?Chapter 1505:


    Niks’ message read, “Cedric has captured the Loglil princess’s attention, and she wants him as her husband.”


    Damon, who thrived on drama, asked,


    “Is this the princess who rejected all of us brothers forcking charm?”


    Niks responded, “Yep, that very same princess.”


    Carol teased, “Well, the princess has good taste. Guess she’s not into misfits, huh?”


    Damon threw up his hands in defeat.


    Niks let out a helpless sigh, matching Damon’s frustration.


    Carolughed and nudged Dani.


    “Looks like someone’s taken a fancy to your husband. So, what’s the n?”


    After Carol tagged Dani, she watched eagerly, anticipation fluttering as she awaited Dani’s reply. Yet the chat group fell unexpectedly silent. Niks grinned, teasing Cedric, “Looks like you’re in hot water. Is Dani mad? She was supposed to be at the ceremony, but you said she didn’t need to go. Now, does she suspect you went there on purpose to meet that princess?”


    Cedric answered, “She wouldn’t believe I’d do that.” Though he said it, he quickened his pace.


    Niks observed Cedric—the same man who had stood firm before Hamilton—now betraying a flicker of unease. Shaking his head, he let out a soft chuckle.


    Dani was absorbed in her work. Ryan and Lillian had called, reporting trouble at headquarters, though the root cause remained unclear.


    While poring over data, she noticed Cedric entering the room.


    “Back so soon?” she asked.


    ?????????????? ???????????? ? g?a?l?n?o?v?e?l?s?.?c?o?m


    Cedric realized she hadn’t seen the chat messages yet.


    “Yeah,” he replied.


    Dani asked casually, “Did it all go well?”


    When silence lingered, she looked up to find Cedric standing before her. She put down the data.


    “So, what happened?”


    Cedric exined, “The Loglil princess showed up at the ceremony. I bumped into her, but I had no idea she’d be there.”


    Dani gave a slight nod. “Alright, got it.”


    Then she lowered her gaze back to the data.


    People were strange, unpredictable creatures.


    Beforeing in, Cedric had feared Dani might jump to conclusions or overanalyze. Now, met with her cool indifference, a wave of difort settled over him. He felt like he didn’t matter much to her.


    Cedric muttered, “I’ll go make dinner.”


    Dani nodded. “Alright, go ahead.”


    After dinner, they retreated to their room.


    Dani wrapped up the tasks with Ryan and Lillian, and only then did she notice Cedric’s subdued mood.
