Chapter 849: Cedric drew in an unsteady breath. "But there's a line, Daniela. You can't keep throwing yourself into danger. I can't take it." Daniela let out a quiet sigh, her hand resting lightly on his back. "I'm sorry." The entire ride home, Cedric kept his fingers wrapped around Daniela's hand.
The driver glanced at them, thoroughly puzzled.
Wasn't he supposed to just send Daniela back? Then why was Cedric in the car too? Back home, Cedric headed upstairs for a shower. Lillian eyed Daniela.

"What's this about?" Lillian frowned, unused to seeing Daniela hesitate. "So... no divorce?" Daniela swapped her shoes and responded lightly, "Hmm. No divorce." Lillian let out a knowing sigh.
