Chapter 946 Or Should I Marry You?

In fact, Narissa could feel that Jamie cared about her but was unwilling to admit it. However, shecouldn't understand it. Is it that hard for him to admit that he likes me? Is it that embarrassing topersonally tell me he loves me?

She needed him to personally speak out those answers rather than for her to guess the answersbased on her feelings. That was because she didn't want to become the laughingstock of others andget criticized for being delusional anymore.

After a moment's silence, Jamie suddenly felt unconfident. “Even if you don't have someone you likenow doesn’t mean you won't have one in the future. You can't give up the rest of your life justbecause of a moment's depression. I won't allow it.”

"You won't allow it?” Narissa's eyes were wet with tears, so she slightly raised her head to stop hertears from falling. “Who are you to say that?”

"We're friends,” Jamie answered without hesitation, telling her the same answer he would say toElise and Alexander.

“Friends?” With a self-mocking laugh, Narissa looked at him with teary eyes. “Goodbye, friend!”

She never wanted a friend!

This time, she 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 wickedperson?!”

“What other choice do I have?” Without turning back, Narissa retorted, “Should I marry you?”

He was silent again.

Of course, if she still loved him, he would be willing to marry her.

However, she had chosen Gale, which meant her heart belonged to another person. Moreover, whatshe just said was out of anger, so what right did he have to say yes?

There he is again, avoiding the problem, Narissa thought.

Feeling utterly disappointed in him, she suppressed her sobs and called for Princess. Then, she leftwith her dog without looking back.

Meanwhile, Jamie looked at her back as she gradually left. He felt like someone had taken away hisheart, causing his chest to feel empty.

It was then that he finally understood the meaning behind Alexander's words. If you don't have theright to protect her or don't even have an open relationship with her, how can you protect yourPrincess?

That afternoon, the flight from Cittadel to Wegas landed according to schedule.

After Ariel met up with Rebecca, she drove her mother to the hotel.

Just after they left the airport, Rebecca discreetly prodded, “Where's Danny? Why didn't he comewith you?”

"He's been busy lately and doesn't have spare time to accompany me here. He did ask me to greetyou on his behalf.” Ariel's answer was flawless.

The truth was that Danny had been slow in replying to her messages lately. His only explanation wasthat he was busy at the company, but she didn't know what kept him so occupied.

Danny had several identities, which was why he would suddenly disappear for some time, so shedidn't think much about it.

Rolling her eyes, Rebecca rebuked, “All men are the same. Since you've given him your heart, you'dbetter watch him like a hawk!”

Ariel thought her mother was overthinking things, so she smiled and explained, “He's different fromother men. He's like a puppy, and puppies are loyal.”

When Rebecca heard that, she shook her head. “Women who are in love can't think straight. In theend, you still need me to help you make sure he’s the right man for you. Let's head over to replace himnow. Only by suddenly checking up on him 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 forDanny, so she kept rejecting her mom

“Do as I say. When have you become so talkative? Do you think just because you've grown up that Ican't order you to do things anymore just because you've all grown up?” Rebecca began guilt-tripping Ariel.

While her mother was resting, Ariel quietly took out her phone, wanting to text Danny.

However, just as she unlocked her phone, a hand reached over and grabbed her phone away.Rebecca locked the phone and kept it in her pocket. “Don’t you even try giving him a heads up.”Ariel could only give up.

In the meantime, on the eighteenth floor of a particular high-rise building, the whole building wasempty, 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 cigarettebetween his lips. Without him realizing it, the cigarette’s ash was so long that it fell off and droppedon his expensive coat.

It was until Clara Hissinger took the cigarette away and put it out with her slim fingers that Dannyfinally woke up from his daze and adjusted his posture.

"Why are you here?” Danny's face was gloomy, and he didn't hide his displeasure.

"Don’t be so rude.” While casually setting her bag on the table, Clara observed the room.

Then, he immediately pushed his chair backward and sprang to his feet. “What the heck are youdoing?!”

Feeling confused, she asked, “What's the matter, Dan Dan?"

He felt goosebumps rise all over his body. At that moment, his phone rang and saved himmomentarily.

“It's me. I picked Mom up, but she said she wants to come over and visit you. We're already here, soyou 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 hermother when she hung up the phone.

Meanwhile, Danny looked at the lock screen on his phone, and then at Clara. He pondered for amoment before approaching her.

"M-Master Danny—"

Smack!

To satisfy her wish, Danny slapped her unconscious.

The world was finally quiet again.

Just as he was feeling relieved, he heard the elevator ring and immediately pulled Clara outside ofhis office before stuffing her inside one of the employee's lockers.

Right after he 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 replace thesigns of something.

However, Danny cleaned his tracks well, which rendered Rebecca unable to replace anything out of theordinary.
