Not A Small-Town Girl
Chapter 46
"They couldnât have posed a threat to me," Danielle said calmly. Her strength was unquestionable from the fact that she had established the Shadow Fortress at the border.
"Stop putting yourself in danger from now on. Iâll help you to achieve whatever you want," urged David, concerned.
Danielleâs heart mellowed. However, she could not guarantee that she would not do anything dangerous in the future. She smiled and said, "I know youâll."
"You are Sphinx the gunsmith," David suddenly said with certainty.
Danielle looked David in the eye and asked, "How did you know?"
David grinned and answered, "Although the maker of the Black Rose is still a mystery, I think only Sphinx can make such a top-notch gun." Danielle figured David probably had special powers to sniff out all her identities. He had unraveled many of them, and he was spot on with this one.
"Mr. Charrington, are you saying that Mrs. Charrington is the mysterious Sphinx?" Nathan shouted. He gapped in surprise.
David chided, "Why are you making such a fuss?"
Nathan was easily excited. He didnât seem fit to be Davidâs assistant.
Elliot exclaimed, "Danielle, are you really Sphinx? I should have thought of it when I saw the pistol yesterday. How could an ordinary gunsmith make such a top-notch weapon?"
Elliot wondered how many more identities Danielle hid.
Danielle noticed everyoneâs probing gazes and readily admitted, "Yes, Iâm Sphinx."
Maximus looked at her with admiration and praised, "Danielle, youâre amazing. Sphinx is actually someone we know."
When David saw everyone surrounding Danielle, he glared at Nathan. It was all Nathanâs fault for making a fuss just now. Fortunately, Danielle was sitting on Davidâs lap now. So, David didnât need to worry about being left out.
Nathan mumbled internally, âSphinx is my idol. Am I not allowed to show some excitement for meeting my idol in person?â
Nathan grumbled internally, but he didnât dare to say anything to David.
"Danielle is sleepy. Everyone, please go back to your seats," David said gloomily. He did not want anyone to divert Danielleâs attention away from him.
Danielle argued, "Iâm not sleepy."
David retorted childishly, "Yes, youâre."
David then said in a mellow voice, "Take a nap. Weâve a few hours to kill before we land."
