Chapter 120 - 120: Selena\'s blush

Selena squinted one eye and tried to release the arrow but as she did, the string of the bow pluck on her nose causing her to groan in pain.

"Ouch!" She wanted to cry, she has been standing for almost an hour that she could no longer feel her legs.

She asked Daniella to teach her archery only to realize that she can\'t do it but, Daniella didn\'t allow her to stop unless she hit the target at least once.

As she turned her head to Daniella which was leaning against the mango tree a few meters from her, she spoke "I have wasted a lot of arrows Daniella, I can\'t!" her shoulders slumped in defeat, seemed like archery was not as easy as she thought it would.

Daniella blew out a sigh and walked towards Selena, she stood behind the girl and positioned her arms in the air.

"Left-arm should be straight," Daniella whispered.

Selena\'s body stiffened by the grave tone Daniella used, so she gulped hard and followed her.

"Relax your right arm," as Selena did what Daniella asked, she found it easier to hold the bow.

"Now, release the arrow."

As the arrow made its way towards the target, Selena\'s eyes swelled. When it finally landed, a refreshing feeling rushed over her body causing her to scream like a dying pig.

"OMG! I hit it!" she said humping like a bunny around Daniella.

"Yes you did," Daniella said with a smile.

"Maybe I can compete in the national team," she excitedly said.

And with that, Daniella\'s face flattened.

"Are you two having fun?" out of nowhere, Evan\'s voice sounded.

Daniella and Selena turned their sight to the garden gate at the same time and found Evan walking towards them in his suit.

It\'s past five in the afternoon and the sky was slowly getting dark.

Selena smiled, "yes, I hit the target, see!" she said with her hand excitedly pointing at the target.

Evan halted in front of Selena and patted her head, "that\'s good," he moved closer to her face and planted a quick kiss on her forehead.

Startled, Selena froze. Her uncle had never done it before, and just the feeling that she made him proud has made her tiredness disappeared.

She bit her lips, her hands went behind and nervously played with each other. At that moment, she suddenly wanted to be the niece that he would be proud of.

Selena elevated her face to look at her uncle, "I have some homework to do so I will go in first," she said and ran to the house. Her heart was pounding uncontrollably just the thought of how sweet her uncle was right now.

After Selena left, Daniella went back to the tree she was leaning on and watched Evan from the distance. He was staring at her, the exhaustion from work was on his face yet a smile livelier than the sun\'s goodbye was curling on his lips.

"Are you not hungry?" he asked.

She shook her head, an indescribable peace flooded her mind, she felt as if this was unreal.

When Evan was about to move closer, Daniella stopped him.

"Don\'t," she smiled when he suddenly frowned.

"Is there something wrong?"

She shook her head, unsure why but her eyes became hot, forming tears from happiness.

"Would it be weird if I…" she paused and giggled.

"What?"

Staring at Evan\'s face, with the orange light from the sunset, she continued, "I ask you to marry me?"

With calmness Evan jammed both hands in his pocket, his smile disappeared, eyes narrowed, face turned serious.

He blinked once, and shook his head, "it\'s not weird but Daniella," he sighed and walked in big steps towards her.

Placing both hands on the tree next to her face, Evan leaned closer to her.

"Get your revenge first. It doesn\'t matter even if it\'s my mom, do what you have to do," he whispered.

She gulped hard, for a moment, the thought of forgetting her revenge came in her mind. She would do it, she would drop everything just to have a normal life with him but he said no, and asked her to continue.

Her eyes swayed with emotion. Lifting a hand to touch his cheek, Daniella smiled.

"Are you sure?"

Evan nodded with no hesitation, it was as if he had been thinking about it.

"If you don\'t, I will put her to prison for killing your mom."

A bittersweet smile was plastered on Daniella\'s lips after hearing it. For her, Evan would send his mother to prison. To get the justice she deserved, he would turn his back at his family.

What has she done to deserve this kind of man?

"Let\'s leave your mom alone," she sighed, "I don\'t want to hurt Selena, she loves your mom so much."

Evan squeezed eyes shut momentarily, "if that\'s what you want," he murmured.

"Jenna called me about the proposal you offered" she slightly pushed him away as she changed the topic and wrapped a hand on his arm, "I said no babe."

Evan halted and turned to her, eyebrows were creasing in confusion.

"I normally don\'t ask this but why?"

"Well, I am planning something else," and her calm face earlier suddenly flashed a mischievous look, "how do you feel about owning the half stock of your biggest competitor?"

Evan\'s head tilted in confusion, "what do you mean?"

"Well," Daniella ran her fingers on his tie seductively, "do you want to know what kind of deal they offered to Lumax?"

"What?" He asked curiously.

"They are not offering a simple contract babe, they want to sell some of their shares to us secretly," she waggled her brows playfully, "and they are certain that with the Su financial Bank scandal, most of your client will switch to them once they find out that Lumax made a contract with the Island Bank," she lengthy explained.

Evan took in a deep sigh, "I doubt Island Bank would sell their shares to me, they hated me."

Daniella giggled, "yeah they do hate you, you should have heard what the CEO said about you" she rolled her eyes as she said that, "Lumax will buy it and later you can buy it from us," and she winked once at him.

Hearing that, Evan\'s face sparkled like a boy that got his favorite toy, "really?"

She nodded, tiptoed to reach his ears, "yes and I can even give you a discount," she blew out hot air into his ears as she said those words seductively, "if you will perform well tonight."

Soon a whimsical squeal left Daniella\'s lips when Evan suddenly carried her in his shoulder and walked with big steps towards the villa.
