NovelFameChapter 1697:
Brad wandered toward the refrigerator.
As he opened the door, the housekeeper quickly added, “Those fruits are reserved for Ms. Harper. Mr. Phillips
brought them exclusively for her. They're from his private garden—no one else should touch them. If you'd like
fruit, I'll take sfrom the secondary fridge and clean it for you shortly.”
Daniela’s pregnancy made her crave pomegranates.
Cedric peeled them for her daily, placing the ruby seeds into a dainty dish. Before shutting the fridge, Brad
fixated on the vibrant pomegranates resting in the crisper drawer.
As Cedric cdown the stairs, something felt off. His gaze landed on Brad, who was lounging in the living
room, right in Daniela’s favorite spot. Cedric’s eyes narrowed slightly.
Then he noticed the apple Brad was casually holding, and his brows furrowed.
Brad, sensing Cedric’s focus on the fruit, gave a quick explanation. “The housekeeper got it from a different
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtfridge, not Daniela’s usual one.”
Cedric knew that had to be true. Daniela didn’t like apples, and she never kept any in her personal fridge.
But what really bothered Cedric wasn’t the apple. It was the fact that Brad had been in the kitchen.
Later, when Cedric made his way there himself, the housekeeper gave him the full story. “The apple Mr. McCoy
was holding cfrom the secondary fridge. | told him the pomegranates were prepared specially for Ms.
Harper.” Cedric paused as he opened the fridge. “He opened this fridge?”
Though his voice was calm, his expression had gone cold.
The housekeeper, who knew all too well how much Cedric doted on Daniela and how he personally handled even
her food, felt a spike of nervousness. She quickly added, “Yes, sir. But | stopped him before he touched anything
inside.”
Cedric gave a short nod. “Alright.”
The housekeeper noticed the pomegranates prepared for Daniela that day were freshly picked by Cedric from
the tree outside the villa. He also threw out every fruit from the fridge.
Feeling uneasy, the housekeeper promised before leaving, “I swear, | won't let anyone into the kitchen again.”
Under the dim evening light, Cedric’s sharp features seemed even more unforgiving. His voice was low and cold.
“Good.”
Yet the very next day, as soon as her back was turned, Brad slipped into the kitchen again.
Annoyed, the housekeeper immediately approached him. “Mr. McCoy, I'm sorry, but Mr. Phillips said yesterday
the kitchen is off-limits to guests. If you're hungry or need anything, just letknow, and I'll bring it to you.”
Brad smiled and pointed at Daniela’s
private fridge. “I noticed there ere
