    Daniel''s angry face twists but he purses his lips, listening to me. | hold my finger steady, staring up at him until he nods once and


    looks away. “Fine,” he says in a rush. “You''re right. | won’t do that again, and | didn’t mean it. But Fay, you''ve always had a soft


    spot for him, and he maniptes you.”


    He looks back at me now, shaking his head and putting his hands on my shoulders as | drop my finger. “You chose a life, Fay.


    Didn''t you? A life with my dad, and with me? Ivan destroyed that life that you picked. I... don’t want you to forget that. He’s


    charming, but he’s bitter, and he’s jealous.” Daniel shakes his head slowly.


    And | resent it - every damn second of it.


    Because Daniel? He’s doubting me.


    And above all — | cannot have my team doubting me.


    But as | consider how much | actuallyughed with Ivan this afternoon...


    | don’t know. Does Daniel have a point?

    “Okay,” | say, taking a step closer and nodding, looking up at Daniel. “| — | hear you about my soft spot, all right? I''ll be careful.


    But Daniel,” | say slowly, shaking my head, making him listen. “You either trust me or you don''t. | told youst night — I’m doing


    this because | love your dad. I’m not doing anything for Ivan, okay? And I’m going to need you to remember that in the uing


    weeks.”


    Daniel sighs in relief but then he thinks about my words and snaps his gaze back to me, narrowing his eyes. “Wait, what are you


    saying?”


    “What do you think I’m saying?”


    “Are you...is he going to being around more?” Daniel asks. “Is that why | have to trust you?”


    “He’s going to being around a lot more, Danny,” | say, patting his check with my hand and giving him a pained little smile.


    “And you''re going to have to hang out with him. And pretending you’re mad. And that you’re not into him, like everyone else is.”Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org.
