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

Chapter 60

Chapter 60:

Daniela was finally coming downstairs. Caiden, shaken from his uneasy trance, felt a cold sweat drench his back. For the first time, he found himself actually eager to see his biological daughter.

“Daniela,” he called out, his voice uncharacteristically soft as he watched her descend the stairs.

“You’re finally awake!”

His tone, unusually gentle and warm, carried the practiced air of a caring father.

Years ago, Daniela had longed for even a moment like this—for her father to speak to her with such kindness. But Caiden’s tenderness had always been reserved for Joyce. Never her. That fragile hope had withered and died long ago, buried beneath years of neglect and indifference.

Daniela descended the stairs, her expression composed and unreadable. Her gaze drifted over the scene in the living room, pausing on the movers standing uncertainly amid the disarrayed furniture. Their uniforms, a deep green, bore the company’s slogan in bold letters.
