In The Heart Of Cedric’s Affection Chapter 39
"Did I get it right?" Sean chuckled, his eyes, the color of peach blossoms, unable to conceal the wit beaming within.Cedric frowned in displeasure. 'It's just a guess, but how could he be so accurate?'"Don't give me that look. If you want to know how I figured it out, come to Crimson Bar. This month's turnover hasn't even reached half of what I expected," Sean explained.Originally, he had contemplated which friend to invite to boost this month's revenue, but now, someone had come to his door voluntarily."Behave yourself." Cedric snorted disdainfully, started the car, and headed toward Crimson Bar.In under five minutes, the Rolls-Royce was parked outside the bar."Boss, Mr. Carlson." Upon seeing the two men getting out of the car, the receptionist at the door immediately bowed at a 90-degree angle.Sean threw the car keys over. "Keep an eye on Mr. Carlson's car and bring two bottles of our most expensive wine to the private room. Charge it to his account.""Yes, sir," the r

The woman who eagerly sought to cuckold him should face severe consequences. Moreover, it was just a fever, so why was he so troubled, even anxious about it?"You can't conceal it any longer, can you? Let me ask you this: after being married to Sophie for three years, do you like or love her?" Sean asked."Huh?" Cedric was slightly puzzled upon hearing the question.However, after a moment of bewilderment, Cedric's expression dimmed. 'Has he lost his mind? Did he just imply that I've fallen for Sophie?'"I knew you'd make this face. How could you live with her for three years if you didn't like her? Don't tell me it was because of your grandfather's pressure. No matter how powerful he is, he'll never be able to force you to live with her," Sean analyzed.They were of the same kind. Living with a woman whom they did not love was impossible—enduring such a life for three months, let alone three years, was out of the question.Cedric pursed his lips tightly as the image of Sophie's

"Love is something that ferments in an unexpected moment. Before you even realize it, it will have grown beyond control. Bro, that's why I never dabble in it. It's just too emotionally exhausting," Sean said, taking a satisfied sip of his drink.He pondered the simplicity of relationships when reduced to mere transactions. Why bother with the complexities of emotions?"Cut the nonsense!" Cedric slammed his glass down, irritated. The idea of love between him and Sophie was absurd."Really? Nonsense?" Sean challenged, "Weren't you seething with jealousy seeing her with Austin?""That's because she was about to cheat on me!" Cedric's face flushed with anger at the mention of Austin.Sean teased him, "Now that's not fair. Haven't you strayed from Sophie more times than you can count? And let's not forget, you and Vivienne even have a son old enough to stir the pot."Cedric's lips twitched, but finding no retort, he just drank in silence. Two bottles of wine were quickly emptied, with

Jeanna's eyes formed a seductive curve, her gaze akin to a siren's, captivating the three men. They believed they had an easy target, but her mocking, alluring lips soon parted with a tease. "Guys, your pick-up lines are so outdated. Got anything fresh? I prefer men with a creative spark!"Her once-alluring face turned icy in an instant. The men exchanged knowing glances and departed with meaningful strides.Dismissing them with contempt, Jeanna seized her freshly served orange juice and took two big sips, oblivious to the small pill dropped into it during her dramatic change of expression.Sean observed the scene with amusement and thought, 'As the saying goes, beauty without brains.'Indeed, she did not realize she had been drugged.Soon, Jeanna's head spun, a strange warmth spreading through her. Instinctively, she suspected the orange juice and cursed under her breath, "Damn it, resorting to such lowly tactics!"Abruptly, she placed a bill on the bar and unsteadily rose from

The grandiose suite was bathed in warm sunlight streaming through the curtains the following morning. The silk duvet lay half-slipped onto the carpet, glowing in the soft light.Loud knocks at the door abruptly shattered the tranquility. Jeanna, blissfully asleep until now, stirred restlessly, her long legs entangled with the muscular figure beside her.The relentless pounding intensified as if someone was on the verge of breaking down the door."What's with this hotel? Can't one recover from jet lag in peace?" Jeanna mumbled, her eyes still closed.Guided by the noise, she shuffled toward the door, half-opening her eyelids and fumbling for her clothes. Annoyed, she yanked the door open. "Have you no manners? It's barely morning! Do you know how tired I was last night? Keep it up, and the police will hear about this!"With that, she slammed the door, intent on returning to her beauty sleep.But before she could retreat, the knocking resumed, more insistent than before. Seething,

"Someone reported illicit sexual activities occurring here.""Hey, you there. Let them know it was me who bought your services last night!" Jeanna declared, her face reddening with determination.In modern times, being seen as the buyer rather than the seller was far preferable."You hiring me? Ha! Officers, I'm the owner of this club and the rightful second heir of the Cheshire family. Do you really think a woman could hire me?"The officers exchanged puzzled looks, realizing they were confronting Sean, the infamous second Cheshire heir."So, obviously, I was the one who hired her.""Absolutely not! It was me who paid you!"Jeanna's anger boiled over, her words laced with fury, but she was cut short by a police officer's command, "Take them both away!"In the eyes of the law, the distinction between buyer and seller was irrelevant, as the consequences remained the same.Pushed into the police car, Sean glanced at his robe-clad self, and his expression turned grim. Being led a

Cedric was about to head out when the melodious ringtone of his phone interrupted him. Recognizing the caller ID, he felt a slight ease in his irritation as he answered."Bro..." Sean's pitiful voice echoed.Massaging his temple, still throbbing from last night's drinks, Cedric said curtly, "Get to the point.""Could you come and bail me out of the police station?""I'm not your guardian." Cedric smirked as he continued. "Or maybe I should call your father to pick you up?""Please, bro, don't do that. It'd be like sending me to my death. Please come and get me. I promise I'll take care of yesterday's tab, and I won't trick you again. Anything you say, dear Cedric.""Stop being disgusting. I'll be there soon." Unable to stand Sean's overly nauseating tone, Cedric hung up and addressed the awaiting waiter, "The car keys, please."-Meanwhile, Sophie sluggishly awoke to the persistent ringing of her phone at the Bohemian Apartment. Feeling sticky and sore, she groped for the devic

The police officer courteously accepted the signed release form, smiling as he bid farewell to the two men they could not afford to offend. They would not have gone through such extensive procedures if it were not for the recent mandate to crack down on illegal activities."Hmm." Cedric raised an eyebrow at Sean, who seemed reluctant to leave after being locked up for a day. His lips curled playfully. "If you're itching to go back in, I can arrange that for you right now.""Actually, I was thinking, maybe that woman should stay locked up a bit longer, say, half a year?""Sure, let her stay, and you can join her in the adjacent cell."Dismissing the conversation, Cedric headed for his parked Rolls-Royce.Sean, still brooding, hurried after him."She sure got off easy. Hey, bro, slow down. Wait for me." Sean nudged Cedric as they approached the car. "Look, isn't that Ms. Luxford from last night?"Cedric glanced up, spotting Sophie hastily exiting her car to enter the police statio
