Chapter 771
"What?!"
Onyx could be said to have finally experienced coming back from the dead after hearing that shocking
news. Just as he was lying on the sofa, he was so startled by the news that he immediately jumped up.
He proceeded to grab Adelpha tightly by the hand, and still having the last glimmer of hope, he asked,
"Is this a joke?!"
"It is true." Adelpha pretended to look conflicted. "Momma was the one who noticed that Anastasia has
had the appetite of a pregnant woman ever since she came back. We also found something that only
pregnant women use in her room. We are sure she is pregnant!"
Holding Onyx's hand in return, Adelpha continued, "Poppa, what should we do?! Anastasia hasn't even
had her wedding, and now she is suddenly going to have a baby. If people knew about this, they would
surely say that the Whites have terrible family education, which is why Anastasia got pregnant before
marriage...."
"Shut up!" he angrily stopped her from saying anything more. "No one is allowed to talk about this
outside of these walls. Have I made myself clear?!"
"I know that, Poppa, but it will be hard to stop rumors. We have to get ready earlier..." Adelpha
suggested with a worried look on her face.
"Got it." He shook her off, distraught. "Remember to warn the servants at home not to speak nonsense
outside!"
After saying that, he fell back on the sofa and closed his eyes.
He had to think of a way to protect his reputation.
When morning came, Danny came knocking on the door of Ariel's office with a beautifully packaged
breakfast in his hand.
"Come in." Ariel's voice came from inside.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHearing that, he pursed his lips into a smile, and walked in to place the breakfast beside her.
She took a glance at the breakfast before she looked up to see the attentive expression on Danny's
face when she pulled her eyebrows together. She then got up and walked over to close the door.
Thinking Ariel was being bashful, Dannny grabbed the breakfast before walking to the coffee table to sit
down. As he took out all the items in the bag, he asked her to come over. "Something tells me that you
only drink black coffee in the morning. Try our local breakfast. This is from an old shop. Not only does it
taste good, it is good for the stomach."
Ariel, however, only stood there awkwardly, and after a long while, she managed to squeeze out a
sentence. "Mr. Danny, I think you misunderstood."
He swiftly put down the almond milk in his hand and stood up confused, his smile gradually becoming
unnatural. "What are you trying to say?"
Ariel also seemed to be at a loss, but she still bluntly told the truth. "I mean, we are both adults. What
happened that day was just an accident. Just think of it as a dream. Now that we are awake, don't take
it to heart anymore."
"Maybe we can try?" Danny persistently asked.
"There is no 'maybe'." Ariel's attitude was firm. "It should be obvious to you that I am a strong woman. I
never consider being with a man younger than me."
Now that she had said that, it would be impolite for him to press on.
Left with no choice, he could only utter a dejected response before he trudged out of the room.
"Wait!" Ariel suddenly stopped him, making Danny turn around in pleasant surprise. "What is it?! Did
you change your mind?!"
"No." She looked calm despite his outburst. "I wanted to tell you that I have found a driver. You don't
have to pick me up for work in the future."
"Oh…" Disappointed, Danny lowered his head and started walking toward the door again. When he
held the door handle, he instinctively turned his head and reminded, "Remember to take your
breakfast."
After that, he opened the door and left the company.
Jamie arrived at the private room in Silver Bell Spot about half an hour later, where he saw Danny
sitting on the floor with a half-empty bottle of whiskey in his arms.
"Why?" He went crazy with all the alcohol in his blood. "Why did she suddenly become so cold?! She
doesn't need to take responsibility just because she is a woman? Is she Zeus or something?! Ariel
Whitney, I don't like you! You are the only woman I know who keeps climbing over my head!"
Jamie wormed over to him by stepping on the gap next to Danny and sat down beside him. Heartlessly,
he cheered, "Which woman is it that successfully made our Young Master Danny get this drunk?"
"It is Young Master Danny's boss," Danny muttered.
It was obvious that he wasn't in a good mood. Even though he wasn't hanging by a thread, the alcohol
in his hand was almost empty.
"What is the matter? You asked me to come out for a drink, but all I see is your sad face..."
Gradually affected by the depressing atmosphere in the room, Jamie poured a glass for himself and
drank it too.
As soon as he set the glass down on the table, Danny suddenly hugged his leg with his eyes half-open.
He then kept mumbling, "Bro… Tell me, bro—how do I get an impeccable woman for myself? I am so
good at driving, but she went on and hired someone else to be her driver. Don't you think that it is
because she has someone she likes?"
"Come one now. You are a big man. Why are you crying so sadly just because someone broke your
heart?" Despite the disdainful look on Jamie's face, he still gave advice to his good friend.
He reached out to hold Danny's face and patted it. "Wake up! How are you going to prove your sincerity
if you are so unmotivated just at a small setback? Ariel has a different driver now, yeah? Just show that
you are better than him! You need to be thick-skinned when you are after a woman. How else are you
going to impress her otherwise?!"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmDanny's head was all over the place, but he managed to get this one sentence into his brain. "Yes! I am
the only one who can be Ariel's driver! I am the only one!"
After he energetically shouted his slogan, he plopped his head on Jamie's lap and fell into a deep
sleep.
Jamie glumly shook his head at this. "How dare he say he will only stop drinking when he is drunk only
by having so little to drink? I will make him sit at the children's table the next time we eat together!"
Danny slept until 4.00AM and when he recalled Jamie's advice, he quickly got up and ready.
Ariel came out of the apartment at 8.30AM, and as soon as she walked to the side of the road, Danny
suddenly popped out of nowhere, scaring Ariel in the process.
"Didn't I tell you not to come?!" she muttered.
"You may have gotten yourself a driver, but you need a navigator as well! I won't give up."
With that, Danny went around the car and walked to the passenger seat. When he opened the car
door, he was greeted by the sight of a boy in overalls sitting inside.
Thinking that he might have been seeing things, Danny took off his sunglasses and blinked a few
times.
When the boy noticed him, he put down the tablet in his hand and waved with a smile on his face.
Danny then looked at Ariel while he pointed at the boy. "Who is this?" he asked.
"Driver cum navigator," she calmly explained. "He is my nephew."
"So, this is the fellow you brought to replace me?" The corners of Danny's mouth twitched awkwardly.
"Oi, I am not 'the fellow' to you. I have a name. I am Helios Whitney!" the boy shouted excitedly.
For a moment, Danny was baffled and he didn't know what to say.
Just as he was lost in thought, Ariel had already gotten into the car.
Seeing this, Danny didn't have time to think before he abruptly opened the door to the backseat and
hopped in.
Ariel sighed helplessly at that, and she expressed her reluctance through the rearview mirror. "Perhaps
you would consider driving your own car, Mr. Danny?"
"I don't have my car with me today," he replied rather confidently.
