?Chapter 1019:


    Alexander’s face fell, a mixture of hurt and disappointment washing over him. “Dani, you still won’t forgive me? It’s been ages. Do you still hold a grudge for how I ignored you back then? I’ve been trying to make amends. Doesn’t that count for something? Haven’t you noticed how hard I’ve been working to set things right? Dani, you know this. No matter who I was with, my heart’s always belonged to you.”


    Dani’sughter was cold and scornful. “Oh, really? You care about me? Do you remember you slept with a flight attendant and framed my husband for it? Alexander, your understanding of love is so warped it’s almost pitiable.”


    Alexander halted, visibly taken aback. A slow grin spread across his face. “You still care about me.”


    Dani’s eyes filled with disbelief.


    Alexander continued. “You’re still keeping tabs on me, aren’t you? Clearly, I haven’t been erased from your heart. How else would you know about the flight attendant? Dani, I swear to you, I’m done with other women. I won’t do anything that bothers you again.”


    Dani was utterly shocked. Alexander’s logic defied reason; it waspletely absurd. She was talking about his audacity to me Cedric for his own misdeeds, and yet, it seemed he waspletely oblivious to it.


    Alexander asked, “Dani, you must have seen the efforts I’m putting in to better myself, haven’t you?”


    A wave of nausea swept over Dani, her stomach twisting in revolt at his words. Then, without warning, she vomited.


    At that moment, Alexander made a swift move toward her, but Dani, quick as a sh, grabbed a fruit knife from the table, brandishing it defensively.


    “Okay, okay, I’ll keep my distance. I get it, you’re still fuming,” Alexander conceded with a smile. “Darling, it won’t happen again. Just calm down, will you?”


    ??? ??????? ?? ?????????.???


    Overwhelmed, Dani could bear no more and rushed toward the restroom.


    Alexander, concern etched on his features, followed suit.


    But suddenly, Cedric materialized before him, a storm of fury in his gaze. Without hesitation, Cedric snatched the knife and pressed its cold edge against his throat.


    “Don’t force me to repeat myself. Get out now!”


    Alexander cast a worried nce toward the restroom before retreating, his footsteps heavy with reluctance.


    Moments after, Dani emerged, looking ghostly pale. Cedric asked with concern, “Did you consume something spoiled?”


    Dani dismissed his concern with a weak wave of her hand and staggered back to the restroom to sumb to another bout of retching.


    A few minutester, Lillian breezed in from the chill outdoors, her eyebrows arching in rm. “What’s going on? You’re feeling this sick?”


    Dani waved her hand once more before settling into her chair. She pressed the inte button and addressed Ryan with urgency. “The facial recognition system is outdated. Alexander just strolled right in.”


    Lillian stared at Dani, her eyes wide with shock. “Did Alexander really disturb you that much?”


    Dani took a moment, her hand resting on her stomach as if to calm it, before looking up. “What’s the current situation downstairs?”
