Chapter 1750:

Sitting cross-legged on the chair, Daniela said, “Neither of us grew up in warm families, but we can give our children a home full of love. They’ll grow up kind and good. We do have a future to look forward to, don’t we?”

Cedric brushed his hand through Daniela’s hair. “You’re right.”

She tilted her head slightly, her eyes drifting toward the night sky. “If my mom were still around, I think she’d really like you as my husband. You’re steady, good-looking, and dependable.” He really did have a lot going for him.

Cedric’s usual sharpness would melt away in these moments. She brought out a part of him no one else ever got to see. That side of Daniela—he loved it. And more than anything, he loved not having to pretend when he was with her.
