Chapter 114 "Xavier, itâs really fine. Donât be afraid. Zeus really doesnât bite. It thinks youâre playing with it."
Danielle comforted Xavier gently. Xavier seemed to be really frightened and was still hugging Jaden tightly.
Xavier heard Danielleâs voice and poked his head out of Jadenâs arms. Only then did he suddenly remember that he had been so frightened that he had run away and left Danielle behind.
This made Xavier deeply blame himself. âIâm not a good brother. How could I abandon Danielle at this time?â
He said, "Iâm sorry, Danielle. Just now..."
Danielle saw Xavier blaming himself and could not help but laugh. "Xavier, Zeus is afraid of me. It doesnât dare to bite me."
When Xavier heard Danielleâs words and saw that everyone around him was looking at him, his face instantly turned red in Jadenâs arms.
"Um, can you put me down?" Xavier was so embarrassed.
"Are you feeling better?" Jaden glanced at Xavier.
"Yes, thank you for saving my life..." Xavierâs face was flushed red. He nodded and got down from Jadenâs arms. As soon as his feet touched the ground, his legs went soft and his face fell down. He was so frightened that his face turned pale.
âItâs all over. I just dodged the wolfâs chase, and now my face is about to fall to the ground. My face is going to be ruined! What a series of misfortunes Iâve been having lately. Just as Xavier was ready for his handsome face to be destroyed, Jaden pulled him back into his arms.
Danielle stood at the side with a smile. Her beautiful eyes darted back and forth between Xavier and Jaden. She was very interested.
She thought, âDid I just stumble upon a major scoop? Is this scoop ripe for the picking? Xavier and Jaden Johnson do seem like a good match. Iâll savor this piece of gossip as a tribute.
David looked at her starry eyes and could not help but find it funny. He did not expect Danielle to like gossip.
Currently, Danielle was not the only person who was watching the show. The other three were also watching with relish.
Jaden glanced at the people around him and carried Xavier into the living room.
The few people outside the door entered the living room. Of course, they had to know what was happening. They had completely forgotten that they were still poisoned.
They had known each other since they were young. In the early years, most of the Johnson familyâs businesses were illegal.
Since Jaden took over the family business, he had gradually legitimized their operations. However, some of those people from the darker days were still around, which spoke volumes about Jadenâs methods It was understandable that they were interested. Jaden was usually cold and had never been so gentle to anyone.
Jaden saw that the people in the living room were curious, and Xavier buried his head into the pillow shyly, not daring to look up. "David, can you introduce us?"
David was willing to cooperate with Jaden to change the topic. He held Danielleâs hand and introduced her to everyone. "My fiancée, Danielle, is also the Darling familyâs recently found biological daughter."
When Xavier heard this, he was no longer shy and wanted to support Danielle. "Yes, sheâs our familyâs little princess. David, you have to dote on Danielle in the future. Also, you have to control your wolf."
Danielle was amused by Xavier.
"I think Iâve seen you somewhere before, but I canât remember where." Joshua scratched his head instill around, which spoke volumes about Jadenâs methods It was understandable that they were interested. Jaden was usually cold and had never been so gentle to anyone.

"I think Iâve seen you somewhere before, but I canât remember where." Joshua scratched his head in confusion.
"Youâre really stupid. The last time we were at the club, Miss Darling was slightly drunk and beat up a hooligan." Cameron rolled his eyes at Joshua.
"This guy must have been poisoned silly!â
"What? Danielle, when did you go to the club? The hooligans didnât bully you, did they? Next time, take me with you. I will protect you," Xavier said confidently, completely forgetting that he needed to be protected too.
"Do you want to protect Miss Darling? I think Miss Darling has to protect you! You were scared to tears by a wolf." Joshua held his belly and laughed until he was about to cry.
Xavier wanted to retort, but he felt that Joshua was telling the truth. For a moment, he did not know how to refute. He gritted his teeth in anger and stared at Joshua who was laughing with his eyes wide open.
âNo wonder Matthew always says that Xavier is not very articulate. Just as Danielle was about to say something in defense of Xavier, she heard Joshua, who had just been laughing heartily, suddenly exclaim in pain.
"Jaden, why did you hit me?" Joshua held his head and looked at Jaden with resentment.
"Youâre too noisy," Jaden said coldly.
"I think youâre..." Before Joshua could finish speaking, his mouth was covered by Andrew.
"Miss Darling, Iâm sorry. Joshua has been poisoned silly." Cameron teased.
"Itâs fine. Iâll help you detoxify the poison first." Danielle opened her small bag and took out a needle bag. She then took out the traditional medicine she had concocted and handed it to David.
"Get someone to boil the traditional medicine. They have to drink it after the acupuncture." she ordered David very naturally.
David replied, "Alright."
Not A Small Town Girl (Danielle and David)
Other than Xavier, the others in the living room did not expect David to dote on Danielle so much. She ordered him around very naturally as if she usually did this.
David had fallen in love.
"Who wants to go first? The acupuncture process can be a bit painful." Danielle had not expected that the acupuncture would make Xavier cry yesterday. She really feared that today she might end up making Davidâs friend cry as well.
"Iâll go first. Thank you, Miss Darling." Jaden nodded.
"Itâs fine. David is quite worried about you." As Danielle spoke, she diverted his attention and quickly placed the silver needles on the acupuncture points.
Xavier sat at the side and waited for Jaden to cry with interest. Yesterday, he had cried during the acupuncture.
Danielle quickly inserted a few needles, but Jaden did not react. It was as if he did not have any pain nerves.
"Arenât you afraid of pain?" Xavier asked indignantly.
Jaden glanced at the pouting Xavier and nodded cooperatively. "It doesnât hurt."
Suddenly, Xavier was dejected. âCanât be just me whoâs this afraid of pain, right? Isnât there anyone else who feels the same? Oh heavens.
Jaden watched as Xavierâs eyes darted around and did not know what Xavier was thinking.
It didnât take long for Jaden to finish his acupuncture.
Next, Danielle performed acupuncture on Cameron. As soon as the needle landed, Cameronâs forehead began to sweat. Jaden did not react at all just now, which made me think that it really did not hurt. Jaden is indeed like a monster.â
More than ten needles landed. Cameronâs face was numb from the pain, but he did not make a sound. Then, Danielle spent another hour administering acupuncture to Andrew and Joshua. As expected, although the few of them were sweating from the pain, they did not make a sound.
Xavier thought, âItâs too embarrassing! I shouldnât have come here just to watch the excitement today. Not a single person cried, and instead, I ended up being the spectacle... I need to quickly attend some events to restore my self-confidence.
