“Daniel, I know we got married in a flash,” Alice said. “There are still many things you don’t understand
about me, but… when it comes to matters of the heart, I’ve never betrayed you.
“I’m not into Joseph. Even if he confessed his feelings to me today, I wouldn’t accept it. I’ve already
made my stance clear to him.”
Alice was serious as she spoke. She believed in honesty between spouses, so she did not mind
explaining things clearly when it came to Joseph.
After Alice explained, Johnny said, “My sister has told you about Joseph. Mr. Kaur, shouldn’t you talk
about Vivian?”
Upon hearing the word “Vivian”, Daniel’s expression turned grim for a moment. Then, he looked at
Alice intensely and approached her step by step.
As if no one else was around, he wrapped his arm around her slender waist and said in a deep and h
oa rse voice, “Alice, are you jealous?”
“Cough, cough, cough, cough…” Daniel suddenly approaching Alice caused her to cough intensely.
Then, she said angrily, “Daniel, we’re in the hospital. My brother is still here. Can you not ask such a
question?”
Alice thought, “Doesn’t he feel awkward?
“And what’s more, he is so close. Does he not worry that my brother and the kids may find it
inappropriate?”
“It’s okay,” Daniel said without changing his expression. “They have to get used to it.”
“Huh?” Alice said. She was stunned. It had never occurred to her that Daniel was so audacious. She
said, “Well then, you can’t just get close to me either!”
Daniel said, “I approached after careful consideration.”
Alice thought, “Ugh….
“He is so darn audacious, right?
“And from the corner of her eye, I’ve already seen my brother’s clenched fist, okay? He’s ready to
strike.
“Is this guy just asking for a beating or what?”
Alice then placed her hands on Daniel’s shoulders and said solemnly, “Before you get close to me,
explain the matter about Vivian. Why are both of you so familiar with each other?”
Daniel frowned and explained helplessly, “We’ve known each other since childhood, but we’re not
familiar with each other. You don’t have to worry about it at all.”
Alice said, “You both have known each other since childhood… so that means both of you are
childhood sweethearts, right?” Alice did not even realize that when she uttered that remark, there was a
hint of jealousy.
“No,” Daniel replied. “In my eyes, she’s just someone who doesn’t hold much importance in my life.
You’re the only one who holds a special and unique place in my heart.”
Alice instantly blushed. She immediately cleared her throat and said, “If you want to explain, just
explain. Don’t flirt casually!”
Daniel was amused by her adorable reaction. He gently pinched her chin and slowly drew himself
closer to her.
“Don’t get too close!” Alice said. “I haven’t finished talking yet!”
Daniel finally refrained from getting closer. There was a change in the expression of his eyes. He
became serious as he said, “We indeed have interactions in our work, and she did promise to help me
with some projects. However, there’s nothing inappropriate happening between us.
“I’ll pass the work to someone else in the future. I won’t have any contact with her again.”
Alice asked, “Um… What if it is that Mr. Kaur from your family who arranges it, making it a must for you Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.
to work with this young lady, or else he’ll fire you?”
She thought, “My husband isn’t the CEO of the company, so there’s no way he can willfully choose his
project partners.”
Daniel, however, said expressionlessly, “Mr. Kaur wouldn’t dare to do so. They have no right to fire me.”
Alice replied, “Pfft… You’re so domineering. People who don’t know may think that you’re the CEO of
the company.”
Daniel said, “If you wish, I can become the CEO right away.”
Feeling that Daniel’s remarks were becoming less relevant to the topic that they were talking about,

waved and interrupted him. “Alright, alright,” she said. “Stop spouting nonsense. If Mr. Kaur finds out,
your year-end bonus will be deducted.”
However, Daniel seemed to be addicted to boasting. He hugged Alice again. “Mr. Kaur doesn’t dare to
do so,” he said, “He can’t wait to give the entire family fortune for me to provide for my wife.”
“That’s enough,” Alice said as she quickly pushed him. “Stop talking nonsense!”
“What’s wrong with Daniel?” she thought. “Is he really not afraid that Mr. Kaur would fire him?
