He stared at me, looking somewhat speechless, "I've said so much, and you still don't understand what I mean?"
A moment of clarity hit me, and I suddenly realized.
What he meant was that he didn't want me to draw such clear lines of responsibility between us in the future.
He wanted to be a part of my life and help me deal with troubles.

Seeing my hesitation, Daniel Carter lowered his eyes slightly: "It seems… I still can't make you satisfied."
"No, it's not that." I hurriedly denied it, feeling guilty again.
Considering how good Daniel is to me, I really should be honest with him, without hiding anything.
But there are just too many chaotic issues on my side.
"In the future, if anything happens to me, I'll definitely tell you, but some matters are indeed not suitable for you to handle. If I really can't deal with them, I'll ask for your help. Is that okay?"
In the end, I made a concession and negotiated with him nicely.
