?Chapter 220:


    Danipleted thest details of the carving, blowing off the dust before cing it down and finally locking eyes with him.


    “You’vee all the way here,te at night, into my office, just to talk about this? Is it really that important?”


    Alexander, unusually resolute, persisted, “Yes, this matters to me! Back then, I agreed to the divorce because you asked for it. But I never truly wanted it, Dani!”


    Dani appeared to find itughable. Her eyes gleamed with sarcasm as she met his gaze.


    “Alexander, do you even realize what you’re saying? It’s like a man telling a woman after they’ve been together, ‘You went along with it the whole time, so I don’t need to take any responsibility.’ It’s absurd.”


    But Alexander stood firm. He locked eyes with her and pressed, “I’m asking you inly—do you have feelings for Cedric? Stop dodging the question.”


    Dani turned her focus back to the jade as she replied, “Even if I do, why would that shock you? Cedric was already the wealthiest man in the country long before Elite Lux came back. He’s good-looking, taller than you, has a calm nature, and knows his way around the kitchen. Sure, I’ve made my share of mistakes, like spending time on someone who didn’t appreciate me. But I’ve learned. Now, I only care about people who treat me right.”


    Her tone was direct, with no hint of apology.


    “Cedric treats me right and is exceptional in every way. He’s a solid choice. Don’t you agree? Or should I go back to wasting my time with someone like you? I’d much rather put my effort into making more money. With enough money, I could live like you men—keeping things flexible, always enjoying life to the fullest. I could even hire a good-looking secretary to make my office more interesting.”


    A yful smirk appeared on her face as she continued, “You’re here asking if I like Cedric? What’s going on? Don’t tell me, after all this time, you’ve had a change of heart and now want me to fall for you all over again?”

    The weight of guilt hit Alexander as Dani’s sharp gaze locked onto him.


    After what felt like an eternity of silence, he finally spoke.


    “Yes, Dani, that’s why I’m here. I’m begging you not to fall for Cedric.


    You can still love me, and I swear—I’ll treat you the way you deserve this time.”


    Dani barely stopped herself from gagging at Alexander’s words.


    She forced down the sick feeling rising in her and gave Alexander a sharp, skeptical look.


    Back when she had been obsessed with him, she could hardly take her eyes off him. But now, with no feelings left, her patience hadpletely run out.


    Leaning her head on her hand, she couldn’t help but find the situation amusing.


    She had put in so much effort before, bending over backwards, breaking her own boundaries, just to make Alexander love her.


    Yet, he wouldn’t even spare her a second nce.


    But now, without her lifting a finger, he suddenly wanted to be kind to her, all because he feared she might be interested in Cedric.


    What aplete joke this was!


    She wondered if Alexander thought she was an easy target, which was why he kepting to belittle her.


    If that was the case, she saw no reason to hold back.


    “You want to be kind to me?” Dani replied, continuing to carve the jade in her hand.


    “Well, go ahead and try. It’s hard to say if I could ever feel anything for you again, but just remember, your choices are yours to make.


    You’re an adult, right?”
