Caught In His Embrace: A Second Chance Romance

Chapter 311 At Cozyroom , Sienna and Cedric sat facing each other .

Cedric picked up the menu , seeking her opinion , saying , How about these choices ? Sure , Sienna nodded .

Thats fine Alright then .

Cedric said , handing the menu to the waiter and picking up the water jug to pour Sienna a glass .

Seeing the calmness in his features , Sienna couldnt help but guess , Cedric , do you know something ? Given his sudden contact today .

Gedric was always measured .

Ever since she had been with Josiah , he had hardly initiated contact with her .

Yes Cedric said , putting down the water jug , his voice filled with a cheerful tone .

He couldnt hide his feelings , his carefree and sunny disposition shone through as he honestly said , I know that you and Josiah have broken up Sienna realized and she pursed her lips, took a couple of sips from her water glass , took out her phone from her pocket , opened a photo of Joyce, and placed it in front of him .

Take a look , she said .

What is this … Cedric questioned , picking up the phone and looking down .

In the photo , Joyce was held by Sienna .

Their faces pressed together .

their features strikingly similar , and even the curve of their smiles was the same .

hs my daughter , Sienna informed him before he could ask Her name is Joyce .

Shes three years old this year .

Cedric thought , Three years old Cedrics head snapped up , his eyes filled with shock and confusion .

He said .

So she is … she is … Thats right , Sienna nodded , understanding his thoughts , Shes Josiahs daughter .

I got pregnant the year I left Jescrity , Cedrics thin lips parted slightly , too shocked to speak .

But he had never heard of this .

Neither Josiah nor his cousin Yosef had ever mentioned it .

Cedric thought , This means Josiah has been in the dark as wellf You raised her ..

all by yourself ! Cedric said .

Yes , Sienna replied .

Compared to Cedrics shock and excitement .

Sienna , who had gone through it all , was quite calm .

She gave a faint smile , one of lurd earned composure and tranquility .

Josiah only found out recently , Sienna said .

On the way here , Sienna had already thought it through , and now , facing Cedric , she recounted the general story of everything that had happened .

Thats how it is Sienna concluded .

After listening , Cedric was silent for a long while .

They looked at each other without speaking , the air between them momentarily still .

Cedric Sienna was the first to speak , putting her phone back into her pocket , saying .

You should understand , were not a good match Sienna ! Suddenly , Cedric grasped the hand that was putting away the phone .

erc also He seemed to have realized something , with regret and heanache .

He said , Back in Flirty when you said , lets talk after Ive rested .

You were referring to Joyces situation , right ? Yes , Sienna nodded .

At that time , that was indeed her plan .

Back then , Joyce had been waiting for a surgery opponunity .

Back then , she didnt know it would all be in ட Sienna Cedric lightened his grip on her hand .

He couldnt help but lower his head , his eyes reddening and slightly moist .

Sienna understood that what he was holding onto was , in fact , his own heart .

You should have told me Cedric said as if something was stuck in his throat It would have been so much better if you had told me earlier , he added He wouldnt have cared .

Not only would he not have minded , but he would have been even more heartbroken for her .

He had no old fashioned prejudices .

He liked Sienna and would naturally accept Joyce as well .

Sienna was silent .

She knew this and she had guessed it .

Otherwise , she wouldnt have had those thoughts back then .

But there was no need to say such things now , Chapter 311 Sienna pulled her hand free from his grasp and said .

Its all in the past .

Theres no need to bring up old matters .

Its meaningless .

How could it be meaningless ? Cedric looked at her slightly lowered eyelids , a fire burning in his chest as he said , It means something now .

You and Josiah have broken up .

Youre single , and I can purvie you .

Upon hearing this .

Siennas heart skipped a beat , with surprise and a hint of touch , but there was no fluttering or joy .

Sienna .

Cedric was somewhat eager , saying .

You would have considered accepting me back then , and its the same now Its not the same , Sienna denied without a moments hesitation , looking into Cedrics sincere eyes .

Back then , there was hope for Joyces cure , but now..she vid She gently said , If Joyces condition doesnt improve , Im afraid I might still need to have a child Whoosh , Cedrics face turned pale .

He understood what she meant .

To have a child , naturally , it would be with Josiah But , but … Cedrics eyes flickered , his eyelashes trembling slightly as he said , Even for Joyces sake , there are many other methods , like artificial … Yes , thats true , Sienna said .

She didnt deny it.

In fact , ever since she had confronted Josiah , she had the same thought .

But … Cedric , even so , I cant accept you .

Sienna said .

Sienna thought .

If it really comes to that , I and Josiah have two children , yet Im with Cedric ? Im already a woman with a history , while Cedric is still a blank canvas .

She wondered .

How can I ? That would require a lot of courage , and at least , she couldnt do it .

I dont care ! Cedric understood her meaning and was eager to express himself , saying , Life is short , I just want to spend it with the person I like ! But I do care , Sienna looked at him and said , her eyes slightly moist .

It was heartache , for his sincerity .

We cant be , and thats why Im here today , to make these things clear to you , Sienna said .

But , but Cedric was unwilling to give up so easily , saying , You and Josiah , you havent reached that point yet , right ? Cedric thought .

The future that hasnt happened yet .

Who knows what could change ? Sienna was taken aback , not expecting him to be so stubborn .

She sighed helplessly , Cedric , there are plenty of great girls out there .

Dont just focus on me .

look around Hmph , Cedric let out a low , bitter laugh , But theres only one you His eyes were filled with endless sorrow , Sienna looked at him , unsure of what else to say .

They fell silent as the waiter brought in their meal , and they quietly finished eating Exiting Cozyroom , they found tiny snowflakes that began to fall from the sky .

As Cedric went to fetch the car , Sienna looked around but didnt see Josiahs car .

She thought , He has left ? Sienna breathed a soft , shallow sigh of relief .

This was good .

Cedric pulled up in the car and drove her back to Sunshine Neighborhood .

The car stopped in front of the apartment building .

Before getting out , Sienna turned to Cedric and said solemnly , Lets say goodbye here .

Dont come looking for me again , and I wont seek you our either , Sienna thought , Seeing him again will only harm him ! Cedric , you must take care .noveldrama

Otherwise , I will always blame myself , Sienna said .

She regretted her initial greed and her foolish attempt to accept him .

Their relationship had come to a natural end , yet Cedric remained stuck in the same place .

Sienna Just as she was about to turn away , Cedric called out .

He looked at her almost greedily , as if trying to etch her into his memory .

I respect your wishes .

I wont bother you , I wont disturb you… Cedric sald
