Chapter 1040:
He stared at Dani in disbelief. “Dani, are you okay?”
Dani nodded with a smile.
Still dazed, Cedric pulled her into his arms, holding her close. This was the second time.
“You reacted pretty fast just now.”
Dani gave a small smile. “Did I? Just instinct.” From the side, Lillian barely stifled augh.
Cedric was still reeling. “Alexander is a head taller than you. From that angle, pulling off a clean shoulder throw should’ve been nearly impossible.”
Dani’s expression turned thoughtful. “Really? Maybe I have a natural talent for Taekwondo? I’ve always been flexible, you know—slim and agile.”
Cedric let out a breath, shaking his head in amazement. “That’s impressive.”
The days began to settle into a serene rhythm.
As Dani’s pregnancy advanced, her belly grew noticeably. The first trimester brought with it severe morning sickness, and she lost a significant amount of weight, which deeply troubled Cedric.
Determined to ease her difort, Cedric became creative in the kitchen, whipping up nourishing meals for Dani. He also took on more responsibilities at Elite Lux to reduce her workload.
By the fifth month of her pregnancy, Cedric had purchased an ind, offering a consistent climate and surrounded by mountains and waters—an ideal location for a peaceful getaway.

Cedric walked away with a satisfied smile, warmth lingering in his expression. Ever since Dani became pregnant, his days had been filled with joy and anticipation, eagerly counting down to the moment their child would arrive. After Cedric left, Ryan was alerted by thepany about a glitch in the security system, prompting him to leave their home.
At the same time, Lillian and Josie were at the vet, sorting out an issue with unavable prescribed dog food.
As a result, Dani was left alone in the house.
Suddenly, her phone rang.
As she bent down to find it, a cold breeze swept through, and the door creaked open as if pushed by the wind.
Rising cautiously, Dani spotted a shadowy figure covered in ck, donning a ck hat, standing at the doorway.
She narrowed her eyes at the intruder. “It’s you?”
The figure responded with a sinister grin and struck swiftly.
