?Chapter 1122:


    If only Dani were his mom.


    Dani would never be this fierce—like an angry lioness ready to pounce.


    As Dani stepped out of the vi, she spotted Cedric standing near the garage.


    “I need to talk to you,” he said.


    Dani gave a small nod and got into the car. They sat in the back while Carol and the driver took the front seats.


    “I want to move back into the vi with you.” Worried she might say no, Cedric quickly added, “I used to live there with you. Back then, we weren’t even married.”


    Dani already knew that was what he’de to discuss.


    When she didn’t say anything, Cedric kept going. “I promise I won’t get in your way. I’ll stay in the guest room downstairs. Just like before.”


    Dani’s voice was steady. “That won’t work this time.”


    Cedric turned to her quickly. “Why not? You agreed before.”


    Dani looked out the window. “And now, I don’t.”


    Cedric stared at her, his eyes filling with pain. “Why?”


    After a long pause, Dani answered, “Because I need to handle this myself.” Thest time she let Cedrice home with her, the explosion happened. She lost her baby; four people were seriously hurt.


    Now, she was dealing with memory loss, and the person behind the explosion was still out there, waiting for the right moment to strike again.


    She had to be more cautious. She didn’t have too much time to worry about Cedric.


    gα?ησν????s?cо??, your storytelling home


    “I can handle myself,” Cedric said, his eyes full of quiet resolve.


    But Dani shook her head.


    The attack had happened when she was pregnant. Whoever nned it had studied her past. They struck when she was at her weakest.


    She couldn’t let Cedric walk into that kind of danger again. Dani had already made up her mind.


    “If you won’t let me inside, I’ll pitch a tent out front,” Cedric said. “I’m not leaving you to deal with this on your own.” The explosion had left scars on him. If he hadn’t shown up in time, she wouldn’t have survived. They had lost three years. He didn’t want to waste another second apart.


    Dani was headstrong. So was Cedric. Neither one would budge. Even when she arrived at Elite Lux, she still hadn’t changed her answer.


    Cedric sat at his own desk at Elite Lux, looking both pitiful and inexplicably determined. Carol looked at Dani. “What do we do about him?”


    “Leave him,” said Dani, her voice calm.


    Later that evening, Dani left first. Cedric followed behind. The car pulled up to the vi. Dani stepped out, and Cedric grabbed his tent. He set it up right at the entrance.


    Carol turned to Dani. “He’s still a CEO. Isn’t it a little much to let him camp out by the road?”
