In The Heart Of Cedric’s Affection Chapter 323
Cedric leaned casually against his car, his presence more magnetic than ever, starkly contrasting the man who once captivated countless admirers. His experiences over the years had lent him a deeper, more intriguing aura.Cedric was intently watching the building's exit, his patience resembling that of a predator in wait.As time passed, the crowd of employees thinned out, and Cedric glanced at his watch, estimating how much longer Sophie could resist.When Sophie finally appeared, he smiled faintly, betraying his anticipation.Sophie moved briskly toward the lot, bypassing Cedric, but he swiftly blocked her path."Let me drive you home.""There's no need, I have my own car," she said coolly, trying to sidestep him but stopping abruptly. Confused, she turned to him. "Where is my car?""One of your employees accidentally hit your car while reversing. I've sent it to the repair shop for repairs," Cedric explained nonchalantly.'My employee hit my car? And they didn't even have th

As the modest car swiftly passed Cedric, a shadow of anger crossed his face, tightly contained.Inside the car, the young driver stole glances at Sophie in the backseat, hesitant to initiate conversation."Mrs. Carlson, it seems like Mr. Carlson is following us," he finally said, breaking the silence.Looking back, Sophie saw Cedric's Bentley close behind. Worse, he even waved at her. Irritated, she urged the driver, "Excuse me, could you please go a little faster?""Sure."-Arriving at her apartment minutes later, Sophie quickly got out and thanked the driver.The driver peeked out with a smile and asked, "Mrs. Carlson, could you give me a good review for your ride?""Sure thing." Sophie nodded. Jeanna had introduced this ride-hailing app. It was said to be popular in Carlosia now. She did not think she would need it, but it came in handy today.The driver was thrilled to have served the city’s richest woman and drove away elated.Soon, Cedric’s car pulled up. He stepped

Cherry hesitated but stepped to the side with a slight motion, using her petite frame to subtly shield herself from Cedric while playfully chiding, "Mommy, the teacher said not to bring strangers home. You're being naughty."Cedric arched an eyebrow, amused and slightly taken aback by her words. 'A stranger, am I?'Mrs. Carrie chuckled to herself and resumed cooking, sensing Cherry's playful challenge to Cedric.Sophie felt awkward and unsure how to explain Cedric’s presence without admitting he had invited himself. Her gaze landed on the half-eaten cherry cake on the coffee table. She tapped Cherry lightly on the forehead before turning to Mrs. Carrie in the kitchen. "Mrs. Carrie, did Cherry trick you into buying her cake again?"Turning off the faucet, Mrs. Carrie asked in surprise, "Isn’t this cake the one you ordered for delivery?""Me?" Sophie was bewildered, her mind elsewhere today."Not Mommy? Then perhaps Godmother Jean bought it? We should ask her where she got it; it’s

"Cedric, can you please leave?"Mrs. Carrie had already started preparing the dishes, but hearing her sudden eviction order, her hands stopped moving. 'If she has allowed him into the apartment, it means that the two of them are on good terms. Why is she suddenly kicking him out?'Cherry could not help but smirk. However, when she glanced at the cake she had not finished, she felt a little embarrassed. 'Oh no, I'm in no position to drive him away now that I've eaten a cake he bought.'Cedric frowned slightly. "Soph, I only want to give you and Cherry—""What you've given us so far was nothing but harm and fright," Sophie cut him off before he could finish his sentence.She closed her slightly moist eyes, his expression reflected in her pupils. Then, her pale lips parted. "Please leave!"Cedric looked at her pale face, still in shock. His lips twitched for a bit, but he did not say a word in the end.As the door opened and closed, Cherry glanced at the door and then at Sophie whi

"I've asked Dr. Zegler regarding Tristan's condition. Tristan will be discharged in another two or three days. Once he's discharged from the hospital, I'll have someone send Vivienne abroad and keep an eye on her." Cedric explained his plan.In this way, Tristan would no longer be hurt again under the guise of love, and Sophie would not have to worry anymore."That's one solution. On the one hand, you have a son who emerged out of nowhere and had been neglected for three years. On the other hand, you have a woman you love but deep misunderstandings exist between you two. Brother, you're in quite a tough spot." Sean sighed, refilled Cedric's wine glass, and clinked their wine glasses together.The media, never content with the truth, had managed to portray a conflicted yet principled man as a despicable and indecisive scumbag. What was worse, every time they wrote about Cedric, they would drag him into it too, tarnishing his sexual orientation along the way.'Damn it!' Cedric frowne

After waiting for one whole day without receiving a reply, Vivienne had no choice but to come up with a solution on her own."Ms. Kerrigan, Tristan needs to undergo a pre-discharge examination," the nurse said with a smile, though the contempt in her eyes could not be concealed.A woman who could even harm her own child for personal gain truly did not deserve to live.Vivienne could only pretend not to notice and reached out to help Tristan on the hospital bed, but he dodged her hand before it could touch his arm."Mommy, it's fine. The nurse will accompany me," Tristan said.Vivienne's expression changed slightly. Ever since Tristan woke up from his coma, he seemed like a different person. Every time he looked at her, his gaze was cold and distant. He even started resisting her touch.The nurse assisted Tristan out of the ward, and Vivienne's simmering hatred was finally unveiled without any pretense. Her hands, hanging at her sides, clenched tightly into fists, and her entire b

"You still smell the same. Vivienne, do you know how much I longed for you during those six years in prison? Every time I thought of you, I wondered what new things I could do to satisfy you even more."Accompanied by a lewd chuckle, the hand pinching her chin suddenly moved downward, slipping over her collarbone and into her clothes.Vivienne struggled desperately, but her limbs were bound, and she could not break free."I just love a woman who knows how to have fun like you. Let's see what I've brought you." William giggled as he pulled out a long whip from the drawer.The whip's appearance caused Vivienne's face to pale. "Please, no! I beg you, don't do this!"The fear deep within her soul made her burst into tears.In the past, when she was known as Cedric's girlfriend, other women envied and admired her. However, behind closed doors, Cedric remained indifferent, his thoughts inscrutable.William's arrival had prompted her hesitation, ultimately leading her to accept the Car

Vivienne had set him up back then because she couldn't bear it anymore, intending to ensure this abuser spent the rest of his life in prison. Yet, he managed to escape."What exactly do you want?" Vivienne tried to calm down, knowing that if William only wanted to retaliate against her, he wouldn't have mentioned Cedric earlier."Heh, it seems you've grown smarter. I can let you go, but you have to agree to work with me," William said with a smirk.Seeing William's sinister appearance, Vivienne gulped subconsciously out of fear. "As long as you let me go, I'll agree to anything."'If I don't, he'll surely torture me to death.'-At Luxford Group.Jeanna rolled her eyes in disapproval. "How was the interest class you took Cherry to try out yesterday? I don't have kids, so I don't understand what's wrong with parents nowadays. Isn't it better for kids to grow up happily without having to attend various interest classes when they're this young?"When she had children in the future

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

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.
