Dani's Role

Finished

The moment Orion saw Seraphina, his usually stern face softened. He gazed at her with a faint smile.

"Perfect timing. A new Frencette restaurant just opened nearby. How about we check out the food together?"

"Why do you need me to try food?"

Seraphina raised her eyebrows; she was speechless.

"You're off work now. It's just a meal. We're working on the same project, after all. Colleagues can't have a simple dinner together?"

Orion feigned a pitiful expression.

The sight stunned those around them.

Was this really a cold, distant Orion?

Seraphina felt helpless. She knew she had turned down Orion a few too many times in the past few days.

If she didn't accept now, who knows how much longer he would pester her?

"Lead the way!" she finally said.

Orion's face lit up with joy, and he eagerly led the way.

Shortly before they got into the car, a small figure ran toward them from the distance.

"Miss Lovely, I missed you so much!"

Seraphina froze as Little Dani dashed over, clinging to her leg with a beaming smile.

He said sweetly, "I haven't seen you in forever! I missed you so much!"

Seraphina stroked his curly hair. Her heart was melting at his soft and sweet demeanor. She knelt down and hugged his tiny, warm body.

"Little Dani, I missed you too! I heard from your dad that you've been studying hard. What a wonderful boy you are!"

Originally, Little Daniel was extremely upset with how William had arranged for people to monitor his tutoring and rest 24 hours a day. That's why he sneaked out to find Seraphina. The moment he heard her praise, all the resentment he had been holding onto for days suddenly melted away. Ms. Lovely is praising me!

Clinging to her sweet-smelling embrace, Dani's eyes lit up with joy.

"Yes! I'll be even more handsome and rich someday!"

That way, he could be with Seraphina, openly and proudly.

Dani's Role

annoyed him.

"Alright, we need to go now," Orion said, his tone slightly harsher.

Dani looked up at Seraphina's anxiously. He asked, "Where are you going? I'm coming tool"

Seraphina couldn't resist ruffling his hair again. How could she say no to him?

"Of course you can come!" she said.

Orion's breath hitched in frustration.

His voice became more commanding as he asked, "Does Wilson know you snuck out?"

Dani shrank further into Seraphina's arms, guilt evident in his expression.

This annoying Mr. Wicked is still as unbearable as ever!

Orion smugly pulled out his phone and called Wilson

"Your son's here with Seraphina and me," he said, clearly expecting Wilson to come and collect his child.

He even put the call on speaker so Dani could hear his father's voice.

Wilson's voice came through, cold and indifferent.

"Is that so? Take good care of him for me, please. I'm in a meeting. Goodbye."

Beep. The call ended abruptly.

The three of them stood frozen for a moment.

When Dani realized what had just happened, he beamed with joy and clung even tighter to Seraphina.

"Yay! I get to stay with Ms. Lovely!"

On's face turned pale with anger as he stared at the darkened phone screen, his breathing becoming unsteady.

What had started as a rare opportunity for a date had now turned into babysitting duty for Wilson.

How frustrating!

Despite his irritation, the trio headed towards the restaurant.

Orion had carefully chosen the restaurant, its elegant ambiance and dim lighting creating the perfect atmosphere for deep, unspoken emotions to blossom.

In short, it was an ideal setting for a date.

He had reserved the entire floor, ensuring that there were no other guests around. The soft strains of a symphony played in the background, accompanied by enchanting 3D scenery. Tiny, twinkling lights glimmered like stars, flickering in and out of view, making them feel as though they were floating in a dazzling galaxy-a scene filled with romance and beauty.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

Dani's Role

The setting was ideal for a romantic evening-if only Dani wasn't present.

Finished

Dani sat between Seraphina and Orion. The little boy clutches her hand. His eyes widened as he gazed the flowers and candles on the table. He felt discouraged.

Orion picked up a bouquet of blue lilies flown in from Lucrium, an incredibly rare and expensive gift.

"For you," he spoke in a deep, captivating voice, presenting the flowers to Seraphina. His gaze softened as he tried to ignore the third wheel sitting between them Mr. Wicked even brought a gift!

Before Seraphina could take the bouquet, Dani jumped up in protest.

"Big, beautiful chrysanthemums are Ms. Lovely's favorite flowers!" 1.3K
