Chapter 358:
Frustrated, Caiden returned inside, casting a reluctant glance back at Cedric.
At breakfast, Joyce questioned her father, “Dad, why do you seem more concerned about Cedric than Daniela?”
Just then, Daniela descended the stairs. Joyce addressed her.
“Daniela, Cedric is your friend.
You left him outside, and Dad had to check on him with an umbrella. Aren't you embarrassed?”
Daniela’s expression turned icy, making Joyce recoil slightly. Today, Daniela appeared quite formidable.
She then looked at Caiden with a half-smile and questioned, “So, why are you more worried about my friend's
well-being than | am?”
Caiden, caught off guard, was unable to respond.
Daniela wasn't interested in hearing Caiden’s explanations. After breakfast, she went outside to dispose of the
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇttrash. As she passed by Cedric, his rain-soaked hands reached out and grabbed her sleeve.
“Are you still mad?” Cedric’s voice was low, unusually humble.
Daniela held the umbrella and asked, “Have you decided whether to tellor not?”
Cedric pressed his lips together tightly. He suspected that Daniela might have discovered the money he
transferred to Caiden, and he felt the chances were significant. However, he wasn’t willing to risk telling her
himself. He reasoned that his lack of honesty, compared to Caiden’s deceit, might seem more forgivable to
Daniela. He always prioritized Daniela’s needs over his own.
“I was wrong. Please forgive me, I'm begging you,” he admitted, offering his apology first.

Daniela simply glanced at him, said nothing, and returned to the villa.
Lillian, observing anxiously from upstairs, mouthed to Cedric, “Don’t hide it anymore. The secret is already out!”
Without hesitation, Cedric pushed open the villa door. As Daniela started up the stairs, Cedric, soaked from the
rain, followed her.
Daniela left her room door open.
Cedric apologized.
“I was wrong. | didn’t mean to keep it from you. | just thought | could handle it myself. Please don’t be mad at
me.”
His apology did not seem to have an effect.
Noticing a puddle of water on the floor, Cedric added, “I'll take a shower and cright back to make a sincere
apology!” With that, he quickly went downstairs, took a rapid five-minute shower, and hurried back upstairs
without even wearing slippers.
Cedric was in such a rush that he didn’t even have tto straighten his collar. Daniela cast a glance his way,
handed him a towel, and settled down to tackle her puzzle.
The entire evening passed without a word from Daniela. Cedric stood off to the side. As usual, Daniela engaged
with her puzzle until midnight. When weariness overtook her, she rose to sleep, disregarding Cedric as if he were
a shadow.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCedric stood there, torn between staying or leaving as Daniela turned her back on him, leaving him staring at
her receding figure. The room was bathed in the soft glow of a dim yellow lamp. Daniela’s even breathing
signaled her deep slumber.
Head bowed, Cedric held the towel Daniela had given him. Instinctively, he raised his hand to dry his hair with
the towel, only to realize it was already dry.
When Daniela woke the next morning, Cedric was prepared to clear the air. However, Daniela retreated to the
bathroom. When she emerged again, she simply told him, “Go wash up and chave breakfast.”
