?Chapter 332:


    “Don’t be scared,” Cedric whispered, his voice soft and soothing as a melody on a warm summer night, filled with promise.


    “I’ll never leave your side.


    You’ll never be alone.”


    Dani blinked slowly, meeting his gaze.


    Cedric reassured her, “Do what makes you happy. Pursue what you enjoy. Love isn’t crucial. Just focus on your happiness, and I’ll handle everything else.”


    In the reflection in Cedric’s eyes, Dani saw herself. She blinked again and said, “I feel as though I’ve known you from a distant past.”


    Cedric offered her a tender smile, reserved only for her. Leaning in, he tapped her nose yfully.


    “What’s with the puzzled look? You’re not as sharp as everyone thinks.”


    Curious, Dani tilted her head.


    “Really?”


    Cedric chuckled, stood up straight, and gently tousled her hair. Alexander stood a few steps away, observing their intimate exchange with fists tightly clenched.


    Internally, he was consumed by rage and despair, eagerly awaiting the day Cedric would face disgrace and abandonment as he had.


    Alexander was convinced of one thing—Dani was incapable of true love.


    Turning away, he addressed Katrina.

    “I ept your proposal.”


    Katrina was visibly taken aback by his abrupt agreement.


    “What?” she gasped.


    “I have one condition,” Alexander stated, his voice as detached as ice.


    “Anything!” Katrina responded eagerly, nodding.


    “Whatever you desire, I’ll consent!”


    Katrina presumed Alexander would demand a portion of the Harper family’s fortune.


    Instead, Alexander, eyeing Dani speaking with Cedric, dered, “As Joyce’s fiancé, it’s appropriate for me to move in early—to limate to married life.”


    Katrina beamed at the mention of “fiancé.”


    “Absolutely,” she agreed cheerfully.


    Alexander’s face remained expressionless.


    “Then kindly prepare a room adjacent to Cedric’s. I’ll be moving in tonight.” He was eager to personally witness Cedric’s ruin.


    He yearned to see if Cedric could withstand a decade of loving a woman who was incapable of returning his affection. Having stated his intentions, Alexander returned home to collect his belongings.


    Joyce, phone in hand, watched his resolute departure and tugged at Katrina’s sleeve.


    Brimming with joy, Katrina eximed, “Darling, did you hear? Alexander has agreed to marry you!”


    Joyce’s response was devoid of joy.


    “But he never once looked at me when he proposed.”


    His gaze had been fixed on Dani the entire time.


    Katrina brushed a strand of hair behind her ear andforted Joyce.
