?Chapter 1057:


    “If that’s the case, and if my opinion matters to you, then I don’t want a divorce,” Cedric said firmly. “This marriage isn’t a burden to me, and the memories I carry alone aren’t something I resent. You don’t have to feel guilty on my behalf. I want to stay married to you.”


    Throughout it all, Cedric’s voice remained steady, filled with quiet conviction. He handled the conversation with a level-headedness that left no room for impulsive emotions. It was clear that he respected her deeply, offering her space to make her own choices.


    “And I need to tell you something about myself.” Cedric hesitated for a moment, as if wrestling with his thoughts, then slowly rose to his feet. He was prepared to reveal his vulnerabilities, scars, and humility to Dani. “My leg may take just as long to heal as your memory. The difference is, your forgotten memory doesn’t alter your beauty, but my leg’s condition will change how I carry myself. I must be honest with you—if my rehabilitation falters, it won’t just affect my demeanor. It couldpromise my health, or even more, in ways I can’t predict at this moment.”


    Cedric sat as if he were at a negotiation table, deliberately positioning himself in a ce of humility. He stripped away everyyer of pretense, exposing his wounds without hesitation. He was wagering everything on the honor of a businessman. He knew Dani no longer harbored any pity for him, yet he was willing to take the risk. He bet everything on one belief—Dani wouldn’t walk away from him now.


    “That’s not something that concerns me,” Dani said casually. While appearance held some weight in her eyes, a person’s character mattered far more.


    At that moment, Cedric realized he had won. The woman he cherished most, despite all the darkness she had endured, still possessed a heart that softened in the face of sincerity.


    “Then, we’re staying married,” Cedric stated firmly.


    Dani gave a small nod before adding carefully, “For now, we won’t divorce. But if, in the future, this marriage bes a burden, or if either of us finds someone we prefer, we have to respect that and part ways without resistance.”

    Alexander wanted to rush upstairs, but the security was airtight—he had no way in. Anxiety gnawed at him. He paced frantically, like a caged beast, terrified that one night would be enough for Dani’s heart to sway toward Cedric. The thought that this could be hisst chance—that Cedric might steal her away once more—sent panic coursing through him.


    His mind spiraled with countless fears. Stuck in a foreignnd, he felt utterly powerless. The vastwork he had built over the years seemed useless in this situation.


    Cold sweat trickled down his back as he stood there, frozen in ce for what felt like an eternity.


    After a moment, his gaze settled on the illuminated Elite Lux building. His brows knitted together in deep frustration.


    He retrieved his phone from his pocket and dialed a number. “Hello. Do whatever it takes to obstruct Elite Lux’s operations. I want Dani forced back into the country, no matter what.”


    Once Dani returned, she would finally see the stark contrast between Cedric’s and his business stature. Only then would she know who to choose.
