Coolest Girl in Town (Elise and Alexander) novel Chapter 771

Chapter 771 Make Him Sit at the Children’s Table

“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.

Hearing 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.
