Chapter 277:
Richard shot a look at Alexander. With a nod, Alexander signaled his agreement. Caiden departed with a joyful
stride.
As soon as he was gone, Richard emitted a sharp scoff.
“What an impudent request. If it weren't for your intervention, their baby would be undergoing surgery right
now. And all they promise is a banquet in the future? He didn’t even bother to bring a gift for you, and now he
brazenly asks for your help again tomorrow? It's astounding!”
Turning to Alexander, Richard's expression darkened with fury.
“Are you actually planning to go with that bastard tomorrow?”
Tugging the blanket over himself, Alexander settled into the hospital bed and replied, “Yeah.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtRichard opened his mouth to protest, but Alexander had already shut his eyes, cutting off further discussion.
Returning from his business trip, Cedric was met with the infuriating news—Caiden and his wife had once again
made things difficult for Daniela. He lingered in the doorway, his expression somber and contemplative.
It was only when Daniela emerged from her office that his demeanor softened into a smile. Stepping towards
her, Cedric asked, “Might | join you for dinner tonight?”
Daniela asked, “Has your grandmother driven you out once again?”
Cedric nodded, a rueful smile tugging at his lips.

“Indeed. She has forbiddenfrom returning hthis evening. Since Lillian and Ryan are already under your
roof, could you possibly spare a corner foras well, just for tonight?”
As dinner approached, Cedric persisted with his request. Beside them, Ryan chimed in, “We'll play games in my
room. We won't bother you.”
Daniela gave a nod of approval. Her hwas a frequent gathering spot anyway. Aside from the private floor for
Daniela alone, the rest of the floors were filled with guest rooms. Although each member of Elite Lux had their
own residence, they all had their respective rooms in Daniela’s place.
Initially, Daniela was hesitant. Cedric seemed the least likely to need her hospitality, yet there he was, seeking
solace in her home. She was well aware of the true motive behind his questions, though she had never openly
admitted or accepted it.
After the evening meal, Cedric made his way to her door and knocked lightly. Without waiting for an invitation,
he entered and quietly took a seat in a chair, his eyes fixed on her.
Fresh from the shower, Daniela was clad in a plain white loungewear set, her hair still damp.
“What's on your mind?” Daniela asked.
Cedric remained seated, his demeanor grave and thoughtful. He had not bothered to change from the shirt and
slacks he had worn earlier that afternoon. His intense gaze locked onto Daniela, unwavering and deep. For a

expression unreadable. The room was thick with silence for a tense few seconds.
Cedric’s face grew even more somber as he finally spoke, his voice low and steady.
“Daniela, it's been a year and a half since your divorce.”
Her fingers tightened imperceptibly around the pen she was holding, betraying a flicker of emotion.
“Yes.”
