Chapter 40: Chapter 40

Taking in the cold air, Daniel approached Sisley and gently held her hand. Raising her head, Sisley stared at him with her misty eyes. He reassured her with a smile, stroking her hand which made Sisley felt a little better.

Daniel then led Sisley towards Evangeline's direction. His eyes flicked to Eric before he stared at the stunning cold woman. "Evangeline, we have something to tell you. Can we talk . . . in private?"

"Why not talk here?" Evangeline said with a fake smile.

Frowning, Daniel urged. "It's not something to be discussed outside." And he smiled, drawing his dimple. "Let Sisley and I treat you to dinner."

Daniel didn't know why he didn't include Eric. Being a gentleman that he was, it was not like him. But he couldn't help himself. Towards Eric, he felt complicated. Like he was inferior or something for the reason that Evangeline treated the guy so differently than him.
