In The Heart Of Cedric’s Affection Chapter 511
Cedric held Sophie's hand tightly, his breathing gradually calming down. The desire in his eyes was replaced by earnestness."I know Vivienne is like a thorn embedded in your heart. If I could remove her from our past and eliminate all the unease you're feeling, I'd pay any price."Vivienne's suicide might seem deserved, but it had planted a seed of guilt in Sophie's heart. He could always see a trace of guilt in her eyes every time she faced Tristan.As long as this sensation remained unresolved, there would always be a barrier between them.As for Tristan, he was even more innocent.As the scenes from the past resurfaced in her mind, Sophie's expression gradually grew serious.Cedric was right. Vivienne was indeed a thorn buried in her heart. She had resented and pitied Vivienne, but it was not until the moment she jumped to her death that Sophie realized that the person who had hurt her the most wasn't Vivienne, nor was it Cedric, but herself instead.She had been in a marria

There was another reason for this—X Corp. symbolized a nightmare shared by her and Cedric. She did not want this nightmare to follow them forever. Only by letting go could they truly escape the past.Therefore, just as he had thought, using X Corp.'s shares to find peace of mind for both of them was necessary.The matter of the shares was settled smoothly, without any public disclosure. Immanuel notarized the documents, but it would not be announced until Tristan turned 18.-In the blink of an eye, the day of Sean and Jeanna's wedding arrived. As a best friend and employer, Sophie naturally had to attend in style.She opened her wardrobe and scanned the array of dresses. There were countless stunning, elegant, and stylish outfits, but she ultimately settled on an unopened gift box.Last year, for Jeff's birthday, Cedric and Austin had each given her a dress. At that time, she had asked Linda to take them away and deal with them but later discovered that Linda had secretly placed

In the banquet hall of the high-end hotel managed by the Cheshires, many guests had arrived, all of whom were from prominent families and business circles.Neville wore a burgundy suit, looking both festive and fitting for his age and status. His face was beaming with smiles whenever he met someone, clearly having waited for this day for a long time."Nev, I never expect your second son to beat your eldest to get married. Congrats man!" A friend congratulated him.Neville stroked his gray beard. "Whether it's Fenix or Sean, I'm happy as long as I can live to become a father-in-law." At his age, some of his friends' grandchildren were already attending school, but he was just entering the ranks of fathers-in-law. However, it was okay. At least he was alive to become one, and that was what mattered."Don't say that. Young people nowadays are all about efficiency. Who knows, in a few months, you might become a grandfather," a friend of his teased.Neville was delighted by their wor

"Darling, don't worry. I'm right here with you, aren't I?" Sean, dressed in a sleek black suit with a retro tailcoat style that gave him an aura of elegance and sophistication, albeit slightly diminished by the foolish grin on his face, looked almost perfect."I don't need you to accompany me." Jeanna blushed and turned her head to the side.'Oh my God! I'm really going to get married soon. Geez, I'm so nervous, more so than the first time I live-streamed, the first time my design hit the market, or the first time I got caught sleeping with Sean and was taken to the precinct.'It felt like her life was about to enter another unknown phase. She felt anxious and wished Sophie could be here to talk to her.Sophie and Cedric appeared at the entrance of the banquet hall, each holding a child. The lively hall instantly went quiet. Even the ever-boasting Neville and Samantha stopped their socializing and walked over with smiles."Cedric, Soph, why are you so late?" Neville asked."Sorry

The best way to avoid an awkward situation was to leave the location altogether. With a smile and a nod to the crowd, Sophie headed toward the lounge."I must call Soph. If she can't make it to this wedding, I'm not going through with it." Jeanna grew more anxious as she waited.Her little tantrum almost scared Sean to death. He immediately grabbed her hand and looked at her with a pitiful and distressed expression. "Please don't! My mother specifically chose today to be our wedding date, and so many people have come. You can't abandon me like this!""Sean Cheshire! Stop your pretense!" Jeanna could not help but smile as she skillfully pinched his arm.Suddenly, she noticed the door opening. She turned her head, saw who it was, and immediately stood up happily, but her expression soon turned to one of displeasure. "Soph, you finally made it. This is my first wedding, and you almost arrived late. Are you really my best friend?"Knowing she would be reproached, Sophie immediately pu

Among the guests, Cedric grinned as he glanced toward the center of the spotlight. However, his focus was completely different. His profound gaze seemed to rest solely on Sophie, filled with amazement and contemplation. 'Perhaps I truly owe her too much.'Cherry was thrilled, scattering flowers joyfully and unabashedly basking in the admiring gazes of the crowd. 'Being a flower girl is so much fun! All these cheers and attention are for me! It feels absolutely wonderful.'But as she reveled in her moment, she noticed out of the corner of her eyes that Tristan beside her had a stern expression and frowned immediately. 'What's this fella's problem? It's my godmother's wedding today. Can't he at least pretend to enjoy this?'Just as she was about to shoot him a warning glare, her foot suddenly slipped off the edge of the step."Watch out!" Tristan reacted the fastest, tossing his basket away and grabbing Cherry's arm just in time.Instinctively, Cherry flailed as she nearly fell, fli

Over the past few years, she and Sean had been dragging things on, partly because of Sophie, but more importantly, because Jeanna was afraid. Afraid that one day, she might recklessly drive into Sean like her mother did back then, or worse, that he might want her dead.The trembling tone of her voice caused the smiles to fade from the faces of the guests, and silence shrouded the hall.Sophie's eyes flickered with a hint of pity. Jeanna might usually appear carefree on the surface, but Sophie knew that deep down, Jeanna was more sensitive and fragile than anyone else.Sean couldn't help but embrace her around the waist tenderly. Although he had not experienced those unhappy moments with her, he would never forget the scene of her attempting suicide in a daze. Perhaps it was that scene that stirred up a feeling he had never had before—a desire to protect someone, a determination to bring her happiness."Jeanna..." He wanted to say something to comfort her.But Jeanna gave a faint s

"Cedric, Sophie, if the hospitality is lacking today, please forgive us and make yourselves at home." Neville spoke first, making the two younger adults feel a little embarrassed.Sophie shook her head with a smile. "Mr. Cheshire, you're being too kind.""Yes, there's no need to be so formal. Cedric's like a brother of mine, and Sophie is Jean's best friend. From now on, we're all family. Come on, let's drink to that." Sean poured a glass of wine and handed it to Sophie. He then poured another glass for Cedric. "I don't know what the waiters have been doing, but you can use this."Sophie could reject any drink, but she could not reject Jeanna's wedding toast. Smiling, she raised her glass and drank it all.Cedric frowned at Sean, but seeing that he was serious and not doing anything shady, he followed suit and drank.Linda, who had been delayed due to work, hurried over. She had not even had time to change out of her business attire, and it looked like she had run all the way here

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.
