Chapter 583

Cedric couldn't be bothered with the noise flooding the internet.

Right now, even being the CEO of Phillips Group felt trivial to him. If Daniela was okay with it, he'd gladly hand over the reins to a professional manager.

He had already made more than enough to let him and Daniela roam the world without a care for the rest of their lives.

To him, money was nothing more than a figure on a screen. What was the point of hoarding more? He'd much rather invest his time in making a few babies with Daniela.

On the ride home, Daniela caught Cedric sneaking glances at her stomach.

Scrolling through the latest headlines, she finally looked up, confused."What is it?"

Cedric leaned in, lowering his voice. "Sweetheart, why aren't you pregnant yet?"

Daniela blinked, momentarily lost. "Huh?"

Cedric rephrased with a straight face. "I've been putting in the effort, but still no baby."

Realizing what he meant, Daniela cleared her throat, changing the topic since they were not alone in the car."People are losing their minds over your scandal. You really don't care?"

Cedric shrugged, completely unfazed. "Not even a little." What others thought didn't matter. The only opinion he cared about was Daniela's, and he knew she believed in him.

From the front seat, Lillian cast a glance at Cedric through the rearview mirror.

It was clear-Cedric genuinely couldn't care less.

He had no clue who was pretending to be him, nor did he bother worrying about it. Instead, he leaned back,shut his eyes, and let himself relax-somethingthat, oddly enough, made Daniela feel at peace too. A soft smile tugged at her lips as she realized how pointless her earlier concerns had been.

She had always worried about dragging Cedric down, and that fear had kept her from saying yes to his proposal.

But watching him now, so at ease and unbothered, Daniela felt her own tension melt away. She leaned back,shut her eyes, and before she knew it, sleep took over.

At Phillips Group's entrance, the PR team stood in a tense huddle, their nerves on edge.

The car pulled up, but to the PR team's growing frustration, no one inside made a move to step out.

The PR manager stole a few glances, brows furrowing in impatience, before finally striding over, hand raised to knock.

Just then, the front window slid down at an agonizingly slow pace.

"I'd suggest leaving them be for now."

The PR manager caught on immediately, suddenly feeling like he had stumbled upon something he wasn't supposed to hear.

His thoughts ran wild. Cedric and Daniela sure had their priorities straight. Even with a crisis on their hands,they were busy enjoying themselves in the car. And they didn't even care if someone heard?

Leaning closer, the PR manager whispered, "Lillian, doesn't this feel awkward for you? Want to step out and wait with me?"

Lillian waved him off. "No need. They won't care."

The PR manager was at a loss for words.

These people sure were unbothered.

They didn't care about being overheard, and Lillian was completely unfazed?

Ryan caught the PR mnanager's increasingly awkward expression and decided to step in. "Quit overthinking.They are just asleep in the back." Lillian laughed. "Besides, waking up your boss too soon is a bad idea. Give it another half hour if you don't want trouble."

When Daniela stirred, she opened her eyes to find everyone playing online games, patiently waiting for her.

It suddenly hit her-she should probably book a doctor's appointment.

Lately, she had been unusually drowsy, her back ached constantly, and the mere scent of meat made her stomach turn.

Her gazedrifted to her stomach.

She was on the verge of smiling when a soft knock tapped against the window.

Before she could react, she heard a light tsk. Turning, she saw Cedric watching her. "Still sleepy?"

Daniela shook her head, smiling as she rolled down the window.

The PR manager stood outside, practically sweating bullets."Ma'am, I'm sorry, but it's urgent!"

Daniela gave a small nod and stepped out of the car.

Cedric walked alongside him, his tone casual. "It's nothing major. Don't blow it out of proportion and stress out my wife."

The PR manager's jaw nearly dropped. "The internet is throwing a frenzy over you, and you call that nothing serious?"

This couple was downright unbelievable. They treated the company's crisis like a minor inconvenience.

Upstairs, the PR manager laid out the situation, only for Daniela to nod, unfazed. With that, he let out a relieved sigh and took his leave.

Oddly enough, their laid-back attitude rubbed off on him, making the issue seem far less urgent than before.

After all, the last time disaster struck, Daniela had handled it effortlessly. Compared to that, a flight attendant was hardly a concern. Meanwhile, at the commerce association, Alexander leaned back in the president's chair, hiseyes narrowing. "Are you seriously suggesting jumping off the Elite Lux building? Absolutely not."
