Chapter 439:
Shirley nodded in agreement.
“Exactly! Like a couple!”
Shirley’s face blanched upon hearing the news.
She had always sensed something unusual about Daniela and Cedric’s interaction, and now it seemed there was
a deep bond between them.
Eager for answers, Shirley quickly sought out Katrina to discuss her concerns.
“You're reading too much into it,” Katrina reassured her confidently while tending to her flowers.
“Their relationship is purely platonic. Consider how Daniela treats Ryan. She's kind to him as well. They couldn't
be married. If there were, Daniela wouldn't keep it hidden. Why should she hide Cedric?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShirley wasn’t entirely convinced by Katrina's reassurances.
“Listen,” Katrina added, “Daniela is much like her mother—hard to understand, but deeply loyal once you get to
know her. | was merely a servant, yet Brylee treatedlike family. Speople genuinely go out of their way
for those they value.”
This trust had enabled Katrina to marry Caiden.
“If there was anything official between them, given their prominence, it wouldn't remain a secret. They just
share a close bond.”
Shirley nodded, though her gaze drifted back upstairs, wondering about the allure of Daniela’s room that kept
Cedric returning so often.
Lillian shared her confusion.
“Something's really off,” she commented to Ryan, who was seated on the floor, immersed in his coding.

“What's up?” Ryan asked distractedly.
“Daniela and Cedric have been acting oddly lately.”
Lillian explained, “They're distant in public but seem close at home, watching TV together. | initially thought they
might have quarreled, but Cedric spends hours in Daniela’s room.”
Ryan, having stayed up all night working on a complex programming task, multitasked between coding and
responding to Lillian without breaking his focus, Ryan continued working. Lillian nudged him, asking,
“What's going on with them? Are they fighting or getting closer?”
Ryan dismissed the idea with a shake of his head.
“No way, those two can't really fight.”
“Are they together then?” Lillian speculated.
Again, Ryan shook his head.
“Daniela’s not easy to win over. Cedric would need a decade at least to make any headway.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAt that moment, Cedric descended the stairs, overhearing the tail end of Ryan's remarks.
He cleared his throat, feigning irritation.
“What's this now? I'm just trying to get swork done. Why bringdown? Do you really think I'm that
hopeless? Ten more years? How old do you think I'll be?”
Lillian caught sight of Cedric and felt a familiar twinge. She whispered to Ryan,
“Did you see how Cedric just smiled? It's rare to see him smile that broadly.”
