NovelEnglishChapter 1113: The maid stiffened when she saw them. "Who are you? What gives you the right to burst into someone else's hlike this?" Daniela turned her head and spoke evenly. "This place belongs to me." Recognition hit the maid all at once. She realized who was standing in front of her. Her voice rose as she called out, "Sir, Daniela's here!" Caiden had just started down the stairs. But the moment he heard her voice, he froze and quietly turned back. His steps were careful, but when he locked his door, the click was far too loud. Downstairs, they all heard it.
The maid looked away, clearly embarrassed. More locks clicked behind him.

Daniela glanced upstairs and gave a small nod. "Looks like they're not coming down. All this food, and they're just going to let it sit? Guess the three of us will have to judge your cooking instead." They all took their seats at the table.
Tasha Byrd had clearly done something right. Even Caiden, who was known for turning up his nose at most dishes, wouldn't have complained. Carol kept her head low as she ate. Cedric kept his eyes on Daniela while she placed a crab claw onto his plate.
"Go ahead. Try it." That was when he finally started eating. There was a quiet fear in him now. Daniela talked about divorce like it was no big deal, and that shook him in a way he hadn't expected.
If she hadn't shown up today, he never would've had the courage to cback. Not with the way things had been.
As Cedric chewed in silence, Daniela reached for a shrimp and peeled it slowly.

Of course, they picked the best ones." "I'll move in tomorrow. Get two guest rooms ready downstairs. That's where Caiden and Joyce will stay," Daniela said, her fingers setting the peeled shrimp onto Cedric's plate.
She didn't even realize what she was doing until it was done.
And when it happened, both Daniela and Cedric froze.
Daniela cleared her throat and quickly took the shrimp back from Cedric's plate. Cedric's eyes followed her every move. She coughed again and muttered, "Peel it yourself."
Upstairs, Caiden and the rest kept quiet, not daring to cdown. It wasn't until the dining room emptied that Caiden's door finally opened, and Joyce stepped out of her room too.
She caught sight of the half-eaten dishes and immediately fumed.m "Tasha, are you ednfused about who own's this place? Who told you it was okay to let them eat here?"
