Chapter 377:
“What did you just say?”
A desperate plea was etched across Cedric’s face. If he could see his own reflection, he imagined it would look
both haunted and fraught.
“I said, let's get married.”
Daniela, struggling to gather her thoughts, repeated, “You said...?”
“Yes. Marriage.
You and me!” Fumbling in his pocket, he produced a ring.
“I've been holding onto this for stime. If you were willing to give Huntley a chance, why not me? Anything

those memories. | feared it might seem like | was trying to manipulate your feelings. Besides, | left without
saying goodbye.
Daniela studied his troubled features.
“So why did you leave without telling me?”
Cedric’s heart dropped.
Her demeanor was calm and unexcited, even after discovering he was the boy she had once cherished. She was
composed, unshaken.
He felt as if his heartfelt revelations could never sway her.
“My family was in turmoil. We moved away suddenly, and then, | ended up in an orphanage. When | finally came
back, your relatives toldyou had gone overseas.”
Daniela was silent for a moment.
“You've never mentioned this before. Why now?”
Cedric clenched his jaw.
“Because you set a trial period with Huntley, didn’t you? I'm scared, Daniela. I'm terrified that someone else
might sweep you away from me.”
Cedric gripped the ring box tighter.
“If you gave Huntley a chance on day one, can’t you do the sfor me? We don’t have to rush. Letcourt
you properly. When you're convinced, we can marry. Daniela, marriage shouldn't be impulsive. | want to offer
you everything you deserve.” His voice conveyed a palpable urgency.

“I only have my grandmother left,” Cedric continued, hastily pulling out a plastic folder. It was stuffed with

Just then, Lillian and Ryan stepped out from their respective rooms, freezing at the sight of Cedric laying his soul
bare. Ryan mouthed to Lillian, “What's happening?”
Lillian could only shrug, her eyes wide.
