Chapter 1104 You're Jealous
Subsequently, the waiter placed the dishes on the table one by one.
Skylar smiled and said, "Cecilia, I ordered a sirloin steak for you. I hope you like it?"
"Thank you," Cecilia replied with a smile.
At this moment, Skylar gazed at Daryl and said, "Daryl, black pepper steak, your favorite."
"Thank you," Daryl said, then lowered his head to eat.
During the meal, Daryl and Cecilia barely spoke, while Skylar kept talking non-stop.
"Daryl, it would be great if you could get your PhD soon," Skylar suddenly said with a smile.
"Why?" Daryl looked up and asked.
Skylar's eyes radiated deep affection. "Once you get it, you can come back home and be with me."
"Don't you have a lot of friends to go shopping and eat with?" Daryl raised an eyebrow and asked.
"That's different. I still like it best when you're with me!" As Skylar spoke, she noticed Daryl's tie was a bit crooked and reached out to straighten it for him.
"Thank you." Daryl didn't refuse, a smile playing at the corners of his mouth.
At this moment, Cecilia couldn't sit still in her seat across from them.
Their intimate gestures and attitudes made Cecilia too embarrassed to look up. She felt like she was intruding on their moment.
The next moment, Cecilia suddenly stood up and said, "Excuse me, I need to go to the restroom."
"Sure," Skylar replied with her usual cheerful smile.
After Cecilia left, Skylar looked up at Daryl and said, "Daryl, Cecilia is so beautiful. What kind of man do you think will marry her in the future?"
Hearing this, Daryl hesitated for a moment before saying, "Everyone has their own fate. You don't need to worry too much."
"I just think Cecilia is really beautiful and very generous, don't you think?" Skylar propped her chin and asked.
Daryl pulled at his lips and smiled. "You're beautiful too."
"Really? So, who do you think is more beautiful, me or Cecilia?" Skylar asked, touching her face.
Hearing this, Daryl hesitated for a moment, then suddenly took out his phone from his pocket and frowned. "Wait, I have an important call to make. I'll be right back."
Hearing this, Skylar raised an eyebrow and said, "Alright."
With Skylar's permission, Daryl got up and quickly walked out of the restaurant.
Watching Daryl's departing figure, Skylar's eyes lost focus for a moment, then she turned to look at Cecilia's seat with a hint of malice in her eyes.
Cecilia lingered in the restroom for several minutes before coming out. She regretted coming to this meal. If she had known Daryl would be here, she wouldn't have come at all.
Just as she walked out of the restroom, a figure suddenly appeared, grabbed her arm, and pulled her to a nearby terrace.
"What are you doing?" Cecilia angrily shook off Daryl's hand when she realized it was him.
"I should be asking you what you're doing," Daryl said coldly, staring at her.
Seeing Daryl's frowning and angry expression, Cecilia immediately understood what he was questioning her about.
The next moment, Cecilia retorted, "You don't want me to get close to Skylar, do you?"
"You're doing it on purpose, aren't you? What are you up to?" Daryl asked in a low voice.
Hearing this, Cecilia suddenly gave a cold smile and stared at Daryl. "What? Are you afraid I'll tell Skylar about us? Are you nervous?"
Hearing this, Daryl put his hands in his pockets, turned, and looked at the distant skyscrapers. "I have nothing to be nervous about. It's just that Skylar is familiar with my family, and I don't want my parents to worry."
Hearing this, Cecilia felt it was a weak excuse. "I think you're afraid Skylar will misunderstand and her family won't agree to your marriage, right?"
"What marriage?" Daryl frowned upon hearing this.
But in Cecilia's eyes, Daryl was just trying to cover up his relationship with Skylar.
The next moment, Cecilia suddenly gave a cold smile and said, "I've already agreed to be the bridesmaid at your wedding with Skylar."
Hearing this, Daryl was stunned.
Then, Daryl suddenly laughed and said, "Cecilia, do you really want me to marry Skylar?"
Daryl and Skylar were just family friends who grew up together. He only saw her as a sister. How did it turn into them getting married in Cecilia's mind? What was she thinking?
Hearing this, Cecilia suddenly asked with sorrow, "If I don't want you to marry her, can you not marry her?"
Hearing this, Daryl was momentarily stunned and didn't respond.
But in Cecilia's eyes, he was just feeling conflicted.
The next moment, Cecilia suddenly gave a bitter smile and said, "I think you and Skylar are a perfect match. Your families are close, you grew up together, you..."
At this point, Daryl suddenly stepped forward, grabbed Cecilia's shoulders, and pushed her against the wall.
At this moment, Daryl looked down and stared at Cecilia, urgently asking, "Are you jealous?"
Hearing this, Cecilia was stunned.
She mocked in her head, 'What right do I have to be jealous? I am just a bed partner. Cecilia, don't lose the last bit of your pitiful self-respect.'
The next moment, Cecilia immediately denied, "I'm not!"
For some reason, realizing Cecilia was jealous made Daryl's heart leap with joy, even though he had no intention of getting serious with this vain and fickle woman in front of him.
Hearing this, Daryl reached out and pinched Cecilia's chin, asking, "Are you or aren't you?"
"No!" Cecilia shouted.
Seeing Cecilia's firm denial, Daryl's gaze turned dark.
At this moment, Cecilia suddenly gave a cold smile and said, "Our relationship is purely about money and physical needs. Neither of us will ever be true to each other."
Hearing this, Daryl frowned and tightened his grip.
Cecilia felt her chin was about to break, but she didn't make a sound, staring fiercely at Daryl.
She thought to herself, 'Our relationship is just a contract. What more does he want? Does he want me to admit I still love him? So he can laugh at me and crush my self-respect? No! I only have this last bit of dignity left. I can't let him win. I have to hold on. I will never fall for him again!'
