In The Heart Of Cedric’s Affection Chapter 392
"What?! Your father's awake? Really? Cedric has woken up? That's great!" Vivienne's expression froze for a moment before a look of ecstatic joy spread across her face.However, this only intensified Tristan's despair. When he had been comatose and nearly died previously, his mother hadn't shown this level of happiness upon his awakening.Lost in her ecstasy, Vivienne failed to notice Tristan's changing expression. She removed the needle from the back of her hand and struggled to rise from the bed. "I need to see Cedric. I'm the only one who should be with him.""Mom, that's enough!" Tristan's slender frame blocked her path, his usually composed face now tinged with anger."Have you not done enough? Haven't you lost enough? Why are you still this stubborn? Mom, I'll wait for you to get out of prison. Then we can leave this place and start a new life, okay?" His once innocent eyes were filled with sadness. He looked up and pleaded, "I don't want a father anymore. I just want my mothe

"No, it's not like that. You did love me. We were together in college! I know I made mistakes, but everything I did was to stay by your side!" Vivienne was on the verge of bursting into tears.Cedric's furrowed brows tightened as the most childish mistake of his life was brought up. "If you think I truly loved you because of that, I apologize. But I didn't date you out of love—it was just to provoke Sophie. I didn't want to admit that I had fallen in love with her first, nor did I want to accept Grandpa's arrangement. I also didn't want her to be with me just because it was expected of her."He just had not anticipated that one youthful mistake would lead to the current situation, and even nearly cause the death of the person he deeply loved."You're lying! You're lying!" Despite having received the same answer before, Vivienne still could not accept it. She shook her head vigorously, eventually slumping to the floor.Deep down, however, she knew more than anyone else that this man

Tristan's small face bore an unusually calm expression, so serene that the subsequent sound of his voice felt unnervingly tranquil. "Mom, I preferred being Ricky over being Tristan. I was so happy as Ricky, but as Tristan, I just feel sadness."Vivienne appeared as though she had been hit with a sudden shock, her anger and frenzy quenched as if by a deluge of icy water. Her eyes reddened instantly. "It's Mommy's fault. Mommy has faced hardships in life, and I don't want you to experience the same. I may have used you, but I truly love you."How could she not love the child she had carried to full term, enduring all the struggles of pregnancy and childbirth?"I know, so please don't do anything bad again." Tristan's tears streaked down his calm yet tense face.The guard, who had gotten his wound treated, stood behind him, watching Vivienne, who had hurt him. He gnashed his teeth hatefully but could only act professionally, "Vivienne Kerrigan, please return to your ward immediately."

Vivienne withdrew her gaze and turned to Cedric. "Cedric, I know you hate me, but for the sake of my sincere love for you, can you take good care of Tristan for me? Consider it my birthday present for him this year.""I don't want a birthday present! I only want you to be with me!" Tristan's tiny hands trembled incessantly at his sides, yet he dared not step forward, resigned to endure in fear.Vivienne's tears flowed uncontrollably. "Mommy doesn't deserve to be with you anymore. Ricky, I'm sorry. Sophie, though you're the person I've hated most, today I ask you for a favor. Please, take care of Ricky for me. Can you promise?"All the anger and hatred within Sophie suddenly dissipated, replaced by tears in her eyes. After a prolonged silence, she met Vivienne's hopeful gaze and replied, "To me, he's always been an innocent and pitiable child.""Thank you," Vivienne whispered, a smile playing on her lips as the wind rustled around her, growing louder and brisker. The madness in her

Five days later.The sky was gloomy, and the cold wind blew repeatedly, but it could not disperse the large dark clouds looming overhead.Evander supported Cedric, dressed in a black suit with a small white flower pinned to his blazer.Tristan was also dressed in black, his slender body standing straight as he calmly gazed at the photo on the tombstone, not shedding a single tear.His mother had left him with a birthday he would never forget: Making him an abandoned child."Mr. Carlson, we can leave now," Evander said with a sigh.Even though Vivienne had brought it upon herself, her sudden absence still brought a sense of sorrow.Cedric nodded, turned to look at Tristan, reached out, and took his tiny hand. "Let's go home already.""Home?" Tristan looked a little confused."Yes, home. From now on, wherever I am, it'll be your home too," Cedric reassured.After five years of being father and son, even though they were not biologically related, they had formed a bond. Moreover

Jeff frowned as he noticed her targeting Sophie again. "What's wrong with Mrs. Carrie cooking for Soph at her place? If Cedric wants to eat her cooking, he can go over at any time. It's not like he doesn't have legs."Melissa wanted to retort but was stopped by Matthew who grabbed her arm. "Father is right. If Cedric wants to eat what Mrs. Carrie cooks, he can always go over.""How's that the same!?" Melissa stomped on his foot in frustration.'Damn it! Could he also want Sophie to return to this family?'"Tristan must be hungry. Let's eat," Matthew intervened, excusing himself and heading to the dining room first.On one side was his biological father, and on the other side was his wife. He did not want to offend either of them.After dinner, Matthew took Tristan to see his newly decorated bedroom.Cedric wanted to follow them to take a look but was stopped by Jeff."Cedric, come to the study with me," Jeff said.Cedric followed him into the study, and Jeff closed the door be

The news of Vivienne's suicide went from dominating headlines to gradually losing its heat in just under two weeks. She was already gone, and people could not be bothered to waste their time and energy talking about a dead person endlessly.Sophie lowered her gaze to the business report in her hands, everything seemingly back to normal.However, it made Jeanna frown involuntarily. Even though Vivienne was dead, the aftermath lingered. Witnessing someone die in front of her was a dreadful experience, worse than being plotted against, and she knew it too well.Jeanna tried to bring up a different subject. "Linda, it's been a while since the company had a team-building event. As the CEO's secretary, you can't neglect the welfare of the company's employees just to please the CEO."Linda caught her gaze and turned to Sophie. "Ms. Luxford, we actually had planned a team-building event for the employees at the end of last month, but..."With Cedric and Sophie involved in the previous inc

Cedric's tall figure blocked the light of the downlight and cast a looming shadow over her, giving her the feeling of nowhere to escape.Seeing Cedric's arrival, Sean grinned and suggested, "Jean, baby, let's go dancing."As he spoke, he pulled Jeanna away from Sophie's side, not forgetting to wink at Cedric.As the vacated space next to her slightly sank under the weight, Sophie lifted her head, meeting Cedric's clear gaze with her sober eyes. "Why are you here?"Although she asked, deep down, she knew that it must be Sean who informed Cedric about their team-building event.Cedric did not answer her question. Instead, he reached out for her glass, set it aside, and stared into her evasive eyes. "Vivienne's death was my fault, and it has nothing to do with you. You don't have to think about anything."Not expecting him to be so direct, Sophie averted his gaze. 'How could I not think about it? I witnessed Vivienne's suicide process firsthand. I can't simply pretend that nothing h
