"Thank you Daniel."
"For what?"
"For helping me. Can we put off further measures till after the engagement party tomorrow is finished?"
"It depends on you." He shrugged. It didn't really matter if it was delayed for a day.
"Thank you." Sonia finally breathed a sigh of relief. She had to do everything to save her dignity tomorrow.
With that, she invited him to have lunch with her.
When they walked into the restaurant next to the community, She ordered the cheapest thing on the menu, then she went Dutch and paid for her own bill.
"Let me pay." Daniel motioned to take out his wallet, but Sonia, who didn't seem to hear him, just handed the money to him.
After taking her seat, she smiled and said, "We met by chance, and after this awkward marriage, we won't meet each other ever again. We should just pay for ourselves."
Daniel nodded in approval to her words.
Not long after that, the waiter served them their order.
"Help yourself. The food here is cheap and delicious. And more importantly, they don't use used oil here."
Daniel raised his beautiful eyebrows and said, "How do you know whether they use used oil or not?"
"I have a really sensitive stomach and intestines. So if it's used oil, I will have diarrhea if I take even one bite," she said mischievously.
While they were eating, Sonia suddenly stopped and took a sip of water. Then, she raised her head to look at him and asked, "So, what is it that you do?"
She wanted to know more about him. After all, he was legally her husband. It would be bad if he was a wanted criminal or he was in a huge amount of debt. She could be held responsible for it.
"I used to do architectural work. But I don't have any work right now," Daniel replied, not going into details. She didn't need to know about his background.
'Architecture? Did he build houses and move bricks on construction sites?
Well, at least it was a job,' she thought to herself.
She was relieved at his words. She looked around with her big black eyes before asking, "Where do you live now?" She had to figure out where he lived. That way, if she couldn't get in touch with him tomorrow, she would be able to look for him at his house.
"A hotel," he said perfunctorily. This woman had too many questions!
"I don't think it's a good idea for you to live in a private hotel that costs only dozens of dollars. She realized that she had implied through her words that he was a hobo who came from another city and didn't have much money at all, so he had to stay in some cheap private hotels because economical hotels were now charging several hundred for one night, and he couldn't afford it.
"I'm a man. Why would I be deceived?" Daniel shrugged, hoping to end the topic of household registration as soon as possible.
She agreed, thinking that his words actually made sense. He was a poor man that had nothing but his good looks. Frauds probably wouldn't be interested in him. Sensing the impatience in his tone, She decided to stop digging deeper.
They left the restaurant after eating lunch and parted ways. There was one other important thing for her to do. She wanted to make a nice business suit for him. As a jobless vagabond, he must have cheap stuff, and if he were to wear them, they would get exposed.
She went to the market and bought good cloth. The next day, when Daniel came, she greeted him with a tailored suit and a matching fashion shirt.
"Try it on!" She said with a smile.
Daniel had always been picky. Anything he didn't like was nothing but trash in his eyes, and he would never accept them, regardless of whether they were people or things.
However, he thought that the little girl had good taste, and the clothes were very beautiful, so he took them.
The size fitted him well.
She admired the clothes both for her talent, and his perfect body. He had a nine-head body that was perfectly proportionate body and had perfectly toned muscles. His figure was exactly right.
In fact, his body was so perfect that even beggar clothes would look fashionable on him.
It was a blessing to have such a perfect model. One look at his body was enough to give her inspiration when her mind was exhausted.
While she was busy thinking, Daniel walked over to her and said, "How did you know my size?"
"By visual inspection," with a smug smile, Sonia raised her eyebrows. Using just her eyes, she could tell the size of her clients without even getting their measurements.
Daniel curled his lips into a devilish smile. Then, he leaned in towards her and said, "Have you been observing me with your eyes in the daytime or at night?"
His voice was low and it obviously hinted flirtation. For a second, she stood stunned. But slowly, his words began to sink in. She clearly understood what he was implying. And as a consequence, her face blushed crimson red. "Don't mention it. I have forgotten it," she said, trying to maintain her composure.Daniel's black eyes blinked, unable to believe she had forgotten it.He remembered everything, clear as day! Every second, the scene played in his mind.He woke up feeling hazy today. At first, his head felt unusually unclear, and he was unable to remember a thing! But soon, it began to fill up. Missing pieces of yesterday, came to his mind, one by one. He was a neat freak. No woman could touch him even if he was drunk. But when she was around, the defensive system seemed to be invaded by virus, breaking down instantly. To start with, she wasn't like any other woman he had come across. She was both beautiful and pure. Even her smell was intoxicating. At present, he couldn't control
Sonia's eyes started to become misty as she turned away, shaking away her thoughts.Daniel slid his thumb down her chin. "Look at me," he said softly. He didn't want her to feel wronged. In fact, that's the last thing he wanted her to feel. He wanted her to feel as if she was the only one in the world for him.Hearing that, Sonia sniffled and gazed up at him innocently. "What's so attractive about you?" she murmured."I'm better looking than him," he snorted. His dark eyes glinted under the dim light."You wish." She barked out a laugh, but before she could say anything else, he leaned over and kissed her. His kiss was like a shock of electricity. She trembled against his touch as she leaned closer into his arms.Her face reddened. She didn't expect that the cold man would have such an arrogant side. He even dared to kiss her in public!Since Daniel was now her boyfriend, she couldn't reject his hold, but she definitely wasn't going to let go of him that easily.Sonia lifted her foot
Taking a deep breath, Sonia turned around slowly and said, "If you're so sure of yourself, let's take a bet!""Okay!" Fabian smiled complacently. She had been competing with Sonia for such a long time. She knew her so well that she could easily predict her moves. Sonia was obviously inferior to her. She was like a stupid bug whom she could bait and trap easily at will. Right now, she swallowed her trick hook, line and sinker. "Today is April 3. If you don't break up with that man on June 3, you win the game. But you would lose the game if you two break up before the agreed date. As punishment, the loser would have to wear a bikini and dance in the Century Square!""Okay!" Sonia agreed without hesitation. She then took her cellphone out of her pocket and asked Fabian to repeat the conditions of the bet. The recording would serve as the proof of their bet, in case she planned to back out when she lost. "You just wait and see how I will punish you!" She sneered as she walked away.Lookin
"Go ahead." Thinking of this, Sonia sighed in relief. She would do anything as long as his list of requests weren't asking too much of her."First, no affairs. You don't cheat on me. Second, you'll have to take care of me," he said seriously as his lips straightened into a thin line.How dare he? The first condition didn't even make any sense! The second one was that he obviously intended to treat her like a slave. As they say, if one handed you lemons, you can just go and make lemonade. She shook her head at the thought.But as long as she could win the bet against Fabian, then she could bear all of it. After all, it was only for two months. "Fine, but you should also behave yourself. Don't take advantage of me," she warned him. "I've seen every part of your body, and there is absolutely no part that I haven't touched. What else can I take advantage of?" he teased.Sonia flushed, wishing that the ground beneath her could swallow her right up. She wanted to curse him into the oblivi
She quickly picked up the bath towel and wrapped it around herself. Her face was tomato red. She looked like a deer caught in the headlights. His eyes lit up almost immediately, looking like a kid whose Christmas present got in early. In the blink of an eye, he stood in front of her. She was so scared that she completely forgot to run away. She bowed her head and stepped back, wanting nothing more than to keep a safe distance from him.However, every time she stepped back, he took another step forward. They continued doing this till he had her backed up in a corner."What– what are you doing?" she stuttered out, clutching her bath towel.Daniel's strong arms blocked her from going left and right, locking her beneath him. He leaned in so close that she could almost hear his heart beating in his chest. "Did you do that on purpose?" he whispered, his breath fanning across her nose. His voice was hoarse and raspy as if he had just gone days without a cup of water. She inhaled sharply."No
It was late at night, and the weather shifted around them. Dark clouds were gathering in the skies, and soon enough, thunder blasted across the city.In her room, small night lights emitted a dim light. However, Sonia couldn't help but shift and turn under the covers of her bed.Ever since she was a kid, she had suffered from claustrophobia. She made sure to have night lights plugged around her room to help ease her anxiety.Even then, she still couldn't fall asleep as her mind drifted towards James.Although he was going to get married, she still liked him. This love had lasted for more than five years, and she still couldn't find it in herself to get over him.If the girl he intended to marry wasn't the one she hated, then maybe she would have already moved on and have given all her heartfelt wishes. Seeing as he had chosen Fabian, it pissed her off to no end.She groaned, wanting nothing more but to claw her face.A fierce wind came, rustling the leaves in the backyard. Lightning f
Thunder crackled in a distance, but he didn't care. All he wanted was to save her. The thought of the thunder bolts and lightening sparks making contact with the iron made frame of her window sent shivers down his spine. He could die by electric shock if he isn't extremely careful!Once he arrived, he kicked the glass window and swung himself into the room. Under the light of his cellphone, he could see her lying on the ground. Her whole body was convulsing and her lips were colorless. She looked as if she had just joined the cast of zombies.He lifted her up and placed her on the bed. He began to perform artificial respiration.Sonia was finally conscious. Seeing the dim light across the room, her fear had been relieved. As he continued to blow air into her system, the muscle in her throat slowly unwound, allowing her to breathe more easily."Did you have a heart attack? Where's your medicine?" Daniel asked anxiously, glancing around."No. I suffered from claustrophobia, that's all,"
In the darkest hour of the night, Sonia found herself walking all alone in the middle of a thick forest with darkness surrounding the entire place. Suddenly, she caught sight of two blood-thirsty wolves approaching her from behind as she took to her heels, running for dear life.Waking up, she recognized the colors of the curtains and the bed. Yes! It was her room, not a forest. She put her hand on her chest and breathed a sigh of relief. It was just a dream.She closed her eyes and was just about to lie down again when a big hand reached out from behind and touched her back. The unexpected touch made her tremble. As she turned her head around, she was shocked to see that there was a stranger sleeping next to her."Oh my God!" a scream of panic broke out from her lips, vibrating the room.'What is going on? How did this guy get into my apartment?'The man lying next to her was awake by her screaming. He was shocked and disoriented. Then, suddenly, his expression froze.Sonia jumped

Sonia knew that the issue between herself and Fabian was about to skyrocket. Based on this, she asked Daniel to wait before approaching her."I heard everything you said that day." Fabian sneered. "I am the one James loves. You don't even know half of what he does to me. In fact, he proposed to me within a few days since we've been together. In fact, he even said how I had so many admires that he was afraid that someone else would take me away."Sonia snorted. Unlike Fabian, she had more important things to get to, and she didn't want to waste her entire day by arguing with her. "You're thinking too much. Yesterday was April Fool's. I was only kidding.""Stop pretending!" she snarled. "I know you love him. Yesterday, he was so afraid that I'll mistrust him that he even said that he'll never fall in love with someone like you. You're like a mouse who has just crawled out of the trash bin. He's disgusted to be linked to someone like you. In fact, he even asked me to tell you to stop day
