In The Heart Of Cedric’s Affection Chapter 517
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

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
