Caught In His Embrace: A Second Chance Romance

Chapter 77 

The glow of the phone illuminated Cedric’s happy face , Cedric couldn’t contain his excitement and swallowed constantly as he quickly typed , m free Should I wait until you’re done ! 

Sienna replied swiftly .

[ Let’s meet at the first intersection at eleven o’clock [ 

Cedric was overjoyed and tested .

[ Okay ] 

Opposite him , Josiah picked up his glass and downed his whiskey in one go .

Leaning forward , he grabbed the bottle and refilled his glass 

Yosef glanced at Josiah and asked , “ Why are you drinking so hard ! Take it easy ” 

“ Nothing ” Josiah looked down , his handsome face calm .

“ Where to next ? How about finding a new place to continue ?” 

Everyone didn’t expect Josiah to say this , and both Yosef and Thomas agreed with him . 

“ Sure .

Thomas picked up his phone .

“ I’ll set it up then ” 

“ Fine , ” replied Josiah . 

“ Uh … ” Cedric raised his hand awkwardly and said , “ I can’t .

Have fun , you guys ? 

Yosef looked at Cedric with doubt and asked him , “ Why not ! ” 

Cedric answered , “ I have something to 

to do.

” 

Yosef warpuzzled and said .

“ Huh ? You said you had nothing going on tonight .” 

I … Cedric mumbled .

“ I have a dare .” 

As Cedric’s cousin , Yosef undoubtedly knew Cedric the best .

Wrapping Cedric by the neck with an arm , Yosef whispered , “A date : Judging by your expression , is it with a girl ? ” 

Cedric frozen and suddenly jumped up .

I’m running late , Yosef .

I have to go .

With that , Cedric hurried away . 

Yosef pointed at Cedric’s back , laughing .

“ He’s growing up , right ? ” 

With a loud bang .

Josiah slammed the cup onto the table and stood up abruptly , heading straight out without saying a word . 

“ Hey ! Where are you going ? ” asked Yosef . 

“ Home ,” said Josiah . 

“ What ? ” Yosef was stunned and said , “ Is he serious ? Didn’t he say to move to a new place ? ” 

Josiah rushed out and saw , by chance , at the intersection , Sienna getting into Cedric’s car and Cedric giving a smug . 

Josiah turned away , feeling bothered .

“ Zaid , go ? 

“ Got it ,” said Zaid . 

Josiah closed his eyes and leaned back .

He couldn’t care anymore .

He thought Grandma had blessed Sienna and Cedric , so there wasn’t anything 

more he could do . 

However , his face showed deep gloom .

Maybe he drank too much and felt stifled .

He took off his suit , yanking off his tie and tossing it aside . 

Even after loosening two buttons on his shirt , it wasn’t helping .

He was still extremely annoyed .

Josiah felt like he was going to explode and wanted 

to curse . 

Guided by Sienna , the car stopped at a bustling night market .

Sienna apologized , “ You’re here for the first time , right ? I’m sorry , but with income , this is the best I can afford .

” 

“ Why would you think that ? Cedric chuckled , shaking his head .

“ Even though I went abroad to study at a young age and haven’t been here , there are street stalls abroad as well , not just fancy places ” 

“ Lair .” Sienna laughed .

“ You won’t come to a place like this ”

Chapter 77 

Cedric was taken aback and then burst into laughter , “ You’re right ” 

“ Follow me ,” Sienna led Cedric into a pizza shop , ordering a pizza . 

Sienna wiped the table with a napkin .

The pizza here is delicious .

You can have a try .

” 

Cedric nodded and said .

“ Okay ” 

The pizza arrived .

Cedric tasted it and found it delicious .

“ Yummy , ” 

Sienna smiled , her eyes sparkling .

“ Thank you for your pumpkin soup , but , please , don’t buy it for me anymore .

” 

Hearing this , Cedric was taken aback , and his expression grew serious .

He was nervous and asked , “ Don’t you like it ? ” 

“Yes ,” said Sienna , 

Cedric was so shocked that he couldn’t speak .

He stared at her blankly , “ I’m sorry ” 

“ Don’t apologize ” Sienna sighed softly and said in a low voice .

The pumpkin soup is delicious , and I do like it .

But please , don’t send it again .

” 

Cedric nodded with sadness .

“ I see .

You just don’t like me .” 

Cedric wasn’t willing to accept it because he hadn’t even had a chance for her to get to know him .

“ Am I really that displeasing to you ? ” 

Sienna said calmly .

“ Don’t say that .

You’re great , and I’m sure you know it .

But we’re not suitable for each other , even if you just want to get me laid 

Cedric was stunned and thought , “ Get you laid ? Is that how you see me ? ‘ 

“ No.

” Cedric quickly shook his head and waved his hands , speaking urgently .

“ I never thought that .

I don’t just want to have a one – night stand with you Stenna , I really fall in love with you !” 

Sienna thought silently .

Well , it’s even worse : She sighed .

“ You should know that we’re not a good match . 

“ Why ?” To Cedric , Sienna was the first girl he ever liked .

On the stage of Maze , the moment he saw her , he couldn’t forget her . 

Cedric couldn’t give up before he started .

“ Are you concerned about your past marriage with Josiah ? ” 

Sienna furrowed her brows , not directly answering .

“ You should find a girl whose background is similar to yours .

” 

“ But I can’t control myself ” Cedric couldn’t accept what Sienna said .

“ Nobody will let a past marriage stop them together with each other .

” 

Sienna opened her mouth , momentarily at a loss for words .

She hadn’t expected Cedric , who was so gentle , to express his love so passionately .

But precisely because she was moved , she had to turn him down.

“ Please , forget me .

” 

“ Why ” Cedric asked , confused .

“ Even Miranda supports you in having a new life .

Why are you rejecting me ! ” 

Sienna couldn’t explain , so she only said , “ This is my privacy .

Sorry , I’m not planning to start a new relationship .

Please don’t come looking for me anymore .

Your novelty will wear off Very soon , you’ll forget about me 

She stood up .

“ I’ve already paid for this .

Thank you for the pumpkin soup .

Consider it my return gift , and let’s end it here ” 

With that , she grabbed her bag and walked away without daring to look back at Cedric , 

“ Sienna , Sienna ! ” Cedric got up to chase her , but the street was too crowded , and by the crowd . 

nd Sienna ran ahead without looking back .

Soon , they were separated 

Cedric was at a loss because he couldn’t find her .

He stood in the crowd , looking around , and murmured in disappointment , “ But what if I can’t forget you ? ”
