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

"Go home? We haven't had enough to drink yet." With a slight blush on her cheeks, Sophie seemed determined to keep drinking as long as they were not on the floor. She tried to take her glass back, but he stopped her again. "Cherry and Tristan are watching you."Cedric's words hit the nail on the head. She hiccupped and straightened her posture, trying to regain focus. A responsible parent should not get drunk in front of their kids. "We'll drink some other day.""That's not fair. We said we wouldn't stop until you're completely drunk!" Jeanna would not let go of her.Seeing this, Sean quickly held her in his arms. "Jean, if you still want to drink more, how about we go somewhere else?""Hic, where?" Jeanna asked with a frown, her curiosity piqued."Meeting adjourned!" Linda announced, standing up with her wine glass. Her glasses were long gone, and her meticulously styled hair had come loose, with strands hanging on both sides of her flushed cheeks, giving her a charm no one had e

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
