Chapter 336:
“I've spoken to my family about your situation. My father suggests we hold off on the engagement ceremony
until things settle down. If Joyce marrieswithout a dowry, she’ll be ridiculed by other families, especially with
a child in the picture. My family isn’t bothered, but you wouldn't want to see Joyce face that kind of
embarrassment. My father thinks we should wait until the Harper family is back on solid ground, ensure Joyce
has a proper dowry, and then he'll personally cto arrange the marriage with you.”
His words cut down Caiden’s plans, effectively delaying the engagement until Harper Group was stable once
more.
This was, without a doubt, disastrous news for Caiden.
Katrina, however, seemed undisturbed.
“Living under the sroof, it's inevitable that feelings will grow. Once Joyce has Alexander's child, he’ll have no

Caiden cast a glance at Alexander's door, his voice barely audible, “Really? Do you think it'll go the way we
planned?”
Caiden’s anger raged on, his furious voice carrying up from downstairs, barely softened by the thin walls.
“Daniela! If I had known things would end up like this, | would have never brought you into this world! You're just
like your mother—cold and heartless.
You're doomed to be alone forever!”
Daniela sat cross-legged on the floor in her room, engrossed in a puzzle.

Cedric had gifted it to her, urging her to take a break and indulge in srelaxation instead of working nonstop.
She found peace in the quiet, and Cedric had brought over eighty thousand pieces, now scattered across the
floor. When Cedric knocked and stepped inside, he found Daniela on the floor, fitting pieces together.
Her face stayed blank, void of any emotion.
Daniela usually had a bright, cheerful demeanor, and when she smiled, her eyes sparkled as if they could light
up the entire world. But now, with her silence and lack of expression, it felt as though titself had cto a
halt.
Cedric was in his casual clothes and sat down beside Daniela, crossing his legs as he joined her in the puzzle.
The two worked in quiet harmony, exchanging pieces wordlessly until Lillian knocked on the door and
announced, “Tfor bed.”
Only then did Daniela glance up and give a small nod. Her gaze met Cedric’s, and his face softened into a smile.
“What is it?” Daniela inquired.
Cedric leaned in slightly, and for a moment, Lillian thought he was about to kiss Daniela. But he didn’t. He
stopped just in front of her, and Daniela stayed still, unmoved by his proximity.
“What's going on?” Daniela blinked, the overhead light casting a delicate shadow over her eyelashes.
Cedric stayed silent and rubbed his hands together before gently pressing his warm palms against Daniela’s
ears, a soothing gesture to warm her up.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmDaniela remained motionless, her eyes locking with Cedric’s, their faces just inches apart. She couldn't help but
notice the sharp, straight line of Cedric’s nose and how appealing his lips looked.
“Just trying to warm up your ears,” Cedric said with a smile.
“Don’t let those harsh words affect you.”
Daniela’s eyes were fixed on Cedric’s smiling lips, her mind free of any distractions. All she could think about was
how charming his smile was. His voice was soft and pleasant. Why did people speak of him as someone to fear?
He didn’t seem that way at all.
