Chapter 642:

“It had to be some deep-seated trauma, like Daniela lost her capacity to love. Even when she was with Alexander, she chased him and did everything for him, yet she never truly let him in. Even then, we suspected she might never fully open her heart to anyone again.”

Nina’s tone carried a calm yet resolute certainty.

“Mr. Phillips, please don’t take it personally. It’s not that she dislikes you; it’s that she doesn’t know how to like anyone. To her, relationships feel too fragile, and deep down, she struggles to trust anyone. That applies to anyone she might end up with, honestly. Maybe it’s for the best you two aren’t together. She doesn’t coddle anyone, and she’s not one to express her feelings. Whoever ends up with her someday will have a challenging time. My mother always says that even if Daniela marries someone, she’d never fully accept them in her heart. She just doesn’t let her guard down.”

With a faint, innocent smile, Nina added, “When Alexander brought up divorce, Daniela agreed without hesitation and never looked back. When someone ever wants to know if Daniela truly loves him, he could tell her he’s leaving. If she tries to stop him, then she genuinely cares.”

Cedric’s fingers tightened around his wine glass as he sat in prolonged silence. At last, he asked, “So, what you’re saying is, if Daniela genuinely loves someone and he tries to leave, she’ll undoubtedly try to stop him?”

Nina nodded confidently.
