In The Heart Of Cedric’s Affection Chapter 396
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

The Bentley swiftly arrived at the school.As soon as they got out of the car, Sophie saw Mrs. Carrie's car, which she used to pick up Cherry, parked near the entrance. Cherry had also noticed her and ran toward her with her arms outstretched.Cherry's head nestled in her arms, but quickly lifted up, her eyes flickering with worry and urgency. "Mommy, they said Tristan is missing. I want to help find him.""Okay, let's search together." Sophie felt relieved seeing that Cherry had not distanced herself from Tristan because of Vivienne's incident but still cared about him. She reached out and rubbed the top of her head before turning to the nervous teacher nearby. "Miss, where have you searched?""Mr. Carlson, Mrs. Carlson, as soon as we got the news, we searched the classrooms and playground, but there was no sign of Tristan. Our school covers a large area, so there are still many places we haven't checked," the teacher replied."No matter how large the area is, Tristan must be fou

"Tristan? I think I spotted him during the last break," the little girl said, tilting her head as she pondered. Confirming her memory, she added, "Yes, it was during the last class break."Sophie's eyes brightened. "Which direction did he go?""I don’t know. Actually, I saw him standing still, not walking. So I don’t know where he was heading," she replied earnestly, demonstrating her commitment to accuracy. If Tristan was not moving, how could she know in which direction he would go?Thankfully, Sophie was a mother and was not frustrated by the girl's literal thinking. She patiently asked, "Can you tell me where you last saw him standing?""Over by the big oak tree," the girl said while pointing.Grateful, Sophie smiled and quickly headed to the indicated spot.The area was quiet, surrounded by grass and trees, with a single path cutting through. She felt a surge of hope. 'Tristan must have gone in this direction.'-Meanwhile, Cherry wandered along the path to the cafeteria

Tristan paused, wiping his tears as he gazed at Cherry. Silence filled the air as he contemplated her promise.After watching him for a while, Cherry felt uneasy. Thinking that he did not believe what she said, she quickly reinforced her words. "I mean it, Tristan. I promise I'll always be with you and never let you be all alone."But even with such a declaration, Tristan remained silent, which made her anxious. "Don't you believe me? I'm serious—""I believe you, Cherry. And you should always remember what you just said." Tristan suddenly cut her off, his tear-stained face much calmer as he quietly watched her under the setting sun.His slightly blue eyes held a deep gaze, as he thought, 'She said she would always be with me. Forever!'Three years younger and blissfully naive, Cherry thought he believed her words and felt relieved. She boldly wrapped her arms around Tristan, her laugh even heartier than before. "Don’t worry, I'll always be with you."Tristan managed a smile as h

Mother and daughter walked ahead without looking back, leaving Cedric to gaze after them with a quiet longing. Although he was willing to give her time, he could not help but wish he could be walking by their side.Beside him, Tristan watched Cherry’s lively steps and finally smiled, a rare softening of his usual serious expression.'Cherry, because of you, I am no longer alone.'-Months after the scandal that had gripped public attention had faded, few remembered the turmoil surrounding Vivienne’s death.People's memories tended to be short-lived when events didn't directly affect them. Three months had passed, and hardly anyone mentioned Vivienne’s death anymore—it was as if the sea had finally calmed after a storm.-In the Luxford Group’s boardroom, tension filled the air as the discussion turned to Paramount’s latest talent acquisition."I think we should pass on signing Charlie," argued Leonard Dawson. "Nowadays, celebrities leverage their fleeting fame for exorbitant fe
