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.
