In The Heart Of Cedric’s Affection Chapter 181
"My mommy doesn't have to say anything!" Just as Sophie was about to speak, a loud and clear voice echoed from the staircase, instantly drawing everyone's attention."Oh my, who's this pretty little girl?""I think she just called Sophie her mommy just now."Discussions once again blew up in the crowd.With people crowding the stairs, Cherry had no choice but to raise her head and yell, "Excuse me!"Her crisp and youthful voice, though filled with dissatisfaction, sounded particularly pleasant.Soon, a passage opened up in the crowded corridor.Sasha looked at Sophie helplessly as she followed behind Cherry. They had already arrived at the door of the room, but this mischievous imp had suddenly turned around and dashed backward. Everything had happened so fast that even she could not stop her!Cedric's eyes narrowed at the tiny face that was approaching, his gaze fixing on it intensely. The resemblance was uncanny as if he and the girl were carved from the same mold.The hands

"Ms. Luxford, even if I've disrupted your marriage, just come at me with what you want to do to me! Tristan is just a child. Can you please spare him?" Vivienne's gentle and pitiful tone deserved sympathy.Sophie was amused by this theatrical display, smiling faintly as she reached out. Her slender fingers delicately toyed with Tristan's soft hair, showing no sign of pulling away for quite some time.Only when Vivienne could no longer tolerate it did Sophie withdraw her hand. A hint of frost crept into her gaze and smile as she warned, "Take better care of your son. Otherwise, he won't just get locked up next time."'What's the point of me playing the saint when the boy's mother doesn't even care about her own son?' Sophie convinced herself inwardly."Mommy?" Cherry's eyes widened in disbelief.Did she mishear something? She had just stepped forward to help her mother, so why would she take everything onto herself?"Cherry, go back to the room with Sasha," Sophie instructed.As

In just a few minutes, the much-anticipated "Daddy" arrived at the scene.When the onlookers saw that it was Austin, they were all shocked.When Cherry emerged just now, her face bore a striking resemblance to Cedric's. Moreover, Sophie and Cedric were once a couple, leading everyone to presume Cherry was Cedric's daughter.However, with Austin entering the picture, things became a tad more complex."Daddy, someone bullied me and Mommy. You must avenge us!" Cherry said, throwing herself into Austin's arms. Her tone was pleading, and her posture sought protection, which only seemed to worsen Cedric's expression.Austin rubbed the little head in his arms, reached out to hold Sophie on one side, and gently pulled her into his arms. At that moment, his broad chest felt like the most powerful support, protecting the mother and daughter from everything."How did you get bullied?" Austin's tone softened, but his gaze toward Cedric and Vivienne became icy and stern.Sophie felt somewhat

Austin then stretched out his arms, and a sweet smile immediately appeared on Cherry's face. She wrapped her little arms around his neck and exclaimed, "Papa Austin, I knew you'd always treat Cherry the best!""Cherry, go up first. Mommy has something to say to Uncle Austin." Sophie got out of the car and caught up to Cherry. Her solemn tone made the little girl stick out her tongue, obediently getting off Austin and turning around to go upstairs.Austin took the initiative to speak first. "Sophie—"Before Austin could form his sentence, Sophie interrupted him, "Cherry was just being mischievous and didn't know any better. You don't have to take the entire incident seriously."Today's event would not make much difference to her no matter how it was handled. However, Austin's mention of his relationship with her and Cherry made it impossible for her to pretend like nothing had happened."Sophie, do we have to keep such a distance between us? It's been five years. Why can't you atte

Back in the room, Cherry snuggled into the pink bed, her big round eyes getting more and more bloodshot. Before long, tears started streaming down the sides of her face."Mommy scolded me! Mommy's so mean! Bad Mommy!" Her aggrieved voice sounded choked with tears. Large teardrops gushed down even more fiercely, wetting a large area of the pink sheets.After wiping away her tears, Cherry waddled over to the bookshelves, pulled out a drawing album from the corner where it was least likely to be seen, and sat down on the carpet.Opening the album revealed a collection of drawings, some appearing eerily chaotic. It was difficult to discern their meaning. The only recognizable features were human heads, encircled by dark streaks that vaguely resembled beards."You're the worst! I hate you! I'll never draw you again. Cherry doesn't need a daddy like you!" As she complained, she forcefully tore at the pages, ripping them into pieces. In a matter of minutes, the abstract masterpieces had t

It was such a delicious lollipop that everything would be forgiven.Seeing her daughter's satisfied expression, Sophie smiled and rubbed the little girl's head. However, her gaze could not help but drift toward the trash can again.Ever since she picked up a paintbrush, Cherry had never painted anything else, thinking she had been very secretive.Upon noticing Sophie staring at the trash can, Cherry's expression, though enjoying the taste, turned somewhat unnatural. It seemed like her mother had discovered her little secret."Cherry, you've figured it out, haven't you?" Sophie asked.It was said that mothers and daughters were connected by heart. With Cherry's intelligence and emotional awareness surpassing others her age since childhood, she had likely discerned Cedric's identity at a mere glance."What are you talking about? I don't know anything." Pulling the lollipop out of her mouth, Cherry turned her face away. She truly wished she hadn't discovered or witnessed anything.

"As for Cherry, you've got less ground to bring her into this. Have you forgotten your child passed away in the hospital and then tragically in the cold seawater five years ago? And you're the one who allowed all these to happen?!" Sophie refuted.'I went through hell to save Cherry, and then bring her into this world. She's got no connection to that.'The scab on Cedric's heart was mercilessly torn open. Cedric let go of her, looked at the hatred in her eyes, and stepped backward.'She hates me! And I deserve it!'"I won't let my daughter call anyone else 'Daddy'!" Leaving the message behind, he turned and walked into the elevator. His posture was still upright, but an indescribable loneliness shrouded his body.It was not until the number above the elevator stopped at 1 that Sophie propped her arms against the wall by the door.Five years may have passed, but she still felt a deep panic whenever she faced Cedric, no matter how composed she seemed on the surface.She then looke

Thinking of the gloating expressions on those people's faces, Vivienne could not control her frustration any longer. She angrily threw her coat onto the couch and sat down."Mommy, I'm sorry. I won't do it again." Tristan's eyes flickered with unease. He cautiously approached Vivienne, wanting to reach out and apologize.Before he could touch her, she impatiently pushed him away.Tristan was not prepared for such a reaction at all, and the back of his head hit the sharp corner of the coffee table, causing his small face to contort in pain.A flash of distress flashed across Vivienne's eyes. She wanted to get up, but her anger overcame her eagerness. Impatiently, she glanced at Tristan on the ground and said irritably, "Aren't you going to get up? What are you waiting for?"Tristan obediently crawled up from the carpet, covering the back of his head with his tiny hands. He gnashed his teeth in pain but dared not make a sound."Mommy, I'm sorry. I'll listen to you obediently from n

Tristan looked up in surprise. As if struck by a sudden thought, he glanced at Cherry, who was writhing in pain, and timidly asked, "Can I go to the hospital to help?""You need to stay home and help Cherry get a leave from school tomorrow. Be good and stay here. Trust Daddy. Cherry will be fine." Cedric's words seemed to soothe Tristan's anxiety.Avoiding Cedric’s gaze, Tristan obediently nodded. 'Cherry will surely be fine.'-The Bentley sped along the road and soon arrived at the hospital.Cedric held Cherry the entire time, while Sophie handled the paperwork. Their seamless cooperation made them seem like a perfectly ordinary married couple."Mr. Carlson, Mrs. Carlson, the child has gastritis and needs to be hospitalized for treatment," the emergency physician explained after examining Cherry, jotting down the diagnosis in the medical record.Sophie's face turned pale. 'Gastritis? How could it be so severe?'"Can she recover?" Cedric asked with a frown, his sudden intimida

In Imperium, hardly anyone else would dare yell at Cedric like this. Cedric's eyes narrowed dangerously, his shoulders radiating a cold aura. However, traces of helplessness and doting affection softened his expression. Despite his reluctance, he eventually turned aside cooperatively.Sophie couldn't help but smile. 'It's no wonder some people believe that daughters are their fathers' lovers from a previous life. If it were anyone else, Cedric would have likely thrown them out the window by now.'She lifted Cherry's clothes to reveal her round belly and gently massaged it in circles with her fingers. Taking the opportunity, she also gave Cherry a gentle reminder, "How many times has Mommy told you not to eat so much? But you never listen. Now you know how it feels when you overeat, huh?""Mommy, could you not rub salt in my wounds?" Cherry's face was scrunched up in pain. Her pitiful and aggrieved expression instantly silenced Sophie, who decided to save the scolding for when Cherry

Cedric kissed Sophie’s rosy cheeks, preparing to take things to the next level, when a knock on the door interrupted them at a crucial moment.His expression darkened immediately. No man liked being interrupted at such a time, and it had happened repeatedly."Who is it?" Sophie grabbed the blanket beside her to cover her exposed chest, her hoarse voice betraying her recent passion."Ms. Luxford... It's me." Tristan's low voice came from the other side of the door.'Tristan?' Sophie looked at the man beside her, surprised. She had assumed it was Cherry again, but unexpectedly...Gathering her scattered clothes from the floor, Sophie dressed quickly. Ensuring there was nothing inappropriate between her and Cedric, she got out of bed and walked toward the door.Tristan stood there, head down, fingers fidgeting, indicating urgency. As soon as the door opened, he looked up anxiously and said, "Ms. Luxford, could you go check on Cherry? She seems unwell.""Cherry is unwell?" The flush

"This birthday brings me a lot of happiness."Sophie grasped the deeper implications of his words. The blush on her cheeks faded slightly, and the initial flutter of excitement mingled with a touch of sadness. No one could predict what Jeff's condition would be like by her next birthday.Cedric shifted the topic, pouring the already decanted red wine into a tall glass and handing it to her. "Just one glass. This is for your private birthday celebration. Happy birthday."The intoxicating aroma of the wine was irresistible. She stopped resisting and held her glass up to gently clink against his, producing a clear, melodious sound that resonated beautifully in the quiet room.The rich wine slid down her throat, soothing her tense nerves. Her tightly held shoulders relaxed, and her racing heart found a semblance of peace. She had once believed she would never fall for Cedric again, but looking back, she realized that all her hatred had been rooted in love.He had transformed love into

Cedric seemed to know exactly what Sophie was nervous about. He raised his eyebrows suggestively, causing her to blush and quickly look away.What had happened between them lingered in the air, irrevocable.Jeff squinted, watching their subtle gestures with satisfaction. Smiling contentedly, he struggled to his feet with the help of his cane. These two had already reached a natural conclusion, and there was no need for him to exaggerate his illness any longer."Mommy, I still have homework to do. I'm heading to my room," Cherry announced, her bright eyes glancing at Tristan. She couldn't beat him at Taekwondo, but she was determined to outshine him in the midterm exams!"I’m going upstairs too," Tristan added, surprised by her sudden focus. He hesitated for a moment before quickly following her up the stairs.Melissa had long lost her patience. Without a word, she dragged Matthew upstairs, letting out a disdainful snort as they left.What had been a lively living room now left So

"Okay."Understanding Cherry’s impatience, Sophie smiled and gently pulled away from Cedric’s embrace. She clasped her hands together, closed her eyes, and made a wish.She hoped for her family's safety, health, and happiness. She wished that her parents and sister were living comfortably in another world. And she wished that she and Cedric would have a happy ending, free from past mistakes.After silently making her wishes, she blew out the flickering candles in one breath.The room filled with the faint scent of melted wax."We can eat the cake now!" Cherry beamed with joy, eagerly carrying the cake to the dining table.Her impatience made Jeff laugh heartily, his eyes crinkling with delight as he stroked his beard. "Alright, let’s start eating before this little girl drools all over the table."Sophie took her seat, glancing at Cedric, who still held her hand tightly. Her smile widened as she playfully scolded him, "Why didn’t you tell me on the way here?""If I told you, ho

Although Sophie's mind was brimming with questions, she couldn’t help but smile at Cedric's words. She looked down at their intertwined hands, feeling the warmth of his palm. Whether it was a perfect match or a union made in heaven, it all required two hearts in love. With love, even amidst turbulence, they would find the courage to move forward together.Before long, the Bentley smoothly pulled into the Carlson residence.Jeff immediately smiled and waved upon their arrival. "Soph, come over here."Sophie approached, noticing that Mrs. Carrie had prepared a table full of dishes. She couldn’t help but feel puzzled. "Grandpa, what has made you so happy? Why did you ask Mrs. Carrie to make so much delicious food?""Silly girl, did you forget what day it is today?"Jeff's loving yet mischievous smile left her momentarily bewildered. Then her eyes widened in surprise. With everything going on with Linda, she had completely forgotten her own birthday!"Happy birthday." Cedric had quie

Fearing that staying any longer would only worsen the situation, Linda quickly opened the door and walked out.Fenix stood there, confusion gradually replacing the determination in his eyes."What’s wrong with marrying me?" he asked Sophie, genuinely puzzled.'I’m the CEO of Cheshire Group. I’m not unattractive, and marrying me would make her legally protected as Mrs. Cheshire. Why am I being rejected?'Sophie coughed awkwardly, gaining a deeper understanding of Fenix. Sean had navigated the world of romance with ease, but Fenix seemed as naive in matters of the heart as a child."Am I really that bad?"Seeing that Fenix was still fixated on why he was rejected, Sophie shook her head. "Feelings are different from business. It’s not about racing against time or weighing benefits. You can’t apply business tactics to relationships. Spending a lifetime together requires a foundation of love.""Foundation of love? You and Cedric grew up together. You had a good foundation, but it was
In The Heart Of Cedric’s Affection Chapter 530
Sophie's suspicion was right. Fenix was not one to easily abandon his target. After Linda ignored countless calls, he took the initiative to find her."Mr. Cheshire, Linda really isn't in the office right now," the secretary tried to block him, but it was futile against a determined man, especially one exuding an intimidating chill."Then I’ll find Sophie.""But Ms. Luxford, she—" Before the secretary could finish, Fenix's long legs had already taken him to Sophie's office door.He knocked twice before pushing it open. The secretary looked like she was about to cry. "Ms. Luxford, I’m sorry, I couldn’t stop Mr. Cheshire.""It’s fine. Go make Mr. Cheshire a cup of coffee," Sophie said.Seeing Fenix barge in, she raised an eyebrow, smiled, and glanced at Linda, who was hiding in her office. "Have a seat and let's talk.""No need. I have to catch a flight soon." Fenix cut straight to the point, his determined eyes fixed on Linda as he said firmly, "I need an answer from you.""Mr.
