RedNovelChapter 1490: Daniela reached over and brushed his forehead, her touch gentle and reassuring.
Cedric met her eyes, and suddenly the dam broke. He seized her hand, pulled her tightly into his arms, and his words spilled out in a low, desperate rush.
"Can you not leave me? I don't want sprincess. I don't care about fancy titles or rubbing elbows with nobles. I only want you. That's it. Letbe the one to find your answers-just givea little time. Please." His voice faltered, raw with longing.

"Who said I was leaving? Earlier in the office, I just woke up from a nap and felt out of sorts. I wanted to talk to you, that's all." Cedric stared, dumbfounded, hope flickering in his eyes. "Really?" "Of course. Didn't Carol mention it? I wrote two words on the divorce agreement-'fuck off."" All the dread he'd been choking down finally vanished, replaced by stunned relief.
Cedric's eyes widened, then turned glassy as tears threatened.
"She never told me! That woman! She nearly gavea heart attack!" Daniela straightened, unwrapped the sandwich, and pressed it into his hands.
She couldn't help but smile as Cedric bowed his head and started eating like a scolded child.
"What had you so rattled?" she asked lightly.
"Look at me—I could only make a sandwich. I ought to be the one worried. You're the talented one in this marriage. If I say I'm hungry, you'd turn the whole kitchen upside down to cook for me. Honestly, what would I do without you? I'd probably starve." Cedric looked up, his laughter spilling out-unguarded and infectious. For once, the weight on his shoulders seemed to lift.
"You mean that? Honey, nothing would makehappier. I'd cook for you every single day." Watching Cedric's spirits lift so quickly, Carol could only sigh as he dashed down the stairs, all smiles.
She rolled her eyes and muttered to herself, "Unbelievable. A simple sandwich and suddenly everything's right in his world?" On the sofa, Daniela barely registered the low drone of the TV. Her thoughts drifted far from the living room.
Was Hamilton really the only one who knew the truth about her mother's death? Maybe someone else inside McCoy Group knew. If that was true, she had two options.
She could join McCoy Group, working from within to get closer to the truth.
The other option launching an m option ve alt-qut business assault-would force Hamilton's hand, pushing him to the edge until he finally cracked and confessed. That second option, though, would tear away any last shred of civility between her and Hamilton.
No matter how hard she tried to deny it, Daniela had always held back just a little. Cedric's connection to then McCoy family had kept her from going too far. The day Hamilton demanded she leave Cedric, her answer hadn't cinstantly. Deep down, she wanted to shield Cedric from the storm.
