?Chapter 378:


    “No clue. Looks like he’s reached his breaking point!”


    Driven by a sense of urgency, Cedric blurted out, “I promise, the secrets I kept before will never resurface. I swear to never lie to you again for as long as I live!”


    Cedric’s face was a mask of earnest sincerity, his heart pounding urgently.


    “Please give me a chance to prove how much I care.”


    Cedric felt he hadid everything on the line, yet Dani showed no signs of immediate eptance.


    He was on the verge of despair when he finally heard her soft voice.


    “Okay, you got it.”


    Joy washed over him like a tidal wave. He blinked in disbelief, then asked hesitantly, “You’ll let me court you? Really? You mean it?”


    Dani hadn’t expected to make such a decision.


    From simply dating, to trying it out, or diving straight into marriage, he had chosen the most challenging path.


    Yet, he seemed genuinely ted.


    Dani offered a smile and nodded.


    “Yes.”


    Cedric hurriedly pushed all his documents into Dani’s arms, then paused, realizing she was still busy.


    All the magic begins at g?lnσν???s


    “You’re working, right? Carry on. I’ll make sure to be a considerate suitor!”


    He exited quietly, even closing the door softly behind him like a true gentleman.


    Ryan and Lillian remained, squinting in puzzlement.


    What the hell was he thinking?


    He had chosen to court her out of three possible paths rather than rush into marriage.


    Was Cedric joking?


    As they were about to inquire further, they noticed someone standing at the staircase.


    “Alexander?”


    “Isn’t it just agreeing to let you pursue her? What’s there to be proud of?” Alexander smirked.


    “Do you know why Dani didn’t agree at first but suddenly did?”


    Cedric turned to him.


    “What do you mean?”


    With his hands in his pockets, Alexander replied, “Because she saw me standing at the staircase. That’s why she agreed. She doesn’t like you. She agreed just to spite me. Cedric, you’re celebrating too soon.


    You’re a tool Dani uses to needle me.”


    Cedric no longer bothered with the careful attitude he used to have around Dani.


    Now, he stood up straight, looking serious but still showing some of the excitement from earlier.


    “Dani uses me to needle you? Alexander, you give yourself way too much credit.” His eyes flicked to Alexander’s ribs.


    “What? Back in shape already? Did you show up just to get hurt all over again?”


    At those words, Alexander instinctively stepped back, his voice trembling.


    “Cedric, you’re out of your mind!”


    He couldn’t wrap his head around Cedric’s obsession with Dani. The man had given all his wealth to her. It was absolute lunacy.
