In The Heart Of Cedric’s Affection Chapter 432
Sean hurried over to Cedric with a cup of warm water, his face shifting from mischief to concern. "You okay? If this is too much, maybe you should consider heading back to the hospital. You don’t need to be so angry."What’s the big deal? I’ve been enduring for almost six years now. If I got upset over every little thing, I would’ve been driven to my grave by my darling Jean."Women are just naturally dramatic. You indulge them, and hey, suddenly you find their antics kind of cute."Cedric took a sip of water, trying to calm himself, yet couldn't help but bristle at Sean's comparison. "Please, don't lump Jeanna together with Sophie.""Cedric, are we still bros? I didn't speak ill of your Sophie, and here you are getting touchy about my Jean.""Your Jean?" Cedric scoffed. "At least I have a marriage certificate to show for my relationship. What about you?"Sean's pride was pricked by Cedric's jibe, prompting him to snatch the glass of water from Cedric's hand, which appeared to ma

Sean pulled a stack of money from his bag and handed it to the Fiat owner. "Dude, this should cover the repairs to your car. Is this enough?""Ah, this is more than necessary. You don't need to give so much!" the Fiat driver responded, visibly overwhelmed.Although he knew the rear-end collision was not his fault, his legs were shaking uncontrollably. He was relieved that he did not have to sell everything he owned to pay for the damage, so he dared not accept so much money for the repair."Too much? If you think it's too much, maybe you could drive me somewhere instead."It must have been a day of bad luck from the start. If he kept driving, who knew what worse things could happen."You want a ride in my car?" The Fiat driver was stunned, baffled that someone who drove a luxury Ferrari was willing to step into his old, second-hand Fiat."Is it not okay?""Of course, it's okay! Please get in, sir. Where do you need to go?""Crimson Bar," Sean stated as he climbed into the passe

The tension was palpable on the top floor of Luxford Group.Linda, clutching a folder, emerged from Sophie’s office only to collide with Jeanna, who also seemed preoccupied. Linda couldn't help but frown. "What’s going on with you?"'Ms. Luxford is upset because Mr. Carlson secretly approached Charlie, and now Jeanna is showing signs of distress too.'"I’m not creating drama. It’s just that men can be so infuriating," Jeanna muttered through gritted teeth, handing the folder she was supposed to show Sophie over to Linda. "Please take this in for me. I’m heading off now."Linda wanted to remind her that it wasn’t time to leave yet, but Jeanna had already turned and entered the elevator."That jerk Sean, pretending not to see me and now not even bothering to call!"As the elevator descended, her anger surged higher. The elevator dinged, and she stepped out with a cold expression.Colleagues who were about to enter stepped aside, waiting until she had moved farther away before they

"But it hurts so much. Can't Mr. Cheshire kiss it better?" The woman adjusted her hairstyle, her act growing more flirtatious by the moment.'Mr. Cheshire, having re-emerged in the social circles after five silent years, provided me with this rare opportunity. Naturally, I had to use every trick in the book.'"Smooches to make it better?"Sean nearly choked. Typically, he was the first to console his beloved Jeanna whenever she was in pain but hearing the same words from another woman sounded revolting."Mr. Cheshire, you've hurt me. Can't you give me some smooches to make it feel better?" The woman showcased her voluptuous figure, sidling closer to him with intentions more amorous than comforting.Sean instinctively attempted to push her away. However, noticing a taxi nearby, his dismissive wave transformed into a reluctant nod. "Fine, I'll kiss it better."Selecting a visually appealing angle, Sean suppressed his repulsion and delivered a few quick pecks. Immediately, he was ov

Beeping sounds soon filled the livestream room, and Jeanna managed to conceal her irritation. She settled at the computer desk to set up her equipment.[Why are you so late today, Jean?][Hey Jean, what cool stuff are you sharing with us today?]The chat buzzed with excitement, briefly bringing a smile to Jeanna's face. Still, her expression quickly turned grim as if someone owed her money.[Jean, what’s wrong? You seem off today.][Let’s raise funds and send a box of fine wine to Jean!][Pooling money. Count me in for one cent!][I’ll contribute two cents.]The playful banter behind the screen was clear, and she leaned back in her office chair, typing swiftly.[What does it mean when a man who's been like a puppy around you every day suddenly chews on another bone one day?]This question turned the already lively room into a frenzy, sparking a barrage of responses.[It must mean the previous bone didn’t have enough meat on it!][Jean, have you been neglecting your man?][

"I've figured it out. Both of us are clearer as observers but utterly confused when we're directly involved. Ah, we're true brothers in adversity, eh?""Who's your brother in adversity?" Cedric frowned, his expression tinged with disdain.Yet, he recognized that deeper emotional involvement often made fear and nervousness harder to manage. Even the slightest issues could explode with the force of an atomic bomb.'Maybe Soph was right. What we lacked was understanding and trust.'-After several awkward days, Sophie finally started to recover a bit and realized she had not seen Jeanna for days.Concerned, she asked Linda, "Has the design department been unusually busy lately?"Usually, Jeanna would gossip in her office during any downtime. The recent silence was out of character."Not busy, just preoccupied.""What do you mean by that?"As Linda’s smile slowly spread, Sophie's confusion deepened. 'What did she mean by preoccupied?'"I heard from a colleague that someone spott

Sean was in his element, yet his heart pounded wildly. He gripped his phone, having deliberately reached out to a junior editor to circulate a juicy piece of gossip online. His eyes darted nervously to the door.'God! I've really gone all out this time. If this doesn't work, I'm finished. Please, let Jean see this and not come at me with a cleaver.'"Why are you always so distracted when you're with me? If this continues, I might just get unhappy," grumbled the woman he had ditched previously. Her outfit today was even more provocative, with half her bosom exposed, aiming to captivate the man before her.Despite her bold display, Sean appeared completely uninterested in her ample cleavage, intensifying her irritation. Sean had once preferred women like her.The woman speculated, 'Could his tastes have changed over six years, or could the rumors be true? That he had joined the gay community, and his public relationship with the Luxford Group's design director was merely a cover?""

"Get out, now!" Sean had been itching to kick her out for a while, and with Jean's arrival, he wanted this woman gone immediately to avoid ruining their time together.The woman, unable to salvage her dignity, leered at Jeanna before hastily grabbing her purse and scurrying off.Catching sight of Jeanna's livid expression, Sean fought the impulse to plead and instead attempted a calm tone, asking, "What do you want?""What do you mean, what do I want?" Jeanna's anger was palpable. Despite her typically stern demeanor towards him, she felt betrayed. 'How could he casually entertain another woman without so much as a warning? What did he take me for?'"W-What do you mean? I don’t understand what you’re implying," Sean stuttered, trying to adhere to the script he had mentally prepared.Watching him play dumb, Jeanna clenched her teeth in frustration and gestured toward the direction the woman had exited. "Who is that woman, and what is her connection to you?"She wondered, 'When did

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.
