RedNovelChapter 1488: She blinked until his features cinto view. It was Cedric.
"You're awake," Cedric said quietly.
She nodded once.
"What tis it?" Cedric handed her a glass of water.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"The day's over." Daniela took it, sitting up slowly.
Her eyes remained dazed.
Then Cedric's voice cut through the silence.
"You had a meal with Hamilton, didn't you?" Daniela's hand tightened around the glass. She hadn't planned on telling him, especially since the McCoy family was behind her mother's death.
Daniela understood one thing clearly: if Cedric ever had to choose between her and his family, he would choose her without hesitation.
But she didn't want him caught in that web. Hamilton wasn't worth the trouble.
Now that Cedric knew, Daniela no longer wanted to hide it.
She replied honestly, "Yes, I had a meal with Hamilton. Carol's probably already spilled every detail, hasn't she?" Cedric hadn't expected Daniela to be so straightforward today. For a long moment, he just watched her, uncertain.
She shifted in her seat, curling her fingers around a glass of water.

Breaking the heavy silence, Daniela finally spoke, her tone calm, almost gentle. "Today, Hamilton toldsomething else." Her smile softened, losing its usual edge, and Cedric felt the tension in his chest loosen just a little.
"He mentioned that when you visited him last time, the Loglil princess om happened to be dining upstairs. She saw you and wants to marry you. It sounds like Hamilton is more than a little invested in the idea."
Daniela paused, taking a careful sip-the cool water soothing her throat before she continued, “She wants you to divorceand marry her. Hamilton keeps talking about how wealthy they are, and I checked-he's right. Their kind don't drink from anything less than gold. They don't need to lift a finger in their daily lives-servants do everything for them. They spend their days lounging in sprawling estates, sipping wine under crystal chandeliers, floating from one party to the next."
