?Chapter 1327:


    Lillian’s voice rang out on the video call, full of mischief. “Cedric, when we get there, I want to see you and Dani already sharing a bed. No more waiting!”


    Lately, Cedric and Dani had been sleeping in their respective rooms.


    It wasn’t that he didn’t want to; he just didn’t have the nerve.


    But hearing Lillian say that lit a fire in him.


    Later that evening, Carol watched as Cedric stepped into his room, carrying a water pitcher.


    Not long after, he returned with a drenched nket in hand and made his way to Dani.


    “My nket’s soaked.”


    Dani was knee-deep in report reading. She didn’t look up and missed the sly gleam in his eyes.


    Still focused on her work, she replied, “Really? Tell the maid. We’ve got extra nkets.”


    Cedric was stunned. After a pause, he added, “The mattress is soaked too.”


    Dani took a few seconds, then raised her head and looked him in the eye. His eyes wavered. He couldn’t hide how uneasy he felt.


    “So the nket’s soaked, and now the mattress is ruined too. What do you expect me to do?” Her tone was calm, but her eyes held a sharper edge.


    Cedric couldn’t read her face. He just felt unsettled.


    He pressed his lips together and lowered his voice. “Where do I sleep tonight? After the explosion, I haven’t felt well. If I sleep on the floor or couch, I’ll probably catch a cold.”


    Dani gave a nod and pointed to a corner. “Sleep over there.”


    Cedric turned and saw a dog bed sitting in the corner.

    Carol broke intoughter the moment she noticed it.


    Without a word, Cedric tightened his jaw and followed the maid to get his mattress and nket reced.


    The maid looked at him warmly. “Sir, you and your wife are married. If you want to sleep in the same room, just bring your nket over. It’s not asplicated as you think.”


    Cedric blinked at her. “I can do that?”


    He had never lived with parents, so couple life was still new to him.


    “Of course,” she said, tossing the wet nket into the basket. “Married couples are supposed to share a bed. Besides, I’ve seen how well she treats you. There’s no reason she’d say no.”


    Cedric gave a small smile. “You’re right,” he said with a nod.


    Later that night, Carol stayed up, clearly waiting to see how things would turn out.


    Dani was still focused on her documents.


    In his pajamas, Cedric walked over and said, “It’s gettingte. You should rest.”


    Dani didn’t look up. “You go ahead and sleep first.”


    Cedric stood there, unsure what to do next. Then he turned around and walked back to his room.
