Chapter 590 I Get Married, You Must Return
During lunch break, Cade's call came through.
On the phone, he was undoubtedly telling Daniel to prepare to head to Regal City in a few days to meet his arranged date.
This time, Daniel didn't retort but agreed quite readily.
"Why the sudden change of heart?" Cade asked, surprised.
Daniel, smoking a cigarette, stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, talking to his father. "I'll go meet her, but I have conditions."
"Let's hear them," Cade replied.
"You have to let me meet Della."
"What?" Cade was shocked. How did Daniel know where Della was? Daniel really said whatever came to his mind.
Seeing Cade's silence, Daniel thought he was playing dumb and continued, "She took your five-million-dollar check. Cade could easily find out her resume address was fake. You must know her real address, right? I can't find her because you hid her, didn't you?"
"That's true. Daniel, you're quite smart," Cade chuckled. "You can meet her, but I have conditions too. First, seriously go meet your date. When you return, I'll arrange for you to see Della."
Daniel agreed readily because he had no other way to see Della.
He had already planned to go to Regal City, meet the arranged date, and then explain that he already had someone he liked. Surely, a daughter from a prominent family wouldn't force the issue.
If he could become friends with her, maybe she could help him find Della.
If he refused, Cade wouldn't have any leverage over him.
Meanwhile, Cade hung up the phone, beaming with joy. His assistant brought him a cup of coffee, which he accepted cheerfully.
"Mr. Taylor, what's the good news today?" the assistant asked curiously.
Cade opened the lid of the coffee bowl, smiling at him. "For the first time, I find Daniel quite naive. Naively adorable."
"What?" The assistant was even more confused, not understanding at all.
"That's not important. What's important is that he's willing to meet his arranged date. Daniel is really lucky. I met Regal City's richest man, Zephyr, at a dinner party. Zephyr was actually quite concerned about Daniel's background."
"Then why did he agree?"
"That's the mysterious part of fate. Zephyr's business is huge, and he has many enemies. He disrupted a drug lord's business. Remy was kidnapped by that thug, and it was Daniel who rescued her. When he was a narcotics officer, he took on missions others wouldn't dare. That mission was particularly dangerous. He not only took down the entire drug lord's operation but also returned Remy safely."
Cade smiled, reminiscing. "Remy asked for his name, but he wouldn't say. But Remy remembered his face. She always wanted to find him to thank him but couldn't. Later, I recognized Daniel and he started attending public events."
"Zephyr contacted me, asked for Daniel's photo, confirmed he was the one, and then asked for his birthdate to consult a priest. The priest said they were destined to be married. Otherwise, how could I, at my level, reach Zephyr's influence?" Cade sighed. "Being a narcotics officer, he saved his future wife's mother. If that's not fate, what is?"
The assistant was stunned, feeling like he was hearing a story. Such coincidences were truly remarkable.
He was also eager to see Daniel marry that lady.
Thinking of something, the assistant frowned. "But Mr. Cade Taylor, Mr. Daniel Taylor's heart still seems to be with Della."
"That's okay. Daniel's biggest problem is that he grew up with his mother and lacked exposure. Look at the women he's liked over the years—Margaret and Della. He hasn't broadened his horizons, so he lacks the ability to judge people."
Cade analyzed, "Once he meets the woman I envision as his wife, he might just fall for her. Then Della won't need us to intervene; she'll know to step aside. As long as I bring him and Zephyr's daughter together, the rest will follow naturally."
"True, if they're destined to be married, just a little nudge from others will make everything fall into place," the assistant agreed, nodding.
In the blink of an eye, it was Felicity's birthday banquet.
Raymond and Margaret had been busy preparing for Felicity's birthday banquet well in advance.
Silverbrook's elite all attended, showing their support for Raymond.
Margaret pushed a stroller, with Felicity already asleep inside, her tiny hands resting by her sides.
Her eyebrows were faint, not fully grown yet.
But it was clear she was a beauty in the making.
Daniel arrived with a gift, handing it to Raymond.
He had brought children's clothes, a pink dress, and matching shoes. They looked adorable.
Raymond accepted it. "Thanks, Daniel."
"No need to thank me. When I get married, you'll have to return the favor. It's not a free gift," Daniel smiled.
Raymond teased, "You, a single guy, getting married?"
Walter, following behind, also brought a gift and defended Daniel. "Raymond, don't say that. Daniel's going to meet the only daughter of Regal City's richest man soon."
Margaret couldn't help but ask, "What about Della? Are you giving up on her?"
"Exactly, after everything with Della, you're willing to abandon her. Bad man. Be careful of karma," Raymond joked, pointing at Daniel.
When Raymond mentioned Della, Daniel's expression changed slightly.
Walter said, "It's not his fault. Della doesn't want to come back. Now, she's made her own bed, and her man is running off with another woman."
"So you were the one abandoned," Raymond nodded.
Daniel glanced at Raymond. "When you and Margaret were fighting and divorcing, I didn't laugh at you. Why can't you stand to see others happy? What's your problem? I don't believe you'll have smooth sailing all your life. When you hit a rough patch, I'll be the first to laugh at you."
Raymond rubbed his nose. "I'm a good man. What trouble could I have?"
They wanted to smoke but didn't want to affect the child, so they went outside in small groups to smoke and chat.
Margaret stayed at the hotel banquet, greeting guests.
"Speaking of which, Walter, when are you going to start dating? Following Daniel around as an assistant, what future do you have? Can he find you a wife?" Raymond asked, biting his cigarette and glancing at Walter.
