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

Chapter 652:

“Daniela, what exactly is your relationship with Cedric?” Nina asked suddenly, just as Daniela was about to head upstairs.

The room fell silent.

Nina stood by the entrance, the sensor light gradually dimming until she was swallowed by the darkness.

Persistent and calculating, Nina kept her tone light, though her question was blunt.

“I’ve heard rumors that Cedric is pursuing you. Now that I’m here, I see he lives here too. Does that mean there’s more between you two than just him pursuing you? Are you in a relationship?”

Nina watched Daniela’s figure, her eyes never leaving her.

Her phone screen lit up faintly, displaying Elyse’s name.

As she called Elyse, she discreetly hit the record button.noveldrama

“Daniela, is it so hard to answer? What exactly is your relationship with Cedric?” Nina pushed further.

Daniela glanced over her shoulder at Nina.

Nina was taken aback by how calmly Daniela handled the situation, even in such a tense moment.

“Believe whatever you want about us,” Daniela said, her voice steady.

“If we are something in your mind, then that’s what we are.”

Nina quickly shot back, “Really? People are saying Cedric is here not because you love him, but because you just need a man. They say you’re using him for your own desires.”

Nina matched Daniela’s pace, her voice growing sharper.

“I think I agree.

You don’t love Cedric, do you? Otherwise, how could you let people gossip about him like this?”

Daniela paused at the stairs, her fists clenching at her sides. She stayed silent, contemplating for a moment.

“If you stay quiet, I’ll take that as an admission.” Nina continued, taking full advantage of Daniela’s silence.

Daniela didn’t care about Nina’s words; she feared nothing for herself. But when it came to Cedric, it was a different story. She couldn’t risk him being hurt. With everything so uncertain, she saw no value in continuing the argument. Daniela stayed quiet and started up the stairs.

Just as she lifted her foot, Nina’s smug voice rang out behind her.

“Cedric, did you hear that? I told you. Daniela doesn’t love you. She just admitted it.”

Daniela froze mid-step, her heart pounding.

After a long, tense pause, she slowly turned her head and saw Cedric standing at the entrance with his luggage.

He looked drained, his eyes bloodshot, chest heaving with each heavy breath, his face full of stunned disbelief.

Their gazes locked from across the long hallway, the darkness between them seeming to stretch forever.

Nina stood triumphantly to the side and said, “Cedric, you heard that, right? Daniela just wants a man around, which is why she let you stay here. Do you still want to stay now?”

Nina continued, “Daniela, I’m sorry, but if you don’t love him, you should be honest. I’ve only known Cedric briefly, but I can tell he values sincerity. It’s not right to toy with his emotions like this.”
