Chapter 424
Chapter 424:
“Absolutely! My niece, Shirley Randall, is gorgeous, tall, leggy, and buxom, which certainly appeals to men.
Cedric and Daniela are both too reserved. Honestly, | think bringing Shirley here could spark something with
Cedric.”
She felt a thrill at the thought of conflict between Cedric and Daniela.
Before Lillian could reply, Katrina strode out to the yard to make a phone call.
Her voice was a bit too loud, reaching Daniela’s ears.
After her shower, Daniela preferred not to blow-dry her hair. With a towel in hand, she stood on the balcony and,
by chance, overheard Katrina making a phone call below.
“I know a man of substance, Cedric Phillips, whom I've mentioned before. He's often spotlighted in the financial
press as a standout figure of our era. If Shirley pairs with him, she'd be striking gold.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“True, he’s somewhat reserved, doesn’t waste words, and can be quite austere. But that’s hardly an issue. Isn't a
touch of severity common among men, especially the accomplished ones like him? He possesses a razor-sharp
intellect, and his reserved nature is hardly a drawback. If he’s sparing with words, Shirley can simply fill the air
with hers. I've heard he hasn’t been in a serious relationship before.”
“No! Rest assured, he definitely has an interest in women! Cedric only has his grandmother, so the family
fortune is bound to fall into his lap. If he and Shirley tie the knot, all that wealth will be hers as well. Isn't that a
thrilling prospect? Send Shirley here. She’s met Alexander, right? Believe me, Cedric outshines Alexander in
looks!”
Katrina was busy orchestrating Cedric’s introduction in the yard. Meanwhile, Cedric, the very man Katrina
depicted as having a frosty demeanor, had just emerged from a shower and was confidently striding into
Daniela’s room, a project contract in hand.
“What's going on?” Cedric set down the contract and approached Daniela. He casually took the towel from
Daniela’s hands.
Overhearing Katrina's matchmaking efforts in the yard, Daniela chuckled.

“Katrina's turned into quite the cupid. We didn’t chtogether this evening, and she’s already plotting
your romantic engagements.”
Cedric seemed unfazed by Katrina's matchmaking antics. He was more captivated by the challenge of taming
Daniela’s silky strands.
He picked up a bottle of essential oil, unopened and waiting on Daniela’s desk, warmed a dollop in his hands,
and delicately worked it through her hair. Her hair slid through his broad palms like threads of fine silk.
A shadow crossed Cedric’s eyes as his thoughts drifted. He chuckled to himself, realizing how marriage had
softened his usual resolve.
Looking up, he caught Daniela observing him with intense focus.
“This isn’t necessary, it’s such a chore,” she said.
“Lillian gifted you these over six months ago, and you haven't so much as cracked a seal. It's no wonder she

Despite her aversion to late nights, Daniela shunned elaborate grooming routines, yet her skin was smooth as
porcelain, prompting envious praises from Lillian.
“It's all too cumbersome, and using all these just once is wasteful. It's not worth the fuss.” Daniela was never
one for an extensive beauty regimen. In the harsh winter, she was content with just a dab of baby cream.
“I don’t mind the hassle, though. From now on, I'll manage all your pampering needs.”
His words tinged with a hint of double entendre.
