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

Chapter 824:

After a thoughtful pause, Lillian suggested, “Maybe it’s time to let this go. Cedric’s involvement only complicates matters. If he starts resenting you, then why bother? Why not make life easier? If it all falls apart, maybe it’s best to divorce Cedric. That way, neither of you has to deal with any mess. Sounds better, right?”

Daniela’s hand trembled slightly at Lillian’s words. She tried to ignore the quiver, giving her palm a gentle squeeze to soothe the growing ache.

Lillian offered, “It’s better to end things soon than to let the agony linger. If you can’t face him, I’ll handle it.”

Daniela’s gaze drifted, her expression clouded by distant thoughts. “Lillian, you just don’t understand.”

Lillian’s gaze fixed on Daniela, confusion etched across her face. “What’s there to misunderstand? You managed perfectly well before Cedric came along. Even if he backs off now, who’s to say the future won’t bring more heartache? Your relationship is bound to dwindle. Wouldn’t it be wiser to part on good terms now while some fondness remains?”

The memory of Cedric’s determined face earlier that day flashed in Daniela’s mind, reigniting the trembling in her hand. This time, the pain was sharper.

Lillian caught the subtle change instantly, her voice faltering. “You…”
