Rejected No More: I Am Way Out Of Your League, Darling!

Chapter 1022:

For some time, it seemed as though the entire world was in agreement that Cedric had become the kindest soul around.

Eager to spread the word, Cedric was itching to make an announcement, but Daniela firmly placed her hand on his arm, signaling him to keep the news private.

What was the harm in it?

The reason was clear: ruthless adversaries were skulking in the shadows, waiting for the perfect moment to strike.

Therefore, only Ryan, Lillian, Cedric, and Daniela knew the secret. In the privacy of their home, Cedric would beam with joy, regularly exclaiming, “I’m about to become a father! Daniela and I are expecting a baby! Can you believe it? I’m going to have a child!”

In the beginning, Ryan and Lillian matched his enthusiasm. To celebrate, they orchestrated a cozy, intimate gathering just for the four of them in their basement. But as the weeks slipped by, the novelty began to fade for Ryan and Lillian, though Cedric’s enthusiasm never waned, as if the revelation were perpetually fresh.noveldrama

Ryan and Lillian couldn’t fathom his persistent excitement. It was only a child, wasn’t it? What was the reason for such a commotion?

Cedric would retort with fervent conviction, “Indeed it is!”

Daniela cherished watching Cedric radiate such unstoppable joy. Alexander’s presence would have delighted her more if he hadn’t been so persistent in lingering around.

“Daniela, have you made your choice yet? When will you leave him and be with me? I bring much more to the table than Cedric does at the moment. I’m at the helm of the commerce association, commanding the support of thousands of companies that could benefit you.”

Alexander gazed at Daniela with unabashed adoration, utterly captivated by her. Just as he inched closer, intent on making his point, Hackett stormed in, flanked by his entourage, and headed straight for Daniela.

Stepping protectively in front of her, Alexander shielded Daniela with his body. “Stay behind me,” he murmured to her. “These men are from the association, and I’ll handle them.”

But before he could elaborate, Hackett seized Alexander, dragged him aside forcefully, and tossed him out of the way.

“Daniela! Your hands are stained with blood. You’re responsible for Marcus’ death, aren’t you?” Hackett accused, his eyes burning with a fierce intensity as if he could strike her down on the spot.

Reeling from Hackett’s furious accusation, Alexander stood to one side, shocked. Daniela began to step forward, only for someone to grasp her hand and pull her back.

Daniela turned sharply, her senses heightened by the familiar scent of cologne that filled the air.

Cedric had arrived.

Stepping forward, he positioned himself protectively in front of Daniela. Daniela had no fear of this crowd, yet a soft, amused smile still played on her lips.

“You’re accusing my wife of killing Marcus? Got any proof?” Cedric’s voice was icy as he gripped Daniela’s hand, his sharp gaze fixed on the people before him.
