Chapter 148

148 Two Men At The Same Time

“You... go away! No one told you to come here!” Zeline pushed Dariel’s large body as hard as she could to get back into his car.

“Hey, I really don’t want to fight with you just because of this. So let me worry about you,” Dariel retorted, turning to face Zeline so that the girl would no longer push him. He also held Zeline’s hand, the serious look in his eyes hypnotizing the blonde girl.

However, this did not last long. When a luxury car stopped behind Dariel’s car. The figure in the car got out. And it was Dante. Zeline’s sugar daddy had just intended to leave but was delayed when he saw Zeline with another man.

“Zeline? What are you doing?” asked Dante, his already upset feelings even more chaotic. Dante looked at Dariel coldly, just as the doctor did.

Zeline’s eyes rounded perfectly, she quickly brushed off Dariel’s hand. Her current condition was like being caught cheating. Zeline swallowed her saliva with difficulty when Dante walked over to her.

“D-daddy, this is... my friend,” Zeline replied with a stiff smile. She tried her best not to look panicked in front of Dante. Zeline looked at the two men in turn, as Dante and Dariel had yet to speak. Just staring at each other intently.

“Why is he here? Did you tell him where you live?” Dante asked, pointing at Dariel right in front of his face. “What kind of friend is he anyway? He looks the same age as me,” Dante continued to scrutinize Dariel’s appearance.

Dariel just smiled wryly and reached out his hand in an attempt to shake hands with Dante. “Dariel Mckenzie. I’m Zeline’s friend,” Dariel said in a friendly manner, his smile even sweeter until it made Dariel’s eyes narrow.

“Dante Wright,” Dante replied briefly. The man looked at Dariel’s hand without intending to return the handshake.

.....

Dariel also withdrew his hand because he got an indirect rejection from Zeline’s sugar daddy. Dariel’s smile still has not faded, he is still friendly to anyone, even though the other person is like an asshole.

“Daddy, sorry for delaying your busy life because of me. Daddy can go home now,” Zeline said as she took Dante’s arm and led him to his luxury car.

However, it was not as easy as it turned out.

“Be honest with me, Zeline. Is he one of your sugar daddies too?” asked Dante to the point.

“N-no! There’s no way I’m cheating on you, Daddy. I always do what you want,” Zeline replied in a cute tone of voice and leaned her head on Dante’s arm, but it did not last long because Dante immediately released the arm and moved Zeline’s body away from him.

Dariel, who saw this, felt angry because Dante treated the girl he loved harshly.

“Where did you meet?” asked Dante again.

“It was-”

“Does it matter? Do you have to know all of Zeline’s friends down to the bottom of the pit?” Dariel asked back and Dariel’s words made Zeline instantly glare at him. From his gaze, it seemed to say that Dariel was stupid and a jerk for provoking a commotion.

“Of course it’s important. She belongs to me, and must obey my orders. That is if she still wants to be with me,” Dante replied, he answered so calmly and did not get angry. Even though Zeline’s heart was already trembling for fear of bloodshed from the two handsome men.

“Daddy! You want to leave me?” Zeline asked pursing her lips sadly, her blue eyes glazed over. Showing her adorable side just for her sugar daddy.

“That’s up to you. I can’t force you to stay with me if you don’t want to,” Dante replied.

“I still want to be with you, Daddy!” Zeline whined, getting closer to Dante even though he would not touch her. However, unexpectedly this time Dante put his arm around her waist making Zeline actually come into contact with the man.

“I’m glad you still want to be my baby,” Dante whispered right in Zeline’s ear, his deep, heavy voice giving the blonde girl goosebumps.

Dariel felt something creeping and getting hotter in his chest. Of course, seeing this side of Zeline that was never shown to him, Dariel was jealous. Plus, Dante’s glance seemed to deliberately make him jealous.

“So you guys are really just friends, right?” Dante asked once again to make sure.

“Yes-”

“For now it’s still a friend, but in the future, no one knows. It could be a friend for life?” Dariel replied still with his sweet and calm smile.

Zeline was again shocked by Dariel’s behavior. Meanwhile, Dante only laughed softly, but it seemed that Dante was mocking Dariel.

“So you like my sugar baby? But it looks like you can’t have it,” Dante replied as he stroked his chin.

“Yes, for now. Zeline only needs your money anyway, so you don’t have to be that proud.”

Dante’s face turned cold, his sharp eyes seeming to cut his interlocutor into pieces. Dariel did not want to be outdone, who knows what demon possessed him to make him go out of bounds like this. Maybe it was because the feeling of jealousy had taken over his heart.

“Dariel, idiot. What are you saying?!” Zeline hissed very quietly, only for Dariel. However, the man completely ignored her.

“Da-daddy, don’t believe a word he says. I’m not at all-”

When Dante’s cell phone rang, the man stopped Zeline from talking first because he wanted to pick up the call. Dante moved away slightly, which became an opportunity for Zeline to approach Dariel and unceremoniously punch Dariel in the stomach.

“Why did you suddenly punch me?!” Dariel protested, grimacing painfully holding his stomach.

“You crazy bastard, do you intend to destroy my relationship with the only sugar daddy I have?!” Zeline retorted, still holding back from exploding with emotion despite wanting to do just that.

Dariel did not answer, just looked the other way and made Zeline want to hit him even more.

But it did not materialize because Dante had finished calling. Zeline also turned back into an adorable cute girl.

“I have to go immediately, there is no time to serve people like you. What was your name earlier?” Dante asked Dariel.

“Dariel Mckenzie.”

“Yes, Mr. Mckenzie. I hope we don’t meet again in the future.”

Dariel smiled sweetly and replied, “I make no promises.”

Dante did not want to deal with Dariel’s words any longer because it would make his business longer. He now focused his attention on Zeline before actually leaving there.

“We have a lot to talk about next week, Babe. See you later,” Dante said as he lifted Zeline’s chin and kissed the girl’s lips right in front of Dariel’s eyes.

“You said you didn’t want to touch me,” Zeline said with blushing cheeks after Dante broke the kiss.

“You know, sometimes I’m hard to live up to my own words,” Dante said as he wiped Zeline’s lips with his thumb.

And finally, Dante drove the car back to leave Zeline and Dariel. Zeline sighed heavily after he had been in a state of life and death.

It’s all because of Dariel.

“Zeline, I-”

Zeline brushed Dariel’s hand away roughly, glaring at him angrily. “Do you realize what you’re doing? He’s an important person! Why are you saying something that makes no sense?!” Zeline snapped.

“I’m sorry, I know what I did was out of line. But I’m just... worried about you,” Dariel replied, his tone softened by the realization that it had made him feel guilty.

Zeline smiled lightly as she shook her head. “Worried? You’re crazy, aren’t you? By coming here, you’re just making things more complicated! I don’t need it!”

“Sorry, sorry, Zeline. Calm down, we can talk nicely,” Dariel said, trying to calm the blonde girl, he held both of Zeline’s arms again but was still brushed off roughly. “Zeline, please. I realize what I did was wrong. I shouldn’t have been blinded by jealousy,” Dariel said as he looked down deeply. “Don’t say my worries are not important to you at all, please.”

Slowly, Zeline softened. She no longer brushed off Dariel’s hand when the man still had not given up on holding her hand. As if hypnotized, Zeline got into Dariel’s car.

“Once again, I apologize for challenging your sugar daddy,” Dariel said regretfully, but Zeline did not respond to anything and was only silent like a statue. This actually made Dariel even more panicked, he would rather be scolded by Zeline than ignored at all like in the current situation.

Zeline sighed heavily, she leaned against the car seat. Her empty gaze stared straight ahead. Until finally, she told him what had happened to her lately.

“I’m really going to hate you if after this Dante breaks the contract,” Zeline said to conclude her story.

Dariel looked pityingly at the blonde girl, without saying much he immediately brought Zeline’s body into his arms. “I really can’t stand seeing you always being treated badly by those bastard old men. Can’t you be mine?”

Hearing that, instead of being happy, Zeline was annoyed and immediately pushed Dariel’s body away.

“You’re not solving the problem at all! I really don’t have time to play lovey-dovey with anyone. You should know!” Zeline snapped again, she had intended to hit Dariel but it did not happen because Dariel hugged her again. Zeline still tried to let go, but Dariel’s strength was of course much greater than hers.

Zeline, listen to me. Haven’t I always wanted to help you? But you keep refusing. I can pay off your family’s entire debt. So, please consider my efforts,” Dariel said, very seriously with his words.

Zeline was stunned, she knew Dariel was not playing games. However, it’s not all that easy to imagine.

“Why did you come to this just for someone like me?” Zeline asked.

“Why did you say that? I love you, Zeline. Even though you keep refusing.”

“I told you I’m not a good girl, Dariel. And instead of being with me, you’d be better off with Arthur’s sister,” Zeline said without realizing she was saying something she should not. And even after that, Zeline immediately pursed her lips. She cursed inwardly for feeling stupid.

Meanwhile, Dariel frowned, surprised. “Angela? Why are you suddenly talking about Angela?”
