Saved Him, Now I'm Obsessed (10 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 117

Ian felt nauseated, but since he was in front of Jane, he forced himself to endure it. It irritated him like a fly clinging to the membrane of his eyeball.

Daniel, who was usually slow on the uptake but oddly perceptive at times like this, quickly realized that Ian had taken an interest in Jane—or rather, Claire.

All this time, despite Claire having saved him, Daniel had never even thanked her personally. The imperial court had expressed their appreciation on his behalf, but he himself had shown no interest whatsoever.

If it had been the Daniel Ian knew, he might have even grumbled that Ian had unnecessarily interfered and gotten him exiled to some remote countryside.

But the moment he confirmed Ian’s interest in her, his eyes gleamed with possessiveness.

It wouldn’t have mattered to Daniel who she was. The mere fact that Ian coveted her made her immensely valuable in his eyes.

What angered Ian even more was that Jane seemed genuinely fond of Daniel too. By nature, Jane easily gave her affection.

She was deeply lonely and starved for human connection; anyone who showed her even a little kindness quickly found the door to her heart wide open.

Ian knew this well—and had deliberately taken advantage of her warm nature to ensure she wouldn’t leave him.

Moreover, unlike Ian, Daniel was accustomed to effortlessly winning people’s hearts. He smiled easily, spoke kindly in a warm voice, and naturally drew others’ goodwill. It was only natural that Ian felt threatened.

If Ian hadn’t struck his own hand with a hoe at that moment, Daniel and Jane would have grown even closer. After all, Jane, like Daniel, was the kind of person who quickly noticed others’ strengths and chose to focus only on their good qualities.

She would have felt warmly toward him, unaware that Daniel was merely being kind to provoke Ian or that he was as serpentine as they came.

Ian felt proud of himself for striking his hand in time, yet his mind churned with thoughts on how to keep Daniel in check from now on.

Once Daniel found out Ian was interested, he wouldn’t easily let go of his curiosity.

“Brother, do you really like Claire?”
