Not A Small Town Girl (Danielle and David) novel Chapter 183

"Don't you think it is cute?" Danielle asked enthusiastically.

Holding the pajamas with a tail at the back, David forced himself to nod. "Yeah, it is cute."

"That was what I thought. You'd definitely like it." Danielle smiled happily, revealing her pearly white teeth.

David thought, 'This is your first gift to me. I wouldn't dare say I don't Iike it.'

"Don't try on the pajamas for now." Danielle took the pajamas from David and folded it.

David heaved a sigh of relief. He was so worried that Danielle would ask him to try on the… pajamas.

"By the way, I think I saw Cheryl Locke at the entrance to Nathor Palace just now. I guess she is here to see you," Danielle said lightly as she sipped fruit juice.

"Oh," David replied.

"She's here to negotiate." David looked at Danielle who was drinking her fruit juice.

Danielle understood and replied, "The two women have been in the basement since yesterday."

David said, "Yes."

At this moment, the intercom in the study rang, and David answered the call.

The butler said respectfully, "Mr. Charrington, Miss Locke is here. She's waiting in the living room,"

"Okay," David said.

In the living room.

Cheryl sat on the sofa with an elegant pose.

“Miss Locke, please wait a moment. Mr. Charrington will be down shortly.” The butler smiled respectfully and turned around. Then he ordered the maid beside him to bring some coffee for Cheryl.

Cherly held the coffee cup and took a sip. Then she asked softly, "Albert, how is David doing lately?"

"Miss Locke, Mr. Charrington is doing well," Albert replied politely.

"Is that so?"

Cheryl put down the coffee cup with a smile on her face.

"Mr. Charrington, Mrs. Charrington," The maid greeted them respectfully.

Cheryl's gaze fell upon the staircase where David was coming down hand-in-hand with Danielle. Their faces glowed with affection for each other, and they were talking and laughing.

Cheryl had never seen this gentle side of David. Jealousy surged through her, and she had an overwhelming urge to push Danielle away. She could not bear to see this woman hold the hand of the man she loved.

Cheryl clenched her fists, and her nails dug into her flesh, yet she felt no pain. Only the image before her caused her pain.

"Hello, David," Cheryl spoke coquettishly, completely ignoring Danielle's presence.

Danielle rolled her eyes secretly. She wondered why Cheryl spoke in such a manner as though she was still a teenage girl. She found it disgusting.

"The little girl is calling you, David," Danielle said sarcastically.

As soon as Danielle spoke, Cheryl, who was standing by the side, looked embarrassed. She thought, 'This woman has low EQ. She is just trying to embarrass me.'

Cheryl knew that it was because David loved Danielle and pampered her. Cheryl figured if one day she could marry David, she wanted to see if Danielle would dare to be so sharp-tongued.

David looked at Danielle and knew that she was jealous too. He was both amused and exasperated. He said to Cheryl in a cold voice, "Don't act as though you are still a teenager or call me so intimately. My fiancée will be jealous."

Danielle glared at David. She thought, 'Who was jealous? What was that supposed to mean?'

Cheryl's smile nearly faded. Was David really serious about this relationship? There was disbelief in her eyes.

"Oh, you're still here? What do you want?" David threw a glance at Cheryl and then his gaze stopped at Danielle.

Cheryl stared at David in disbelief. How could he totally ignore her? But she hadn't forgotten why she was here.

"Mr. Charrington, I'm here today to ask a favor. For my sake, would you please let Mrs. Marker go?"

Danielle had gotten cream on her face from the dessert, and David gently wiped it away for her before letting out a cold laugh. "For your sake?"

"

Cheryl felt like she had been slapped in the face as she felt extremely humiliated. "The Marker and Locke families are on good terms. Could you for the sake of the Locke family, be merciful and let Mrs. Marker go?"

"It's not up to me." David fiddled with Danielle's hand. His action was obvious. Cheryl had asked the wrong person.

David indicated that Cheryl should ask Danielle. Cheryl was hurt that David had treated her like that though he didn't bother about the Locke family.

"What would it take for Miss Darling to let Mrs. Marker go?" Cheryl asked with a smile, suppressing her anger.

Danielle yawned, feeling satisfied. "I haven't thought about it yet."

"Miss Darling, we are all women. Why are you making things difficult for others? As long as you say what you want, I'll try my best to satisfy your needs."

Danielle's attitude had already made Cheryl impatient. She was so presumptuous as she had David's backing. Cheryl tried hard to suppress the anger in her heart.

"Didn't someone make things difficult for me first? Why are you acting like a good person now?" Cheryl clearly looked like she couldn't wait to strangle Danielle to death, yet she still had to fake a smile.

Cheryl didn't expect Danielle to be so straightforward and not show her any respect. Cheryl said patiently as she suppressed her anger, "Why don't you let Mrs. Marker apologize to you in person? Miss Darling, you are a magnanimous person who shouldn't make things ugly for everyone because of such a trivial matter!”

Danielle thought, 'Here we go again with this hypocritical talk. If I don't set Mrs. Marker free, it makes me look petty. Cheryl Locke has all her lines planned out.'

"Mrs. Marker should be grateful that she was brought to Nathor Palace. If she had fallen into my hands, I wouldn't let her off so easily. She'll suffer even more." Danielle said emotionlessly, as she glanced at Cheryl, who was sitting opposite her. Since they wanted to punish her with generosity, she would do the opposite.
