Caught In His Embrace A Second Chance Romance
Chapter 132 Cedric was in such a hurry that he put his phone away and immediately headed out the door. He had to see Sienna.
But as soon as he stepped outside, Xenia blocked his way.
âWhere do you think youâre going?â she asked.
âMom.â Cedric was already feeling overwhelmed. âIâm an adult now, I donât need to report every little thing to you, do I?â
Xenia sneered. âNot going to tell me? Then let me guess. Youâre in a rush to see that Sienna, right?â
Cedric paused for a moment. It wasnât surprising that his mother had figured it out, and he had no intention of hiding it. He simply admitted. âYes.â
Xenia let out a sharp laugh and pointed at him. âYou try stepping out that door. Go ahead, I dare you.â
âMom?â Cedric frowned, unable to understand. âIâm not a kid anymore. You canât restrict my freedom.â
âFreedom?â Xenia scoffed, her eyes narrowing. âYouâre feeling pretty bold, huh? Talking to me about freedom?â
She sized him up, her tone cutting. âWhat right do you have to talk about freedom? I raised you, I provided your education, and everything you have now the job at Brawne Group, the life you live itâs all because of this family.â
Cedricâs face paled slightly. âMom, what are you implying?â
am I Cedri He turned around âDonât He had never expected his mother to threaten him with something like this, but here she was, bringing it up herself.
Sienna.â Cedric clenched his jaw, letting out a long sigh. âIf you want to push me this far, then fine. Iâll leave right now.â
walked back toward his room. Xenia was stunned for a moment, then quickly followed, watching as he packed his things.
as simple as moving out,â she snapped, her voice filled with menace. âIâll freeze your cards too,â she added.
âMom?â Cedric began.
Thinking Cedric back down, Xenia smirked with a hint of satisfaction. âNow youâre scared? Thatâs more like it. For some woman...â
eâs voice cut through the tension. Though he was angry, he didnât want to say anything too harsh to his master.
But it didnât mean he wasnât furious. âMom, Sienna is someone I care about. Please respect her. You can do whatever you want, but Iâm standing by my choice.â
He believed that, even if he left the house, he wouldnât starve. As he spoke, he finished packing his suitcase, closed it, and picked it up to leave.
âWhatâs going on?â Evan arrived just in time to see the scene and hurried to stop Cedric. âWhere are you going? Canât we talk about this?â
âLet him go. Donât stop him.â Xenia shot Evan a glare and hissed, âCedricâs lost his mind. Heâs not thinking straight. Let him walk out and see how easy life is for him.â
âDad,â Cedric pulled away from his fatherâs grasp, frowning as he sighed. âIâm leaving. Take care of yourselves.â
With that, he rushed downstairs with his suitcase in hand.
âHey...â Evan began.
âCome back.â Xenia grabbed Evanâs arm, staring at Cedricâs retreating figure, feeling frustrated. âLet him go. He really thinks itâs going to be easy out there? Heâs never faced hardship a day in his life. Howâs he going to survive?â
Evan was surprised. âWell, if you say so.â
The next day, Josiah heard about Cedric being kicked out of the house. After all, his cousin Yosef was involved.
Thomas sighed. âThey really kicked him out?â
âYeah.â Yosef nodded. âAunt Xeniaâs serious about this. Sheâs told all the relatives and friends not to help him, or else theyâll be going against her.â
1/3 2:04 PM J Chapter 132 With that, no one would dare offer Cedric any support.
âWow.â Thomas clicked his tongue. âSheâs tough. Looks like your aunt has zero intention of accepting Sienna.â
As he spoke, his eyes subconsciously flicked toward Josiah.
âWhat are you staring at me for? Do you think I made things better for them?â Josiah shot a sharp look back at Thomas, pulled out a cigarette, lit it, and took a deep drag.
He had said from the start that Sienna and Cedric werenât a good match. She was a divorcee with no real family support, while Cedric came from a prestigious family. His family could never approve.
Only someone like Miranda could think it would work, completely out of touch with reality.
Thomas pulled his gaze away and asked Yosef, âSo whereâs Cedric now? Howâs he doing?â
âHeâs got staying with one of them,â Yosef replied, shaking his head. âBut from what he said, Siennaâs already cut him off. She blocked him.â
was taken aback at first. âSo, he didnât get anything out of it?â
âReally?â TL 251 Then, it made sense. âSiennaâs reaction isnât wrong. If sheâs dealing with him this way, sheâs showing some sense. If she kept chasing him after this, itâd be a bit much...â
âWhat do you mean a bit much?â Josiah, who had been silent up until now, suddenly spoke up, and his tone was frm with a rebuttal.
He took the cigarette he had been smoking and crushed it in the ashtray with a quick, decisive motion. âWas it Sienna chasing Cedric? Or was it Cedric willingly pursuing her?â
He had Siennaâs situation from the start. âIf he started this, then he needs to take responsibility for it.â
The room fell silent. Thomas and Yosef exchanged a glance, neither saying anything in response.
The next day looking away, Finally, his âSienna Lightning Dance. Josiah had been sitting in the Bentley for ten minutes already, staring at the entrance of the dance studio without afraid that he might miss Sienna with even the smallest blink.
yes moved, and he saw her.
got out of the car and quickly walked up to her.
Sienna looked at that th âYeah.â Josiah nodded in confusion, not understanding why he was here. âWhatâs going on?â
gesturing toward the car parked at the side. âGet in the car.â
âWhat for?â Sienna tightened her grip on the strap of her bag, hesitating to get in. âWe can talk here just as easily.â
âAm I some kind of monster? Why is she so wary of me?â he wondered. Josiah felt a pang in his chest. If he wasnât the one responsible for her being a divorcee, he honestly wouldnât care what happened to her.
h sighed, his voice uncomfortably stiff. âLook... Cedricâs doing okay for now, but when it comes to relationships, itâs a twoâway street. He canât the only one trying. You canât just sit back and do nothing.â
âWha Sienna was still confused, not quite following what he was saying.
âIâve heard all about completely?â
Sienna stiffened, â
âJosiah, the concerned exâhusband, spoke in a patient tone. âYou blocked Cedric. Is that your way of cutting him off did he know that? And why is he here? Is he trying to pressure me because I turned Cedric down?â she wondered.
âAre you stupid?â Josiah shot anned.
His words came out as harsh as ever. âCedric got kicked out of his house because of you. Heâs been persistent about this, but you? The moment things get tough, you give up. Is this how much you really like him?â
Sienna stood frozen.
âWhat are you still standing there for? Get in the car.â Josiah stared at her beautiful face, thinking to himself that he really was the best exâhusband in history.
âWhere are we going?â she asked.
2/3 2:04 PM Chapter 132 Iâm taking you to see Cedric Josiah said, irritated. âAre you asking me that? You should be going to comfort him right now. Youâll have him wrapped around your finger if you doâ
Men understood men. âA man never forgets the woman who stood by him when he was down. Trust me. Letâs go,â he said.
