In the midst of joyous occasions, even after a busy day, Daniel couldn't help but feel secretly elated at the thought of mending fences with Sienna.
Just as he reached his car, Vivian approached from behind. She called out, "Daniel."
Daniel paused before turning to look at her. He asked calmly, "Vivian? What's up?"
"I need to talk to you about something important," Vivian said in a serious demeanor.
"Get in the car," Daniel agreed.
After Vivian got into his car, Daniel started the engine and drove away.
In the car, Daniel asked, "Where do you want to talk?"
"Let's talk at your place," Vivian replied.
Daniel furrowed his brow slightly. He straight away refused her. "It's not convenient."
"It's too important. I need to find a place where there is no one around us," Vivian said. Looking at his resolute and handsome face, she gazed at him intensely.
She said seriously, "It's about drug trafficking."
"Then you can say now," Daniel said. He pulled the car over to the side of the road and said, "It's just the two of us in the car, so it's safe."
Vivian looked around briefly. There were no pedestrians and only a few passing vehicles on the road.
After hesitating for a moment, Vivian reluctantly opened her handbag and took out a piece of paper. Then, she handed it to him.
"There will be a deal around this time at this place."
With his years of experience in handling cases, Daniel knew that Vivian could never have known such clear details about a deal.
It was either fake or someone had given it to her.
"Where did you get this?" Daniel asked.
Vivian looked somewhat guilty. She replied, "I have a friend in the underworld. He found out this information and sold it to me."
Daniel smirked. He found her lie to be far-fetched, so he continued to inquire. "You're not an anti-drug officer. Why did you buy this information?"
"It's for you."
Daniel was stunned and fell silent.
Gazing deeply into Daniel's eyes, Vivian said softly, "Daniel, let's get back together."Contents belong to NovelDrama.Org
Daniel's expression turned grim because he couldn't believe that she would say such a thing. He asked, "What did you say?"
Tears welled up in Vivian's eyes as she choked out, "I was wrong before. You loved me so much and treated me so well, but I didn't appreciate it.
"Now I understand, and I regret it, but I want to be with you."
"I'm sorry. I can't get back together with you," Daniel said lightly.
Vivian was puzzled. She looked at him and asked, "Why?"
"No reason," Daniel replied casually. "I just don't love you anymore."
Vivian unbuckled her seatbelt and turned around angrily to face Daniel. She said, "It's impossible! How could you not love me? You almost lost your life to save me."
Leaning back in his seat, Daniel took a deep breath and massaged his throbbing forehead.
Vivian continued, "After we broke up, you never let go of me, right? That's why you didn't find yourself a girlfriend.
"Sienna helped you when you were struggling, and you feel grateful to her, so you got together with her. But the fact is, you're not compatible, that's why you broke up."
Daniel placed both hands on the steering wheel. He said seriously, "Vivian, after we broke up, I didn't find myself a girlfriend because I was too busy to think about relationships.
"Also, I'm a spy, so it's not suitable for me to have a partner. If I truly loved you, I wouldn't have easily agreed to break up with you just because you said so."
"What do you mean?" Vivian asked as her face was extremely unpleasant.
"You pursued me back then, and I happened to want to experience what it's like to be in a relationship.
"I genuinely liked you when we were dating, but I didn't have the urge to marry you," Daniel said as he looked at her with a guilty expression.
He continued slowly, "When you suggested breaking up, I agreed without hesitation. There's no such thing as me not being able to let go of you."
