?Chapter 365:


    She reached out her hand, only for the boxes to be pushed back into Dani’s arms.


    Cedric, looking disheartened, confessed, “I bought them just for you. If you don’t want them, I might as well throw them away.”


    Katrina’s eyes sparkled immediately, her gaze piercing Dani with a silent question.


    “Where will you throw them? I’ll get them back!”


    Dani exhaled deeply and invited Cedric inside.


    “Come in.” Turning, she entered the room with Cedric close behind, the door closing to block the view of all the covetous onlookers. Once inside, Dani turned to Cedric with a frown, took a deep breath, and questioned, “What exactly are you trying to do?”


    In a subdued tone, Cedric replied, “I just want to make you happy.”


    Dani raised her hand, her expression skeptical.


    “With these?”


    Cedric found himself at a loss.


    He had considered many options, but Dani’s wealth made it difficult to decide what to give her.


    These were the best gifts he had managed toe up with. He had never wooed a woman before and waspletely inexperienced in such matters.

    Money was all he had to offer.


    He selected and presented only the items that were valued highly by society.


    However, Dani did not seem impressed.


    Looking dejected, Cedric retrieved the gift boxes from Dani’s hands.


    Suddenly, an unexpected idea came to him.


    He contemted giving Caiden three hundred million dors, so that Caiden would tell him how to make Dani happy.


    In the midst of the burgeoning AI project, Dani was buried under an avnche of work.


    Unbeknownst to her, Caiden stumbled upon her deep financialmitments while tuning into the evening news.


    As the anchor ryed the staggering figures invested, a seed of resentment sprouted in Caiden’s heart against Dani.


    That night, long after the witching hour, Caiden perched in the living room, awaiting Dani’s return. The moment she stepped through the door, his greeting sliced through the silence.


    “Busy night?”


    Dani paused, noting his presence—a rare urrence. A slight smile yed on her lips.


    “What an odd surprise.” Caiden detected the undertone of sarcasm and clenched his fists, only to rx them with effort and muster a smile.


    “Odd? You’re spouting nonsense. It’ste. How about I whip up something for you to eat?”


    Massaging her temples, Dani sensed an ulterior motive.


    “Cut to the chase.”


    Caiden’s face felt pped by her directness.


    Though he aimed for friendliness, her cold response stung him. He ruminated on the bitterness of nurturing such an ungrateful daughter.
