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

Chapter 663:

Cedric went on, “You said I’d decide on whether we continue or part ways.”

Daniela still responded, “Yes.”

Cedric said, “Honestly, I don’t quite understand.”

Daniela’s eyes darted as her throat suddenly dried.

“What?”

Cedric’s mind churned momentarily, the words weighing heavily on him before he spoke.

“If you don’t trust me, why did you accomplish so much with me, even marrying me? But if you trust me, why keep parts of your life hidden?”

Cedric didn’t believe her intentions were only to have sex with him. He almost wished Daniela was after something tangible from him. At least then, he wouldn’t feel so vulnerable, constantly anxious about being rejected at any moment.

“Daniela, tell me the reason. Why won’t you tell me? Why did you marry me if you’re only going to shut me out?” His hands curled into fists as he struggled to maintain his composure.noveldrama

“Don’t make me feel like a fool.”

The weight of his words hit Daniela like a blow. She had never meant to make him feel this way. Her only intention was to make him happy, but everything had gone wrong somewhere along the way.

Cedric’s back remained turned, his rigid frame a wall between Daniela and him. His silhouette radiated an air of silence and severity.

“If you can’t tell me the truth, don’t lie either.”

The words caught in Daniela’s throat, leaving her unable to continue.

The room sank back into a heavy and oppressive silence again.

“I never meant to deceive you, but I can’t explain the reason right now. What I said still stands, so the choice is yours.” Daniela knew she was being unreasonable, but she had no choice.

“Or we could take a break for now and wait until later.” It was the only solution Daniela could come up with.

“Once I’ve sorted everything out, we can pick up where we left off,” she added.

By then, the chaos would be behind them, and Cedric’s past would no longer weigh him down. Daniela was certain she could smooth out every wrinkle and set things right.

“But if you’re still willing by then, I’ll return to bring you home,” she concluded.

Cedric’s lips twitched into a faint smile.

“Really? Wait? Wait until the danger passes? Wait for the convenient moment? Wait until you feel it’s safe? Daniela, what about me?”

Daniela froze, his words striking her harder than she’d anticipated.

Cedric’s voice remained icy as he continued, “Does everything have to revolve around you? What about me? You don’t care what I think. Is that it?”

Daniela fell silent, pressing her lips together as she struggled to find the right words.

After a long silence, she finally spoke, her tone soft but resolute.

“Yes. If you want to be with me, just follow my plans. The choice to continue is yours. If you disagree, then you can choose…” She paused momentarily, then continued, “You can call it off.”

At her words, Cedric slowly turned around. In the stillness of the night, he met Daniela’s gaze, their eyes locking in the cold, quiet darkness.

A single glance was enough for Cedric to know that Daniela had already made up her mind. He gave a nod, a self-mocking smile crossing his face.
