In The Heart Of Cedric’s Affection Chapter 520
Throughout the entire night, Sophie felt waves of alternating warmth and coolness coursing through her body. At times, it felt as if she were floating in the sky, so comfortable that she did not want to wake up.The glaring sunlight shone on her face, causing her to frown as she turned over, intending to continue sleeping a while longer. However, she was startled awake by the tingling sensation coursing through her body—a sensation not unfamiliar to an adult."You've woken up?" Cedric turned his body toward her, meeting her surprised gaze. His chest, still marked with traces of their passionate night, exuded an alluring aura. His lips appeared suspiciously swollen as if they had been bitten hard, and the shade of lipstick on his handsome face, matching her lipstick color, made her blush even more, prompting her to avert her gaze.'Did we... Did we sleep together last night?' While nervously clutching the edge of the blanket, thoughts flashed through her mind, conjuring up plenty of

Cedric coughed lightly, his expression not one of embarrassment but of frustration. 'I am not at the point where I need that for my health. Does Grandpa really have so little faith in me?'Throughout breakfast, Sophie barely spoke, her face flushed with embarrassment. She felt relieved to escape Jeff's suggestive looks, but the enclosed space of the car made her heart race with anxiety.'Sophie, it’s just sleeping together. It's not like it’s the first time!' she silently berated herself, turning to look out the window in an attempt to calm down.Cedric smiled faintly, giving her time to compose herself."Good morning, Ms. Luxford." The elevator doors opened, and Linda approached as usual. Her immaculate makeup showed no signs of her overindulgence the previous night.Seeing Sophie staring at her, Linda asked, puzzled, "Ms. Luxford, is there something wrong?""No, I just think it must be exhausting for you always to be so perfectly put together every day."If she had not seen Li

"This is from Mr. Carlson," said Evander as he placed the item on the table.Sophie looked at the item, her face full of surprise. "Coke?""Yes." Evander nodded, feeling equally baffled. On his way over, he kept wondering if he was becoming a worse assistant or if Cedric's intentions were just getting harder to decipher. Practicing claw machine skills behind closed blinds was one thing, but delivering Coke instead of jewelry or clothes? That was a new one.While still pondering, Evander's confused gaze met Linda’s, and his cheeks flushed. Quickly turning back to Sophie, he said, "If there's nothing else, I'll head back."Watching him leave in a hurry, Linda suppressed the chaos in her heart from their brief eye contact. "Ms. Luxford, what do you think Mr. Carlson means by sending you Coke?""How would I know?" Sophie replied casually, examining the Coke bottle.After scrutinizing it for a while without finding anything unusual, she turned to the glass window opposite her office

The deliberately prolonged tone made Linda, usually adept at managing her expressions, blush with a hint of suspicion. "Someone has a crush on me? Could it be him?"As the thought crossed her mind, her face turned even redder. She quickly found an excuse to leave the office. "Ms. Luxford, I have some unfinished business to attend to. I'll head back to my office."It was rare to see Linda so flustered.Sophie couldn't help but laugh. This month seemed to be filled with good news. Jeanna was getting married, Linda had a secret admirer, and her relationship with Cedric was progressing.Thinking of Cedric, she glanced out the window and found him still in the same position, his piercing eyes quietly observing her. She couldn't help but smile.She took out her phone and dialed a familiar number. On the third ring, his deep, sexy voice came through. "Why haven't you drunk the Coke I sent you?""I'm worried it might have some strange flavor, like vinegar or something weird."On the oth

The weather shifted from sweltering heat to a cooler breeze, but the top floor of Luxford Group building was heating up. Besides the daily delivery of roses, Sophie's desk was piling up with various exquisite gifts."Looks like I missed a lot of drama while I was on my second honeymoon. The air here is thick with the sourness of love. It's overwhelming," Jeanna remarked as she returned to work, immediately sensing the different atmosphere.She had been worried about Sophie being bullied by Cedric, but it seemed the two were getting along just as her husband Sean had predicted."You missed the Coke incident," Linda said, covering her mouth as she laughed.She only understood the significance of the Coke bottle after seeing it on Sophie's desk. Who would have thought Cedric would come up with such a quirky gesture?"And the blue rose incident," Sophie added, not willing to be outdone, making Linda blush instantly.Jeanna was confused, clutching Sophie's arm with a gossip-hungry exp

"Fenix?" Sophie raised an eyebrow. Fenix was always focused on work, constantly traveling around the world. Today he would be in Illyria, tomorrow in Gallia. Pushing him into this would be quite difficult.-At Cheshire Group:"Mr. Cheshire, here is your itinerary for today," the secretary said, handing Fenix the schedule with a cautious demeanor.People often claimed that being a CEO's secretary was a promising job, but after three years at Cheshire Group, she knew it was exhausting. She was on call 24/7, even squeezing bathroom breaks into five minutes.Fenix Cheshire was a renowned workaholic, with every minute of his day meticulously planned.As Fenix reviewed the printed schedule, his brows gradually knit together. "There's a half-hour gap between the two afternoon meetings?""Yes, because some travel time is needed between the two locations," the secretary quickly explained.Fenix looked up, his brows furrowed. "Then why weren't the meetings scheduled in the same location

Thinking this way, Linda retracted her gaze and walked towards her car. She had barely taken a step when the car horn sounded again.She paused, frowning at the car before reluctantly walking over. No one got out, so she politely knocked on the tinted window. "Hello, were you calling me?"The window, covered with a deep tint, finally rolled down slowly. Fenix looked at her professional smile with a flash of satisfaction in his eyes.Recognizing Fenix, Linda showed a hint of surprise but quickly masked it. "Mr. Cheshire, what are you doing here? Are you looking for Ms. Luxford?"Fenix, the heir of the Cheshire family, was someone she knew well, especially as the chief secretary of Luxford Group. Considering the limited business between Cheshire Group and Luxford Group, his presence was puzzling."I'm not here to see Sophie. I'm here for you.""Me?""Yes, you. If you have a moment, could we talk in the car? I won't take much of your time. Fenix spoke with an air of certainty, open

"You think I'm here to poach you?""Isn't that it?" Linda's face showed suspicion. 'If he wasn't here to offer me a job, would he really drive all the way to Luxford Group just to compliment my work skills?'"Of course not. I'm here to ask you something." Fenix's smile lasted less than a second before his expression turned icy again. His cold tone followed, "As far as I know, you're still single. So, I'd like to ask if you would marry me."Ten years of working as a secretary at Luxford Group had given Linda a strong heart. She could handle any tough problem calmly. But this time, she was genuinely shocked. She must have misheard."You marry me, and you can continue working at Luxford Group."Fenix's voice cut through her thoughts again. Linda bit her lip, the slight pain reminding her that she had not misheard. Fenix had indeed said such an unbelievable thing."I'm sorry, Mr. Cheshire, but we don't know each other very well."She knew Fenix because of her job, but even in a prof

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.
