Rejected No More: I Am Way Out Of Your League, Darling!

Chapter 822:

Daniela’s lips curved. “You’re going to the auction, right? I came to get you.”

Cedric’s fingers pressed into his phone.

He was direct—sometimes, being tough was necessary to make things clear.

He knew that well.

But when he met Daniela’s steady gaze, the words caught in his throat. His voice dropped in frustration. “Daniela…”

Daniela only smiled at him.

Cedric exhaled. “We’re still fighting.”

Daniela nodded, unbothered. “I know. Forgiving me too fast feels too easy, doesn’t it? You’re still not satisfied. That’s fine—I can keep pacifying you.”

Cedric felt his resolve slipping. Daniela was flawless, except for one thing—she was just as stubborn as he was.

“I don’t need you to pacify me, Daniela. I just want to know—who are you really after? Don’t tell me it’s just Natalie and Elyse.”

To Cedric, Natalie and Elyse were nothing.

If Daniela was being this careful, there had to be a reason.

And the way she had rejected him before—cold and absolute—told him there was something bigger lurking beneath.

Cedric was sharp. Lying to him was pointless.

She wasn’t going to lie, but she wasn’t ready to tell the whole truth either. Instead, she repeated what she had told him a dozen times before.

“Just wait a little longer. I’ll tell you everything.”

Cedric sighed, that familiar frustration washing over him.

He had run out of options.

Once Daniela made a decision, nothing could change it. Not even him.

Cedric knew he wasn’t her exception, and that realization cut deeper than he expected.

“Then I won’t be attending the charity auction with you tonight.”

Cedric’s anger simmered beneath the surface.

He could never understand why Daniela had to be so stubborn.

In that moment, he was sure—he didn’t matter to her at all.

Daniela bit her lip, hesitated, then stood up with a light chuckle. “Well… alright. I’ll leave. Don’t be upset.”

Her words struck a nerve, igniting what little patience he had left.

Cedric let out a sharp laugh, his eyes dark with frustration. “Do you even care if I’m upset? Acting like you’re doing me a favor—it doesn’t make me happy at all.”

For the first time, Cedric truly lost his temper with Daniela.noveldrama

Daniela froze.

She wanted to comfort him, but she didn’t know how.

She had lost her mother at five, and from that moment on, she never learned how to comfort anyone.

She didn’t know how to make Cedric happy or how to ask him to wait just a little longer.

So she said nothing.

With Alexander, money had been enough to buy peace.
