Caught In His Embrace: A Second Chance Romance

Chapter 130

Cedric almost thought he had misheard. ‘Not good enough?‘ he wondered.

He couldn’t help but curl his lips. “This is ridiculous.”

“What?” he exclaimed.

This time, it wasn’t just Xenia. Evan couldn’t stay silent either. “Cedric, how could you talk to your mother like that?”

“Dad.” Cedric frowned, his handsome face showing disbelief.

“What era are we in? How can you still say not good enough? Is that absurd?” Cedric added.

“You…” Xenia’s words faltered. She exchanged a glance with her husband.

“Cedric.” Seeing her son’s dissatisfaction, Xenia softened her tone. “You grew up abroad, receiving a foreign education. But here, in Jeiacrity, things are different.”

He hadn’t been caught off guard. He had long anticipated the possibility of his parents objecting.

They hadn’t expected it to be true. Eyen more surprising was that their son would say such a thing for her.

For a moment, the couple was left without a response.

Faced with their silence, Cedric didn’t say anything more. They needed time to process it. He reached for the bracelet box on the table.

“Dad, Mom, it’s getting late,” he said, standing up. “I’m going to my room. You should get some rest too. Good night.”

“Oh dear…” After Cedric left, Xenia closed her eyes, raising a hand to her temples.

“Sweetheart, what’s wrong?” Evan asked.
