Rejected No More: I Am Way Out Of Your League, Darling!

Chapter 478:

“You two are out shopping in such a public place. Aren’t you concerned about running into Alexander?”

“No,” Joyce responded with confidence.

“Alexander’s on a business trip.”

Katrina was startled by this.

“Joyce! How could you be so careless? I just saw Alexander. He mentioned he’s heading upstairs for dinner. How do you not know whether your husband is on a business trip or not? If you cheat on him, he’s sure to divorce you!”

Joyce gave a nonchalant shrug.

“If he wants a divorce, that’s fine by me. I’m financially stable, and there are plenty of other options out there. I don’t need to cling to Alexander. He doesn’t love me, anyway. Don’t worry, Mom. I know what I’m doing. Milo is waiting for me outside. I have to go.” With that, she fixed her hair in the mirror and departed.

Katrina’s expression turned to one of disapproval. Losing interest in shopping, she headed straight home to wait for Daniela.

Meanwhile, Cedric, feeling the movie outing was lackluster, decided to return home and watch a film in Daniela’s room instead.

But as he opened the villa door, he was surprised to see Katrina there without Johan.

With a grave look, she addressed Daniela.

“Daniela, I need a moment with you.”

Cedric’s expression soured immediately. Why was it so difficult to have a private moment with his wife?

Daniela gave Cedric a reassuring smile, then told Katrina, “Wait a moment.” She then guided Cedric upstairs.

Cedric was still bewildered when Katrina stood and addressed Daniela sharply.

“How long must I wait? I have something important to say.”

“You’ll need to wait until I’m done here before we can talk,” Daniela responded without turning, her tone dismissive.

Cedric was then escorted back to Daniela’s room. He lingered there, gazing at her.

Despite being taller, he felt overwhelmed in her presence, as though she could easily sway him.

Daniela motioned Cedric into the room and met his gaze silently, saying nothing.

Under her intense stare, Cedric’s earlier irritation melted away. He asked softly, “What’s troubling you?”

“Why do you seem upset?” Daniela inquired. Cedric averted his eyes, replying, “I’m not upset.”

“Really?”

Affirming, Cedric said, “Yes.”

Daniela then rose slightly on her toes and kissed him gently.

It was a brief kiss, but it sent a shiver down Cedric’s spine. As he looked at her, Daniela questioned him again, “Why are you upset?” Her expression was cool and detached. Cedric, gathering his resolve, countered, “You’re my wife. Is it wrong to show my feelings?”noveldrama

Daniela simply looked at him. She then tiptoed again and delivered a longer, more meaningful kiss.

“Still upset?” she asked.

Cedric nodded.
