"Sean, what have you done this time?" Jeanna asked, her tone sharp and suspicious.Sean cautiously stepped back to keep a safe distance and replied with a wry smile, "I... I just helped to pair up a prideful duo of the animal kingdom.""You jerk!" Jeanna was upset that her suspicions were confirmed.Cedric was a fire pit, and she would have accepted it if Sophie had willingly jumped in. But Sean had gone behind her back to give her a push!Seeing Jeanna holding back her anger, Sean grinned cheekily and leaned in again. "Jean, it wasn’t blind matchmaking. Sophie still has feelings for Cedric. The past is the past. Why not give them a chance to start over?"Happiness isn't guaranteed, but they might find it this time. Love doesn’t always bring happiness, but without love, there’s no happiness. Can you bear to see Sophie missing out on happiness forever?"He began playfully, but his tone grew serious, "True friends seize every opportunity to bring happiness to those they care about.

Cedric leaned casually against his car, his presence more magnetic than ever, starkly contrasting the man who once captivated countless admirers. His experiences over the years had lent him a deeper, more intriguing aura.Cedric was intently watching the building's exit, his patience resembling that of a predator in wait.As time passed, the crowd of employees thinned out, and Cedric glanced at his watch, estimating how much longer Sophie could resist.When Sophie finally appeared, he smiled faintly, betraying his anticipation.Sophie moved briskly toward the lot, bypassing Cedric, but he swiftly blocked her path."Let me drive you home.""There's no need, I have my own car," she said coolly, trying to sidestep him but stopping abruptly. Confused, she turned to him. "Where is my car?""One of your employees accidentally hit your car while reversing. I've sent it to the repair shop for repairs," Cedric explained nonchalantly.'My employee hit my car? And they didn't even have th

Cherry hesitated but stepped to the side with a slight motion, using her petite frame to subtly shield herself from Cedric while playfully chiding, "Mommy, the teacher said not to bring strangers home. You're being naughty."Cedric arched an eyebrow, amused and slightly taken aback by her words. 'A stranger, am I?'Mrs. Carrie chuckled to herself and resumed cooking, sensing Cherry's playful challenge to Cedric.Sophie felt awkward and unsure how to explain Cedric’s presence without admitting he had invited himself. Her gaze landed on the half-eaten cherry cake on the coffee table. She tapped Cherry lightly on the forehead before turning to Mrs. Carrie in the kitchen. "Mrs. Carrie, did Cherry trick you into buying her cake again?"Turning off the faucet, Mrs. Carrie asked in surprise, "Isn’t this cake the one you ordered for delivery?""Me?" Sophie was bewildered, her mind elsewhere today."Not Mommy? Then perhaps Godmother Jean bought it? We should ask her where she got it; it’s

"I've asked Dr. Zegler regarding Tristan's condition. Tristan will be discharged in another two or three days. Once he's discharged from the hospital, I'll have someone send Vivienne abroad and keep an eye on her." Cedric explained his plan.In this way, Tristan would no longer be hurt again under the guise of love, and Sophie would not have to worry anymore."That's one solution. On the one hand, you have a son who emerged out of nowhere and had been neglected for three years. On the other hand, you have a woman you love but deep misunderstandings exist between you two. Brother, you're in quite a tough spot." Sean sighed, refilled Cedric's wine glass, and clinked their wine glasses together.The media, never content with the truth, had managed to portray a conflicted yet principled man as a despicable and indecisive scumbag. What was worse, every time they wrote about Cedric, they would drag him into it too, tarnishing his sexual orientation along the way.'Damn it!' Cedric frowne

"You still smell the same. Vivienne, do you know how much I longed for you during those six years in prison? Every time I thought of you, I wondered what new things I could do to satisfy you even more."Accompanied by a lewd chuckle, the hand pinching her chin suddenly moved downward, slipping over her collarbone and into her clothes.Vivienne struggled desperately, but her limbs were bound, and she could not break free."I just love a woman who knows how to have fun like you. Let's see what I've brought you." William giggled as he pulled out a long whip from the drawer.The whip's appearance caused Vivienne's face to pale. "Please, no! I beg you, don't do this!"The fear deep within her soul made her burst into tears.In the past, when she was known as Cedric's girlfriend, other women envied and admired her. However, behind closed doors, Cedric remained indifferent, his thoughts inscrutable.William's arrival had prompted her hesitation, ultimately leading her to accept the Car
