Chapter 8

"I don't need you to do that," I said coldly, not even wanting to glance at Daniel. Gweneth awkwardly pulled me aside and asked what was going on. Daniel had come to visit me under the guise of being my foster brother. Since Gweneth didn't know the truth, she allowed him to stay. I thought about it but decided not to tell Gweneth about that ridiculous love story. Since I had chosen to let it go back then, there was no reason to expose that secret relationship now that it had ended. So, I made up a random excuse to brush it off. Daniel stayed for a while. He kept finding ways to bump into me "coincidentally", but I ignored him every single time. When William found out, he knocked on my door. "Miranda, should I help you get rid of that man?" I shook my head and refused, but when I saw how William's expression darkened, I slowly added, "He's my foster father's son, after all. I don't want to cause him trouble because of Daniel." Nor did I want the Denning and Griffin families
