Chapter 1591:

Cedric kept staring, as though he was afraid Daniela would disappear if he looked away.

With a playful glimmer in her eyes, Daniela leaned forward. “Tell me, would you rather have a boy or a girl?”

There was no hesitation from Cedric. He beamed at her and answered, “A girl! | hope she’s just as clever as you

are.”

From across the room, Nikolas couldn't help but laugh. “You know, if it turns out to be a girl, Dad might be

crushed.”

It never even crossed Cedric’s mind to care about that. Boy or girl, it made no difference to him. The only thing

that truly mattered was that this child would be Daniela’s. His greatest hope was for Daniela to stay healthy and

safe.

If a child cinto their lives, that would be a wonderful gift. If not, Cedric could accept that too.

Somehow, the news had left Cedric in a bit of a fog. He wandered through the day as if caught in a dream.

The maid tried to stifle a giggle. “Mr. Phillips looks like he’s still recovering from the shock.”

Watching Cedric shuffle through the halls, Daniela’s lips curved into a gentle, amused smile.

The spell didn’t last, though. Cedric soon returned to his senses and surprised everyone by offering the maid an

extended holiday.

Nobody in the house saw that coming. The maid stared at him in disbelief.

“Is there a reason, sir? Did | do something to upset you?” she asked, wide-eyed.

Cedric simply shook his head. “You didn’t do anything.”

Along with the toff, he slipped her an envelope with a generous bonus inside.

With that settled, Cedric turned his attention to Nikolas and Damon.

Damon's voice echoed from the living room. “Wait a second, you want us out of here? What's this about?”

Cedric sat back, arms folded as he regarded the pair across from him. “My wife is expecting.”

Curiosity flickered in Nikolas’ eyes. “We're already aware, Cedric. Are you worried about Daniela? We would

never—"

Surprise washed over Nikolas, who had assumed Cedric would handle the situation with subtlety. Instead, Cedric

spoke with unwavering directness. “That's right. | am concerned you might harm her. Letput it plainly. The

last tmy wife was pregnant, a problem arose because of a servant.”

Nikolas protested, “We're family, Cedric. We would never put your child in harm’s way.”

A slow shake of Cedric’s head followed. “The servant who caused trouble last twas someone | had trusted for

many years. She practically raised me. Still, she betrayed me. | can't risk that again, so for the next nine months,

| have to keep Daniela as safe as possible. That means removing every risk, no matter how small.”
