In The Heart Of Cedric’s Affection Chapter 500
Jeff was getting a bit restless in the living room. When he saw Sophie descending the stairs, he anxiously asked, "Is little Cherry okay?""She's fine, just tired from class. She'll be okay after some rest. Let's eat." Sophie smiled gently, choosing not to mention the incident between Tristan and Cherry."That's good. Mrs. Carrie, save some of her favorite dishes for later. When our little glutton gets hungry, heat them up for her.""Don't worry, sir," Mrs. Carrie replied with a knowing smile, well aware of Cherry's eating habits.Tristan could not help but glance upstairs toward Cherry's room, his delicate brows furrowing slightly. 'She must be really angry.'Sophie noticed his brief look of resignation before he lowered his head again, confirming her suspicions. Setting down her utensils, she said, "Tomorrow is Saturday. I was thinking of taking Cherry and Tristan to the amusement park.""That's a good idea. You and Cedric can take the kids. Children shouldn't be constantly eng

Cedric purchased all-inclusive passes, and they followed the crowd into the amusement park. As soon as Cherry saw the carousel at the entrance and the Ferris wheel turning slowly in the distance, her pent-up frustration from the previous night melted away. She grabbed Sophie's arm, her eyes sparkling with excitement. "Mommy, I want to ride the carousel and the Ferris wheel!"Seeing her daughter's enthusiastic demeanor, Sophie felt a twinge of guilt.Cherry might be more mature and understanding than other kids her age, but she was still a child who deserved a joyful, carefree childhood."Okay, okay," Sophie agreed with a smile, then turned to Tristan, who had been unusually quiet all morning. "Tristan, would you like to join us?""I—""Carousels and Ferris wheels are for girls," Cherry interjected before Tristan could answer, her face pouty. She did not want to ride with him."Ms. Luxford, I won't ride those," Tristan said quietly, bowing his head slightly. He knew Cherry was s

"Let's ride the carousel," Sophie suggested.Cherry, who had been eager to ride the Ferris wheel and carousel just moments ago, now looked hesitant, her voice wavering slightly. "Mommy, how about we try something else first?"She imagined the carousel suddenly stopping while it was spinning. 'Wouldn't I crash into the horse's rear in front of me?'Seeing right through her hesitation, Sophie could not help but smile. "What do you want to do instead?"Cherry glanced around. The roller coaster, drop tower, and pirate ship all looked terrifying, especially with the constant screams coming from every direction. She shuddered and pointed to a claw machine in a quiet corner. "Let's play that.""Are you sure?" Sophie asked."Yes, that's what I want to do," Cherry replied earnestly, tugging at Sophie's arm.Trying not to laugh, Sophie let herself be pulled toward the claw machine, with Cedric and Tristan following close behind."Mommy, see that pink stuffed animal inside? I want that on

While Sophie was feeling frustrated by the rapid succession of failures, the claw machine beeped again as the pink toy that had almost been grasped slipped and fell back down.Sophie could not help but smile. She knew the difference between her and Cedric should not be that vast.Cherry’s enthusiasm plummeted like the fallen toy. She pouted, her voice tinged with disappointment. "I thought it was going to come out."Cedric had not expected the toy to fall at the last second either. His brows furrowed slightly, but he maintained his calm expression."No problem, we'll get it this time," he assured her, inserting two more tokens.His sharp eyes locked onto the pink toy near the edge. After carefully aligning the claw, he pressed the drop button.The claw’s three prongs formed a solid, stable triangle and descended toward the pink toy. Sophie instinctively widened her eyes, watching the toy get picked up, her breath catching.'This time it has to come out.'Cedric’s confident, c

Tristan was surprised that Sophie had seen through it all. He tried to maintain his composure, but her next words caught him off guard."If your nose still hurts, let me know. Cherry's weight might have caused some real damage.""Cherry's not fat."Sophie's eyes flashed with surprise. 'Cherry's not fat? I have been contemplating whether it was inhumane to put a nearly six-year-old on a diet. But Tristan actually said she isn’t?'Realizing his reaction was a bit too strong, he quickly looked away. "My nose is fine, really.""Good to hear. Actually, I didn’t just want to ask about yesterday’s class. There's something else." Sophie composed herself, hoping to address the school incident and hear the truth directly from Tristan.Tristan paused, confused. "What is it?""There's a boy in Cherry’s class named Collin Reese. A while ago, he got into a fight at school. You were the one who hit him, right?"Had she not overheard the conversation between Collin and his mother, she would ne

Sophie smiled gently. "How do you know if you don't try?"'Tristan might not be able to forget immediately, but he’ll never know until he tries. Once he moves past those dark clouds, he'll see the clear sky beyond.'A staff member noticed they had been standing at the entrance for a while and approached. "Ma'am, would you like to buy some cold drinks?""Sorry about that. Yes, I'll have two bottles of water and two cherry sundaes."Deciding it was time to wrap up their conversation, she smiled and paid for the order. She then handed one of the cherry sundaes to Tristan."Ms. Luxford...""You run fast. Take this to Cherry before it melts."Cherry's temperament had similarities to hers. Even if she wanted to forgive, she needed a way to accept it gracefully.Upon understanding her intention, Tristan's eyes filled with gratitude. He could not help but make another request, "Thank you, Ms. Luxford. Can the situation with Collin remain our secret?""Of course. Cherry won't find out.

Sophie pursed her lips as she watched his repeated failures, barely holding back her laughter until her cheeks ached. 'It seems I've overestimated his abilities before this.'The tokens she had just bought were used up in no time. Cedric frowned, emitting a chilling aura through his gaze, almost as if he wished he could bore a hole through the glass window."I'll definitely grab that toy." Refusing to give up, he pulled out another banknote and inserted it into the vending machine.After pressing a few buttons, the machine's AI voice chimed in. "We're sorry, the machine has run out of tokens. Please contact the supplier."Cedric's expression dimmed as he glared at the screen displaying the insufficient tokens prompt, his gaze sharp, almost murderous.Sophie could not hold back anymore and burst out laughing. 'Has he bought all the tokens?'Just as she was about to ask him to leave, he had already pulled out his phone and dialed the supplier's number before she could say anything.

Beautiful weekends always seemed exceptionally short. By Monday, everyone was back in their professional attire, ready to start a new week of work.In the CEO's office of X Corp., Immanuel knocked on the door and walked in with his briefcase. "Mr. Carlson, you wanted to see me?""Yes, I want you to draft a will." Cedric put down his pen and stated, shocking Immanuel and Evander."Mr. Carlson? Did you hear what you just said?" Evander, who was standing to the side, asked.'Has Mr. Carlson lost his marbles or is he just not fully awake? Why would he think about drafting a will when he's only in his 30s?'Cedric smiled faintly, but his resolute tone left no room for doubt. He was not crazy or sleep-deprived—he was serious about drafting a will."Mr. Carlson, how would you like it to be done?" Immanuel asked nervously.He had handled numerous wills for wealthy families, but they were all for older individuals. Cedric, being so young, left him baffled as to why he would want to draft

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.
