Chapter 449: Chapter 449: Such Daniel Marshall Scares Her

Translator: 549690339

Without waiting for Olivia Jenkins, Daniel Marshall went to Jay Bennett’s dance studio.

After training, Jay walked out of the dance studio, only to see Daniel sitting on the rest chair, his hawk-like eyes staring at her.

Instantly, Jay was taken aback.

She had never been stared at so intently by Daniel.

In Jay’s memory, Daniel would never come to see her without informing her in advance; he would never intrude into her life unannounced.

But now, Daniel had unexpectedly showed up quietly. His intense gaze made Jay’s heart tremble and her unease gradually filled her, extending to every part of her being. The discomfort caused her hair to stand on end and her eyes unconsciously reacted, but she managed to keep composed.

Jay pulled out a gentle smile on her face to appear relaxed and went towards Daniel as if nothing was wrong.

“Daniel, aren’t you busy today? You should have called me if you were planning to come over. I would’ve finished my training early so you wouldn’t have to wait.”

Daniel’s gaze felt somewhat distant, a little strange.

A few seconds later, Daniel’s sexy thin lips barely parted, his low voice delivering a cold response: “It’s okay, I just got here.”

Summoning her courage, Jay gazed into Daniel’s ink-like eyes, still unable to decipher his emotional state.

Daniel’s face, a masterpiece of sculpted aesthetics, showed no change, revealing no sign of anger. Suddenly, a pang of fear seized Jay’s heart.

“Daniel, let me treat you to dinner.”

“No need. I just came to see you and ask you something.”

Jay’s eyes narrowed slightly, and the corner of her mouth twitched unconsciously.

Obviously, she couldn’t avoid it anymore.

Even though she maintained her composure, Jay became more and more nervous, her heart filled with turbulent emotions that she could not control.

Jay bit her lip, then spoke softly, “Go ahead.”

Hiding the turmoil in his eyes, Daniel quietly stared at Jay, “I want your sister’s violin. Bring it to me tonight.”

Jay took another deep breath, her gentle gaze meeting Daniel’s deep eyes, not dodging his probing.

“Daniel, I’m really sorry! The owner of the music store called me last night, asking me for a favor, so, I rented out my sister’s violin. The owner said the other party would only rent for two days, so I agreed to help.”

Daniel’s voice remained deep. His gaze still calmly watched Jay, “Did the owner of the music store really call you? Are you really helping out of kindness? Didn’t you know that the classical violin is your sister’s treasure, that she wouldn’t even let others touch it normally?”

Unable to hold back any longer, Jay’s face became somewhat pale.

Her hands clenched tightly to hide her trembling, and her gaze met Daniel’s with an outward steadiness, managing to pull out a faint smile, “Such an expensive violin, if one always keeps it hidden, I think, it loses its value. If someone appreciates it, I think my sister wouldn’t mind, it’s like finding a true friend for it.”

Daniel tightened his lips, his gaze fixed on Jay.

Suddenly, he felt as if he didn’t know Jay at all.

Daniel didn’t say anything and didn’t scold her, which made Jay even more uneasy.

Unknowingly, she was terrified.

In the past, Daniel protected her, and she lived in a world untouched by worldly concerns.

If she no longer had his protection, she didn’t know what she would do.

Had she let him down?

Did he see through her scheme at a glance?

Did Daniel despise her, thinking she was despicable and shameless?
