Chapter 380:
Normally, courting someone wouldn’t warrant such a grand proclamation, but Cedric’s enthusiasm made it sound
like he'd already swept Daniela off her feet and they were preparing for their wedding.
“Ah...courting,” Marlin echoed thoughtfully, glancing at Daniela. She gave him a smile and asked, “Marlin, was
there something you wanted to talk about?”
Before he could respond, Cedric passed Daniela a glass of water and reminded her, “You haven't had anything to
drink this morning. Take a sip.”
Daniela gave a small nod, took a sip from the glass, and then turned her gaze to Marlin.
“Is there something you want to talk about?”
Marlin suddenly felt out of place. The way Daniela and Cedric interacted didn’t feel like casual courting—it

Marlin found himself at a loss for words. After sipping his water and forcing a polite smile, he decided to get
straight to the point.
“The Bennett family askedto pass along a message,” Marlin began.
“Alexander would like a chance to pursue you, Daniela. What's your opinion on that?”
Cedric’s grin disappeared in an instant. It was as if the whole universe had set its sights on the woman he held
dear.
Once Marlin finished, he could feel the icy intensity of Cedric’s glare. It was uncomfortable, especially for
someone his age, as he'd rarely been in such an awkward position before.

With an uneasy laugh, he stood and said, “Well, I've done my part. The decision is yours. My apologies for the
sudden visit today.”
Saying no more, Marlin hurriedly left the office.
Daniela stared at the closed door for a brief moment, her expression unreadable, before glancing at Cedric. He
stood there holding the plant, his gaze downcast as if deep in thought.
“Alexander regrets it.”
Cedric had always known it would cto this. He'd seen it on the horizon long before now. Alexander was filled
with regret.
If he wasn’t, he wouldn't have swallowed his pride and had Marlin act as his messenger.
As the words left his mouth, Cedric immediately wished he could take them back.
Despite what Daniela might feel, he had never planned to bring up Alexander in her presence.
The regret gnawed at him, fueled by his irritation at not having secured the title of Daniela’s boyfriend sooner—
instead, he lingered as just another hopeful contender.
Daniela, after all, wasn’t short of admirers; lacking the official status of her boyfriend, how could he possibly

His frustration knew no bounds, yet the words, once uttered, were irrevocable.
He tightened his grip a bit as he turned to look at Daniela.
Daniela offered him a smile. She was quite occupied today; an issue had cropped up in the Al development
project she was overseeing.
Cedric asked, “Are you tied up? If so, I'll leave you be.”
Setting aside the documents she was reviewing, Daniela looked up at the person poised to exit the office.
