified as he pointed at her temple with his index finger and said, "You think too much. But even if you wanted to do that, I still wouldn't want to because you feel like a dehydrated dry carrot when I touch you."Her face became bright red as he spoke. When she noticed the cheeky grin on his face and realized that he was actually teasing her, she got angry, scooped out some ice cream, and wiped it on his face.This guy was a neat freak, so she thought he would immediately run to the bathroom and take a shower. She absolutely did not expect him to fight back, but he scooped out some ice cream as well and smeared it all over her face.'You want
She thought about it for a while and then sent a message saying, "Daniel, I won't cook tonight. Please arrive at Petrus Restaurant for a French dinner. See you at sharp eight o'clock. PS: If you stand me up, I am going to burn you alive."While reading this message, Daniel was in the cottage by the bay with his subordinate, William. A smile made its way to his face as soon as he read Sonia's text. It was an unnoticeable one yet William caught it since he knew his boss very well. Moreover, his boss seemed to be in high spirits lately. There was a new cheerfulness about him. He couldn't help but come to the conclusion that Sonia had a part in it. He was also stunned to see this change in his boss. No other girl had managed to placate him since he was indifferent to their feelings. Even the most beautiful women had no power over him.As the only person who knew the whereabouts of Daniel, he also knew about this absurd marriage.That day, Daniel was drunk and
"What are you doing?" Fabian was furious as she rushed over to the pair. She looked like a dragon who was about to spit fire.James let go of the woman in his arms. Although he was startled, he didn't look the slightest bit guilty. He knew for a fact that Fabian had always been obsessed with him. In fact, she was the one who had brought up the wedding. "Why are you here?""How could I not?" she snapped. A part of her wished that she could tear Sonia down with her own bare hands.Having no intention to argue with Fabian, Sonia turned. "I'm going in." However, just as she was about to leave, Fabian caught her wrist. Turning her around, she slapped the woman hard on her face.There was no way she was going to let the woman go! Especially after trying to seduce her husband! Fabian clenched her jaw as malicious thoughts filled her mind.In the black Bentley, Daniel glowered. His fists cracked at the sight, tearing through the dull sile
With an obscene smile, the fat man began to unbuckle his belt.Knowing that she couldn't get free from the tight hold, tears of despair streamed down her face. "Daniel!" she sobbed out. She didn't know why he was the first person in her mind, but she yelled for him desperately.Closing her eyes and readying herself for the worse, an angry fist broke through the helpless night. Billy, the fat man, groaned in pain as he fell onto the ground like a motionless pig.Seeing this, the other three men let go of the girl and started to brandish their knives. Without another word, they rushed to the newcomer. They weren't any match for him. In just a few strokes, all three of them fell to the ground as they searched for their knocked off teeth.Sonia gazed at the man who had saved her. She squinted, not believing that it was actually Daniel who came to save her. When his arms wrapped around her, she could smell his masculine scent wafting around her nose. "Da
Mandy actually planned to stay in their house for the time being because her landlord had decided to sell her old apartment.Hearing that, Sonia's head was already hurting. If she knew her friend any better, her real purpose was to get close to Daniel.However, an icy guy like him wasn't planning on letting her stay over. The moment he heard of the news, his face darkened completely. In fact, what he wanted to do was walk over there and give her a piece of his mind.Seeing that he was about to drive the woman away, Sonia pulled him into the room in a hurry."Mandy will be moving out as soon as she finds a house. Just bear with her for a couple of days please," she begged, clasping her hands together."No," Daniel said coldly. It was obvious that he wasn't there to negotiate with her.Sonia gritted her teeth. She had wanted to try and persuade him nicely, but seeing as he wasn't responding to
Was this a swimsuit or mummy wrappings?She stared at the swimsuit. In fact, it looked as if it belonged to a scuba diver. The only thing it was missing were the webbed sandals.As a fashion designer who had seen multiple fashion statements, it was the first time for her to see such a conservative design!"It fits you." A smile slid onto his face. Given that he had seen her before, he knew all her sizes like the back of his hand.She wrinkled her nose. "I don't want to wear it. Not only is it ugly as hell, but it's insulting for you to think that I'll wear it!"'He seems to be a man of good taste, so what the hell was running in his mind when he picked out this swimsuit?'Daniel shrugged. "It doesn't matter. We can always sit on the balcony and watch the sunset today." It seemed that not only would he refuse to go with her, but he also wouldn't allow her to go with Mandy!Sonia glared at the sky. For the sake of her money and Ma
Mary was exasperated at his words. Her face turned livid. "Walt, this is Daniel's business. Don't get involved. If you like children, you should have one with Laura as soon as possible." The corners of Walt's mouth twitched slightly. That was his child. How could he not care? "Mommy, Dan is my brother, and Sonia is my sister-in-law. I should care about them." Looking at him gratefully, Sonia said, "Thank you, brother. But it doesn't matter. If Mommy insists, we can do the paternity test." "Don't let mommy affect you. Let's talk about it after the baby is born," Walt tried to comfort her. "No one can affect us," Daniel said coldly. He was getting more and more confused about Mary. Now she seemed to only consider her own feelings and interests, ignoring everything else. Mary seemed to be stung by a bee, and the corners of her mouth tilted to one side. It seemed that Daniel had abandoned his mother and stood on his wife's side again. "Dan, I'm doing this for your own good
Walt punched the wall angrily. "He just wants to take the opportunity to kill my child. I won't let him succeed. I'll take her and the child away!" "Don't be impulsive. If you screw it up, you will not only fail to save the child, but also hurt yourself." "I don't care." Walt almost lost control. He just wanted to send her to the hospital and take away Sonia. "Leave it to Willi. I believe he will find a way. You have to calm down and never act rashly, understand? " Leila warned him. She decided to watch him twenty-four hours in case he ran into the hospital on impulse. The date of Sonia's operation was set on Friday. She posted this news on micro-blog, hoping that her friends could pray for her unborn baby together. In the morning, as soon as she opened her eyes, a doctor came. "Mr. Daniel, I'm going to take your wife to have a B Ultrasound examination before the operation." Daniel nodded, helped Sonia sit on the wheelchair, and followed the doctor to the B Ultrasound
As soon as he entered the villa, the Butler rushed to him. "Mr. Raymond, you finally came back. Madam had a high fever and didn't want to go to the hospital. She didn't allow me to call you either. I'm so worried about her." Daniel ran upstairs in a hurry. Leila was lying on the bed. Her face was red and seemed to be burning. He touched her forehead, which was very hot. "You must have caught a cold in the lake yesterday. Let me send you to the hospital." In a daze, Leila shook her head and said, "No, thank you, Dan. I'm fine. I just need to have a rest." "You have a high fever now. You must go to the hospital." As he spoke, Daniel held her up, let the housekeeper put a blanket over her, and then went out. In the hospital, after checking Leila's blood, the doctor found that her blood picture was abnormal and suggested her to stay in hospital for observation. So Daniel registered for her and let her live in a VIP ward. After the detailed blood analysis report at the medica
"The entertainment circle is a mess. This is so terrible." Sonia made a face. "You are just a passersby. You will return to your fashion circle after finishing the shoot." Daniel stroked her nose with a teasing smile. "I'm worried about Eva. She's straightforward and doesn't have any tricks. Probably she won't notice was someone was plotting against her." Sonia sighed. "Don't worry. I have arranged Demi to be her agent. She is very experienced. I'm sure she will take good care of Eva." Daniel patted her on the shoulder. Demi was a well-known agent of same fame as Riley, who made many stars popular and was very good at doing things. Everybody in the entertainment circle respected her. Hearing that Daniel had let Demi take care of Eva, Sonia felt much more relieved. The scene which was shot on the next day needed to be computer synthesis, so they had almost done it in the studio. The night before yesterday, Jim asked the staff to get the stage prop ready. Eva would have to
It was the first time that she had been lifted on wire. With excitement and freshness, she flew up and down in the air of a few meters, like a fairy. There was not even a moment when the eyes of Daniel were looking away from her. On the one hand, her elegant and fairy like posture fascinated him, and on the other hand, he wanted to ensure her safety. Just as she was fighting with the Demon Warlord, the lifted arm suddenly took a turn, and the steel wire on the wire machine slipped out of its track. The people in the air almost fell straight. Helplessness and fear overwhelmed her. As she fell, Sonia closed her eyes in despair, thinking that she would be smashed to pieces by the accident. However, after a long time, the expected fierce collision did not come. The floor was soft and not hard at all, and her body did not hurt. But she didn't dare to open her eyes. Her heart was still pounding in extreme fear until she heard an anxious voice, "You little fool, are you all right
"Anyway, don't make our marriage a condition in the future, okay?" Daniel flicked her forehead as a punishment. She frowned and looked at his serious face, as if their marriage was holy and inviolable. It was just a cooperation, but they had to be covered with a layer of gorgeous gauze. Wasn't it hypocritical? "Icy guy, the reason why you agreed to help me and refused to divorce me was because you wanted me to come to Dragon City to stop your marriage with Valery, isn't it?" She was about to tear up this piece of cloth. "Do you still think so?" He frowned slightly. "Is there any change?" She sneered. He lowered his head and sighed, his breath drifting in the sea breeze. "I admit that I had this idea at the beginning, but later I had another one." "What idea?" She pouted. "Let you be my real wife." He said solemnly and frankly. That's because you can't marry Leila. You take me as a substitute by the way! She thought to herself. "So you forced me to stay with you no ma
After sitting at the bar counter, Sonia ordered a cup of long island ice tea. Daniel frowned slightly. Because only people who was disappointed with love would drink that. This was what she always ordered on that fool's day. Now that James had a new girl to serve, was she feeling uncomfortable? "This wine is not for you." He said gloomily, and exchanged a glass of zero degree cocktail named rainbow for her. "It is just a cup of wine. Not a person. What is in it not fitting for me?" She sneered. "Long island ice tea is the most famous wine for being lovelorn. Are you lovelorn?" His voice was like the rainstorm around the waves. She understood what he meant. His desire of control and possessiveness came to naught again. She couldn't let him hurt James again because of her unintentional move. "Is it appropriate to ask your wife about that?" She asked. "Well, I'm sorry that I made a slip of the tongue. I'm such a good guy. My wife must be good too." He curled his lips into a fai
Lying on the lounge chair at the terrace, Sonia seemed to have just won a battle, with unprecedented happiness on her face. Daniel came in with a medicine bottle in his hand. "Take this later." Finally, he bought her the medicine. She took it over smilingly, with complete incomprehensible words on it. It must have been bought from abroad. "Thank you, freezing guy." She smiled, not noticing the hidden cunning in his eyes. "Take only one piece every day. Don't eat too much." She pouted and opened the bottle and took one immediately. Sweet? No way. Her husband was so strong, and the birth control pills were also as delicious as candy. No wonder he asked her not to eat too much. "Honey, take your medicine. Are you relieved now?" He smirked. She took a deep breath again, and it was too late to escape. The storm of 'mistresses' had just subsided, and before she could breathe a sigh of relief, the man's first love showed up. It turned out that at her 25th birt
"Then you know if you are happy or not, right?" He lifted her chin and forced her to look at him. "Tell me the truth, when you were with me, you had never been a little happy?" After taking a glance at him, she looked away. His aggressiveness made her feel very oppressed. "Well, when you were still a poor hobo, we were happy in the small cabin." She nodded her head honestly and then turned the tone. "But now, there is nothing but trouble that can't see the end of trouble." Even if there was temporary happiness, it was like fireworks, quickly swallowed up by endless darkness. "If I am still a hobo, will you fall in love with me?" He asked in a low voice. Anyway, he felt a little comforted. She kept silent for a while, and answered in a low voice, "I don't know, maybe yes, maybe not." After a pause, she continued, "But certainly not someone as you now." "Am I now worse than a jobless vagabond?" He raised his eyebrows. There were so many women admiring him, but they did not onl
