What are you trying to do? Why didn't you tellif you invited him?" Daniela's gaze remained steady, her voice frosty. “I didn't reach out to your father." The moment those words left her lips, Charles' whole body jolted like he'd been electrocuted.
"Then how the hell did he know Cedric was here? Has he been spying on you? Cedric just got here-and suddenly my father appears?" "That's likely the case," Daniela answered, cool as ice. Cedric hadn't even been here ten hours, and Hamilton had already shown up. There was no way that was just coincidence.

At seventy, he exuded vitality, his hair full and strikingly devoid of grey. The only hint of his age was his reliance on a cane for stability as he exited his vehicle.
His eyes, both sharp and discerning, instantly found Daniela across the courtyard. Their gazes met and held from afar.
With an air of sophistication, Hamilton's face broke into a smile. Charles rushed to his side, offering support while addressing him respectfully, "Father." Hamilton acknowledged him with a simple grunt, his focus still intensely on Daniela.
Approaching her, Hamilton said, “Daniela, to finally meet you does justice to your renowned elegance." With a slight smile, Daniela responded courteously, "Hello, Mr. McCoy." Noticing Charles' evident nervousness, Hamilton's demeanor turned stern. "Still so useless." Surprisingly, Charles collapsed to his knees at his father's harsh words. Hamilton's firm hand in family matters was unmistakably evident. Observing Charles on the floor and then back at Hamilton, Daniela noted the dynamics at play.
Hamilton's smile returned as he addressed her. "Sorry, my son has made a fool of himself." Despite Hamilton's commanding aura, Daniela maintained her poise, her smile unwavering and composed. Hamilton's gaze toward Daniela grew more appreciative. "I heard Cedric is here. I would like an introduction." Initially, there was a touch of geniality in his voice. Then, his gaze turned toward the kitchen.
The kitchen had a large, transparent sliding door that made its interior entirely visible from the outside.
There, Hamilton caught sight of the son he had always pictured as an perfect elite now grounded in a more domestic role.
Clad in a neatly tailored apron, Cedric expertly handled a chef's knife m cutting a simple cucumber into slices so precise they resembled art. A profound quiet settled across the living room at that moment.
