?Chapter 1038:


    She paused, gathering her thoughts, then added, “I’m also carrying a child. We don’t know yet if it’s a boy or a girl, but Cedric is overjoyed. I believe you would have been ecstatic too, delighting in the chance to dote on your grandchild. It’s truly a shame. Mom, I promise to lead a good life. You don’t need to worry about me anymore.”


    As dusk embraced the sky, a vibrant red hue bled across the horizon. With a gentle smile, Daniid down a bouquet of flowers, whispering, “Mom, I’lle see you again soon.”


    On the same day, Elite Lux’s and Phillips Group’s websites announced Dani’s pregnancy. Tomemorate this joyous news, Elite Lux shed prices on all luxury items by fifty percent, igniting a thrilling shopping spree!


    Meanwhile, a figure red at the Elite Lux building, fists clenched in silent fury.


    “Dani!” Alexander stormed into the Elite Lux building, his chest heaving, emotions running high. Tears streamed down his face, unchecked, as though he had been dealt the deepest betrayal. “Are you pregnant?”


    His gaze locked onto Dani, his eyes dark and searching. “You’re carrying Cedric’s child?”


    Dani nced around; it was already the early hours of the morning. Cedric was away on a business trip. She hadn’t seen the point in going home, so she stayed behind, nning to spend the night at the office.


    The difort of her pregnancy had driven her upstairs for some fresh air.


    She never expected Alexander to barge in like this.


    “How did you get up here?” she asked.


    ???????????? ?????????????? @ ?????????ν?????????????


    Alexander’s heart twisted, as if an unseen force had reached inside him and crushed it. His voice dropped, thick with grief. “Does it matter? Dani, I just need to know— is it true?”


    His gaze fell to her t stomach. “Tell me you’re lying. Say you’re just trying to get back at me. You’re not actually pregnant!”


    How could the girl who had loved him for ten years be carrying another man’s child?


    shes of the past blurred his vision.


    Dani had stood before him, confessing her feelings. She had learned to race and drink for him. With a microphone in hand, she had dered her love on a stage under the spotlight.


    Everything was so vivid.


    How could she?


    He was still trapped in the days when she loved him, while she had already moved so far ahead.


    He had tried so hard.


    He had even reshaped himself into someone new—just for her.


    “Dani, don’t you see? Can’t you see how much I want to be close to you? Are you really so cold-hearted?”


    Dani stood still, letting the night breeze brush against her skin. “Alexander, I don’t hate you. But the past is just that—the past. I don’t cling to it, and I hope you won’t either.”
