"Alright," Daniel responded as he forced a smile. Even though he felt lonely and sad, he didn't want to make things difficult for her.
He had already said that he was willing to wait for her.
As long as Sienna was by his side, he believed he could win her heart and her everything.
At that moment, the doorbell rang.
Feeling curious, Sienna looked at Daniel and he glanced toward the door.
"Who would come to visit you at this time?" Sienna asked curiously.
Daniel thought for a moment then replied, "It must be Finley."
He stood up and instructed, "You continue eating. I'll go see what he needs." With that, he left the living room and headed toward the door.
After opening the door, Daniel's expression instantly turned solemn.
It was Vivian.
After she got out of the car, she had thought for a long time. She couldn't bear to give up on Daniel like this, so she decided to talk to him again.
"Daniel, I—"
Daniel immediately stepped out before closing the door. He grabbed her arm and led her away.
He didn't want Vivian to know that Sienna was in his house, let alone that they had got back together.
If Vivian found out, it wouldn't benefit Sienna in any way and might even cause unnecessary trouble for her.
"What are you doing here?" Daniel asked as he was unhappy. After that, he dragged her toward the courtyard.
Feeling Daniel's roughness and displeasure, Vivian explained, "Daniel, I'm here to have a talk with you. I'm sorry for calling you a scumbag earlier. I was just upset. It wasn't sincere."
"I am a scumbag, you're not wrong," Daniel said as he dragged her outside the courtyard. After he closed the iron gate, he stood at the gate and said, "We can be friends, but there's no need for us to talk abou feelings."
"Let's sit down and talk things over.
Can we start over?" Vivian pleaded. She looked at his indifferent expression with teary eyes and choked, "I'm different now. I'm not arrogant anymore. I truly love you."
Daniel resigned. After pausing for a few seconds, he said seriously, "Vivian, to be honest with you, I have no feelings for you whatsoever, I still get in touch with you just because you're closely related to the investigation of this case.
"Of course, I also hope you can act as an informant for the police and provide us with valuable clues and evidence.
"Let me make it clear, I only get in
touch
you just because of work
and that's it. Don't think
about
beyond work, understand?"Contents belong to NovelDrama.Org
Tears streamed down Vivian's face. This time, she was truly upset and cried.
Biting her lower lip, she was unwilling to accept this result. She cried out, "For you, I've already..."
Daniel's expression turned grim. He asked, "You've already what?"
Vivian stopped speaking.
Staring at her, Daniel was puzzled.
Meanwhile, Sienna watched the scene from the window. She felt a bit complicated in her emotions.
Why did Vivian come to Daniel's house? And why was Daniel so cautious and nervous? He even nervously led Vivian away.
Sienna believed in Daniel, but she couldn't understand. She felt a bit bitter and sad for some reason.
After a while, Daniel came back alone.
After sitting down at the table, he noticed Sienna's strange expression. She seemed listless and down.
Losing in thought, Sienna ate the food with the cutlery.
Daniel picked up a piece of meat for her. He said lightly, "It wasn't Finley, it was Vivian. She came to ask for reconciliation with me." Sienna was so nervous that she froze in place. She just stared at him.
Noticing her reaction, Daniel felt inexplicably happy.
