In The Heart Of Cedric’s Affection Chapter 341
Sophie was lost in Austin's perpetually gentle gaze, speechless. Whenever she was hurt or in pain, he was the one who comforted her. However, his constant kindness now felt like a heavy burden on her heart.Noticing her silence, Austin offered support with a gentle touch and a reassuring smile."You should take it easy at home until your foot is better. Try not to walk too much," he advised.Sophie managed a faint smile, though sleep remained elusive.Sophie's intuition had always been keen. Upon leaving the hospital, she was immediately surrounded by a swarm of aggressive journalists, none from Paramount."Mrs. Carlson, Ms. Kerrigan is pregnant with Mr. Carlson's child. How do you plan to handle this?""Mrs. Carlson, do you hope that both the children lose their father and the warmth of a family?"Question after question was hurled at her, causing Sophie's brows to furrow. She wasn't accountable for Vivienne's condition, yet the journalists pursued her with clearly malicious in

As Evander drove, he frequently glanced at Cedric through the rearview mirror. He had been worried that Cedric might impulsively leap out of the car and confront Austin after his public declaration of love for Sophie. Fortunately, Cedric had managed to control himself at the last moment.Cedric was aware of Evander’s concerns. His stern expression gradually softened to its usual reserve. He had been tempted to intervene and reclaim Sophie but questioned what good it would do.Instead, Cedric knew he needed to provide Sophie with a stable future, not just grand declarations."Head back to the hospital," he commanded curtly."Right away," Evander replied, making a U-turn.When they returned to the hospital, Sophie and Austin had already left.Cedric stepped out of the car and entered the building.-Vivienne was in a ward, watching the unfolding drama on TV with glee. She caressed her belly and smiled, only to be overcome by sudden nausea and vomit next to the bed.Cedric walked

Vivienne was stunned by Cedric's blunt and ruthless reply. Recoiling in shock, she exclaimed, "Everyone knows I'm carrying your child. If something were to happen to me, the gossip alone would prevent you and Sophie from ever being together again in this lifetime.""You might even jog Sophie's memory about how you once considered aborting her own child!"Cedric lashed out, grabbing her throat as his voice echoed menacingly. "Are you reminding me of what you did behind my back all those years?"Had it not been for Vivienne's schemes, his relationship with Sophie might not have suffered so much. While he despised her enough to consider murder, he despised himself more for ever doubting Sophie.Reflecting on this, he looked at Vivienne, who was nearly suffocating, her face turning purple. Slowly, his grip on her neck loosened, and even his fierce expression softened into a smirk. "If you want this child so much, I'll grant you that wish."Air rushed back into Vivienne's lungs, caus

"I bet you secretly enjoy her scolding," Cedric said casually as he pulled up a chair in the bustling club, clearly annoyed by the loud music. "Why are you just standing there? Aren't you interested in making a sale today?""Absolutely!" Sean signaled to a waiter in a way that blatantly suggested 'overcharge him'. Soon, they were presented with a bottle of wine so expensive it was out of reach for most."Here, let me pour you a drink. You’re on the verge of becoming a father again, so we should celebrate. Just the thought of you holding one child, guiding another by the hand, and balancing another on your shoulders fills me with envy. Why don’t I receive such blessings?"Cedric instantly kicked out at Sean's leg in a swift motion, narrowly missing him."Cut it out. It’s because of you I get scolded every day, and now I get kicked while congratulating you? Don't you have a conscience?"Sean's attempt at humor failed to lift Cedric’s somber mood as he continued to drink heavily. E

Five years ago, Cedric had deeply wounded her. Just when he re-entered her life, seeking to make amends, he ended up causing her more pain.Sean and Cedric weren't on the same page."Hallucinogens? So, you thought she was Sophie and slept with her?" Sean exclaimed, now understanding how such a mistake could occur."If Sophie finds out you mistook Vivienne for her, she might be less angry... perhaps even reduce your punishment from enduring slow torture to facing a swift execution. However, regardless of the circumstances, Vivienne’s pregnancy signifies betrayal, whether or not you slept with her."For the first time, Cedric was at a loss for words."Wait, you said the drug had hallucinogenic properties. Do you think Vivienne had an accomplice?" Sean widened his eyes, knowing well how difficult it was to acquire such substances given her entertainment background.Sean had finally regained focus, so Cedric nodded seriously, pondering, 'Could it be him, Vivienne’s accomplice?'Now

Austin appeared suddenly beside her, his features etched with concern as he watched her shoulders tremble uncontrollably. He swiftly removed his thick coat and draped it over her. "Be careful, you might catch a cold.""Thank you," Sophie murmured, feeling a hint of warmth cut through the biting cold.She relaxed her clenched fists, wiped her tears, and attempted to force a smile, though it felt painfully stiff.As she rose to her feet, instinctively trying to mask her vulnerability, her sore ankle betrayed her and caused her to stumble toward the sea's edge.Austin caught her hand just in time. "Be careful."The waves roared like demons, yearning to pull her into their depths.Overwhelmed, Sophie avoided looking at the sea and awkwardly pulled her hand away from Austin, not wanting to dwell on his earlier confession."Sophie, you’re avoiding my gaze, why?" Austin's voice floated softly over the wind, increasing her discomfort.Sophie met his gaze, which shimmered softly in the

Sophie glanced at her swollen ankle, realizing she might need help getting home safely.Half an hour later, they arrived at her apartment building.Austin switched off the engine and hurried to open the door for her, but Sophie had already stepped out. The door closed with a soft click that seemed to freeze him in place."Thank you for speaking up for me in front of the media today, and for the ride home. I won't invite you up for a nightcap, though," she said.She climbed the stairs unsteadily while Austin stood frozen, his features sinking into the deepening twilight."Sophie, it’s your friendship that cuts me the deepest," Austin muttered.-At home, Mrs. Carrie and Cherry were shocked to see Sophie limping."Mommy, who did you fight with?" Cherry asked as she knelt to help Sophie out of her high heels, inwardly cursing a certain someone. Despite being only five, she was sharp and had understood from the TV news what might have caused her mom's injury.'Damn you Cedric, jus

The tension in the Carlson living room was palpable.Jeff sat rigidly on the sofa, his stern face framed by age-lined eyes filled with anger.Even Melissa, known for her quick temper, restrained herself from speaking out.Matthew frowned as he glanced at Cedric and Austin. The cousins used to get along well during childhood, but competition had crept in over the years, particularly concerning Sophie. This only added to the family strain.Jeff glared at them and snorted before speaking. "Now that you’ve grown up and become successful, you think you can do whatever you want, don’t you?"He had hoped to see Cedric and Sophie live happily together within his lifetime, and for Austin to let go of his obsessions and find his happiness. However, his hopes were dashed as their lives spiraled into chaos.When Mrs. Carrie reported that Sophie had not come home all night and then returned to the apartment with Cedric, Jeff had felt a spark of hope. He had assumed progress was being made, de
