Substitute Bride For Young Master
Chapter 86's
“Didn't you feel a little unfair to me? We are not too often together, I can not be maximal in ensnaring your heart.” Daniel was still trying to joke around even though it felt like his heart had just moved down his throat.
Hearing that remark, Lorie could only smile helplessly and said, “Indeed it's not fair, but the agreement remains the agreement. Thank you for your attention all this time. You can give it to other women who will reciprocate your feelings.”
Daniel took a long breath.
“So really can't?” tanyakanya.
“Hm.”
“Is it because of Raymond?”
“Ya.”
“Are you going with him?”
“You don't need to think about it because I don't know either.” Lorie got up and took Daniel's coat off his shoulder.
“I really appreciate everything you do, but in the future if we meet again, I hope it's just for work,” he said again with a gentle smile.
“Alright .. how about dinner for the last time? Give me a decent farewell.” Daniel pleaded with a helpless expression.
“Mmm .. okay. Seven o'clock pick me up here.”
“OK. See you later tonight.”
Daniel rubbed Lorie's cheek before turning around and leaving. Everything he had to do was done, in the end, he could only accept the decision with his chest.
Just as the man was about to turn out of the garden, the silhouette of a cold and indifferent-looking woman was leaning against the wall and gazing towards him with great sympathy. Daniel knew her, she was a woman who threatened to make her handicap for life if it hurt Lorie.
“Broken heart?” ask the woman while commenting on a smile that Daniel thinks looks like an insinuation.
“Urus is your own business,” reply Daniel with ketus.
“Just relax, your hormones will neutralize all that pain in no time. Maybe the next two months you will meet a beautiful girl and start crazy again to him.”
Daniel did not bother to bully the strange woman. He lifted his chin up high and walked past it without turning his head.

Dinner was arranged entirely by Daniel. He ordered a western-style restaurant in the middle of the city. That place was a reference from one of his business associates. And when he asked his assistant to check, the restaurant was indeed very nice and luxurious. In particular he asked for a bouquet of fresh flowers to be placed in the corners of the room, as well as two large red candles to be placed on the table.
In a blink Daniel's eyes were filled with flames. He clasped Lorie's fingers and helped her sit in a chair covered in dark red velvet.
“Are you touched?” asked the man, smiling widely.
“Long if I say no,” replied Lorie. His sharp and firm bead reflected the flame of the candle on the table.
Daniel looked at that beautiful face and was lost for a moment. Lorie's beauty can't be said to be extraordinary, but her innate and character is very attractive: strong, firm, straightforward, as it is. Tonight, the peach-colored satin dress worn by her made Lorie seem even more attractive. It looks like a sweet and seductive peach. How could he not be crazy about her?
“You want to order our dinner or keep looking at me like that?” lorie Goda.
Daniel cleared his throat and said, “Actually I'd rather look at you, but .. well, we're coming for dinner, so ..”
At first glance Lorie could see Daniel's face flushed slightly. Can he be ashamed too? Lorie almost laughed due to the bumbling appearance of the man.
“Did your shameful ignorance experience a drop in level? Usually you are very thick-faced,” ledek Lorie.
“That's because our status is now just friends. There's no way I'm teasing my friend, is there?”
Daniel's tone of voice sounded a little bitter, and it made Lorie not want to tease him anymore.
“I'm really sorry, I ...”
“Forget. Being friends with you is more than enough.” Daniel handed the menu book in front of Lorie. “Quickly choose, which one do you want to eat?”
Lorie took the menu book and chose a dish that was not spicy. Since entering the second trimester, her stomach acid has been a bit problematic. After he had finished choosing, he returned the book to Daniel.
“Are you going to Dubai or stay here?” ask Daniel while choosing a menu for himself. Since Lorie was pregnant, she did not dare to order champagne.
“It ... has not been decided yet,” replied Lorie while turning her gaze the other way. He didn't want Daniel to find him lying.
Lorie is determined, for the business of work later, she will ask Jenty for help to represent her. There is no ambiguous romantic relationship anymore, no romantic relationship with any man. Just him and his son. Just the two of them .. that was more than enough.
“In the future, never hesitate to ask for help from me.” Daniel raises a glass of water and toasts with Lorie. “Friends?”
“Friends,” reply Lorie while smiling gently.
A subtle clanking sound rang out in the air as the sides of their glasses touched each other. The smile on Lorie's face grew wider. He felt that another burden had just been lifted off his shoulders.
