?Chapter 927:


    Hackett chuckled. “That’s why I think you’re too attached. Only those with little would rely on marriage to secure their lifestyle. What’s its true value, other than polishing your public image? For men, pleasure is what really matters.”


    Hackett left with a smug grin, handing Cedric a note with his home address before exiting. “I’ll be waiting for you at my home, Mr. Phillips.” With that, Hackett left, his smile widening.


    Just as Cedric was about to toss the note into the trash, Dani stepped forward and stopped him.


    Cedric shot Dani a confused look. Dani nced at Ryan and asked, “Did you record what Hackett just said?”


    Ryan quickly nodded. A yful smile crossed Dani’s lips as she turned back to Cedric. “I’d like to see what his daughters look like.”


    Cedric’s expression soured instantly, as if he’d just bitten into a lemon. “I’d rather not.”


    He despised those gatherings where girls drenched themselves in perfume so heavily that it shed like an overused air freshener. The chaotic mix of scents gave him an instant headache. He’d much rather be at home cuddling with his wife. Starting a family with her was something he looked forward to.


    “Let’s go,” Dani said with a yful smile at Cedric. “I’m curious what kind of daughters a man like him has raised.”


    Cedric let out a reluctant sigh. “Fine. But if I see anything unpleasant, you owe me.”


    That evening, as soon as they got home, Cedric wasted no time pulling Dani upstairs. The next day, just when Dani finally had the chance to sleep in, Hackett sent a message to confirm the dinner ns.


    By evening, Cedric leaned in, his breath deliberately teasing Dani’s skin as he whispered, “If you don’t get up now, we’ll miss dinner at Hackett’s home.”


    Then, pressing a gentle kiss against her, his voice turned yful,ced with affection. “Or we could just stay home and y our own little game instead.”

    As he spoke, his fingers trailed up her t stomach slowly and deliberately. But just as they reached a certain point, Dani caught his hand, stopping him in his tracks. “I’m getting up now!”


    Dani practically bolted out of bed, rushing to the bathroom. “I need to freshen up!”


    Cedric chuckled as he stretched out on the bed, utterly amused. Standing at the sink, Danizily brushed her teeth, feeling every bit of the exhaustion lingering in her body. Cedric had been experimenting with some new trickstely, and she was paying the price for it,pletely worn out.


    “Why do you look so drained? Wasst night not satisfying?” Cedric’s usual stern expression softened, his gazeced with desire, making his eyes all the more captivating.


    In that moment, Cedric was undeniably irresistible.


    As he stood before her, Dani couldn’t help but recall Lillian’s words about Cedric—he was dangerously seductive.


    Right now, Cedric embodied temptation in its purest form.


    He lowered his gaze, his fingers tracing a slow,zy path down her back. Leaning in, his lips brushed against her ear, his voice husky and intimate. “Shall we try something new, my dear?”


    The way he said thosest two words sent a shiver down her spine. Dani swallowed hard. She was still recovering fromst night. The bathroom had be a disaster, and she couldn’t even bring herself to look at it. Another round? There wasn’t even a ce left to do it again.


    Apparently, Cedric had the same thought because he let out a long, dramatic sigh.
