Chapter 14 Sleep on his sofa

As soon as the fat man finished his words, the people behind him quickly showed off the sticks in their hands. Smiling coldly, they confronted the man in the tense atmosphere.

Chloe looked up and recognized that this man was Daniel's assistant, Tyler.

But Daniel didn't show up. Maybe he was at home.

Seeing Tyler, Chloe felt relieved and sneered at those rascals.

"Beauty, why you are sneering? Oh, I see. You don't want him to stop us from having fun? Don't worry. I will take care of him very soon." The fat man chuckled casually. Clearly, he didn't take Tyler seriously.

Tyler stared straight at them, confident that they couldn't take Chloe from him.

But as he heard Chloe's words, his expression changed slightly in disbelief.

"Yeah, he really ruined our fun. What a bummer!" Chloe said seriously.

Hearing this, the fat man believed that Chloe wanted to go with them.

A complacent smile appeared on his fat face. "Dude, now you see that she is with us. So get out of our way!"

"My last advice. Leave her alone. The police will be here in a few minutes." Tyler started to flex his wrists, for the near fight.

With cigarettes in their mouths and golden necklaces around their necks, these rascals looked at each other and burst into laughter. Him alone against them? He must be joking.

The fatty widened his eyes as if he was going to cut Tyler into pieces, "Fuck! You called the police? Now I am really pissed off!"

"Ah!"

Before they could react, the man behind the fat man suddenly screamed and fell to the ground in an instant.

"What happened?"

The fatty turned around with the intention of checking what was happening. Seeing this, Tyler grabbed the fatty's collar and kicked him on his knees easily.

"Ah! You…little bastard!" The sharp pain made him curse like hell.

Tyler was about to retort, but here came a familiar voice, "What took you so long to pick her up?"

Tyler pressed the fatty's head on the ground and didn't explain.

"Tyler just saved me from the rascals. Now you came after everything was settled." Said Chloe calmly.

Chloe just wanted to explain for Tyler but somehow it sounded like she was complaining Daniel didn't arrive earlier to help her.

"Why are you here alone?" Daniel stared at her coldly and changed the topic.

Why did he care? Besides, she was kicked out by Laura partly because of Daniel as well.

Therefore, Chloe answered coldly, irritated slightly, "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been kicked out by my mom."

So far, Laura didn't even call her.

In an instant, she vented her anger on Daniel, who was so unlucky right now.

"You are nice! You are smart! You never make mistakes! My mom always compares me with you! She praises you all the time."

Laura always compared Chloe with Kevin and Daniel. When Chloe was young, she was forced to learn the piano every day although she didn't like it. She did protest. But Laura said she must at least learn something. After all, Kevin and Daniel were so much more intelligent and talented than her.

"So... " Seeming to understand her anger, Daniel looked at her and said in a rarely gentle tone, "If you finish, let's go home and have some rest?"

Chloe looked up, surprised he was so patient.

While seeing her pretty eyes, Daniel sensed her loneliness.

*****

In the Dwelling Garden.

Daniel took Chloe to his home.

The decoration remained almost the same as Chloe remembered before her rebirth.

Chloe looked around, full of complicated feelings.

She didn't expect that she would come back here. Especially not as Daniel's 'sister' this time.

But being his 'sister' was good actually. She didn't want anything romantic between them.

Daniel took her to the guestroom on the second floor, "I will ask the maid to clean it tomorrow, so you need to make do with it for tonight."

Chloe was a bed lover. Seeing the guestroom decorated like a hotel, she felt unhappy and upset for no reason.

So instead of calling him Mr. Bruce, which somehow showed respect to him, she said, "You jerk! This room has been obviously empty for a long time and I can smell something dusty in the air. How could you let your guest sleep here? Can't you be nice to me?"

Jerk? Did she just call him a jerk?

"YOU said previously that you didn't want to come." Daniel turned the wheelchair and took her out of the room.

Just when she thought he would give his room to her, they directly went to the first floor.

Chloe didn't know what he was planning, so she just waited in silence.

But the next second, they stopped before the sofa.

"You…" Chloe faltered, too surprised to make a complete sentence.

"Don't worry. You won't smell anything dusty on the sofa. I will ask the maid to get you some clean quilts. So you can put up with it tonight." Daniel carried her onto the sofa easily.

Ha! What happened to that nice, smart, and perfect Daniel in Laura's eyes! How could Mr. Perfect asked his guest to sleep on the sofa!

"Thank you!" Chloe answered sarcastically.

Daniel left then. But as he walked to the corner of the stairs, he glanced at Chloe secretly.

She was lying on the sofa, cozy and relaxed.

He couldn't help smiling for no reason. Luckily, the sofa was big enough.

Suffering the stomachache for a whole day, Daniel finally had a rest. He closed his eyes and fell asleep very soon.

But it wasn't a peaceful night, with danger lurking in the dark.

A man wore a black vest, which enhanced his strong and compact muscles. The wind blew in through the window with a little coldness.

Looking outside the window, he was playing with his phone, lighting the lighter with his slender fingers from time to time.

As the phone screen turned light, he answered the call at once. "Are you ready? Let's start the game now."
