NovelEnglishChapter 848:
Everything felt tangled and messy.
Cedric held her gaze, waiting—hoping—she would say something more. Instead, all she offered was a short, “Got
it.” Cedric remained still, waiting.
He braced himself, ready to counter any reason Daniela threw at him for wanting a divorce.
If she insisted...
Cedric sat in silence, racking his brain for something—anything—he could use as leverage.
After all, merely being a source of comfort wasn’t much of a bargaining chip. He couldn't exactly say, “If you go
through with this divorce, | won't let you sleep withanymore,” could he?
And what if Daniela, cold as ever, agreed without a second thought? He'd just be humiliating himself.
Cedric realized his biggest disadvantage—he and Daniela had no child. If they had, at least he'd say, “If you
leave, I'll take the child with me!” He regretted never making children a priority.
A thought struck him—was Daniela pregnant?
Daniela caught Cedric staring at her stomach, confusion flashing in her eyes.
What was that supposed to mean?
But she kept quiet.
Cedric waited a long time, but Daniela didn’t speak again.

After a moment, he said, “Let's put this on hold and talk later, okay?”
Daniela nodded. “Okay.”
The unexpected relief stunned Cedric. Had it really been that easy? Then what was the point of everything he
endured abroad?
“Go to your meeting first. I'll head home. What do you want for dinner? Should I have Josie make something?”
Daniela asked.
Cedric answered sluggishly, “Anything is fine.”
As Daniela turned to leave, Cedric reached into his pocket and pulled out a small, ornate box.
His secretary beamed. “Mr. Phillips picked this up at an auction overseas. A diamond-studded bracelet, engraved
with both your initials. Gorgeous piece! Cost him over eight million dollars.”
Cedric shot the secretary a look, part amused, part exasperated.
His secretary walked off with a knowing grin.
Cedric walked Daniela to the elevator. Once inside, she slipped the bracelet onto her wrist.
The bracelet shimmered under the light, catching Cedric’s eye and pulling a small smile from him.

Cedric cleared his throat. “You're the one asking for a divorce. Not me.”
Daniela gave a slow nod. “You really know how to treat your wife well.”
