Chapter 392:
“Dear, you must be famished. Eat something.”
Daniela eyed the food container, recognizing it instantly as Josie’s.
She sneered.
How cunning—using someone else’s gesture to play the doting father.
Yet, her stomach rumbled. After a quick freshening up in the restroom, she returned and opened the container.
At that moment, Cedric reappeared, bearing side dishes to complement her meal. He arranged them
meticulously on the desk.
As she began to eat, Cedric took a seat next to her, his demeanor grave and commanding.
Caiden, clearly unsettled by Cedric’s imposing aura, paused briefly before attempting a smile.
“Cedric, have you eaten yet?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCedric’s reply was icy, his stare piercing as he responded, “I'm not hungry.”
His implication was unmistakable—his distaste for the duo was enough to spoil his appetite.
Caiden’s smile wavered, and he stiffened.
“Daniela—"
Cedric interrupted him sharply.

“Let her eat first!”
Caiden and Katrina recoiled, nodding hurriedly.
“Right, right! Eating comes first. We'll wait.”
It had been ages since Caiden had shown any paternal concern for Daniela. His sudden display of warmth only
underscored how forced and unnatural it felt.
Daniela, for her part, seemed unaffected. She continued her meal while Cedric’s glare turned even frostier, fixed
intently on Caiden and Katrina.
Cedric now embraced his role more boldly. Previously, as just a friend, he had treaded lightly around Daniela’s
personal issues. Even his past confrontation with Alexander had been a cautious move.
But now, he was more than a friend; he was her suitor—her guardian, her knight. He embraced his duty to
protect her without hesitation.
Under Cedric’s watchful, authoritative gaze, Caiden and Katrina squirmed like schoolchildren caught in a
misdeed.
Daniela remained poised, her cool composure unshaken by the unnecessary .
After finishing her breakfast, she closed the lid of the container. The weariness of the all-nighter began to settle
in.
With little emotion, she inquired, “You've been here all night. What do you want?”
Katrina shot Caiden a meaningful glance, urging him forward. He plastered on a smile, though it lacked sincerity.
“It’s nothing major. | just realized I've never really looked around your office before. And | must admit, it's quite
the sight. The layout, the space, and that view—standing at those floor-to-ceiling windows, it feels like Olisvine is

As he spoke, Katrina's nods were overly enthusiastic, her smile painfully forced.
Daniela was unimpressed.
“The last tyou visited, you were too preoccupied with lecturingand fishing for favors for Joyce. How
could you have noticed the view?”
Caiden’s smile froze. He laughed awkwardly after a tense pause.
