?Chapter 639:


    Cedric didn’t say a word, just pressed his lips together and tilted the umbre towards her.


    He had driven himself here. Dani climbed into Cedric’s car, and her driver followed behind.


    “Are you upset?” Dani asked, thoughforting others wasn’t exactly her thing. She’d never been one to hold back with those around her, always speaking her mind. Cedric, however, was an exception.


    “If you’re not going to tell me the truth, then don’t bother trying to coax me. I’m not angry, and I don’t need your pity.”


    Dani’s first attempt at offeringfort was aplete flop.


    Later, when she told Lillian about Cedric’s response, Lillian burst outughing so hard she had to hold her stomach.


    “Looks like you’ve offended him this time.”


    Dani sighed. After Cedric dropped her off, he headed back to Elite Lux’s lounge to rest.


    Since they’d gotten together, they hadn’t spent much time apart. Honestly, Dani wasn’t used to being apart from him. But for the moment, she wasn’t sure how tofort him—or maybe she just hadn’t figured out how to open up yet. She sat quietly on the swing in the courtyard, her eyes tracing the bright moon hanging in the sky.


    She wished Cedric could wait just a little longer.


    In six months, she promised herself, she would have everything sorted out. By then, the danger would be behind her, and she would finally be able to tell the world that Cedric was herwful husband.


    And then, he would understand the depth of her feelings.


    ???????? ?????????????? ???? ??????????????????.??????


    Nina had been watching for a few days now.


    Lately, Cedric had been returning to the lounge to sleep every night, no matter howte it was. Even if he attended a banquet with Dani, he’d alwayse back after dropping her off. Tonight was no exception.


    Nina went home, enjoyed a long hot bath, put on some perfume, and slipped into sexy lingerie beneath a big trench coat. Then she headed straight for Elite Lux.


    As the night grew darker, Nina watched the elevator numbers rise, her heart pounding in anticipation. Tonight, everything she’d dreamed of, all the effort she’d put into this moment, would finally pay off.


    With a bottle of wine in hand, she couldn’t help but smile as she pushed open the door to Dani’s office.


    But as the door swung open, her smile instantly froze.


    “Ryan? What are you doing here?”


    The door between the CEO’s office and the lounge was open, revealing Ryan and Cedric sitting at the table, sipping red wine.


    Both Ryan and Cedric were surprised to see Nina.


    Cedric furrowed his brow.


    “What are you doing here?”


    He was still wearing his deep blue silk shirt from the banquet, his long legs fitting perfectly in his trousers. Typically serious and distant, he seemed more rxed now. Under the moonlight, Cedric looked incredibly handsome, almost as if he wasn’t real.


    Nina swallowed nervously, her voice barely above a whisper.


    “I came back to the secretary’s office to grab something. I saw the light on, so I came in. Did I disturb you?”
