Daniel gives Leigh a gloomy look, “Would you like to go for a swim in the ocean?”
Leigh tries to continue, “Daniel, you…”
“Shut up now Leigh, you have said enough.” Jessie snaps and stuffs a piece of bread in his mouth, “Do you want to be thrown into the ocean and see me find a new boyfriend?”
Leigh stops immediately, “No, Baby! You are only mine.”
During the meal, Stella maintains a smile and talks in a friendly manner but she doesn’t give Daniel even a glance.
Lily, who understands the situation, also doesn’t talk to Daniel.
At about ten o’clock in the morning, the cruise ship arrives at a certain port in Tokyo, and everyone packs their luggage to leave the ship.
Lily thinks about John’s cold kiss in the dark ballroom, who didn’t say a word, didn’t even show up even once. She doesn’t know what he is doing here.
Is he here just to follow her?
When getting a taxi to go to the city, Daniel courteously opens the door for Stella who acts like she can’t see it and goes around the car to open the other side door herself.
“Thanks, Daniel.” Lily has no choice but to politely accept the open door and sit in the car.
Seeing Daniel’s dull expressions, Lily asks Stella as soon as she sits in the back seat of the taxi, “Weren’t you dancing with him yesterday? Did you guys fight again?”
Jessie also looks over curiously.
Stella snorted coldly, “I was in a good mood last night. I wanted to tell him about Chandler when I remembered that he did not explain about that senior executive so I asked him about it. You know what he said to me? He said that on Christmas day, that executive’s boyfriend came to pick her up and his scarf was the same as Daniel’s so the confusion occurred.”
“Okay, even if the scarf was same, was his height and figure same as him too? He said that the company’s people were mistaken. There are hundreds of people in the company, is he saying no one there knew what their boss looks like from behind?”
“I asked a few more questions and he said that I was trying to quarrel with him on purpose.” Stella grits her teeth, showing her hatred for Daniel’s attitude, “It’s obvious that there is something going on with that senior executive.”
Lily touches her chin thoughtfully, “I don’t think Daniel is that kind of person. Maybe the people in the company really didn’t see it. Leigh might have hooked up with women like that but Daniel would never.”
“Yeah, I agree with Lily too.” Jessie purses her lips and says in a depressed tone, “His phone was full of photos of almost nude photos of supermodels. He even gave his business card around to girls at the show. What a playboy.”
Lily doesn’t know if to laugh or cry, “How can you say that about your own boyfriend?”
“That’s what he is!” Jessie mutters, looking at Stella with jealousy, “Although Daniel looks cold and distant, but he is sincere in his heart. See, it has been four years, but he is still obsessed with you. I wish Leigh was like that too, if I break up with him for two days, he might immediately find new love.”
Seeing both of them saying that, Stella also thinks that Daniel can’t do such a thing, “Fine, I will trust him, but his attitude is a problem. I will continue the cold war for some days before talking to him.”
“It has been four years since the cold war, isn’t it enough?” Lily smiles helplessly, “You should tell him about Chandler soon and give him some time to process it.”
Stella plays with a strand of her hair for some time before replying, “Process what? I raised his son all by myself, what did he do except donate the sperm?”
“You… You both…” Jessie’s mouth falls open, “Do you both a have a child?”
Stella nods.
On the way to the hotel, Lily tells Jessie everything, including how she realized that Chandler is Stella’s son with Daniel, and how she is hiding it from Daniel.
Jessie hears the whole story, her mouth never closing.
This is really the most exciting drama!
The hotel they are to stay at is one of the most famous hotels in Tokyo. Their booked rooms are regular rooms at the hotel.
After reaching the hotel, Lily sees that there is some promotion going on in the hotel so she talks to the front desk staff in Japanese and has their rooms exchanged for a luxury presidential suite.
The three women carry their luggage to the elevator, ignoring the men.
“Ah! Women really do hate the enemies of their friends just like their own enemies.” Leigh chirps and looks at Daniel, “The only person who knows how to speak Japanese is gone, how do we check-in now.”
