NovelApexChapter 1262: Daniela clenched her jaw. "I told you not to come, didn't I? You know exactly who Hamilton is. Now that you're in Oiscoll, getting out won't be so simple." Cedric gave a nonchalant shrug. "In that case, I'm not going anywhere. So, you're here backing Charles, huh? Well, I'll just stick around. Whenever you head out, I'll go too." Daniela glanced at Cedric, a wave of resignation sweeping over her. She then turned to Carol and said, "When the flights are running again, get him on one and send him back home." Carol lounged against the staircase banister with a grin. "Consider it done!" When Daniela arrived in Oiscoll, she bought a super-luxurious seaside villa. The place was massive, with a front- row seat to the sea and a breeze that felt like nature's own lullaby.
Cedric grabbed a float and dove into the waves, then spent over an hour jogging the shoreline like it was his personal track.

Carol let out a happy sigh and said to Daniela, "It's nice having someone around. He's got so much energy- makes the place feel alive. Plus, we've got real meals now. I'm loving it!" Daniela sat at the dining table, eyes settling on her favorite dishes. Whatever irritation she felt melted away with the aroma.
After the meal, Daniela stepped out and called Cedric to join her. Cedric stood under the open sky, the sea breeze brushing past him, clad in relaxed shorts-he looked completely at home.
"I'm dead serious," Daniela said. Cedric's laid-back attitude gnawed at her nerves-he was far too calm for a place like this. She had to spell it out again. "Oiscoll belongs to Hamilton. If he wakes up on the wrong side of the bed, he won't think twice about doing something reckless. So when the storm settles in a week, you're flying back. Until then, you don't leave this villa. Not even a step." Cedric gave a quick nod, agreeing without the slightest pause. Then, still in those shorts, he spun around and hopped into the open-top minivan with the housekeeper, heading off on a grocery run. The two chatted easily, as if they were old friends reunited-regretting they hadn't crossed paths earlier.

Daniela lowered her voice and asked, "Did you message him?" Knowing Cedric, he could've stayed mad for ages. There was no way he would've turned up this fast on his own.
Carol smiled warmly. “You stared at your phone the whole night. I figured you missed him, so I called him. There aren't that many things we really want in life. Why make it harder on yourself? Life's already tough. You've got to find your own happiness. It's too short to spend chasing things you pretend not to want. That kind of longing-it just chokes you." Daniela glanced toward Cedric, who was laughing and chatting with the housekeeper in the kitchen. She sighed. "Living on your own terms isn't easy. Maybe you've just never had to learn that."
Carol nodded thoughtfully. "Maybe I don't. But the moment Gedric arrived, I saw you smile for the first tsince you got to Oiscoll."
Honestly, if Carol hadn't pointed it out, Daniela wouldn't have even m e realized she was smiling.
