Chapter 125: Meeting the Ex

  Daniel knew that his feelings for Anya could be seen as a weakness. He was not this in love with Helen. It felt like a drug. If something happened to her, he could die.   Even worse, the thought of her slipping away, of losing her to someone else, was enough to send a shiver down his spine. His grip on her hand tightened.   As the car continued its journey, Daniel's eyes remained locked on Anya, his mind consumed by thoughts of her.   His eyes made her uncomfortable.   “What?” Anya asked.   “I suddenly want to take you back to the hotel,” he said.   When she got the meaning of his words, she turned red in the face.   “Behave,” she warned him.   "Then let me take you shopping. Did you not complain last time that shopping from home was not really shopping?” he asked.   They soon arrived at a mall. Since Appletown was a tourist location, it had large malls.   As Daniel and Anya made their way through the mall, the bustling atmosphere filled Anya with excitement.
