Griffin took a sip of water, his gaze becoming increasingly affectionate. However, his words were not that pleasant for her to hear. "Overthinking?How can I be overthinking when I know you love me?”Griffin’s lack of restraint in front of his mother left Daphne seething with anger.She would not sit here and talk about what didn’t matter anymore.She stood up abruptly and addressed Magda, "I have something else to attend to. I'm leaving now."Magda felt powerless.She just wanted her son to do the right thing with Daphne.Softly, Magda pleaded, "Griffin, please give Daphne a ride home."Daphne mustered a faint smile and replied, "No need.I drove here."Griffin didn't insist and instead put down his glass, saying, "There will be a brief meeting at the law firm tomorrow regarding Conrad’s case. Will Conrad attend in person, or...?"Daphne knew she couldn't let her father attend the meeting, fearing it would trigger him in all the wrong ways. Even though she suspected Griffin had ulterio
Daphne felt annoyance bubbling within her.In the past,Griffin’s unexpected presence would have brought her immense joy. However, their relationship had now ended, rendering his visit meaningless.Daphne stood in front of Nora and declared, "I will handle this."She went to open the door, revealing Griffin standing there.He was carrying imported fruits and fixated on her with his gaze.Daphne stepped out and closed the door behind her, facing him directly."What are you doing here?" she asked, her voice laced with a mix of surprise and apprehension."I'm here to visit your parents," he replied.She bit her lower lip, her voice firm. "We have broken up. There's no need for you to do this."At that moment, Conrad’s voice echoed from behind the closed door, curious about the visitor Daphne had received. "Daphne, who is it? Why don't you invite them in?"Daphne responded casually, trying to divert Conrad’s attention. "It's an insurance salesman," she quickly replied."Alright," Conrad re
While he did genuinely like Daphne, his emotional attachment didn't consume him as it would in a deep love.However, it was far from the extent that he couldn't sleep or eat well.He just felt uncomfortable because his original life was interrupted.Griffin realized that he shouldn't have revealed this to Daphne, knowing that no woman would be pleased to hear it.However, he couldn't bring himself to lie to her.Stepping back, he regained his composure and said, "I'm sorry, Daphne.I can't give you what you want."Including marriage and children.A chilly gust of wind swept through the night.This caused Daphne to shiver.She wrapped her coat around herself, looking at Griffin under the moonlight.The previous embarrassment and anger seemed to have dissipated.She genuinely loved Griffin, but she believed they had met at the wrong time. Both of them had endured emotional trauma and developed mutual distrust.Daphne took a step back, offering him a faint smile, and said, "Mr. Reyes, dri
Layla stared at Fred,seriously and then she asked,her voice laden with emotion.“Fred,do you really want to leave right now?”Fred,burdened with guilt nodded.Suddenly,Layla smiled and delicately tossed her lustrous locks.“Fine.You may go.”Upon hearing this,Fred swiftly hastened towards the awaiting elevator.Once he left,Layla’s smile turned into tears.Her body trembled uncontrollably.“Daphne,how did he become this way?He used to love only me.”She cried,her voice filled with anguish.Daphne calmly suggested.”You can still file for a divorce and save yourself from all these pain.”With tear-filled eyes,Layla shook her head in response.She took out her cellphone and dialed a number.“Roscoe,I feel alone right now.Can you come get me?Fred has gone to be with someone else.I need you.”Daphne stood in stunned silence.She tightly grasped Layla’s arms and asked.“What are you doing?”Layla gently shook off Daphne’s grip,her beautiful pale face expressing a resolute determination.“Daphn
In the end, Daphne could only look in the direction Fred had ran off.Perhaps Griffin was right. It would be great if Layla and Fred could divorce.They were both no longer happy being married.Despite not chasing after Fred, Daphne didn't stay there any longer. She grabbed her coat and bag and then left the private room.This time,Griffin didn't stop her. Instead, he followed her out and intercepted her in the parking lot.Daphne was already sitting in her car by the time he approached.Griffin lightly tapped on the car window.Rolling the window down, Daphne asked politely, "Did you forget something, Mr. Reyes?"Griffin gazed at her with twinkling eyes. When his roaming gaze landed on her fair, slender legs, his Adam's apple bobbed up and down.In a hoarse voice, he asked her, "Miss Howard, would you like to have a drink with me?"Daphne didn't answer right away. She simply looked ahead and drummed her fingers on the steering wheel.After a moment, she turned her head and smiled at
Daphne countenance turned rosy with a subtle blush, giving her an alluring appeal when her timidity arose.Edgar’s gaze fixated upon her, unwavering and intense.Layla thought he wanted to ask about Roscoe so she said.”Roscoe just left."Edgar acknowledged her statement with a nod.He once again directed his gaze towards Daphne and informed her, "My vehicle is currently undergoing maintenance at the shop, and I arrived here by a taxi.Miss Howard, would you be so kind as to offer me a ride?"Daphne found herself hesitating, grappling with the audacity of Edgar’s request.Although he seem to know her,maybe he had heard about her music studio or he had seen her perform before,still,they were mere strangers, meeting for the first time.How could he blatantly ask her to chauffeur him home?Daphne possessed a simplicity but it was evident to Layla that Edgar seem to be interested in Daphne.Layla had actually heard of Edgar prior to this encounter.He possessed an appealing appearance and b
After leaving the Art exhibition,Edgar took Daphne home.He noticed she was always zoning out on him.As if thinking of something else,someone else.While Daphne remained nice and polite to him,he knew she didn't hold any romantic feelings for him. Not yet, at least.Nonetheless, Edgar remained undeterred. He took her home and made arrangements with her for their second date.The darkness enveloped them.In the last floor of the apartment building, Daphne bid goodbye to Edgar.Under the soft glow of the streetlamp, their elongated shadows danced.Edgar felt like staring at her all night.He grinned and said, "Go upstairs.Otherwise, I'll talk to you until the break of dawn."Daphne laughed and nodded.She untied the scarf and extended it towards him.However, Edgar declined, gazing at her intently before speaking earnestly. "I hope that very soon,I’ll get to see your apartment"It was a request from a mature man.Daphne was no longer a young, innocent girl.She neither accepted nor declin
Daphne reclined against her seat, her thoughts momentarily adrift.She turned her head to meet Edgar’s gaze seeing how serious he was about his question. Though their connection remained lukewarm, it exuded a gentle warmth. With the exception of the tender Christmas Eve kiss on her forehead, Edgar had never acted recklessly towards her.She understood the depth of his affection for her.Likewise, she cherished this relationship and was curious to see what the future held for them.After a prolonged silence, Daphne spoke softly, her words resonating with sincerity."Edgar, I have no plans of going back to him"Upon hearing these words, a wave of relief washed over Edgar. The inner turmoil he had experienced remained concealed.Aware of his own merits, being handsome and hailing from a prosperous lineage, he also couldn't help but acknowledge his inferiority compared to Griffin.Griffin possessed a prominent social status and charisma that appealed to countless women.This knowledge was
Griffin didn't say any more and led her inside.The entire French restaurant he had reserved, probably because he wanted a quiet space to talk, but Daphne was stressed instead, and as she sat down to order, she whispered, "There's no need to break the bank like this!"Griffin didn't care what he ate, it was up to her.He took a small sip of his pre-dinner wine in his hand and smiled slightly, "Daphne, we've been good for so long, but there don't seem to be many private dates like this one, this place is quite nice, let's come here more often from now on?"Daphne ordered two set meals.After she thanked the waiter, she looked over at Griffin, who was leaning back in his chair and watching her.He does have a nice looking face!Under the luxurious crystal, he was more radiant than the lights.Daphne drank a mouthful of white water and opened her mouth in a hard voice: "The matter of Roscoe and Layla, I would like to ask you to do it."Griffin put down the cup in his hands, long fingers
Waking up in the night with a face full of tears.Later, she sat withered on the terrace all night, and when she came back to her senses the golden dazzling sunlight rose and shone over the whole earth.Daphne lowered her head and gently dialed Griffin’s number."Griffin, I want to see you!"After Daphne finished speaking, there was silence on the other end for a long time.Each of them could hear each other's subtle breathing, and gradually, Griffin breathing became heavier.But in the end, he just flicked, "okay!"He asked her to meet him at a French restaurant in the evening, Daphne refused, she whispered, "Let's talk in your office!"Griffin didn't squeak, clearly refusing.Daphne had begged him and still compromised, "Okay!"*****************************Hanging up the phone, Daphne was in a trance for a long time.Once again involved with Griffin,her heart was actually very clear, she does not pay something he will not help this favor, perhaps he has already laid a good game wai
Darren’s identity was revealed as the son of the richest man in London.In the past, his reputation was not very good, this can be considered to rub behind Daphne whitewash, but also by the financial reports called the father of a tiger without a dog son, especially the business elite model!Of course this group of magazines was also delivered to Griffin’s desk.He looked at it for a long time.He knows how close Daphne is to Darren,she loves him so much that she takes him with her on business trips to other cities.Jessica came in and saw his appearance, she said softly, "Lawyer Reyes, Ms. Daphne has a celebratory dinner tomorrow night, I got an invitation, do you want to go over?"An invitation gently put down.***********Regent Hotel.This celebratory party of Daphne’s a great sound.Darren’s dad Dominic, the richest man in London, specially rushed over from London. He came over to Anthony how can be compared, so also brought his wife and daughter over, of course, there is also hi
He chewed his gum and grunted softly, "Before I was asked to sell coffee, now I'm asked to sell cars,are you going to ask me to sell my body later?"Daphne said very lightly, "With your temper, you can still serve people?"Darren jumped up to serve one on the spot to show her.Daphne ignored him.Darren then snapped, "You say you're really meaningless! It's been a week and you're still thinking about that Griffin? I tell you that if you have tasted the flavor of a small tender grass like me, the package tube immediately put down that old man what is good, still do not know if it is okay!"Daphne was cold and indifferent: "Finish reading the information, I will take you to socialize tomorrow! You know how to play golf, right?"Darren wiggled his long legs.Daphne threw out a sentence, "If you don't know how to do it, go and learn it immediately!"Darren went limp: "Golf is a sport for old people, I'm so young!"***********The next day,Daphne took Darren to the golf course.The other p
They immediately changed restrooms.Layla smiled and said, "It's quite interesting, the firepower is quite fierce! But you're really bringing someone of his status around?"Daphne slowly washed her hands, "His father gave too much, injected 20 million dollars into my music room, I'll take it as bringing up his child!"Layla www envious.How come this thing of a rich man falling from the sky didn't fall on her head, having a little man to drive for herself, and making Nora happy, and also getting 20 million dollars, dreaming and waking up with a smile!As soon as Layla was envious, her stomach reacted.She lay on her back by the sink, dry heaving for a long time,Daphne rushed to give her a pat on the back but Daphne’s heart was a little suspicious of the shadow.Layla isn't pregnant,was she?Layla stood up straight and said very slowly, "It's just bad food."Her words did not completely reassure Daphne, and there was always a doubt.Just then, footsteps sounded outside, followed by a f
The day of Edgar’s wedding.Daphne looked at the invitation, a little out of breath.Time flies, a turn of the eye and half a year had passed, Edgar was getting married, Roscoe and Layla seems to get along well,everyone seemed to have a companion.Darren changed his suit and came in to see Daphne in a daze.He leaned over the side of his desk, took the invitation from her fingers and yelled, "Still thinking of old old?"Daphne was expressionless: "Remember who you are!""I know, I’m just a driver.”Darren looked at her, "Hey,can you go in there alone?If you had spent more money on me,I would have gone with you.”He was quite disgruntled when he said the latter.Daphne put the invitation away and said with a straight face, "It's fine if you don't want to go, wait for me in the car!"How can Darren be willing?He ran from London to Chicago,working as a driver in this small shitty company, just damn for the sake of disgusting surname Reyes, today was the good opportunity!*********The ca
"Owen,look at what mess Daphne is surrounded by, I've already said that her upbringing is too complicated, it's not suitable to go back to the Smith family at all, compared to Renee who is much simpler!"Laurel barked.Owen was a bit hesitant, "Daphne, isn't he not fit to be here?"Daphne gave a cool smile."Mr. Smith,I can't drive anymore, and you have a problem with hiring a driver?""Also, no matter if it’s complicated or simple, I can't climb up to your Smith family, so you guys should go back!"Darren shifted and stood beside her, "That's right, don't get in the way of our family meal!"Daphne shot a glance at him;who was family with him?However, Darren was quite fierce, putting him in Nora’s place to watch over the house was just right, the Smith family people come to disturb again also have a blocking protection.Thinking like this,Daphne looked at him much more smoothly!Owen’s face was pale.Daphne can't drive with her foot yet and can't be a pianist either?He went up and pl
He came closer to her, "My card was confiscated, 8,000 dollars you do not include accommodation,you’ll let me live on the street? With my appearance, how unsafe!"Daphne looked down to take care of something else.She said in a faint voice, "I don’t think there’s any problem with 8,000.”The man jumped up at once: "I can’t accept it.”Daphne pressed the intercom and asked her secretary to ask this gentleman to go out, it is really that her small temple can not accommodate this big Buddha, if she even let him work here, the entire female staff of the music center would not work.The secretary blushed, feeling so sorry for herself.Darren was quite angry: "I'm willing to drive for you but you need to increase the pay.”Just then, Nora came over with her lunchbox.She brought lunch to Daphne, and as soon as she arrived, she saw a big tall guy standing in the office, and he couldn't have looked better.He was so good-looking! Shiny all over.Nora was overjoyed!Darren heard Daphne call ou
She held her husband's hand, "Tomorrow you should perform well, more or less for Griffin to get good impression points, if you can't, you can bring Lucia there, I see Daphne likes Lucia very much,she can convince her.”Anthony frowned.Daphne was way older than Lucia.How much convincing could Lucia possibly do?**********Anthony was full of anticipation, thinking that Daphne was going to accept their family's hundreds of billions of dollars, but he didn't expect to be sued.Anthony politely sent the little girl away.Waiting for someone to go away.His old face darkened, "Get Griffin over here!"The secretary immediately went to do so and in less than half an hour, Griffin came over!In the president's room of Reyes Enterprise, the sound of porcelain breaking came from the room, accompanied by Anthony’s angry roar, "I told you to fight for her, I didn't tell you to deal with the O’Connell family! I have a close friendship with Gary O’Connell.His son’s company is on the verge of coll
