Chapter 984: Chapter 1011: My Princess (5)
"Ah?" Mia Ginger was a bit taken aback. "I’m just parked by the roadside."
Koa Jackson was relieved, and asked her, "How long have you been on the road, talking on the phone while driving? Couldn’t you wait until you got home to make a call this late?"
"Oh." Mia gingerly laughed a little, "Just chatted a bit more with a classmate."
"Where are you now? Should I come out to pick you up?" Koa Jackson asked.
Mia hurriedly said, "No, no, I’m almost there, about ten more minutes."
"Then drive slowly and stop making phone calls," Koa Jackson advised in a low voice again.
"Okay." Mia quickly responded, set the phone aside, and continued to drive.
Meanwhile—
Tong Tong was dropped off at Cloudy Capital by Daniel Davis.
Before reaching the residential area, Tong Tong suddenly said, "I’ll just get off here."
Daniel Davis paused for a moment. "It will take a while to walk, let me drop you directly inside, it’s late."
"Security is very good here," Tong Tong smiled, "I want to walk a bit."
Daniel Davis stopped the car, turned his head to look at her, and gently asked, "Your eyes are red, did you cry tonight?"
"No." Tong Tong pursed her lips, "I’ve been working too hard these days, staying up late a lot."
Daniel Davis didn’t expose her, just smiled faintly.
Tong Tong didn’t speak again, lowered her head, unbuckled the seatbelt, and got out of the car.
Daniel Davis quickly followed her out.
Seeing her about to leave, he grabbed her wrist and suddenly said, "Wait a minute."
Tong Tong turned slightly, looked at him, and was momentarily stunned, speaking softly, "I’m sorry Brother Davis, tonight I was actually playing games with classmates, and was urged to call you. I’m really sorry for disturbing your rest, I..."
"I know," Daniel Davis interrupted her, "I guessed you were playing games, I heard laughter over the phone."
"Hmm." Tong Tong was at a bit of a loss for words.
Daniel Davis looked into her eyes for a long moment and asked, "But I still came, do you know why?"
"I..."
"Listen to me," Daniel Davis interrupted her again, gently saying, "I know you have someone else in your heart, and I’ve known for quite a while. But love is not effective when it’s one-sided, just like you towards that guy."
Daniel Davis smiled briefly, "Of course, it’s also like me towards you."
"I’m sorry."
"Don’t say sorry." Daniel Davis raised his hand, ruffling her hair a bit, "You haven’t done anything wrong to anyone from start to finish. Today, let’s not talk about love, let’s talk about marriage. Not all love leads to marriage, you’re smart, you must know this in your heart. You and that guy have no possibility, but you still need to get married eventually. When it comes to marriage, you can consider me. I’m twenty-eight this year, have a good family background, a budding career, no bad habits, no complicated romantic entanglements, and, of course, I’m in good health, especially since your parents like me too, am I right?"
"Yes." Tong Tong nodded her head with pursed lips.
"Your family likes and accepts me, my family likes and accepts you, so there’s no issue on that front. To me, you’re the ideal wife, and to you, even if I’m not the person you’ve always wished for, I should still be quite suitable as a husband, am I right?"
Tong Tong kept her lips sealed and said nothing.
Daniel Davis coaxed patiently, "Your silence means you agree. In that case, why don’t we give it a try together?"
As he finished speaking, he lifted her chin with one hand, looking at her attentively.
