Zoe asked Danielle in a cool tone, “Danielle, ording to your logic, how should Han show that he cares about you?”


    Danielle hesitated, caught off guard by the question, and stopped wiping her tears, suddenly at a loss for words.


    Keeping her face emotionless, Zoe pressed on, “Do you expect Han to cling to you like a husband, never leaving your side?”This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.


    Danielle struggled for words.


    Seemingly struck deeply, her cheeks quickly flushed, extending to her ears.


    After a brief look at


    Han, she lowered her head.


    Oblivious to Danielle’s distressed reaction, Han was fixated on Zoe’s blunt words and eximed in shock, “Zoe, what are you saying?”


    His voice was clearly filled with confusion and disapproval.


    I looked at Zoe, worried.


    Zoe always had a quick temper, and with her temperament, responding to such sharp remarks might lead her to cause a bigger scene.


    The restaurant was bustling at this hour and yet to be cleared, so Zoe losing her cool would certainly make us the center of attention.


    At that moment, the other patrons were giving us curious looks.


    Just as I was about to step in, something unexpected urred.


    Zoe stayed remarkably calm, offered Han and Danielle one final look, then stood up and headed for the door without any further exnation.


    “Zoe!” Han, taken aback, quickly stood up to follow her, but Danielle, reacting swiftly, held him back.


    “Han, please don’t go.


    ” Danielle’s voice was thick with tears, her face streaked with them as she wept, yet her hands held tightly onto Han, as if she had seen this momenting.


    To keep Han from leaving, she burst into tears again and pleaded, “Han, please stay.


    The maid has been mean to me.


    Are you really going to leave your sister for another woman?”


    Before Han could say anything, the maid turned white.


    She looked at Han nervously, worried about his reaction, and stuttered, “Sir, I didn’t mean to upset your sister.


    I just identally served the wrong dish, one that she usually enjoys…”


    “You’re lying!” Danielle’s crying grew louder, and she looked utterly wronged.


    “You wicked maid, you must think my brother is ignoring me, so you did it deliberately!”


    Then, she sobbed even harder.


    The situation descended into chaos.


    Caleb and I stood there, helplessly watching the absurdity unfold.


    Although we were still hungry, the escting drama had robbed us of our appetite.


    “Danielle, you’re wrong.


    ” Han massaged his forehead, overwhelmed with frustration, yet he tried to calm Danielle.


    “The maid didn’t target you on purpose, and I haven’t been neglecting you.


    You’re overthinking this.


    Besides, Zoe is a kind person, and there’s no need for you to attack her like this…”


    With that, Han resumed his seat, ying the role of the protective brother.


    He continued trying to soothe Danielle’s upset feelings while attempting to repair her rtionship with Zoe, though it was proving to be a difficult task.
