Chapter 695 The Best Opportunity


    Now was the perfect chance for Smart; if he could get to the base of that tree, he might glimpse a beautiful sight. "I am Belle''s knight in shining armor; I''m here to protect her. So before shees down from the tree, none of you can go there! Don''t even think about taking advantage of Belle!" Daniel dered, blocking the way.


    Smart fumed internally. This rare opportunity was slipping away, possibly the best chance he would ever get. If only he could move past and look up, he could witness a scene of great beauty. Yet he was thwarted by the country boy. If not for the difference in strength, Smart would have loved to kick Danny away.


    "Country boy, do you think I''m like you? How could I take advantage of Belle? It''s more likely you, a bumpkin, just ran from under that tree after seeing something inappropriate, didn''t you?"


    "I''m a decent man; I haven''t seen a thing. I didn''t even look up!"


    Danny refused to admit anything; he''d always cared about maintaining his image as a proper man in the eyes of thedies.


    By now, Belle had descended from the tree, addressing Smart like a queen. "Smart, did you finish chopping the wood?"


    "No!"


    "What are you dilly-dallying here for? Hurry up and chop the wood; we need more than just for building the cabin." "Yes!"


    Smart dared not refuse Belle and reluctantly agreed before stomping off back into the woods to continue chopping wood.


    Belle sashayed over, her gaze locking onto Danny. "Country boy, what exactly did you see just now?"


    "I didn''t see anything!" Danny naturally wouldn''t confess.


    "Nothing? You answer so quickly. Don''t you need to think about it first and then decide what to say?"


    "I''m telling the truth; there''s nothing to consider."


    "Hmph!"


    With a coldugh, Belle grabbed Danny''s ear and demanded fiercely, yboy, dare you lie to me


    me the truth, what did you see?"

    "I really didn''t see anything! I swear to heaven, if I saw what kind of underwear Belle is wearing, may lightning strike me down!" The moment Danny made his vow.
