“Alright. I'll give it a go.”
After all, what did he have to lose?
Convincing Daniela to leave could be the key to restoring the quiet harmony they once had.
Daniela’s gaming startup had recently launched a new mobile game, which was now in its beta phase. She was
deeply immersed in testing it, lounging comfortably on the couch with her phone in hand, when Caiden entered,
fresh from the garden.
As he neared Daniela, he cast a cautious glance over his shoulder. Cedric, who was standing nearby, noticed the
movement with his sharp eyes, observing everything without missing a detail. A chill ran down Caiden’s spine as
he met Cedric’s icy stare, which seemed to pierce right through him. The air thickened with tension.
“Do you need something?” Cedric asked, his voice cutting through the quiet with an icy sharpness that made

Caiden responded with an awkward chuckle, though it sounded more strained than he intended. He had hoped
to join Daniela on the couch, but before he could make his move, Lillian swept into the spot with a triumphant
grin. Annoyance flashed across Caiden’s face at being preempted.
Where did Daniela even cacross these freaks? To Caiden, they were a group of eccentrics, sorely lacking any
semblance of common courtesy or respect.
With a click of his tongue, Caiden fetched a small stool and took a seat beside Daniela.
“Daniela, your company is flourishing, but you really shouldn't spend your entire day immersed in games.
They're not good for your eyes, you know.” Peering over at her phone screen, Caiden caught a glimpse of the

He clicked his tongue again, a gesture of disapproval, as he awaited her response. Tpassed, but Daniela
continued to ignore him as if he weren't even there. Caiden felt his patience dwindling and his irritation growing.
What sort of behavior was this?
Then, he recalled Katrina's advice to adopt a gentler approach. Suppressing his irritation, Caiden forced a smile
and gently tapped Daniela’s hand.
This action finally prompted Daniela to tear her gaze from her phone, fixing him with a chilly look.
“What do you want?”
“It’s nothing urgent. | was just hoping we could have a chat. It's been ages since we've had a real heart-to-heart,
just you and me.”
Daniela emitted a sharp, scornful chuckle.
“Really? You're always so busy. It hardly makes a difference whether we speak or not, does it?”
Caiden'’s features contorted slightly, a flicker of irritation crossing his face. He let out a nervous chuckle, but the
edge of bitterness in his voice was hard to miss.
“Of course, we can talk. Let's put the past behind us, shall we? You're still my beloved daughter, after all.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmDaniela offered no reply, her indifference clearly evident, not bothering to mask her lack of interest. The heavy
silence that hung in the air was stifling, leaving Caiden feeling exposed and humiliated. Still, he forced himself to
push forward.
“Sweetheart, you can’t imagine how tough it’s been for me. Do you think my life has been a walk in the park?
When your mother passed away, you were just five. | was left to juggle a huge company and contend with senior
