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

Chapter 828:

The smile on Daniela’s face froze, losing its warmth.

Confused and disoriented, she asked, “Is that you, Cedric?”

She was about to raise her hand when a pair of large hands covered her eyes.

“Yes, I am.” The voice was deep and identical to Cedric’s.

Almost immediately, Daniela sensed his breath drawing nearer.

She stood still for a moment before quickly taking two steps back.

However, her vision was still covered by those large hands.

The man asked, “What’s wrong?”

Daniela felt his intense gaze fixed on her lips. In her confusion, he moved closer still.

“I am Cedric. Will you push me away?”

As his breath tickled her lips, Daniela’s expression turned into a frown, and she stepped back once more.

This time, Daniela brushed away the hands covering her eyes.

She was met with a face that mirrored Cedric’s.

“What’s the matter? Don’t want me to kiss you?” the man asked, his eyes locked on hers. His tone, carrying a trace of a smile, was just as familiar.

“Who are you?” Daniela asked, her voice steady and firm.

“Cedric.” The man opposite her hesitated, then straightened up. “I am Cedric. Are you actually upset with me?”

This time, her retreat was much quicker.

She watched the man in front of her with careful attention.

Once more, she reminded herself that he looked strikingly similar to Cedric.

“You were with Joyce at the last banquet. Who are you, really?”

The man’s smile turned sinister in the shadows. “I am Cedric, the man of your desires. Aren’t you exhausted with the old Cedric? You believe he doesn’t get you. You feel he forces you to say things you don’t wish to. You see him as cold and indifferent. Daniela, I am the new Cedric. I will always submit to you and loyally remain at your side. I will become whoever you need me to be. Isn’t that better?”

Daniela shook her head firmly. “No.”noveldrama

The man suddenly froze in place.

“I said, No,” Daniela repeated. “I love Cedric, no matter his flaws. I don’t care if he loves someone else. Whatever he chooses, I support him. His happiness matters more to me than my own.”

In the darkness, the man’s brows furrowed deeply. “What about me? Don’t you want me? Daniela, if you wish, I am yours!”

His voice held the seductive whisper of a lover, enchanting its spell in Daniela’s ear.

Daniela shook her head and shut her eyes.

When she opened her eyes again, she saw that the rooftop was empty.

Only the lingering chill of the wind remained.

Daniela stood still, puzzled.

Suddenly, the rooftop door swung open, and Lillian stepped through, rubbing her eyes. “Daniela, why are you out here? Isn’t it cold?”

Daniela asked, “Did you see anyone on your way up just now?”

Lillian shook her head. “No. Who do you think made it up here?”
