Chapter 33
As Daniel had predicted, after buying the medicine, Emily returned to Serenity Grove.
She didn’t know much about taking care of a dog, so she looked it up online.
Dogs needed to be walked.
After finishing some materials for her major change and some published papers, she took the dog out for a walk.
Then…
“Hey, fancy seeing you here!”
It was Daniel speaking.
He seemed to be in better spirits, less cold and more approachable.
Emily’s gaze fell on the dog he was holding, which seemed to be trembling.
‘Yeah, what a coincidence. Are you walking your dog too? Did you just get it?” Emily nodded, but her question was unexpected.
Daniel seemed momentarily flustered under her gaze.
He tightened his grip on the leash and asked, “How did you figure that out?”
He didn’t deny it, and he didn’t confirm it either..
“I have a keen sense of smell, and you don’t smell like a dog.”
“Well…”
Daniel coughed lightly.
He almost choked.
Emily realized her words sounded like an insult.
‘Sorry, I meant…”
“No need to explain, Ms. Johnson, I get it!” Daniel’s expression was calm, but there seemed to be a hint of amusement in his deep eyes.
He didn’t seem angry.
Emily nodded, “That’s great. As long as you understand. But you should return the dog or find someone else to take care of it. Your health isn’t suitable for keeping a dog.
Daniel was speechless.
For the first time, he almost couldn’t control his expression.
He lowered his eyes, suppressing his emotions.
The atmosphere seemed to become awkward.

Emily thought he was sad.
It seemed he really liked dogs. No wonder he greeted her the first time he saw her walking a dog.
After all, this was the mysterious and enigmatic Daniel.
Just as Emily was thinking about how to comfort him.
Daniel suddenly looked up at her, “This dog is very important to me. I want to see it often. Could you help me take care of it?”
What?
Luckily, the butler didn’t hear Daniel’s words.
Otherwise, he would be utterly confused.
It was just a dog bought from the market. How did it suddenly become so important?
He had taken care of Daniel for so many years and never knew he was a dog lover!
Emily was a bit conflicted, “Mr. Smith, I just adopted a dog myself and don’t know much about taking care of dogs. If I don’t do a good job, it might not be appropriate. Besides, I’m quite busy.”
The dog she adopted was meant for Liam to take care of when he came back.
Daniel’s deep eyes seemed to darken.
It made Emily feel guilty for refusing.
Ridiculous!
This was Daniel. How could he have such an expression?
It must be her imagination.
But then Daniel said in a deep voice, “Don’t worry about that. I’ll arrange for a professional dog caretaker to help, who can also take care of your dog. I just want to see Cloudy often.” Cloudy was the name of Daniel’s dog.
“Besides, if you don’t have time, the person I arrange can make up for that!” Daniel added.
Emily thought about it.
It seemed like a good idea.
At least it was responsible for the dog she adopted, Biscuit.
No wonder Daniel’s dog had such a good name. Unlike her, she named her dog so casually.
Maybe, just like her, growing up like a weed, she had grown up.
After they reached an agreement, Emily took Biscuit back home.
Daniel watched her and Biscuit’s backs, his eyes dark and unreadable.
The veins on the back of his hand became more prominent.

After she got home, she received a call from Violette.
She had blocked Eli’s number.
So only Violette could reach her.
