Chapter 355 The Truth Comes Out

Caught up in the moment, Aiden let something slip from her subconscious. With a light kick of herhigh heel, she unintentionally revealed more than she intended to Daniel.

Daniel looked at her, feigning shock, "Why would I be responsible for raising your kids? I'm notabout to be a stepfather to eight kids, no way!"

"You... I ought to kick you to death!" Aiden was so annoyed that she landed another kick on Daniel.

Brittany, having had enough of the scene, placed her hands on her hips and scolded indignantly, "Inbroad daylight, manhandling a man like that, have you no shame?"

"Brittany, are you jealous? Or is it jealousy? Daniel's not your man; he is my friend. Me hitting himhas nothing to do with you!" Aiden retorted, never one to let herself be outdone verbally.

Brittany didn't want to keep arguing with Aiden over a country boy. It wasn't worth it. So, she turnedto Daniel and spat, "Shameless!"

Daniel chose not to engage with either of them, knowing that taking sides wouldn't end well. So, hewent on to open the vodka bottles and poured all twelve into the stainless steel basin.

Next, he started scrubbing the herbs as if washing clothes, leaving Aiden looking on inbemusement.

"Daniel, are you doing laundry? I know these are discarded herbs, but they are still herbs! Washingthem like that will ruin them! And to think you wasted twelve bottles of vodka on worthless herbs—it's such a pity!"

"If you don't know what you're talking about, it's best to just keep quiet and watch," Daniel retortedshortly.

Aiden immediately bristled at his tone. "Are you snapping at me?"

With that, she kicked Daniel's behind so hard that he almost fell face-first into the basin.

Regaining his balance, Daniel turned and asked incredulously, "Did you just kick me?"

"Yes, I did! What are you going to do about it?"

"If you dare kick me again, believe me, I'll hit back! Wherever you kick, I'll strike. You kick me once,I'll hit you ten times!"

"You wouldn't dare!"

"Try me—if you kick, I'll do it!"

Aiden was so irritated that she very much wanted to kick Daniel again; she found the previous kickquite amusing. But she hesitated, worried that Daniel might actually follow through on his threat.

Should she run? Or let him hit her?

As she pondered her options, Aiden’s face couldn't help but flush with embarrassment.

Brittany, on the other hand, was deeply jealous, though she tried her best not to show it.

"Country boy, watch yourself! It's work hours, and here you are flirting with a pretty girl. Don't makeme tell Jessica," she menaced.

"Do you have to tattle everything to Jessica? How old are you? Can’t you handle your own issues?"

"Fine! I'll handle it myself!"

Brittany then kicked Daniel hard on the backside, with so much force that he toppled over.

Rubbing his sore backside, Daniel asked in disbelief, "Do you actually think I wouldn't dare to hityou back?"
