บททั้งหมดของ In The Heart Of Cedric’s Affection: บทที่ 31 - บทที่ 40

When they passed the children's shooting kiosk, Sophie was drawn to a small wooden carving displayed in the prize area. It was the first time she had seen a wedding-themed wooden carving of a man and woman.There was another reason, too. The carving made her feel as if she were reliving her own wedding with Cedric more than three years ago.He had given her the loving gaze, the kiss, the diamond ring, and the consummation of their marriage on the wedding night that she had always anticipated. However, he had not given her the true love she had been expecting for a long time."Do you want that wooden carving?" Austin's gaze was gentle, and he had a unique soldier's insight.Before Sophie could respond to his question, he had already picked up the small air rifle beside him. "Hey, sir, give me 30 bullets.""Sir, you have to pay for the bullets," the kiosk owner pointed to a sign in the corner.Countless people came to challenge every day, most leaving without any prizes, so the own

Ricky obviously sensed that something was awry. Looking up, he clasped his tiny hands onto Vivienne's finger and asked, "Mommy, who is this lady?""She's someone Daddy doesn't want to spend any money on." Before Vivienne could respond, Cedric had already supplied the answer, a cold and sarcastic gaze accompanying it.He then extracted a thick wad of bills from his wallet, tossed it into the owner's arms, and sneered wickedly as he glanced at the wooden carving and the large teddy bear that Ricky had taken a liking to. "Is this enough to purchase that teddy bear and that wood carving?""Of course! It's more than enough!" The owner's excited face blossomed with a wide grin as he promptly handed over the two items. This transaction was even more profitable than flipping houses.Cedric toyed with the delicate wooden carving in his hand, and then, with a flick of his wrist, an oak-colored object could be seen traveling into the distance.The wooden sculpture plummeted to the ground and

On the side of the street, Sophie sat in the jeep for hours. She had been helped into the car after leaving the amusement park and hadn't shed a single tear since. She remained silent, maintaining the exact same posture as she stared fixedly out the window, which only made people feel more sorry for her.Austin sat next to her, feeling the pain but unable to comfort her.Sometimes, the quieter one became, the more the heart hurt, and when the pain had reached its peak, the last thing one would want to hear was comfort.Before it got dark, numerous people started leaving the amusement park.Austin rolled down the car window and glanced up at the sky, only then realizing that the weather had changed. The once fine weather had suddenly turned overcast as if spring rain was imminent.The cold wind suddenly rushed in, causing Sophie to shiver. Her eyes, which had remained motionless for a long time, finally shifted. "I'm sorry. Can you please take me back?"She was in so much pain tha

A bitter smile played at the corners of Sophie's lips. 'It seems that if I'm not going to be bitten to death today. I'll be struck to death by lightning…'Cedric's actions came to a halt as he observed her trembling. He frowned, grabbed her arm, strode forward, and swiftly dragged Sophie to the parked car nearby.Despite the air conditioner being off, the temperature inside the car was noticeably warmer than outside. Sophie's head felt groggy, and her entire body had weakened to the point where she could no longer struggle.Cedric's fury lasted for nearly an hour before subsiding. Seeing Sophie lying flat in the seat as if she was asleep, he felt agitated for no reason. "Don't think that I'll let you off just because you've fainted."With a forceful push from Cedric on her shoulder, Sophie's head slammed heavily against the door frame, emitting a muffled thud.Cedric was stunned for a moment. His hand immediately moved to her smooth and moist forehead. His expression changed insta

The woman who eagerly sought to cuckold him should face severe consequences. Moreover, it was just a fever, so why was he so troubled, even anxious about it?"You can't conceal it any longer, can you? Let me ask you this: after being married to Sophie for three years, do you like or love her?" Sean asked."Huh?" Cedric was slightly puzzled upon hearing the question.However, after a moment of bewilderment, Cedric's expression dimmed. 'Has he lost his mind? Did he just imply that I've fallen for Sophie?'"I knew you'd make this face. How could you live with her for three years if you didn't like her? Don't tell me it was because of your grandfather's pressure. No matter how powerful he is, he'll never be able to force you to live with her," Sean analyzed.They were of the same kind. Living with a woman whom they did not love was impossible—enduring such a life for three months, let alone three years, was out of the question.Cedric pursed his lips tightly as the image of Sophie's
