Chapter 221:
In Daniela’s eyes, anyone who asked for a promise before offering something in return was just playing games,
and those who played games weren't worth her tor forgiveness.
Alexander's brow furrowed at her words, a frown tugging at his lips.
This wasn’t how he'd pictured it. He had assumed she would agree without hesitation, and they could start
building a future together. Instead, she brushed him off as if he meant nothing.
“What?” Daniela raised her eyes to meet his.
“You're not willing? Is it that hard for you?”
“Then seta deadline,” Alexander said, his voice low.
Daniela let out a laugh.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Do you really need a deadline to be nice to someone? Is being good to others just another task for you? Or a
project?”
“No, that’s not what | meant...”
Daniela stood up, carefully organizing her carving tools and picking up the finished jade from the table. She
looked at Alexander for a moment, her expression neutral.
“I'm heading upstairs to rest now. If there's nothing else you need, then goodnight.”
With that, she turned and walked toward the elevator. She stepped inside and left, leaving Alexander standing
there, stunned.
He was usually so quick with his words, but in that moment, he found himself completely at a loss for words.

Alexander couldn't sleep a wink after getting home, tossing and turning in bed, restless all night.
By 6 a.m., he was already up and ordered the housekeeper to prepare a variety of breakfasts for Daniela.
When Richard cdownstairs and saw what was happening, he couldn't hide his satisfaction. By the time
Daniela cdownstairs in the morning, Cedric was already sitting in the living room.
Lillian walked in and asked Cedric teasingly, “Is the breakfast at your company really that bad? You're here every
day now.”
Daniela let out a small laugh as she handed Cedric the hand-carved jade she’d made the day before.
They had recently acquired a new source of jade and had found sreally great pieces, one of which stood out
as particularly beautiful.
Cedric had been eager to get a hand-carved jade piece, so Daniela had decided to carve one for him.
Cedric took a quick look, not bothered by any imperfections, and happily tucked it into his pocket.
When Alexander arrived with breakfast, Daniela and the others had already finished eating. Lillian was being her
usual lively self, laughing loudly at something.
However, the moment she saw Alexander, her laughter abruptly stopped.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAs they got closer, Lillian nudged the bag Alexander was carrying.
“What's this? Trying to embarrass yourself by bringing this here?”
Alexander opened his mouth to reply, but Lillian cut him off.
“If this is your way of trying to get back in, it’s a little sad. We just had pancakes made by Cedric.
Your breakfast looks like something the housekeeper picked up at the store.”
Daniela offered a polite smile before heading towards her office.
