"Danielle, go enjoy your date with David. Don’t worry about us," Vivian said, her voice full of encouragement.
Sienna, on the other hand, could barely contain her jealousy. Ever since she arrived, the Darling family had
treated her with polite indifference. But the moment Danielle appeared, all attention shifted to her, leaving
Sienna feeling invisible-even Joseph barely acknowledged her anymore.
"We'll head out now. | won't stay out too late," Danielle said sweetly, looking at her family.
"Danielle, you're ditching your brothers to have dinner with srandom guy?" Xavier whined tically,
putting on a pout.
"Stop it, Xavier. Let your sister go," Howard said, giving him a playful swat on the head.
"Dad! Ow! That hurt-and you messed up my hair!" Xavier complained, rubbing his head with an exaggerated
grimace.
"I'll have Danielle hearly," David said smoothly, his tone carrying a hint of teasing confidence.

David's deep eyes locked onto hers, his lips curving into a slight smile. "It’s our first date. | didn’t want any
interruptions." Her cheeks flushed instantly, and she stammered, "W-who said this is a date? We're just having
dinner!" Her heart betrayed her, thumping harder with every word. It felt like a tiny deer was leaping around in
her chest.
‘Why does this man have to look so perfect?’ she wondered. ‘Is it really fair for someone to be this good-
looking?’
A waiter stepped forward and asked politely, "Mr. Charrington, shall we begin serving?"
David gave a small nod. "Yes."
