Chapter 19-2

Not long after David’s departure, the Darlings made their way to visit Danielle’s grandparents. They’d just arrived at the hospital when Danielle’s phone started ringing. It was David.

She answered the phone and immediately heard David’s low, magnetic voice from the other end of the line. "Danielle, I’ve reached the office."

Danielle wasn’t sure how to respond. "Yes? Is something the matter?"

David hadn’t expected this answer from Danielle, which amused him. "What time should I pick you up tomorrow?" he asked gently.

"In the morning, I guess," Danielle answered. It just so happened she had time then.

"Where should I pick you?" he asked.

"At... my place," Danielle replied.

"Got it. I’ll bring you some cupcakes tomorrow," David answered casually. He seemed to be in a great mood.

"Huh?" Danielle was confused. They were going to see Logan. She thought maybe David was bringing cupcakes for Logan before she figured out that they were for her. She was surprised that David knew that she liked cupcakes.

"What flavor do you want?" David asked.

"Well. Anything is fine," Danielle answered flatly. She was about to hang up when David spoke again.

"I’ll get you one of every kind then."

Danielle began to protest. "There’s no need to buy so many."

"You’re my fiancée and my grandfather’s lifesaver. I don’t think I can buy too many cupcakes for you," David replied easily.

Danielle gave up. "Thank you then."

"Alright. I won’t keep you. See you tomorrow," David said.

Danielle hummed and hung up. David hadn’t expected that she was even less talkative than he was.

As soon as Danielle hung up, she realized that her parents and brothers were all looking at her. She coughed lightly and said, "Well, let’s get going."

The elevator doors opened with a ding, and the Darling family stepped out onto the nineteenth floor. The head nurse saw them approaching and greeted them with a nod of her head. "Great to see all of you here together this time."

Vivian took Danielle’s hand in hers and introduced her. "This is our first daughter, Danielle."

The head nurse was a little surprised. She hadn’t known that the Darling family had two daughters. She nodded at Danielle and said respectfully, "Nice to meet you, Miss Darling."

"Nice to meet you, too," Danielle answered politely.
