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

Chapter 927:

Hackett chuckled. “That’s why I think you’re too attached. Only those with little would rely on marriage to secure their lifestyle. What’s its true value, other than polishing your public image? For men, pleasure is what really matters.”

Hackett left with a smug grin, handing Cedric a note with his home address before exiting. “I’ll be waiting for you at my home, Mr. Phillips.” With that, Hackett left, his smile widening.

Just as Cedric was about to toss the note into the trash, Daniela stepped forward and stopped him.

Cedric shot Daniela a confused look. Daniela glanced at Ryan and asked, “Did you record what Hackett just said?”

Ryan quickly nodded. A playful smile crossed Daniela’s lips as she turned back to Cedric. “I’d like to see what his daughters look like.”

Cedric’s expression soured instantly, as if he’d just bitten into a lemon. “I’d rather not.”

He despised those gatherings where girls drenched themselves in perfume so heavily that it clashed like an overused air freshener. The chaotic mix of scents gave him an instant headache. He’d much rather be at home cuddling with his wife. Starting a family with her was something he looked forward to.

“Let’s go,” Daniela said with a playful smile at Cedric. “I’m curious what kind of daughters a man like him has raised.”

Cedric let out a reluctant sigh. “Fine. But if I see anything unpleasant, you owe me.”

That evening, as soon as they got home, Cedric wasted no time pulling Daniela upstairs. The next day, just when Daniela finally had the chance to sleep in, Hackett sent a message to confirm the dinner plans.

By evening, Cedric leaned in, his breath deliberately teasing Daniela’s skin as he whispered, “If you don’t get up now, we’ll miss dinner at Hackett’s home.”

Then, pressing a gentle kiss against her, his voice turned playful, laced with affection. “Or we could just stay home and play our own little game instead.”

As he spoke, his fingers trailed up her flat stomach slowly and deliberately. But just as they reached a certain point, Daniela caught his hand, stopping him in his tracks. “I’m getting up now!”

Daniela practically bolted out of bed, rushing to the bathroom. “I need to freshen up!”

Cedric chuckled as he stretched out on the bed, utterly amused. Standing at the sink, Daniela lazily brushed her teeth, feeling every bit of the exhaustion lingering in her body. Cedric had been experimenting with some new tricks lately, and she was paying the price for it, completely worn out.

“Why do you look so drained? Was last night not satisfying?” Cedric’s usual stern expression softened, his gaze laced with desire, making his eyes all the more captivating.

In that moment, Cedric was undeniably irresistible.

As he stood before her, Daniela couldn’t help but recall Lillian’s words about Cedric—he was dangerously seductive.

Right now, Cedric embodied temptation in its purest form.noveldrama

He lowered his gaze, his fingers tracing a slow, lazy path down her back. Leaning in, his lips brushed against her ear, his voice husky and intimate. “Shall we try something new, my dear?”

The way he said those last two words sent a shiver down her spine. Daniela swallowed hard. She was still recovering from last night. The bathroom had become a disaster, and she couldn’t even bring herself to look at it. Another round? There wasn’t even a place left to do it again.

Apparently, Cedric had the same thought because he let out a long, dramatic sigh.
