?Chapter 632:


    Nina didn’t care about what happened to Dani. She kept pace with Cedric, her voice soft yet persistent.


    “Cedric, you’ve been walking for more than half an hour. Aren’t you tired? How about we take a break at this hotel?”


    Seeing Cedric remain unaffected, she pushed further.


    “Cedric, you really don’t have to worry. Dani is strong, almost like a man. She probably went home. There’s a nice café nearby. Let me buy you coffee.”


    Nina couldn’t help but admire Cedric’s striking profile, made even more captivating by the glow of the night lights. Her heart fluttered with desire, and without thinking, she reached out and tugged at his sleeve. In a soft, teasing tone, she said, “Cedric, could you slow down a little? You’re walking so fast, I can hardly keep up.”


    Cedric was anxious and frustrated. He had a short temper, and Nina’s constant attempts to get closer had drained all his patience.


    He suddenly spun around and looked at Nina coldly, who was staring at him with longing eyes.


    His voice was ice-cold as he asked, “What do you want?”


    Nina bit her lip and replied, “Don’t you know what I want?” She reached out yfully, trying to touch Cedric’s chest, but he stepped back to avoid her.


    “I really don’t,” he answered, his voice distant.


    Nina lowered her gaze, her voice gentle and alluring.


    “I understand your feelings for Dani, but the truth is, she’s only focused on her work. If she cared about you, she wouldn’t have kept you waiting all this time. Cedric, I’ve had feelings for you for so long. Don’t you notice me? When I was younger, my aunt always said I resembled Dani a lot. People used to think we were twins. I care about you, Cedric, and I’m not bothered by the idea of being the one you lean on when she’s out of reach. I don’t mind at all.”

    She took a step closer.


    Nina’s words came from the heart, and soon, tears began to fall. People passing by nced over, pitying the delicate woman.


    “Do you really think you canpare to Dani?” Cedric’s words cut through the air.


    Nina believed her honesty would touch Cedric, but instead, he gave her a cold and dismissive reply. She was taken aback.


    “Cedric, Dani doesn’t feel the same way about you. No matter how much you try, you’re just another one of her admirers. She enjoys the attention, but she won’t treat you like a boyfriend. Can’t you see that? You’re just a backup to her. The moment someone else catches her eye, she’ll leave you behind.”


    Cedric answered bluntly, “Is that so? I’m fine being a backup. I’m happy to be Dani’s backup forever.”


    Nina’s face darkened at his words.


    “What did you just say? Cedric, are you out of your mind? You’re the wealthiest man in the country, the one every woman dreams of.


    You should be basking in their admiration, and yet you’re willing to settle as Dani’s backup? That’s insane.”


    Cedric, however, was always direct. When it came to rtionships, he was careful, always maintaining a respectful distance from women. He never hesitated to make his rejections clear.


    “Yes, I’m okay with being Dani’s backup, but I don’t need a recement. No one can rece her—not in this world.


    You might look like her in some ways, but you have to understand, beauty is more than just appearance. There’s something about Dani that you’ll never have.


    You might seem simr on the outside, but inside? It’s a whole different story.


    You’ll never match her, not now, not ever. Do you get it?”


    Cedric’s voice grew sharper with every word.
