?Chapter 541:


    Meanwhile, Dani nestled within Cedric’s hold, briefly waking to sip some soup before drifting back to sleep. As darkness enveloped the outside, she stirred once more.


    Opening her eyes slowly, she noticed Cedric sitting quietly beside her.


    Hisughter greeted her awakening.


    “Wee back.”


    Dani turned away from him, her eyes closing once more.


    “I’m done with that.”


    Cedric, sitting on the bed’s edge like a devoted dog, panicked slightly.


    “What? Why not?”


    He carefully turned Dani to face him.


    “Didn’t you like it? Wasn’t it enjoyable?”


    Dani’s cheeks gradually warmed with a blush. The color deepened, spreading from the tips of her ears down to her neck, concealed beneath the nket.


    Cedric, seldom seeing Dani this shy, was pleased.


    He leaned forward, cupping her face and locking eyes with her.


    In a gentle, teasing voice, he asked, “So, was I that bad?” Dani blinked, catching the gleam of desire in Cedric’s eyes—almost predatory.


    Her eyes widened in rm.


    “Cedric, I’m really tired.”


    ?@???? ??@t?è?? íń ??????????????????.??????


    He chuckled, touching his nose to hers as he whispered, “Next time, I’ll choose something simpler. This was a first for me. Go easy.”


    Dani was about to reply when Cedric flung back the nket.


    His hand glided up her smooth abdomen.


    Cedric mentally promised it was just a light tease. Previously, even if Dani resisted going further, he always had a way of yfully agitating her.


    He was confident in his self-control now.


    Yet, the moment he felt her silky skin and heard her subdued, breathy sounds, all restraint dissolved.


    Swept up by the moment, Cedric surrendered to his desires, captivated by the woman in front of him.


    Amidst the fervor, a thought sparked within him. Once he’d embraced such unrestrained wildness, it was difficult to retreat.


    Past midnight, Cedric enveloped Dani in a soft nket and carried her downstairs for a meal.


    He first reheated some soup for her.


    Then, he began preparing additional dishes.


    Josie, alerted by the sounds, entered the kitchen, but Cedric assured her he was fine on his own.


    At the dining table, Josieplimented Dani.


    “Cedric is quite skilled in the kitchen. He’s got everything under control.”


    Dani offered a weary smile in agreement.


    As she bent to sip her soup, the nket slid down. Her loosely fitting top exposed a few red marks at her neckline.


    Josie noticed, then chuckled before her expression turned slightly serious.


    “You should warn him to take it easy. Going two days without food is too much for anyone.” Despite her concern, Josie felt content.
