NovelFastChapter 1431: The words sent a dark chill flickering across Cedric's face, his expression sharpening with a dangerous edge.
Oblivious to the storm brewing beside him, Damon went on, "She's distant-never easy to approach. Even if you think you're close, you never really make it past her walls. She avoids digging into anyone's feelings. Her weakness is..." Damon suddenly looked up, blurting, “Daniela's afraid of blood, isn't she?" That guess landed like a spark on dry tinder. Cedric's murderous intent surged. His fingers closed around a fruit knife in his pocket, knuckles white, ready to strike. Before the tension could snap, a knock thudded at the door, shattering the moment.

"Carol's got a gand she wants you there," Daniela said.
"Okay," Damon replied absently. As he brushed past Daniela, he couldn't help but probe. "Daniela, seriously—are you scared of blood?" She caught the strain etched deep in Cedric's brow, his hand clenched tight around the knife. “Cut the nonsense and get moving!" Daniela shot back, her voice cool but laced with warning.
Damon strolled off to join Carol, completely unaware of how close he'd cto disaster. In the living room, Carol grinned. "You've got lucky today, you know that?" Damon let out a laugh, the sounds of gunfire from the gfilling the air, blissfully ignorant.
Daniela shot Cedric a weary look as he seethed beside her. "Cedric, let it go." Cedric's gaze cut through her like frost. "The only people who keep secrets are the dead." Daniela let out a weary sigh. People called her cold, but compared to Cedric, she seemed almost warm. She hesitated, knowing full well that telling Cedric Damon was his brother would mean nothing to him.
Instead, she murmured softly, "Don't kill someone at home." Cedric's voice cout low, unbothered. "Fine. I'll take care of him outside, then." Daniela gently pried his hand from the fruit knife and set it on the table. “I like your hands better when they're making dinner, not covered in blood." Cedric's mouth opened, ready to argue, but Daniela cut him off. "That's enough. Just warn him. Damon isn't the type to run his mouth." A dangerous glint flickered in Cedric's eyes, visions of twisted retribution running wild through his mind.
Daniela couldn't help but laugh softly. "Still mad at me?" Cedric's gaze snapped to hers, caught off guard. "Mad about what?"
She tilted her head, voice softer, m "Because I hid things from you."
Only then did Cedric remember his simmering resentment, and his expression clouded over. Daniela closed the distance, pressing up on her toes to brush a kiss against his lips. "Consider this an apology."
Whatever tension Cedric still carried melted away, replaced by a quiet, boyish delight. "That's it?" She answered with another quick kiss, making him grin from ear to ear.
With his mood thoroughly sweetened, Cedric strode off to handle Damon.
