Rejected No More: I Am Way Out Of Your League, Darling!

Chapter 835:

Daniela stayed quiet for a while. Eventually, she murmured, “But what if losing him hurts more than the episodes?”

Lillian remained quiet, and a heavy silence filled the room.

“Daniela…” Lillian eventually broke the silence, her voice low. “Do you really think Cedric would be happy living like this?”

Daniela looked up sharply.

Lillian’s face remained unreadable, but inside, a storm of conflict raged, pushing her to speak her mind.

The evening before, as Lee was leaving, he had warned her, “You have to ask Daniela to divorce Cedric, or things will escalate. This is only the start.” The notion that a man’s love could eternally remain strong was a fantasy; lasting love was just a fairytale.

This episode with Cedric had clearly demonstrated this.

Lillian searched for a retort but came up empty. Under Lee’s mysterious gaze, she reluctantly nodded in agreement.

Lillian saw Daniela’s hands begin to tremble. She felt a pang of sorrow, yet her determination hardened.

“Daniela, you’re a perfectionist, and so is Cedric. He’s always hoped for complete honesty from you, but your resistance is only pushing him away. Why prolong the suffering? If you end things now, at least some fondness can remain.”

Lillian observed the hurt flickering in Daniela’s eyes.

Finding it too difficult to continue, Lillian took out the divorce agreement she had prepared beforehand.

“Daniela, consider my words carefully. Cedric has been waiting downstairs all evening, and people are starting to whisper. I’ll go bring him up.” With those words, Lillian exited, the door closing with a click.

Daniela’s eyes settled on the divorce agreement, the words stabbing at her heart.

Her heart felt squeezed, leaving her gasping for air.

Lillian’s words echoed in her mind.

“Have you considered what Cedric truly desires? Are you able to provide the life he seeks?”

Daniela remained seated, enveloped in silence, for a long time.

Cedric burst through the door, finding Daniela at her desk in the CEO’s office. The sky outside was turning a foreboding gray, with dense clouds hanging low, signaling an imminent storm.

As Cedric’s eyes settled on Daniela, the room’s vast windows cast long shadows that seemed to surround her. A chill of apprehension washed over Cedric.noveldrama

A sudden, unexplainable fear clawed at him, rooting him in place and making him hesitate before stepping deeper into the room.

It was as if he stood on the edge of a revelation he wasn’t ready to face. Despite his reluctance, he advanced into the room, his footsteps quick and his anxiety mounting.

“Are you alright, dear?”

Typically, Daniela would be lounging on the sofa, easily within reach for a warm embrace as soon as he entered.

Today, however, Daniela was positioned formally behind her desk, her demeanor cool and detached.
