Caught In His Embrace: A Second Chance Romance

Chapter 114

When Howard heard this, he looked both surprised and a little anxious

He furrowed his brows, glaring at Cedric. His throat rumbled as he wanted to say something, making Cedric feel a little awkward.

“Alright,” Yvette said, holding him back and patting his hand. “Don’t worry, Cedric got Miranda’s approval, so everything’s

fine

She turned to Cedric and smiled. “Howard’s just being a big brother. He thinks of Sienna like a sister, and now that she’s got a boyfriend, of course he’s concerned. He doesn’t mean anything by it.”

“Yeah” Cedric nodded, smiling. “I understand.”

He then looked at Howard “Don’t worry. Howard, I’m serious about Sienna. Ill take good care of her.”

Howard fell silent, but his brows stayed furrowed, not entirely relaxed.

After leaving the hospital room, Yvette walked them to the door I still need to take care of Howard, so I won’t be able to see ‘you off. Thanks for coming to visit hun”

“No problem” Cedric asked. “Go ahead and take care of him. Sienna and I will head out now.”

“Alright” Yvette nodded.

Once the door closed, Sienna didn’t say a word.

“Sienna“” Cedric waved his hand in front of her face. “What are you thinking about? You look like you’re in a daze.”

“No, nothing. Sienna snapped out of her thoughts, shaking her head.

She couldn’t help but feel that something was off with Yvette and Howard. It seemed like there was something between them

But what? Never mind, though. Howard is awake, so whatever it is, I trust he’d take care of it. As for the truth about what happened all those years ago, we would only find out once Howard is better, she wondered.

“We should go,” she said.

“Okay” Cedric nodded.

Cedric drove Sienna back to 12th Avenue. They got stuck in some traffic when passing through the commercial street.
