To love You Again, My Husband
Chapter 95: Clash of Thoughts and Emotions Airina’s POV
From what I know this is the first time I’ll ever have dinner with Daniel. Well, I am also getting tired of just eating with Matthew, so a new partner is a nice change. Since Jackson said to focus on us, I might as well just try to know people. Rather than only accepting those near me.
“Rina, here!” I heard Daniel waving his hand at me. He was wearing a casual-formal attire. It wasn’t that formal, but it can’t be said that it was a complete casual. I supposed he was making me comfortable.
I smiled at him and then sat across from him as I exhaled loudly. “Did you wait long?”
He shook his head, smiling, “Of course, not. I came just five minutes before you came.”
“I had some errands so got here quite late.”
“Nah, you’re fine. No one will be going to punish you if you are late,” We subsequently laughed at each other, then he added after calming himself, “What do you want to eat?”
“I am not that picky, but I think I’m good with stew and salad,” I pointed to the menu, “They look worth the price. What do you think?”
“Anything you like, it’s my treat anyway.”
I nodded my head, “Right, you’re the good guy tonight,” I cleared my throat, handing the menu back to the waitress and we ordered alternately. “How was the band?”
He linked his hands together, pondering about it. The last time I heard about his band was that it was going not so well due to the fans’ wishes. But for me, it was a good try because people love their covers and their one original song that perfectly balanced their voices together.
He smiled at me, “Right after the concert we held in our small studio, some people were trying to apply as a cleaner of the instruments while others were inquiring if we’re looking for new voices and those who can play instruments.”
“Nice, the result is unbelievable. How did it go?”
“Well, as the fund isn’t that big, I only hired one new vocal and two cleaners,” he wrinkled his brows, “I have also discussed this with my bandmates. We’re going to elongate our studio, like make it bigger.”
I clapped my hand at him, truly fascinated at the fast good result of his studio. I am so happy for him, and I want him to achieve more than this. He deserves it.
“Mam, Sir, here is your order. Please enjoy and have a good time!”
When the waitress left with a slight bow, Daniel grabbed the red wine bottle.
“That’s a good prospect. Will you going to use media to announce your debut?” I inquired, looking away from the liquor.
He laughed, lifting his goblet, and filled with red wine. Afterward, he filled my goblet with the same drink. “Mhm, media is not a good help. It may tarnish my last name rather than enhance the image I have established hard for myself.”
Right. He is the older brother of Jackson thus using the media will not cause chaos but the whole internet will make it difficult to control. No one knew the inside of Georginia’s family hence unraveling the members of them will surely create a huge problem.
“Enough of this, let’s eat for the meantime.” He spoke to which I nodded my head and smiled.

Upon finishing our meal, I thanked Daniel for his kindness. We were having a good chat not until I noticed that with each passing second, his gaze turned darker than it was. And that gaze of his was directed to someone behind my back. Did he see someone he dislikes?
“Daniel, why is your expression like that?”
He awkwardly set his eyes on me, seemingly feeling like I had seen through something I shouldn’t have. I looked back hearing him trying to stop me, but it was already too late. Similarly to his expression, my face turned bitter and dumbfounded. Not only me and Daniel were having dinner but also someone I had been thinking about so far.
“Jackson..” I mumbled, enough I could hear. In the end, I gritted my teeth and balled my fists. My heart demanded that I shift my eyes from his face, but my mind said otherwise. It was a clash of fights between my emotions and thoughts. And who won?Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
I dare not mention the answer.
“Since you’re in a relationship with Jackson, you should confront him about his act of eating with someone behind your back,” his tone of voice was hostile and low, “I trusted him that he’d treat you the way you deserve. But in this situation, I don’t think I can stop myself from intervening-”
“Stop!”
Daniel widened his eyes at me. “What do you mean? Your boyfriend is right there having dinner with someone else and from the looks of it you’re unaware!”
I scoffed, “It doesn’t matter if I was or not. In the end, nothing will change.”
Daniel stood up, walking towards him. “I should give that man a lesson…”
“Daniel, stop. I’ll tell you the reason why but for now, please don’t create a fuss for the both of us.”
“… I hate that I am stopping myself.”
