In fact, Narissa could feel that Jamie cared about snazzynovel.com but was unwilling to admit it.
However, snazzynovel.com couldn’t understand it. Is it that hard for snazzynovel.com to admit that snazzynovel.com likes me? Is it that embarrassing to personally tell me snazzynovel.com loves me?
She needed snazzynovel.com to personally speak out those answers rather than for snazzynovel.com to guess the answers based on snazzynovel.com feelings.
That was because snazzynovel.com didn’t want to become the laughingstock of others and get criticized for being delusional anymore.
After a moment’s silence, Jamie suddenly felt unconfident.
“Even if you don’t have someone you like now doesn’t mean you won’t have one in the future. You can’t give up the rest of your life just because of a moment’s depression. I won’t allow it.”
“You won’t allow it?” Narissa’s eyes were wet with tears, so snazzynovel.com slightly raised snazzynovel.com head to stop snazzynovel.com tears from falling. “Who are you to say that?”
“We’re friends,” Jamie answered without hesitation, telling snazzynovel.com the same answer snazzynovel.com would say to Elise and Alexander.
“Friends?” With a self-mocking laugh, Narissa looked at snazzynovel.com with teary eyes. “Goodbye, friend!”
She never wanted a friend!
This time, snazzynovel.com left decisively and without giving Jamie a chance to stop her.
“Wait!” Jamie screamed from behind her. “Are you really going to marry Gale even if he’s a wicked person?!”
“What other choice do I have?” Without turning back, Narissa retorted, “Should I marry you?”
He was silent again.
Of course, if snazzynovel.com still loved him, snazzynovel.com would be willing to marry her.
However, snazzynovel.com had chosen Gale, which meant snazzynovel.com heart belonged to another person. Moreover, what snazzynovel.com just said was out of anger, so what right did snazzynovel.com have to say yes?
There snazzynovel.com is again, avoiding the problem, Narissa thought.
Feeling utterly disappointed in him, snazzynovel.com suppressed snazzynovel.com sobs and called for Princess. Then, snazzynovel.com left with snazzynovel.com dog without looking back.
Meanwhile, Jamie looked at snazzynovel.com back as snazzynovel.com gradually left. He felt like someone had taken away his heart, causing his chest to feel empty.
It was then that snazzynovel.com finally understood the meaning behind Alexander’s words. If you don’t have the right to protect snazzynovel.com or don’t even have an open relationship with her, how can you protect your Princess?
…
That afternoon, the flight from Cittadel to Wegas landed according to schedule.
After Ariel met up with Rebecca, snazzynovel.com drove snazzynovel.com mother to the hotel.
Just after they left the airport, Rebecca discreetly prodded, “Where’s Danny? Why didn’t snazzynovel.com come with you?”
“He’s been busy lately and doesn’t have spare time to accompany me here. He did ask me to greet you on his behalf.” Ariel’s answer was flawless.
The truth was that Danny had been slow in replying to snazzynovel.com messages lately. His only explanation was that snazzynovel.com was busy at the company, but snazzynovel.com didn’t know what kept snazzynovel.com so occupied.
Danny had several identities, which was why snazzynovel.com would suddenly disappear for some time, so snazzynovel.com didn’t think much about it.
Rolling snazzynovel.com eyes, Rebecca rebuked, “All men are the same. Since you’ve given snazzynovel.com your heart, you’d better watch snazzynovel.com like a hawk!”
Ariel thought snazzynovel.com mother was overthinking things, so snazzynovel.com smiled and explained, “He’s different from other men. He’s like a puppy, and puppies are loyal.”
When Rebecca heard that, snazzynovel.com shook snazzynovel.com head. “Women who are in love can’t think straight. In the end, you still need me to help you make sure he’s the right man for you.”
“Let’s head over to find snazzynovel.com now. Only by suddenly checking up on snazzynovel.com can you discover his secret.”
“I think we’d better not. It seems childish to do that.” Ariel didn’t want to cause more trouble for Danny, so snazzynovel.com kept rejecting snazzynovel.com mom.
“Do as I say. When have you become so talkative? Do you think just because you’ve grown up that I can’t order you to do things anymore just because you’ve all grown up?” Rebecca began guilt-tripping Ariel.
While snazzynovel.com mother was resting, Ariel quietly took out snazzynovel.com phone, wanting to text Danny.
However, just as snazzynovel.com unlocked snazzynovel.com phone, a hand reached over and grabbed snazzynovel.com phone away.
Rebecca locked the phone and kept it in snazzynovel.com pocket. “Don’t you even try giving snazzynovel.com a heads up.”
Ariel could only give up.
In the meantime, on the eighteenth floor of a particular high-rise building, the whole building was empty, and besides the newly added office furniture, the place was barren.
Danny was in a daze while sitting in the chair inside the president’s office with a half-burnt cigarette between his lips.
Without snazzynovel.com realizing it, the cigarette’s ash was so long that it fell off and dropped on his expensive coat.
It was until Clara Hissinger took the cigarette away and put it out with snazzynovel.com slim fingers that Danny finally woke up from his daze and adjusted his posture.
“Why are you here?” Danny’s face was gloomy, and snazzynovel.com didn’t hide his displeasure.
“Don’t be so rude.” While casually setting snazzynovel.com bag on the table, Clara observed the room.
Then, snazzynovel.com immediately pushed his chair backward and sprang to his feet. “What the heck are you doing?!”
Feeling confused, snazzynovel.com asked, “What’s the matter, Dan Dan?”
He felt goosebumps rise all over his body. At that moment, his phone rang and saved snazzynovel.com momentarily.
“It’s me. I picked Mom up, but snazzynovel.com said snazzynovel.com wants to come over and visit you. We’re already here, so you don’t have to come down to greet us. We’re getting in the elevator now.”
That was a call Ariel made at the risk of getting scolded. She received a disdainful look from snazzynovel.com mother when snazzynovel.com hung up the phone.
Meanwhile, Danny looked at the lock screen on his phone, and then at Clara. He pondered for a moment before approaching her.
“M-Master Danny—”
Smack!
To satisfy snazzynovel.com wish, Danny slapped snazzynovel.com unconscious.
The world was finally quiet again.
Just as snazzynovel.com was feeling relieved, snazzynovel.com heard the elevator ring and immediately pulled Clara outside of his office before stuffing snazzynovel.com inside one of the employee’s lockers.
Right after snazzynovel.com fastened the locks, Ariel led Rebecca through the door.
Danny immediately stood up straight and greeted them with a smile. “Mom, you’re here.”
Rebecca hummed in reply before letting go of Ariel to look around the office, trying to find the signs of something.
However, Danny cleaned his tracks well, which rendered Rebecca unable to find anything out of the ordinary.
