CHAPTER 24
When they went back to their seats, Mandy took off her sunglasses and summoned all of her courage to invite her dream lover. "Dan, how about we take a swim?" she suggested.
"I'm playing the Fight Against Landlords. Go on your own," he said, without even looking up at her. He was too focused on the phone.
Mandy had already been refused for so many times, so she had gotten used to it. She secretly pinched Sonia a few times on the waist, as if asking her to instigate the entire thing.Sonia groaned in her heart. After what had happened, she didn't want to go into the waters again. However, she knew that if she didn't go, Daniel wouldn't bother going either.She didn't expect that she would risk her life trying to play matchmaker.Sighing, she stretched her hand over the screen of the phone. "We can play at home. We don't get to go to the beach every day, you know. Why don't we enjoy ourselves?"
Daniel narrowed his eyes.

She feigned a smile and swam as far away from him as possible.He stared at her receding figure with his unblinking eyes. The waves danced but he didn't stir. He was in a daze and not even tsunami could placate him.As soon as Sonia was ashore, she began to look around for Mandy. Luckily, she didn't have to search long. Mandy was caught sitting on the beach chair, with her head bowed down."Mandy, you misunderstood. There is nothing going on between the two of us," Sonia explained in a hurry.Mandy suddenly stood up from her chair, raised her hand and slapped her across her face. Writhing with rage, she said, "You are the most despicable person, Sonia. You pretended to help me whereas behind my back you were trying to seduce him! You cheating bitch. Why did you do this to me? Did you want to prove that you are better than me? All these years, I considered you my best friend. And look what you did to me!"In spite of the burning pa

When Daniel finally knew that something was up, it was already too late. The moment he swallowed the cabbage, it felt as if his whole mouth was burning. He coughed with great force, trying to get rid of the spice.Sonia had put a whole bottle of wild pepper into the pot without anyone noticing.Seeing his face flushed and sweaty as he ran to the kitchen to get some water, she was in a good mood. She picked up the chopsticks and began to eat slowly. A smile was playing on her lips.When he returned to the table, Daniel smiled bitterly. "Are you feeling better now? Do you want to punish me again?"She snorted in disgust. In fact, she was far from done yet. As long as she continued to think of him 'cheating' on her, her anger continued to spread like wildfire."You better clean your room today. I swear, don't you even think about catching infectious diseases?" she snapped. She had always thought that he was a clean freak. It seemed,

Sonia was already writing down all her parents' likes and dislikes, so he would avoid annoying them.When he returned and saw the paper, he smiled. "You're so considerate, but if they've become too satisfied with me, do you really think we'd be able to get divorced at this rate? What should I do then?"Sonia froze. She had once believed that they were going to get divorced in three weeks. But with her parents on the line...The more she thought about it, the sadder she became.Daniel pulled her into his arms. "How about we don't divorce until the Spring Festival is over?" he suggested.She furrowed her eyebrows. "Why do we have to wait until then?""It will only be right that I'll be with you to celebrate the new year with my in-laws. If I don't, then won't they ask you questions? What are you going to do then?" explained Daniel.That's right. Thinking about this, Sonia reluctantly nodded. Since her parents knew about it now, th

When evening came, Sonia accompanied her parents back to the hotel. Meanwhile, Daniel was lying all alone in the apartment, feeling a little bored and wanting to read a book. He suddenly received a message from Sonia that said, "Dan, come to the bar opposite our apartment at half past eight. I will be waiting for you there."He touched his chin, feeling quite strange. He knew that she didn't really like bars, so she didn't usually go there. There were only two reasons she would ever go to the bar. One was that she was forced by her two besties, Eva and Mandy, and the other was that she was brokenhearted.Now that her parents had come to visit her, why would she go to a bar? Was it because she was put under too much pressure the moment she was discovered on the marriage register and she needed to relax?Daniel immediately rushed out of the apartment, thinking about how easily she got drunk last time.Inside the bar, lights were flickering, music was blasting

To be honest, Sonia had never imagined that her first date would be with Daniel, let alone in the Ferris wheel.Listening to the relaxing music, looking down at the charming night scene below and enjoying a romantic candlelight dinner, made her almost forget that this was not a real date.Daniel cut a piece of steak and fed it into her mouth."It's delicious!" She smiled brightly, and the dimples on her cheeks rippled under the candlelight. Her eyes were filled with joy and innocence. He couldn't help but spoil her a little more. After eating dinner, she looked at him with a playful smile and asked, "Dan, do you often use this trick to deceive women?"He smiled beautifully and replied, "You are so silly and easy to please. I haven't met a woman as foolish as you."She wrinkled her nose and stuck out her tongue. "I won't be deceived by you. I have an excellent pair of eyes."He took a si

In the coffee shop, Sonia sat with her head bowed down.With nothing else to do, she preoccupied herself with stirring the coffee in her cup. An awkward silence persisted.James felt a wave of disappointment in his heart. There seemed to be an invisible distance between them, like a white mist, spreading around. And it expanded slowly, making her farther and farther away from him. But the worst part was, he could do nothing to stop it.'Is it because of my wedding ceremony or perhaps it has something to do with the man who attended the engagement party with her?' His thoughts took him to dark places."How are you doing these days?" he asked, attempting to break the deafening silence."Not bad." She pursed her lips and asked, "James, are you here to invite me for the wedding?" She couldn't take it anymore and wished to know the reason behind his sudden call.He trembled violently, a touch of bitterness emerging i

In the afternoon, Lucy and Bob went out to see houses.In the meantime, Sonia drew up a property agreement. It said, "After the marriage, all properties under our names will remain our own, including all real estate properties. After the divorce, neither of us will be allowed to take any property in the other's name."She had thought that Daniel would pull a long face when he read the agreement, but contrary to what she had expected, he remained as calm as a lake, with zero emotions on his face.Were his face muscles stiff because of the stimulation?She was extremely worried. To be honest, the last thing she wanted was to hurt his fragile ego, but his reaction was hard to predict. When it came to money, there were a lot of couples who ended up hurting each other, so she had to prepare for the future."Daniel, I honestly don't mean anything by this. You see, there are a lot of couples who fight during their divorce ove

"No... I didn't..." Suddenly tongue-tied, Sonia desperately scrabbled for a coherent response to Daniel's loaded question, but her brain seemed to have stopped functioning at that moment."The way you looked at me revealed what you were thinking. You want me." Amusement and dark promise tinted his voice. His fingers slowly, deliberately slid down from her neck to rest on her sleep shirt placket, which was placed directly over her pounding chest. The warmth of his fingertips seemed to burn a hole in her pajamas. The heat started to burn her skin and transfer to her heart, which seemed to spontaneously combust."I'm sleepy," she announced to the room at large. All of the fight drained out of her. She could only close her eyes and feign sleep.With a mischievous smile on his lips, Daniel slowly lowered his head to kiss her lightly on the lips. With him that close, she could smell the refreshing aroma of his body wash pervading the air that she breathed.
