In The Heart Of Cedric’s Affection Chapter 334
Cedric tightened his lips, his wrist lifting the watch, his Adam's apple bobbing twice as he downed the wine in one gulp.Placing the empty glass on the coffee table, he rose, turned, and declared as he headed towards the door, "Stay away from Tristan until he comes of age."Just as he walked to the doorstep, a pair of arms suddenly wrapped around his waist, and Vivienne did so with every fiber of her being. "Cedric, I really, truly love you."Cedric did not expect her to keep clinging to him. His expression dimmed as he tried to pry the arms around his waist. But as soon as he lowered his head, he felt everything before him swaying.His look turned serious instantly. "What did you spike the wine with?!""You saw it yourself. The bottle was not opened, so how could I have spiked it?" Vivienne replied as her cheek and body's curves pressed tightly against his back.Cedric felt a warm sensation surge in his lower abdomen, and his face's complexion changed rapidly. 'Damn it! She act

Cedric had numerous ways to bypass the law if he wanted to get rid of Vivienne for good. He only refrained from doing something so heartless out of consideration for Tristan. He had not expected her to challenge his limits, even daring to drug him!"You don't need to do so yourself, I'll do it myself!" Vivienne did not defend herself. She got up from the floor, opened the bedroom's French window, and jumped out."Mommy!" Tristan's heartbreaking voice echoed from the door.While looking at the balcony, Cedric's face betrayed his astonishment. 'She actually jumped?!'"Mommy! Mommy!" Tristan dashed downstairs barefoot, finding Vivienne already unconscious.Cedric frowned and quickly dialed 911.-Vivienne was immediately rushed to the emergency room when they arrived at the hospital.Meanwhile, news of her attempted suicide had already spread online at this time.Sophie stared at the news article on her laptop, the emotion in her gaze transitioned from shock at the beginning to c

"Daddy, are you going to send her away?" Releasing his fists, Tristan lowered his head. His long eyelashes shielded his eyes, but they could not conceal the sadness within.Seconds later, tears started rolling out of his eyes and onto his white shoes. "Can we wait until her legs are healed before sending her away?"As he asked softly, he knelt before Cedric.Cedric had intended to reach out to comfort him, but he had not expected this. Thus, his hand hung mid-air as he stared at his kneeling son.The more withdrawn a child was, the more sensitive and mature they tended to be.Cedric's frown deepened, feeling a mix of shock and heartache. "Tristan, do you understand what you're saying?""I want to watch her legs heal," Tristan replied.Cedric's eyes narrowed subconsciously, and every muscle on his face was tensed up. His thin lips pressed into a straight line.Seeing the change in his expression, the medical staff were too afraid to make a sound. They feared he might erupt in an

As Cedric desperately tried to correct his mistakes, all he had done was make things worse.He subconsciously gripped the steering wheel tightly. Because of the excessive force, the veins on the back of his hands faintly bulged. He then loosened his grip, closed the car door, and slumped back in the chair, exhausted.'Soph, is it true that if I make one mistake, God won't give me another chance?'-The news of Vivienne's suicide attempt had stirred up a storm.In the hospital, she had already regained consciousness.Moving her body, she realized only her right calf was in a cast, which relieved her. 'That was close!'The moment she jumped off the building, she genuinely feared she might end up partially disabled. Thankfully, it was only her calf that got injured.Her pale lips formed a faint smirk. 'Even though Cedric doesn't love me, I still understand him after all these years of loving him.'She had intentionally brought out an unopened bottle of red wine to dispel his doub

The fervor surrounding Vivienne's suicide attempt gradually subsided after half a month.Sophie continued her work as usual, maintaining a calm demeanor as if the suicide attempt was the act of a stranger. Apart from standard reports from the company's perspective, she seemed completely detached from the incident.Jeanna propped her arms against the desk, her eyes fixed on Sophie, who was engrossed in her work. "Sophie, what's on your mind? I'm almost dying of anxiety here."Every time she wanted to ask for clarity, Linda would vehemently discourage her. But there must be an explanation for this matter, mustn't it?What was more frustrating was Cedric. It had been so long, and he still had not made any statement. Before this, he had even come to Luxford Group to deliver Sophie's phone or ask her out in the evening. But now, he was nowhere to be seen."What do you need to think about?" Sophie lifted her head and closed the contract she had been reviewing. Her gaze was so crystal cl

"You're indeed very punctual, Ms. Luxford," Vivienne said with a faint smile.If Sophie did not know what she had done, she would have been deceived by the harmless and gentle expression.Sophie took the empty seat across from her, elegantly crossed her legs, and got to the point indifferently, "What do you want from me?""It's something very important. Do you know why I attempted suicide two weeks ago?" Vivienne asked."That's your business," Sophie replied, not bothering to glance at Vivienne's pretentious face. She had only come to let Vivienne know she was not afraid of anyone and did not need to avoid anything.Whether Vivienne jumped off the building or not, and whether she lived or died, it did not matter much to her."That's true. It's indeed my business. However, I think I must tell you what happened two weeks ago to spare you from deception and prevent you from repeating the same mistakes of over five years ago."I attempted suicide because when I was about to leave th

Vivienne's smile froze momentarily, and it soon returned to normal. "It doesn't matter if Grandpa doesn't like Tristan. I still have this one in my womb. As long as Cedric is by my side, I'll just give birth to more grandchildren and eventually win his heart.""Then I wish you good luck." Sophie did not want to waste more time with her, so she got up, unzipped her purse, pulled out a few hundred-dollar bills, and placed them on the corner of the table. "Raising children is already expensive enough, let alone the hassle of getting them recognized by the Carlsons. I'll treat you to today's coffee."Vivienne stared at the bills on the table, her face contorted with rage. She gnashed her teeth and glared at the figure who had already left gracefully. 'Sophie, who do you think you are, being so proud? If I'm not destined to get Cedric, then you won't either."-Sophie stepped out of the cafe and walked steadily to her car, only to suddenly twist her ankle, causing her to wince in pain.

Sophie was lost in Austin's perpetually gentle gaze, speechless. Whenever she was hurt or in pain, he was the one who comforted her. However, his constant kindness now felt like a heavy burden on her heart.Noticing her silence, Austin offered support with a gentle touch and a reassuring smile."You should take it easy at home until your foot is better. Try not to walk too much," he advised.Sophie managed a faint smile, though sleep remained elusive.Sophie's intuition had always been keen. Upon leaving the hospital, she was immediately surrounded by a swarm of aggressive journalists, none from Paramount."Mrs. Carlson, Ms. Kerrigan is pregnant with Mr. Carlson's child. How do you plan to handle this?""Mrs. Carlson, do you hope that both the children lose their father and the warmth of a family?"Question after question was hurled at her, causing Sophie's brows to furrow. She wasn't accountable for Vivienne's condition, yet the journalists pursued her with clearly malicious in

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.
