Chapter 856 An Egregious Flirt

Danny's head instantly became clearer and he cheered happily. “That makes sense. Sure enough, ittakes one woman to know another woman. I know what I should do now. The weather is chilly atnight, so quickly go back and sleep. It is fine if you go to work a little late tomorrow.”

“I am alright. You, on the other hand, have had a lot to drink. I will go upstairs after you get intoyour ride.” “Okay then. See you tomorrow.” “See you.”

Elated that she pointed out a direction for him, Danny finally shakily turned around and threwhimself into the taxi. The driver proceeded to start the engine and drive into the dark of the night.As a gush of cold wind blew, Ariel subconsciously tugged on the jacket on her body. This was thejacket Danny had put on her when she got out of the car earlier. She had forgotten to return it justnow.

However, it was fine that she didn't return it, as this was not the first time this kind of thing hadhappened. In the past seven years, Danny had grown into a mature man who was considerate towomen. She had never been left out in the cold when she was beside him.

His gentleness was like a hidden vine that had twined its way into the deepest corner of her heart.Albeit quietly, it kept growing and growing during the seven years, and at some point, hadconsumed her entire heart.

However, she knew that her affections for him came a tad too late. They had missed each other longago. No matter how much she was in love with him, it would all be in vain.

Ariel bitterly smiled and shook her head at the thought of this before turning around and gettinginto her apartment. Twenty minutes later, the taxi Danny was in came to the rowdiest street inTissote—Bar Street.

The car came to a stop after a while. After Danny got out of the car, he paid the taxi fare, andwalked into a Thai pub. He immediately saw the drunk Jamie sprawled over the counter as soon ashe entered the establishment.

Walking over, he placed a hand on the sloshed man’s shoulder. “I knew you were here. Wake up.”Hearing that, Jamie slowly sat up, and only took one look at Danny with narrowed eyes before heturned back annoyed. He then took the half glass of alcohol before him and drank it all up.Disappointed, Danny shook his head. “Have you gone crazy? Are you done putting on that toughact? Why do you pretend like you don’t care when you like her that much?”

"You don't know sh*t!” Jamie huffed and let out a burp that smelled of alcohol. He then swung hisarms in the air before finally pointing at himself. “Let me ask you—who am 1?”

“You are Jamie Keller, of course. Who else can you be? Are you really off your rocker?” Dannycomplained, his face disdainful.

"You are the dumb one.” Squinting, he shook his head indignantly and slapped his palm on his chestwhile he confidently declared, “I, Jamie Keller, am not only Jamir Keller. I am a member ofDragonweiss and the key figure of SK Group. Other than having to be responsible for myself, I amalso responsible for the organization. Now that Boss is gone, I have to take care of all this for her. Ican't just care for my own happiness. Do you understand me?”

“I get you. So? Am I not in the same boat as you? Even though I didn't officially join Dragonweiss,we have been to hell and back more times than I can count all these years. What does this have todo with whether or not you accept Narissa's feelings?” Danny spread out his hands, confusionwritten all over his face.

"Of course it is related!” As Jamie whined, he began to sniffle and smile wryly with tears in his eyes."Even a person as powerful as the Boss disappeared without a trace when she was only in hertwenties. Just look at how stubborn Narissa is. I will waste her whole lifetime if something happensto me. I can't be so selfish!”

Danny's expression softened slightly then, and he nodded understandingly. “You have goodintentions.”

He came to a brief pause before continuing, “But aren't you being too pessimistic? It is not like wewill definitely get into an accident. Why don't you just live every day like it is your last? Humans arebound to have regrets no matter the path you choose. And if that is the case, why don't you make adecision that will make both of you happy?”

Jamie kept shaking his head at that. “The way you think is too selfish. Furthermore, this is what Ipromised the Boss. How can I, a man, go back on my word for my own selfish desires?”

Not knowing what else to say, Danny threw an arm over Jamie's shoulder and lamented, “Seems likewe are two peas in a pod. But I have to admit that you are an egregious flirt, whereas I am only ahopelessly sentimental man.”

“Fine! I will have another round with you tonight no matter what, my friend!”

“Bartender, get us more drinks!”

In the White Residence, after Elise tucked Narissa in, she was passing by the living room to head tothe shower when she inadvertently caught a glimpse of Irvin waiting outside through the crack ofthe door.

She then walked over and opened the door before asking in a small voice, “Honey, do you needMommy for something?”

Hearing that, the boy raised his head to look at her and solemnly nodded.

Not wanting to wake Narissa up, Elise closed the door and brought Irvin back to his room.“Alright.” She half-squatted and patiently began, “You can tell me now. You can ask me anything youwant, Little Irvin.”

Irvin was quiet at first, but he soon asked in a serious tone, “Mommy, Mr. Griffith is Daddy, isn't he?”"How did you know?" Elise’'s emotions were a mix of joy, sadness, and surprise.

"I felt close to him from the first time I saw him, and then I noticed how he always peeked at youconsciously and unconsciously, Mommy. Also, you didn't show disdain when he got close to youearlier tonight. There are many signs that show how close you two are,” Irvin analyzed.

His answer brought a smile to Elise’s face. “It seems like we haven't been very good at acting. Weeven got busted by a child.”

“Not necessarily, no.” Irvin's face was innocent as he continued, “There aren’t many kids who are asclever as your dear son is. See how Alexia didn't notice?”

“So, you are saying that Alexia isn't clever. Oh, you are done. I will tell Alexia you said so tomorrow,”Elise teased.

The boy immediately spotted a frown as he muttered angrily, “Mommy, only naughty kids tell onsomeone!”

"Okay, I will stop messing around with you.” Elise grabbed his small hands and told the truth. “Youare right, my son. Are you happy? Now you know who Daddy is?"

Instead of immediately answering her, Irvin resumed his analysis. “I have done my research. Daddy'sfirst wife went missing 7 years ago. That was also the year Alexia and I were born. Mommy, you areElise Sinclair, aren't you?”

Elise could only gawk at Irvin in surprise. She didn’t expect someone as young as him to havefigured everything out already.

She couldn't help but get serious as she held his hands tighter. “Irvin, keep this to yourself, okay?Don't tell anyone else; or else, it will bring danger to our family.”

“Even Alexia?” Irvin asked.

“Even Alexia. Your sister is too innocent. She won't be able to keep it a secret. She will expose us ifshe knew the truth,” Elise answered, feeling perplexed.

"Alright, I will keep it a secret.”

Elise only felt more at ease then. However, she started worrying again when she looked at the grimexpression on Irvin's face. “Are you not answering Mommy's question because you don't likeDaddy?"
