?Chapter 844:


    “Is that so?” Alexander responded, watching the side of Dani’s face glow, feeling a warmth spread through his chest.


    Internally, a voice urged him to draw nearer to Dani, to bridge the gap between them desperately.


    He held his breath, striving to quell the turmoil within, as he subtly moved closer to Dani, inch by inch.


    Dani managed a strained smile.


    As Alexander moved closer, she abruptly stood, leaving him reaching out to empty space. His expression turned to confusion.


    “I’m leaving,” Dani dered.


    In a panic, Alexander stood and grasped her hand.


    She pulled away, prompting Alexander to ask her anxiously, “Dani, when will I see you again? Have you considered my previous proposal? It still stands.”


    Afraid she might have forgotten about it, Alexander quickly added, “Remember, if you ever grow weary of Cedric, you can turn to me. You’re drawn to his appearance, aren’t you? Come to me instead. I’m his mirror image, and I ask for nothing more than to be with you. I can be whoever you desire, Dani. In my world, you are the only one, and that will never change.”


    Dani looked at his face, so simr to Cedric’s, yet felt only detachment. “Is that so? I’ll give it some thought.”


    Alexander’s face brightened immediately. “How long will you need to consider it?” His eagerness to reim her affection was noticeable.


    He resolved not to repeat past mistakes.


    The moment she consented, he nned to win her overpletely.


    He was determined to end Cedric’s life for good.

    Then, he would be the sole Cedric in existence.


    As Dani left, Alexander’s gaze hardened with resolve. He silently vowed to win her back, regardless of the sacrifices required.


    That evening, after satisfying Doug in bed, Joyce headed straight to Alexander’s.


    “What’s the matter?” Joyce noticed how absent-minded Alexander was. “You met Dani, didn’t you? Getting obsessed with her? Remember yourmitment to me, Alexander. I invested heavily to turn you into Cedric. Remember, Dani will be Doug’s.”


    Alexander flung back the covers and left the bed. He moved to the floor-to-ceiling window and lit a cigarette.


    Joyce eyed Alexander’s well-defined back, impressed yet again by the surgeons’ craftsmanship. Every nce at his face stirred something within her.


    She moved closer, pressing against him once more, craving more.


    But Alexander quickly brushed her hand off his chest with a chill detachment.


    Joyce’s expression darkened with irritation. “What’s this about, Alexander? Don’t think a brief chat with Dani means you can take Cedric’s ce in her heart!”


    “Joyce, are you content to live forever overshadowed by Dani?” Alexander asked, his gaze cold and his tone devoid of emotion.


    Taken aback, Joyce paused. She straightened, eyeing Alexander with a calcting gaze as her initial desire weakened. “What are you implying?”


    “Are you truly content with living in her shadow forever? Do you really want to depend on Doug for your status your entire life? Natalie wants Doug, or more urately, his wealth and the title of his wife. How long do you think he will remain faithful to you?”
