Caught In His Embrace A Second Chance Romance
Chapter 117 At Mousea House, when Cedric arrived, only Yosef and Thomas were there..
âWhatâs going on?â Yosef waved for Cedric to sit down.
Thomas put down the cup he was holding. âYosef said you were looking for me. Whatâs up? If I can help. Iâll do what I can.â
âThanks, Thomas. Time was running out, and thinking of Siennis exhausted and dispirited face, Cedric didnât waste any time.
He got straight to the point. âTll be blunt. Hereâs the situation...
After hearing Cedricâs words, Thomasâexpression was hard to real. This is what happened?â
It was hard to believe. Back then, Josiah had worked so hard to gull Sienna out of a place like Maze and get her into Brendaâs dance studio. And now, before she could even make a name for herself, she was getting kicked out.
âThomas,â Cedric said urgently. âIsnât Mrs. Zimmerman close with Ms. Scott? Do you think she can help out?â
âWell...â Thomas hesitated. It was a tricky situation because Josiah had already used that connection once.
But it was hard to refuse, so Thomas nodded. âAlright, Iâll talk to my mom and see what she says.â
Thank you. Thomas, Cedric said.
âHey,â Thomas waved him off. âDonât thank me just yet. This might not even work out.â
Thomas had heard his mother say that Brenda was very strict, and the only reason she took Sienna in was because of her skill. But now, it was about the dance studioâs regulations. It was going to be tough.
Hearing this, Cedricâs heart sank, but he still held onto a glimmer of hope. âNo matter what happens, I appreciate you trying. Thomas.
âAlright.â Thomas stood up. âIâll call my mom now.â
Thanks, Thomas Cedric smiled.
The phone call didnât take long. In a few moments, Thomas returned, holding his phone.
âI talked to her. Now we just have to wait for my momâs response, said Thomas.
âOkayâ Cedric nodded with a furrowed brow, stood up, and glanced at Yosef. âWell, Yosef, I should be going.â
âHuh?â Yosef blocked his way.
Where are you are you going? You came all the way here. Why not stay and have a meal with us?â
âNo, itâs okay.â Cedric gave a sheepish smile. âSiennaâs in a bad mood about this. She probably hasnât eaten.
Cedric needed to go check on her, try to get her to eat something, and reassure her Cedric nodded at Thomas. âThomas, thank you. Iâm going now âHey,â Yosef sighed deeply. âHe really has fallen for Sienna.â
âItâs normal. I get it.â Thomas wasnât surprised. âDonât you think Siennaâs changed a lot?â
She really had. Yosef nodded slightly. âYeah, sheâs grown up.â
20:49 Mon, Jan Chapter 117 She wasnât the same loud, dramatic girl she used to be. Now, she was calm, composed, and carried a quiet strength. And with her stunning looks, she had completely transformed No wonder even Josiah had started taking an interest in her. But the question remained. Was this a blessing or a curse for Just then, the door to the private room was suddenly pushed open, and Josiah walked in. Heâd been delayed a little by traffic.
When they saw him, both Yosef and Thomas exchanged knowing glances and flashed inscrutable smiles.
âWhatâs going on?â Josiah leaned back on the couch and rolled his eyes. âAre you sick or something?â
Thomas joked. âSomething to do with Siemaâs illness.
Yosef added. âJealousy syndrome.â
They exchanged looks. âModern medicine? Traditional medicine?â
Josiah was stunned for a moment.
âEnough with the jokes.â Thomas straightened up. âCedric came to see me just now.â
As a friend. it was important to keep Josiah in the loop about what was going on with Sienna. After explaining, Thomas asked Josiah, âWhat are you planning to do?â
After a brief pause, Josiah scoffed. âWhy should I care? Isnât Cedric already working on it?â
He was her exâhusband. He should know his place.
âHey.â Thomas sighed and said honestly, âEven if my mom steps in, I donât think thereâs much hope Cedric returned to 12th Avenue. âSienna...â
The door opened, and Sienna was surprised to see him back again.
âDonât be upset.â Cedricâs handsome features were bathed in the soft glow of the orange hallway light. Tm working on finding a way for you.â
He briefly explained the connection between Thomasâs mother and Brenda. âMaybe, itâs not completely hopelessâ
Sienna froze for a moment. He left for such a short time, and he was already trying to help her.
Regardless of whether it worked out or not, just the fact that he was putting in this much effort made her feel that, no matter how bad her mood, she couldnât keep pushing him away.
Sienna gave a faint smile. âHave you eaten?â
âHuh?â Cedric blinked, then shook his head. âNo, I havenât... I was about to ask you...â
âThen let me treat you to a meal. Wait a moment... Sienna turned around, grabbed her bag, and locked the door behind her. âBut I canât afford anything too fancy, so donât complain.â
âWhy would I?â Cedric smiled in return. âDo you think Iâm that kind of person?â
She knew he wasnât like that. If he were, she wouldnât have dared to invite him out. 12th Avenue was an old, compact part Jeiacrity. Although it wasnât fashionable, it still had its charm.
Sienna took Cedric to a restaurant. It was the fanciest place she had been since returning to Jeixerity, of 20:49 Mon, Jan 6 Chapter 117 Î Considering Cedricâs background, she didnât want to invite him somewhere too cheap The two of them found a secluded booth and ordered their food.
âI heard their food is especially good,â Sienna whispered, her lingers pressed to her lips. âIâm going to have more.
She made a small gesture with her fingers as if to emphasize her point. âNormally, I canât eat much. With dancing, I have to hold back.â
Especially recently, in preparation for her next performance, she had only been eating half a plate of food each day to stay in the best condition.
âToday, Iâm going to cat to my heartâs content,â She said with a list of childlike innocence.
Cedric couldnât help but laugh. âThe way youâre talking about it, how Iâm hungry.â
He took off his suit jacket and draped it over the back of the chair, revealing the shirt underneath. Siennaâs gaze paused for a moment, a smile tugging at the corners of her lips.
It was the shirt she made for him. She asked, âDoes it fit?â
âFits perfectly.â Cedric raised his arm. âYou didnât even take my measurements, yet it fits so well.â
âHey, basic skills.â Sienna smiled, her lips curving. âI learned from my grandmother. I canât say itâs perfect, but I can usually get it right.â
She added, âThough, the fabric isnât the best.â It was pure cotton, Cedricâs shirts were all pure wool.
âNo way.â Cedric didnât mind, brushing the sleeve. âItâs a very skinâfriendly fabric, and it feels really comfortable.â
Every stitch she sewed into it was made with care. No matter how highâend the fabric, it couldnât compare to the love and effort she put into it.
âIf you like it, then thatâs all that matters.â Sienna smiled, her eyes shining with happiness.
