Not A Small-Town Girl

“Miss Darling doesn’t like me calling you like that. | will

change." Cheryl said to show that she was a sensible girl.

That made Danielle seem unsophisticated.

"Congratulatigns to Miss Darling on

and there are human traffickess who

brides. It seems that Miss-Darling is

used to living there."

----

Cheryl implied that Danielle was living a messy life, and

that she wasn’t brought up properly. Furthermore, she

wasn’t a virtuous woman.

Danielle raised her eyebrows and smiled. "You know all

this? Did you used to be a child bride?"

“Miss Darling is really humorous!" Cheryl’s face turned

cold.

“You were the one who started to make jokes and now you

can’t take it?” Danielle gave Cheryl a blank look and

walked to the living room.

David didn’t say anything, but his face also looked dark.

Then he followed Danielle to the living room.

“Mrs. Charrington, this is a dessert specially made for you.

The maid brought up a plate of beautifully-shaped cakes

and a glass of milk.

----

Danielle picked up a piece of cake and took a bite. Her

beautiful eyes lit up. "This is delicious."

“Mr. Charrington said you like desserts, so he specifically

instructed the chefs to make different desserts daily so you

can eat them when you are here." The little maid was a

godsend especially when she was very fond of David and

Danielle.

Danielle smiled and revealed her white teeth. Then she

made a heart shape with her hands. She would never have

done this before, but she learned these actions from

watching a lot of romance dramas online.

Danielle knew that she had a cold personality and no

experience in love, but she was willing to learn.

David was amused by Danielle’s action. He smiled and

reached out to stroke Danielle’s hair. "I’m glad you like it."

Lost in their own loving world, the couple remained entirely

oblivious to Cheryl who stood awkwardly to the side.

----

At that moment, Cheryl fumed silently and her eyes

seemed to be on fire. She knew that Danielle was

deliberately putting on this lovey-dovey display for her to

see, thinking it would break her. Cheryl thought, ’What a

joke! She will definitely pay for this!"

Nathan cleared his throat. "Please remember that we have

a guest."

“Are you having a sore throat?" David asked sternly.

“Mr. Charrington, Miss Locke is still here." Nathan wanted

to faint.
