?Chapter 446:


    When the warmth of the room seeped in, he reached out and pulled Dani into his embrace.


    Dani, feeling sleepy, couldn’t suppress a smile.


    “Did Ryan take Lillian out?”


    Cedric sighed, pulling her closer.


    “Yeah, she was being stubborn. I almost didn’t think I’d make it here.”


    Dani closed her eyes, a smile curling on her lips. Cedric suggested,


    “Can’t we just make it public? Not vex Ryan or Lillian?”


    Dani nestled deeper into Cedric’s arms, seeking warmth. She feared the cold, and his embrace broughtfort.


    She was used to sleeping in his arms now.


    “Ryan can know, but if Lillian hears about it with her big mouth, the entire world will know. I still have things to sort out.”


    More than the rumors about their rtionship, she feared people uncovering her weaknesses.


    “Don’te upstairs tomorrow. I can handle sleeping by myself,” she added.


    “But when I’m not here, you never sleep soundly.”


    Dani often struggled with sleep, finding it hard to rest deeply. In the past, she would turn to Cedric’s puzzles, working on them until she was tired enough to fall asleep. Eventually, she realized that with Cedric beside her, she could finally sleep soundly.


    She had stopped doing puzzles altogether, and the ones scattered on the floor hadn’t been touched in over two weeks.

    Just now, she felt a little tired, but still, sleep wouldn’te easily. Dani sighed to herself, marveling at how quickly habits could shift.


    In just half a month, her insomnia, which hadsted for years, seemed to have improved.


    “I’d eventually fall asleep,” Dani murmured, her voice drowsy, as her breathing evened out.


    Joyce, on the other hand, was still waiting for Cedric’s answer.


    In the meantime, she had gone back home once.


    “Going back to your parents’ ce again?” Richard asked, his tone indifferent as he looked at her.


    Joyce didn’t entertain him and replied curtly with a simple, “Yes.”


    “I heard Dani’s roboticspany paid out dividends?” Joyce let out a scornful snort.


    “Yes, they did.”


    Richard looked down on Joyce’s arrogance. His friends were curious about the amount of the first dividend from the roboticspany. Since Joyce held a small stake, Richard didn’t pay much attention when he asked about it.


    Joyce curled her lips into a smirk.


    “Three millionst time, and another three million this morning.”


    “What?” Richard felt a surge of unease.


    “Is that the total amount distributed, or what you actually received?” Joyce gave Richard a look of pure disdain.


    “Are you serious? Apany asrge as a robotics firm—how could three million be enough for everyone? I’m just a minor shareholder with no say in thepany. How would I know the total distributed? That’s the actual amount I received.”
