Chapter 421:
The manager's smile didn’t waver.
“No problem, we'll leave it out.”
Cedric continued to peruse the menu with an eagle eye, while the manager kept up a facade of calm but was
internally baffled. Hadn't Cedric been married before? Why all this fuss over a meal? He had designed the menu
himself, hadn't he? So why this meticulous inspection? To an outsider, it could appear as though this wasn’t even
Cedric’s own restaurant.
Daniela also felt Cedric was being overly meticulous. She was on the verge of speaking up when he suddenly
stood, smoothly took off his suit jacket, shook it out, and hung it neatly on the back of his chair. He turned to her
and said warmly, “Just wait here for me. I'll cook for you on our first day as husband and wife.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtDaniela was momentarily speechless. Cedric was already on his way to the kitchen.
The manager tucked the menu away and leaned in.
“Madam, would you care for a drink? Our boss has a few rare bottles stashed away, each a small fortune now.
Shall we open one to celebrate?”
Daniela was about to decline, but Cedric reappeared, donning an apron.
“Open the most expensive one. It has a fruity undertone you'll appreciate, Daniela. | bought it thinking of you.
Go ahead, try it!”
Cedric’s culinary skills were exceptional. He rested his chin in his hand, watching her reaction closely.
“So, how is it?” Since they had registered their marriage, Cedric’s smile hadn't faded. Seeing his unabated cheer,
Daniela found herself smiling back.
“It’s delicious,” she admitted.
“Then I'll make it for you every day,” Cedric declared, his tone affectionate as if rehearsed many times over.
Daniela didn’t protest. She didn’t believe Cedric would hold to his word. She had long cultivated a practice of not
relying on others’ promises. That way, disappointment was less likely to sting.
Cedric could tell right away that Daniela didn’t believe him, but it didn’t bother him. After all, she was right there
with him, and the marriage certificate was safely tucked in his pocket. He was now her legal husband, and he felt
no worry in the slightest.
After dinner, Cedric suggested they go out for a movie.
Daniela watched the screen with keen interest. Out of the blue, she felt a touch from the side, which jolted her.
She was about to pull away reflexively when the familiar voice whispered, “Honey, it's me.”
That moment clarified everything for Daniela. She remembered she was married now, and the man beside her
was her husband.
Cedric, with a gentle smile, took Daniela’s hand in his, rested it on his knee, and murmured, “Honey, your hands
feel cold. Allowto warm them.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmDaniela bit her lip slightly. Hearing that made her heart flutter unexpectedly. She wondered why this particular
nicknmade her feel so different when it cfrom Cedric. It seemed like a tender caress to her heart.
This was a new sensation for her, one she had not felt with Alexander or during their marriage.
The feeling was strange.
Yet, she found herself not minding it one bit.
Daniela found herself gazing at Cedric’s profile. Feeling her stare, he turned and met her eyes with a warm smile.
In a soft tone, he teased, “People often compliment my looks. What's your verdict?”
