Chapter 1316: Cedric's voice hardened with resolve. “Don't look atlike that. This isn't negotiable. I'm giving you two choices—I'll either stay here with you, or I'll go to Hamilton and tell him I'm returning to the McCoy family. The decision is yours." Daniela furrowed her brow. "You have no interest in the McCoy family. Why would you do that?" "I don't want to, but you're leavingno choice," Cedric snapped. "As long as you're in Oiscoll, I'm staying. If you sendaway, I'll return and fight for the inheritance. Don't underestimate me. I can do anything!" With a furious glare, Cedric stormed out, his anger blazing.
In the garden, the sharp snip of pruning shears cut through the air as he unleashed his anger on the plants, his frustration spilling over.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCarol found the whole scene wildly entertaining.
She folded her arms across her chest, lingering for a moment before finally stepping inside. Turning to Daniela, she said, "The leaves were flying all over the place. Even the gardener wouldn't go near Cedric. Everyone just stood there, rooted to the spot, staring at him like he was sterrifying force of nature. Ha-ha! This is hilarious. I've never seen Cedric act so crazy before. Daniela, what now? Should I still arrange the plane? The weather report says it'll be calm this afternoon, so it's safe for him to fly." Daniela clenched her jaw in frustration.
She was sure that even if she forced Cedric to leave, he'd find a way to cback on his own.
The guy could literally fly a plane by himself.
"Let's just wait and see," Daniela said, her voice sharp with irritation.
Carol chuckled. "Shouldn't at least one of you be happy? Why do you both look so frustrated? You're not the type to back down once you've decided something. What's with you today? Cedric's pretty impressive. I definitely underestimated him." More updates uploaded to galnovalsDaniela didn't even spare Carol's smug grin a glance. She simply closed her eyes and let out a heavy sigh.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCedric might have looked stubborn on the outside, but deep down, he was clearly nervous-terrified that Daniela might still find a way to send him away.
Carol noticed his unease and burst out laughing. "Weren't you acting all fearless a second ago? I've never seen anyone bold enough to threaten Daniela. You've got serious guts!" Cedric shrank back a little. "Was I too harsh earlier? Did I yell too loud?" "Harsh?" Carol nodded seriously. "Oh yeah, you were super harsh." Cedric's face fell with regret. “Do you think I actually scared her?" Carol blinked in surprise. “Scared her? Daniela? The legendary queen of mercenaries herself? She would actually be scared by a few harsh words?" But Carol wasn't about to spell it out for him. She just smirked and said, "What's wrong? Feeling a little scared now? Relax. It's nothing serious. Daniela..."
"She said she won't send you back. Go inside, say a few sweet things to her, and everything will be fine." Cedric's eyes immediately lit up. “Really?"
Carol nodded confidently. "Yep. She didn't askto arrange the plane' anymore"
Cedric instantly perked up, grabbing his tools and trimming the branches and leaves in front of him with E renewed energy.
