Chapter 733
“So you…” Vivian couldn’t believe it as her tears shimmered in her eyes.
“I risked my life to save you because I’m a police officer,” Daniel said firmly.
He continued, “There were no personal feelings involved.”
“That’s impossible!” Vivian denied. She cried and her tears streamed down her face. She bit her lower lip and choked, “I-I don’t believe it. How could you risk your life for me if you didn’t love me?”
Daniel sighed heavily. He resigned as he said, “Vivian, I didn’t risk my life for you. Think about it logically.”
“Logically?” Vivian asked as she wiped away her tears.
“Because you were my ex-girlfriend, out of pity, I warned you to leave that yacht,” Daniel analyzed his motives for saving her. He explained, “It was you who exposed my undercover identity. Both of us were in danger because of that.
“I would have escaped alone, but as a police officer, I should have brought you along. I absolutely cannot let myself be cowardly and selfish. It’s my duty, so I fled with you.”
Biting her lower lip, Vivian found it hard to accept his explanation.
Daniel smiled bitterly. He continued, “I almost died, not because I wanted to save you, but because you dragged me down.”
Now, not resenting her was already his magnanimity.
“You came here to work because of Sienna?” Vivian asked as her eyes were tearful.
Daniel replied without hesitation, “Yes.”
“Now, she dumped you,” Vivian continued. She wiped away her tears and sarcastically asked with an elegant posture, “You readily agreed and completely let go of this relationship?”
Pursing his lips, Daniel pondered for a few seconds. With his understanding of human nature, especially of jealous women, he had to handle it very carefully.
He replied nonchalantly, “Yeah, I’ve moved on. A good man doesn’t backtrack. Out with the old, in with the new. There are plenty of fish in the sea, so I don’t need to cling to one tree and miss the entire forest.”
Vivian gritted her teeth as her gaze turned cold. She spat out, “Scumbag!”
Then, she opened the door and got out of the car. With a heavy slam, she shut the car door.
Daniel calmly looked at her. He popped his head out to ask, “Need a ride home?”
“Fuck off,” Vivian cursed as she was angry because her attempt to reconcile failed. She turned around to walk away before taking out her phone to call a taxi.
Daniel smiled lightly then started the car and drove away.
He drove back to his home and parked his car outside the yard.
The sky was gradually darkening.
He took out his phone and then lowered his head to send a message to Sienna as he walked.
“Sisi, have you had dinner?”
He unlocked the door with his fingerprint and entered.
Sienna hadn’t replied yet. He hung his jacket at the entrance before sending another message to ask what she was doing.
“Beep…” A faint sound came from the living room.
He raised his head and saw a petite figure dashing out from the room.
When Daniel realized, Sienna had already pounced on him.
He reacted quickly to catch her.
Sienna hooked her arms around his neck with her legs circling his waist. Her buttocks were steadily supported by his strong and powerful hands.
Deep down, Daniel felt delighted. He smiled as he murmured softly, “When did you come?”
“I came here at noon. I wrote for a while, took a nap on your bed, and cooked dinner for you,” Sienna shyly said with a low voice.
Daniel couldn’t help but kiss her lips. Then, he carried her to the living room. He sat on the sofa while Sienna sat in his lap. Their position was intimate.
