Chapter 3

Actually, Jane had met Daniel before.

But back then, Daniel hadn’t fully grown into himself. Not only was his face covered in teenage acne, but his body was a bit chunky due to academic stress.

Jane and her friends had even mocked him for it.

Calling him a toad whose fat jiggled when he walked.

Later, Daniel went to college out of town and spent his summers working odd jobs. He only came home for half a month during Christmas.

Plus, Jane and I didn’t get along.

So they hadn't seen each other for years.

Who would have thought that when they met again, Jane would declare she wanted to marry Daniel?

It was truly bizarre.

After Mrs. Chen and Jane left, I quickly called Daniel.

I told him about Jane’s intentions.

Daniel found it amusing, then casually told me:

“Sarah, I have a girlfriend. We met when we were studying abroad. We’ve been together for three years, and once my work stabilizes, we plan to get married.”

“That’s wonderful!”

I was genuinely happy for Daniel.

And I breathed a sigh of relief.

Jane was an expert at clinging on; she wouldn't give up until she got what she wanted.

If Daniel were married, she might be a little more intimidated.

Daniel’s voice was filled with bubbly happiness.

“Mia is great. I’ll bring her to meet you when I have a chance.”

“Good, you two should get married as soon as possible.”

Somehow, I still felt a sense of unease.

Like the sticky feeling of being stalked by a wolf.
