When Vincent got there, Donald was already sitting at the bar. It seemed like he had drunk a lot.
The surroundings were completely empty and no one was there.
He walked over, sat next to Donald, ordered a glass of wine, and said casually, âGet dumped again?â
Donald couldnât accept his word, âWhy the hell do you use the word âagainâ?â
Vincent glanced at him. âThen tell me why are you drinking in the afternoon.â
Donald turned to look at him. His arms were casually placed on the resting of the chair. He asked after think for a while, âPlease tell me. If a girl is full of gratitude to you, she thinks that if it werenât for you, her whole life would be ruined. Do you think this can be thought to be âloveâ?â
Vincent took the wine from the bartender, took a sip, and then answered indifferently with a question, âThink about the question from another perspective. If the person who is grateful to you is an old woman in her 40s or 50s, would you care about her attitude?â
Donald was like, what the hell?
He was speechless of the question.
Vincent said slowly, âIt doesnât matter she loved you or not. You are the one that matters. How you want to get along with her? If you want to stay with her in the future, then pursuit her...â
Donald retracted his gaze and continued drinking, âYou donât get it. Itâs not a question of whether I should pursuit her or not. Besides...sheâs not a playgirl.â
Vincent sneered, âHow can you think I donât understand this? Arenât you afraid of being rejected by her? You are afraid that she only regards you as a savior and has no feeling for you.â
Donald, a rich boy, could get whatever he wanted since he was a child. Wherever he went, the girls would take the initiative to get close to him.
He has always been the leader in a relationship.
He really hadnât never seen him worried about something that was uncertain.
Donald said, âIâm not afraid of rejection, Iâm...â
âJust donât want to ruined my image in her mind.â
âIsnât that the same meaning?â
Donald didnât want to talk.
Vincent added, âOkay. Since you said that she is not a playgirl, then donât ask her for anything casually. Consider carefully that what you want is just a short relationship or you want to marry her. If youâre just getting bored during this time and want to find someone to relax, then find those like-
minded.â
Donald was silent.
Did he look so unreliable?
Stella and Sherry had said so about him. Now Vincent said even more.
Vincent got up, raised his head and drank all the wine from the glass, âIâve already said what I need to say. I am leaving.â
âHey, you havenât even stayed for even five minutes!â
âItâs your honor to have me here talk nonsense with you for five minutes.â
After speaking, Vincent turned and left.
Donald was the only one left on the bar.
...
In the evening, Daphne worked overtime and returned to Mr. Shawnâs house at eleven oâclock.
She gently opened the door, and saw Donald sitting on the sofa in the living room. He was wearing the gold-rimmed glasses he usually wears at work and he was reading a book.
Daphne took off her shoes and walked over, whispering, âHasnât Mr. Shawn sleep yet?â
Donald looked up at her, âDid you work overtime again today?â
Daphne nodded and said after a little while of silence, âIsnât that Steve Billingsâ case are going to trial? Iâm still sorting out some document and information...â
Hearing this, Donald smiled, closed the book and said, âJudging from your word, you are determined to kill my job.â
Daphne waved her hand, âNo, no, I know that as a lawyer, Mr. Shawn has your own job to do. I just want to report the truth so that the public can know what kind of person Steve Billings is.â
After a long while, Donald said, âIf I win the case, then in your opinion, do you think you will continue to uphold your justice and belief? Or will you think Iâm just a liar? Someone who would do anything even protect a murderer just for profits and reputation?â
Hearing what he said, Daphne was stunned for a long time, not knowing how to answer.
Donald was not in a hurry. He just waited for her quietly.
After a long time, Daphne said slowly, âMr. Shawn is not a liar, and there is nothing wrong with what you taught me. No matter what Mr. Shawn chooses, it will not change the way I see you in my mind. You are the one who drag me out of desperate and tell me thereâs still hope in front when I am at my most hopeless moment. And you will forever be that one.â
As she finished her word, Donaldâs brows moved slightly. He was momentarily relieved.
Daphne smiled, âThen Iâll go wash up first. Goodnight, Mr. Shawn.â
She was getting up when Donald grabbed her wrist.
Daphne paused, âMr. Shawn...Is there anything else?â
Donald looked up at her. âHarris has been captured.â
Daphneâs eyes lit up, âReally? When?â
Donald didnât answer but asked, âSo, are you moving out?â
Hearing this, the smile on Daphneâs face froze. her voice became a little stuttering, âI can move out... Anytime you want... Sorry for disturbing Mr.
Shawn recently. Tomorrow Iâll...â
Donald interrupted her and continued, âI mean, if you donât want to go, you can stay here as long as you want.â
Daphne was even more confused about what he meant. After thinking of a possibility quickly in her mind, she was full of uncertainty. She felt that even her breath was trembling, âMr. Shawn...â
Donald said, âIâve been thinking about a question today. The reason why you keep this pen cap is because you are grateful, or...you love me...â
Hearing the last few words, Daphneâs face flushed in no time. She felt her ears were so hot. She hesitated, not knowing what to say for a while.

His voice was low, and he just looked at her like that. His dark eyes were burning hot and straightforward.
Daphne has been busy studying and working in recent years, but he is not an idiot about love.
She certainly understood what he meant.
After thinking and struggling for half minutes, she slowly sat down.
Donald looked at her, tilting his head slightly.
Daphneâs face was flushed and her voice stuttered, âI... Iâm not leaving.â
A great smile gently appeared on Donaldâs face. He retracted the hand holding her wrist, âOkay, letâs go to bed first. And Iâll help you move over after you get off work tomorrow.â
Daphne hurriedly said, âNo, no, I donât have much stuff to move. I can just take a cabâ
Since the accident at home, Daphne has gone to college alone. She has been alone wherever she went. She had long been used to doing everything by herself.
For things like moving home, she can just pack her luggage and order an Uber. She had already familiar with all these procedures.
Donald said, âNah, Iâll pick you up after you get off work tomorrow.â
Before Daphne could answer, he got up and walked straight to the bedroom.
When he got to the door, he looked back at Daphne and whispered, âGood night.â
A smile uncontrollably appeared on Daphneâs face, âGood night, Mr. Shawn.â
