In The Heart Of Cedric’s Affection Chapter 451
Cedric smirked faintly. "My grandfather usually hates it when someone follows him during his walks. But when he collapsed this time, he had two attendants with him. That's clearly not his style unless it's a premeditated plan."After all, Jeff was getting older. If he were to fall, it would need to be dealt with promptly, which was why he had two attendants accompany him.Dr. Zegler's expression changed slightly, and a hint of conflict appeared in his eyes. "The fall was indeed staged. Your grandfather spoke kindly to me, asking me to help him fabricate a lie. But he's doing so for your and Ms. Luxford's sake."However, his Parkinson's disease is real. Like all of you, I still can't muster the courage to tell him the news."Hearing that the collapse was staged, Cedric's mood was just starting to relax, but what Dr. Zegler said next seemed to catch his throat instantly. "Are you serious?"Although Cedric could not be certain before, he had chosen to believe that everything was just

Feeling relieved, Jeff waved his hand with a smile. "I'm not in a hurry. I'm just worried that Soph has too much luggage to pack today.""Don't worry, Grandpa. Cherry and I don't have much luggage. We'll be able to move in tonight." Knowing the implied meaning in Jeff's words, Sophie smiled faintly. However, her eyes could not help but shift onto Cedric.'Has he asked anything?'When Jeff heard Sophie's straightforward answer, he laughed heartily. "Okay, then I'll have Mrs. Lauren tidy up the rooms. I don't know if the room for Cherry will suit her liking. But it doesn't matter. If she doesn't like it, we'll change it immediately as long as my great-granddaughter likes it." 'How could being admitted to the hospital feel so comfortable this time around?'-After dropping Jeff off at the Carlson residence, Cedric drove Sophie to her apartment. The journey was eerily quiet, except for the sound of their breathing filling the car.Eventually, Cedric's deep gaze shifted toward Sophi

'In the Carlson family, apart from the underperforming Daddy, the only other person Mommy cares about is my kind and generous Great-grandpa.'For an 80-year-old man, it was obvious what could happen.Upon thinking of that, Cherry's pouting lips gradually tightened, and a hint of sadness crept into her downcast eyes, concealed by her fluttering eyelashes. 'Mommy didn't mention the reason, so I'll just pretend not to know and spend time with Great-grandpa in the mansion.'Unexpectedly, the girl, who had been unusually quiet for almost half a day, was actually pondering this issue.Mrs. Carrie smiled fondly. "That's for sure. In the past, your great-grandfather used to love your mommy the most, and now he's got you, Miss Cherry. He must want to give you the very best!""If Great-grandpa has given me all the very best, who will give him the best?" Cherry asked, lifting her head for a moment before lowering it again. "I hope Great-grandpa can also keep some of the best things in life f

The Bentley slowly pulled up in front of the Carlson residence. Through the gate and across the yard, Sophie saw Jeff standing by the window, constantly looking out.When he saw them, his anxious expression turned into a relieved smile.This smile, however, caused her heart to ache slightly, but she still smiled and waved at him.As soon as the car stopped, Jeff eagerly walked out of the mansion, leaning on his cane.Sophie quickly got out of the car and asked worriedly, "Grandpa, why did you come out?""Of course, I want to see you as soon as possible." Jeff squinted with a smile. Even though Sophie had agreed to move back so readily before, he was still worried that things would not go as planned. Now, seeing them return together, he felt reassured."Great-grandpa, you only wanted to see Mommy sooner. Don't you want to see Cherry too?" Cherry jumped down from the back seat, her bright eyes blinking as she playfully asked while already running to hug Jeff."Oh dear, did Great-g

"Then I want... I want Great-Grandpa you to always stay with me so that all my wishes can come true!" Cherry said with a smile, but sadness surged inwardly.'Great-grandpa treats Cherry so well… I don't want him to leave so soon.'Jeff thought it was just a mischievous trait typical of children, so he rubbed Cherry's head with a smile. "Okay, Great-grandpa will always be with you. When you grow up, I'll still be around to see which rascal has the guts and potential to marry my precious great-granddaughter."As they were joking, the mansion's door opened again, and the family's driver came in carrying a large school bag. Upon seeing Cedric and Sophie, he quickly bowed and greeted, "Elder Master, Mr. Carlson, and Mrs. Carlson, Mr. Tristan has finished school."Sophie was slightly taken aback when she saw Tristan following behind the driver. It had been just over three months since she last saw him, and he had grown significantly taller. His previously underdeveloped features had also

A luxury car slowly turned onto the wide road of a wealthy neighborhood.Melissa let out a frustrated sigh, her face wearing an upset expression. "Father is really something. It's not like we don't have any servants at home, so why would he insist we go to the supermarket to buy groceries? Not to mention that we were seen by Grace Dobbs. I can already imagine how she'll gossip about me to my friends."As the most affluent lady in the entire Imperium, the thought of having to go to the supermarket to buy groceries made her feel indignant.Upon hearing her complaint, Matthew maintained his gentle smile and comforted her, "It's just grocery shopping, isn't it? I think it's quite nice. It's been a long time since we last went out together like this, walking around and picking out ingredients. I actually think days like this have a slight down-to-earth charm."Having someone serve him in everything was much easier, but it also took away a lot of the joy. Instead, picking out ingredients

Naomi's enthusiasm swept much of the annoyance on Matthew's face away. However, he still declined, "I'd love to hear about your achievement, but I have some family matters to attend to tonight. I'm sorry.""Did something happen at home?" Naomi asked worriedly.Hearing the worry in Naomi's tone, Matthew chuckled heartily. "No, it's no big deal. It's just that my daughter-in-law and granddaughter have moved back in, and we're having a reunion dinner tonight.""Oh, I see. That's unfortunate timing, but it's okay. I've already shared my happiness with you over the phone, so I won't bother you further," Naomi said joyfully."Alright, goodbye," Matthew said with a smile as he hung up the phone, feeling much better. He glanced in the direction of the Carlson residence, knowing that home wasn't far away. He shook his head and began walking home.-Mrs. Carrie did not disappoint, bringing all her specialty dishes to the dining table.Looking at the table filled with a feast of scrumptiou

Cedric's seemingly casual remark caused Austin's carefully concealed expression, maintained since he entered the room, to change subtly. He turned to Sophie, his gaze complex and enigmatic, leaving her slightly uncomfortable.However, Cedric's remark, though pointed, stood firm in its truth."I see, so you're fond of multiflora roses," Austin remarked lightly, a faint smile gracing his face. Yet, inexplicably, Sophie felt a twinge of unease, as though she had erred somehow.Jeff, seasoned and perceptive, spoke up with a smile before others fully grasped the situation. "Since Sophie enjoys multiflora roses, let's have the staff purchase some tomorrow. With the weather warming up, there's plenty of space in the garden. We'll plant whatever Sophie fancies."Cherry looked up and added, "Mommy adores pink and burgundy multiflora roses."While saying so, her guilty eyes could not help but glance at Austin, and she could only swear inwardly, 'Papa Austin, although you treat Cherry very w

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.
