Chapter 761:

“Thank you, Aunt Elyse.”

As Elyse reached to give one to Daniela, Cedric stepped in to intercept.

“Daniela’s reducing her sugar intake, so she’ll have to pass on these.” He doubted the street-bought pastries were suitable for Daniela.

With Elyse watching, Cedric discarded the pastries into the bin.

Elyse’s smile wavered, her composed exterior almost breaking. Silenced by Daniela’s lack of response, Elyse could only comment bitterly, “Daniela, your husband really does assert himself. I’m your aunt, and he feels the need to screen what I bring?”
