Caught In His Embrace: A Second Chance Romance

Chapter 106

Because Cedric refused to go to the hospital, Sienna had no choice but to buy some medicine from the pharmacy and handle it herself.

“Are you sure you’re okay?” Sienna asked, still worried. “If you’ve hurt an internal organ, that’s no joke.”

“I’m fine.” Cedric chuckled, his lips still covered with a band–aid, making him look a little silly.

He seemed a bit embarrassed. “You didn’t think I was useless for not hitting Josiah, did you?”

Sienna was caught off guard, then couldn’t help but laugh. “What are you talking about? Is hitting someone supposed to be some kind of special skill?”

‘Guess not, he wondered. Cedric pressed his lips together, hiding his smile. “I was just asking. Don’t take it seriously.”

But Sienna couldn’t help but sigh, feeling both lost and uneasy. I’ve said so much… Cedric, L…

“I know” Before she could finish, Cedric quickly took over her sentence.

I know you don’t really like me, and I didn’t take it seriously,” he said, looking at her with clear, sincere eyes.

He added, “I also want to apologize for acting without your permission. I didn’t mean to upset you.”

“How could I be mad?? she thought. I’m not the kind of person who can’t tell right from wrong. There’s no way I’d accept his help and then turn around to blame him.

Sienna shook her head, smiling. “I’m not angry, I just…” She wasnt sure how to explain herself.

“It’s fine.” Cedric could tell what she was about to say and didn’t want her to feel awkward. He confessed his own feelings openly.

He explained, “Don’t feel pressured. I’ll admit, yes, I helped you, but I also had my own reasons.”

Sienna was surprised. She hadn’t expected him to be so straightforward, without hiding anything.

“Cedric, I’ve already told you before… We’re not right for each other,” she said.

“I remember that,” Cedric said with a nod and a smile. “But I don’t understand. How exactly are we not right for each other?”

Isn’t it obvious?‘ she thought. ‘One, I have no family background Two, there’s my past marriage….

Cedric paused for a moment before asking, “Sienna, do you know Marcus?”
