The Wrong Woman

Mila was confused. "Why are you bringing up Daniel out of the blue?"

Nathan's expression turned grim, and he asked with bitterness, "Just answer me. Will you pick him or me?"

Mila chuckled. "Daniel's right. You've always seen Daniel as a rival. But I've never had romantic feelings for Daniel. He's like a brother to me, so why would I pick him?" "Then, are you saying you'll marry me?"

"It's not a definite yes."

Nathan's face went pale, and he anxiously cradled Mila's face in his hands. "What do you mean? Are you considering marrying Daniel?"

Mila replied calmly, "I don't have feelings for Daniel. I have them for you. But if Daniel has feelings for me just like you do, it's difficult to say who I might end up marrying." "Why?" Nathan asked.

Mila pondered for a moment before responding, "Daniel has qualities that set him apart from you."

"What sets him apart?"

"You're more reserved, while he's quite assertive. If you both pursued the same woman, he wouldn't hesitate to make the first move, seizing every opportunity."

Nathan nodded in agreement. A smile spread across his face. "Well then, I guess I owe him a thank you for never having feelings for you."

"I wonder when Daniel is going to marry Sienna," Mila said, leaning on Nathan with anticipation building inside her.
