Chapter 174 - Friend's approval

At Claire's house

Robert and Scott were staring dumbfounded at Daniella who was smiling from ear to ear.

Robert rose a brow, "why would we believe you?" he said in suspicion.

Scott smiled, "I believe her," he turned to Robert, "she might be witchy and bitchy but she's not a crazy woman who would fake a proposal," he narrowed his eyes as he jerked his head at Daniella's direction, "right? Your brain is still fine right?" he said in skepticism.

Daniella rolled her eyes, after telling her friends about her engagement, Robert and Scott seemed to be having a problem accepting it while Claire, Jenna, and Irene were all excited to hear the news.

Robert got up, he stood next to her and held both of her shoulders.

"Are you sure about this?" he pursed his lips together, and put a little pressure on his hands, "you said you didn't want to get married."

Daniela sighed, she could read Robert's mind, how he's against it.

"I am sure Robert. Didn't you tell me that I deserve to be happy as well?" she took a sighed, removed Robert's hands and took a step back, "wasn't it you who asked me to date, Evan? why are you changing your mind?"

"Is that even a question?" his face screwed, "his mother killed your mom, his father took your mother's corpse and his sister in law killed your brother and don't let me start with-"

Robert paused when he noticed Daniella's face. It has darkened while her hands were clenching in anger.

"Continue Robert," she said firmly, one could hear how hard she's suppressing her anger, "continue and I will pull out your teeth one by one."

Robert sighed, "I am going to shut up," he lifted both hands in the air, "what's your plan then? Are you going to forgive them?"

Daniella blinked, without hesitation, she said, "no, I won't forgive them but I won't get revenge anymore. They are Evan's family," her voice has turned soft as she mentioned Evan's name.

"What about Dr. Lee? Don't you think it's unfair that you forgive Evan's mother but not him and oh!" he paused and let out a sarcastic laugh, "what about his daughter Camille?"

Daniella was stunned for a moment, "as long as she doesn't touch Evan, I won't touch her."

Anger rushed over Robert's upon hearing it. He took a step forward, hands on his side balled into fists, "what about my father Daniella? What about me?"

Daniella pressed her lips, she could read his plan. How he wanted to have revenge on Elise but he couldn't let him hurt her, and the last thing she wanted was for Evan and Robert to fight.

"Don't touch her Robert," she gulped hard, stretched her hands and held his, "l really want to live a peaceful life, Robert. I am tired of fighting, how come some people can live a normal life but not me?" her voice cracked, "I just want him and I don't know why."

Robert knew why and it's because of her heightened emotion. Now that she got a taste of a normal life, she started to crave for it even more. He pitied her, the way her face gloom and heart ached, it pained him.

He knew that it shouldn't be like this. She's Daniella, she could have not told them about the engagement and asked for their approval but she did, and it's because she respected them.

So he took in a deep breath, her hands holding his clenched fists withdrew, and he held it immediately.

He pulled her to hug, shes really small for his height so he rested his chin on her head and let out a harsh breathe, "I won't touch her but you should know the danger. The people we torture might come back and the two senators in the warehouse, what are we going to do about them?" he said in a whisper.

Daniella wrapped her arms around his waist, she really felt comfortable with his embrace, "I will think about it."

At the Gentleman's bar.

Ken was standing behind the counter while Evan and glen were sitting on the high chair opposite of him.

He served him a drink, after biting the bar, he decided to learn how to mix alcohol mostly for personal use.

"Wheres Daniella?" glen asked, his eyes were looking at the entrance, watching the people as they come and go.

"Probably at Claire's house. She said shell bring Robert and Scott here."

As he said that, a woman with two hulks like men behind her entered the bar.

"Babe!"

Daniella's voice almost exceeded the music playing in the bar, a huge smile was on her lips as she waved a hand in the air.

Glen and Evan got up, they proceeded to the table that was reserved for them.

"Congratulation Evan," Scott said with a smile, he stretched a hand and when Evan accepted it he patted a hand on his shoulder, "you're a very lucky man."

Evan chuckled, "thank you."

Robert held himself from saying something stupid, so he plastered a smile and patted Evan's back, "you're lucky indeed, you have no idea how lucky you are."

Evan could hear the bitterness in Robert's voice, "I know," he turned to Daniella, "I know what she had done for me," his eyes squinted, they were speaking hundreds of emotion as he stared at Daniella, "I will do right by her."

He turned to Robert, his eyes became cold, "I will do right by her Robert. There's no need for you to worry."

Robert sighed, "you should or I will hunt you down and burn you."

Daniella's face flattened up hearing it, "Robert are you gonna stop or you're gonna stop?" she said with a slight threat.

Robert scoffed, he sat down next to Scott who was busy talking to Glen.

"Hey," ken poked Daniella's head, "do you really like being friends with tall people?" he scanned Robert's and Scott who had a built of a wrestle, "you should really try to be friend with short people."

Daniell rolled her eyes, "can you stop insulting me, Mr. Chu? At least for one day?"

Ken chuckled, "I didn't insult you yesterday."

"We didn't see each other yesterday," when her words sunk in her head, Daniella froze while Ken chuckled and shook his head.

Glen's brows creased, "I guess, the Su household will have kids running around soon," he stated, hoping that he could extract information if Daniella was fine with having a kid. He remembers Matthew said that Daniella hated kids.

His thoughts were disturbed when Scott and Robert suddenly laughed.

"This witch?" Scott said in between his laugh, pointing a finger at Daniella.

"having a kid?" Robert continued, "that will be the end of the wor-"

Scott and Robert's laughing moment was disturbed when Daniella pressed a pillow on each of their faces.

"Don't mind them, Glen, these two have lost their minds."

When she pulled the pillows from their faces, the two were breathing heavily.

"are you sure you want to marry her Evan?" Robert said in between his breathing, "aren't you scared that she'll kill you in your sleep?"

Robert immediately zipped his mouth after saying that, he met Daniella's eyes who were blazing in irritation.

"Bring Evan home, scarlet called me so I will leave now."

Robert sighed in relief, finally, Daniella will leave. He can finally have some alone time with Evan.
