Cedric chuckled.

Why are you calling! Is there something wrong Yes Stenna hesitated, unsure of how to continue Cedrics tone shifted, sensing her hesitation .

Did Josiah do something to your No Sienna closed her eyes and took a deep breath, You and Reyna .

Are you still together? Deep down, she hoped they had broken up, and that would be the end of it Cedrics s answer was straightforward.

Yeah, we are.

He sounded confined.

But why do you want to know, Stenna ! Sienna opened her mouth, hesitated for a long time, and then blurted out, Cedric, you and Reyna cant keep this going Why not? Cedric asked, taken aback.

Sienna wasnt the type to meddle in others affairs .

He wondered, Do you know something I dont ? Yeah Since she had already started, there was no turning back She had no idea how serious Cedric and Reynas relationship had becor how much he really liked her.

But Reyna wasnt good enough for him Sometimes it was better to cut ties than to drag out the suffering.

She said.

Cedric .

When you see it, youll understand.

Okay, Cedric replied, puzzled.

The call ended, and he immediately received a Whatnotification.

He opened it and saw the photo that Sienna had just taken.

Reyna was hugging Jamie with her arms around his neck, standing on tiptoe to kiss him.

Cedric sneered; he figured out what was going on It was only afternoon, but Cedric was already in no mood to work.

He gave his assistant a few quick instructions, then headed out of the office, and drove hThe Brawne family was bustling with activity as they prepared to welcthe Fischer family for dinner.

This was their first thosting them, and Xenia was taking it very seriously.

Evan returned hfor a bit to make a copy of sdocuments in the study.

As he went downstairs, he could hear his wifes voice booming.

Hows the stew coming along? And why hasnt the carpet been changed yet? Didnt I tell you to switch it to the beige one, Hilda ? Xenia turned around and saw her husband.

Evan smiled reassuringly and said, No need to be so nervous.

Its just a casual dinner How can I not be nervous ? Xenia laughed, her exhaustion masked by the joy in her eyes Think about all the girls weve introduced to Cedric recently.

Its not easy to find someone hes willing to get to know better ....

True Evan nodded with a smile.

He couldnt bring himself to mention that Reyna bore a slight resemblance to Sienna, which was probably why has son was willing to give her a chance.

Its all good now.

Xenia was quite satisfied with Reynas family background.

I just hope they hit it off and get married in a year or two Yeah Evan kept nodding and smiling You ! Xenia shot a glare at her husband.

All you ever say is yeah : Dont you have anything else to add ? 1 would ve happened to our son If I had left in all to you, I cant imagine what She went on.

Thank goodness I took smeasures.

Otherwise, Cedric would have been messed up by Sienna ..

A faint anger shadowed his usually calm face.

Mom, what did you do back then? Son... Xenia felt a knot in her stomach .

She quickly grasped Cedrics arm.

Letexplain .

Okay Codric replied, his gaze fixed on her.

Timm listening Cedric ... Xenias voice trembled with anxiety.

What could she say ! She never imagined that past decisions would resurface because of her momentary pride Say something.

Are you going to stay silent? Cedric pursed his lip, struggling to hold back his anger.

What exactly did you do to Sienna ? He had always thought he and Sienna had broken up because of Josiahs interference.

Could it be.

Cedrics eyes gradually darkened.

Did Sienna and I break up not because of Josiah Cedne Xenia was at a loss for words; the truth was far messier than he could imagine.

What happened ! Tell.

Cedric demanded, remembering how Sienna had cried.

His heart ached all over again Thinking back to that day when he flew from Lockage to Flirty, he remembered Siennas joy at seeing him.

It felt like she was about to agree to be with him.

But then, she changed.

Something was off.

Could it be that... he murmured.

Xenia didnt say anything, and Cedric began to guess.

Sienna didnt want to, and you and Josiah worked together to force her or set her up If that was the case, he had been a real jerk.

Xenia shook her head vigorously.

No, I didnt collude with Mr.

Flynn, I found someone him from Flic Flirty, but I dont know why Sienna ended up with Humph She still didnt grasp her mistake and sheered, If you ask me, shes just shameless, juggling you and Josiah at the st...

I just asked that person to frighten her ....

Enough, Cedric said, utterly disappointed, his eyes bloodshot.

Mom, do you love? Cedric ..

Xenias heart skipped a beat.

Of course, I do- No.

Cedric shook his head with a sardonic smile.

You destroyed my love with your own hands, Cant you see? Sienna is the first person have ever loved in my twenty five years Xenias heart sank. She was shocked and angry, unable to accept such an accusation.

I only did it for your own good.

A woman like Sienna isnt worthy of you Cedric was taken aback for a moment and then suddenly burst into laughter.

He couldnt stop for a while.

Xenia and Evan exchanged worried glances, Cedric ... they called .

Cedric stopped laughing and raised his eyebrows with a sarcastic look.

So, Sienna isnt good enough for me, and instead, you chose someone like Reynal i .
