Chapter 328:
He scrutinized her features, desperate to decipher any trace of emotion beneath her composed, distant
demeanor.
Yet, he found nothing—no warmth, no hint of regret, nor the slightest glimmer of the affection that once filled her
eyes when she looked at him.
As he continued to stare, his disappointment deepened, fueled further by the alcohol swirling through his veins,
intensifying his emotions. He knew he was supposed to walk away, salvage the remnants of his pride. But he was
compelled to stay, driven by an insatiable need for answers.
The atmosphere in the room was thick with tension, palpable to the silent spectators gathered around.
Alexander's frustration reached a boiling point. Never had he imagined a twhen they would communicate

“Daniela, did you ever love me?” His question lingered, suspended in the heavy air. A hush descended over the
room.
Even Joyce, previously absorbed in her game, halted and turned to gaze at Alexander, her eyes wide with shock
and disbelief.
Joyce's brow furrowed in confusion. She tugged at Alexander's sleeve.
“Alexander, what are you implying? Why would you ask Daniela that? Aren't you supposed to have feelings for
me?” Was it because of the child she had with someone else? Was that why Alexander stopped liking her?
Disheartened, Joyce pressed on, seeking clarity in her turmoil.
“But Alexander, weren't your feelings formeant to be everlasting?”
Her innocent inquiry struck a chord with Alexander, sparking a harsh realization. Didn't Daniela promise to
cherish him endlessly, holding on to that love forever?
Yet, reality often scoffed at such ideals.
A sudden pallor washed over Alexander's face as the weight of the moment settled on him.
Nonetheless, his eyes remained steadfastly fixed on Daniela. Since he had asked the question, he was
determined to get an answer.
Alexander pulled his sleeve free from Joyce's grasp, turned to Daniela, and demanded, “Tell me, Daniela, was
there ever truly love forin your heart?”
Silence enveloped the room once more.
Alexander braced himself for her possible answers.
“Yes, | loved you.”
“My love for you was profound.”
“Why else would | have married you?”
Alexander's heart held a secret hope: to see a flicker of struggle, a flash of regret cross Daniela’s face, or even

to the storm of emotions he believed raged within her.
At times, a question was nothing more than a desperate search for affirmation.
Alexander longed to hear Daniela confess, “I loved you.” Yet, her response was nothing but silence.
The room, crowded with silent onlookers, mirrored her quiet stillness.
All eyes in the living room fixated on Daniela, who remained wordless.
Alexander’s expression grew cold and distant.
