Each time Tatiana was even remotely reminded of him, sorrow spread throughout her entire body. The pain pierced through to her bones and her heart.
She felt that she had committed a grave sin by letting Sean down. Was there anyone who could give her a win-win solution?
Ultimately, she was also a selfish person.
She ruminated on both options¡ªSean and her family. After much consideration, in the end, she decided to choose the latter.
David noticed Tatiana was staring blankly at her phone with her head down. Out of curiosity, he craned his neck to take a glance.
His expression turned glum instantly. But he still smiled callously and said, “Ms. Tatiana, if you have urgent matters to attend to … I won’t be in your way. Do go ahead with what you need to do.”
He was trying to back up slightly in order to take two steps forward.
“There’s nothing. It’s fine.” Tatiana resolutely rejected the call on her phone.
She then turned her cell phone off. She was afraid that Sean would call her again.
She needed to be determined.
After all, it was better for him to be devastated for some time than to give him a massive sense of hope before disappointing him again.
This was far preferable to raising his hopes to the heavens only to crush his heart into a million pieces.
David’s eyes glowed. He was so excited that his voice started shaking as he asked, “Then … May I sit here?”
Tatiana nodded slightly. She turned to her side to make way for him while keeping a distance.
David limped two steps forward. Suddenly, he lost his balance! He staggered and began to fall forward.
“Hey, be careful!” Out of reflex, Tatiana reached out to hold him.
From a young age, she had a kind heart. It was a gesture that she didn’t need to think much about.
She would help any elderly who was crossing the road. There was no reason for her to be indifferent when she saw a handicapped man about to fall in front of her.
David seized the opportunity to grip Tatiana’s skinny arms. The touch of her soft and smooth skin made his temperature rise. His heart raced as his blood surged through his veins.
He exhaled sharply and looked at her with a look full of gratitude. “Thank … Thank you, Ms. Tatiana.”
Winston was having a friendly chat with Victor a short distance away.
“Oh! Look over there, Winston!” Victor exclaimed while he tapped Winston on the shoulder.
Winston turned casually and spotted Tatiana and David sitting together. They seemed to get along quite well. He wrinkled his eyebrows subtly.
“From what I can see, Tatiana and David seem to have gotten closer.”
Excitedly, Victor pounced on the opportunity to matchmake them. He continued, “Previously, Jimmy kept trying to pursue Lyse. He was so enthusiastic that almost the entire world knew about it.
“Now that our families are discussing a marriage alliance, I suppose letting Taty marry Jimmy would make them very uncomfortable. It would also be unfair for Taty.
“David has mentioned to me in private that he really likes Taty. You should know that David has never told me to my face that he fancies any particular lady. I can tell that his feelings for Taty are true.
“Forcing them won’t bring them happiness. I’m sure that you understand it very well, Winston. What I’m thinking is … Why don’t we …”
Without waiting for Victor to finish his sentence, Winston interrupted him coldly, “I think that it’s not suitable.
“You know what David’s condition is like. An arranged marriage isn’t built on love in the first place. Did you want my daughter to marry David and become his crutches for the rest of her life?”
Victor was at a loss for words.
Damn it, Winston! He just said some really nasty things!
“Plus, if you wish to talk about both parties having an interest in one another, Taty doesn’t fancy either of your sons. Since this is so, she might as well choose someone more suited for her.”
Victor initially thought of contesting. However, he could only sight helplessly and unhappily when he perceived Winston was adamant about ending the topic there and then.
David loved being among the ladies ever since he was young. Back when he was still able-bodied, he surrounded himself with women. He was best at coaxing them by sweet-talking.
Seeing as Tatiana didn’t push him away, he racked his brains to think of cheeky things to say. He wanted to make her happy.
However, Tatiana was different from the other women he had come in contact with before. She was cold all the way, seemingly disinterested in the things he said.
He tried all the tactics he had under his belt but couldn’t get thr to her. His throat felt dry, and he became annoyed!
She was just the third wife’s daughter. If it weren’t for him being disabled, he wouldn’t even have chosen her!
Why was she even putting herself on a pedestal?
Daisy noticed that they weren’t too happy about the progression of their relationship. She began to feel anxious on behalf of David.
As such, she figured there was no other way than to play some dirty tricks.
Then, she spotted David’s secretary walking hurriedly in David’s direction. She stopped him and asked,
“Hey, where are you going? Don’t you see that David is occupied?”
“Ms. Daisy, there has been some trouble,” he answered incoherently.
“Just spill it. Am I an outsider to you?”
“I mean… Ms. Alyssa’s secretary from last time… He’s waiting.
outside.”
A sinister look flashed across Daisy’s face. “Sean?” she asked.
“Yes, that’s right! The one who goes by the last name Lynch! Isn’t he Mr. David’s love rival? I believe he is out to ruin things for Mr. David by coming here.
“So, I was thinking of quickly reporting to Mr. David and getting some idea on what we can do to him.
He can’t enter for now since he’s an uninvited guest.
“But, if Ms. Alyssa were to find out, I’m sure she would orchestrate something on his behalf. If that happens, how awkward it must be for Mr. David!” he exclaimed after weighing the pros and cons.
David’s secretary was a loyal employee.
“Got it. Thanks for the thought. Let me handle this. Don’t interrupt David for now,” Daisy advised in a lazy tone.
“Alright, Ms. Daisy.”
David’s secretary left. In the next second, Daisy retrieved her cell and sent a WhatsApp message to
David.
“David, your love rival is right outside. I am going to chase him away on your behalf. How are you going to thank me?”
“Haven’t you been eyeing that ruby and diamond necklace for a while,
Thank you very much, David! Sending kisses to you!”
“But, since he came all the way, as per Schmidt family custom, we s shouldn’t let him leave empty-

D Daisy replied with an emoticon that meant “Okay”. Then, he smirked.
