Caught In His Embrace: A Second Chance Romance

Chapter 131

Upon hearing the sound, Sienna put down her fork and hurriedly went to meet him.

“Sienna,” said Cedric.

*Cedric? What are you…” Sienna was puzzled.

Not wanting to discuss it in the open, Sienna gestured toward the parlor, and the two of them went inside to talk.

“Sienna.” Cedric lowered his head, filled with guilt and self–blame. His voice was rushed and unsure. “I messed up. I didn’t think my mom would come find you. Whatever she said, don’t take it to heart. Please don’t be angry…

“Don’t worry.” Sienna, in contrast to him, was much calmer. “I’m not angry. Mrs. Brawne was only speaking the truth.”

“Sienna?” Cedric was taken aback, sensing something was off.

“Sienna.” Sienna let out a soft sigh. “What your mother said is all true. That’s also why I rejected you that day. From now on, it’s best if we don’t meet again.”

“No!” Before she could finish, Cedric quickly interrupted her.

His handsome face twisted with pain. “Sienna, please don’t say that.”

He was clearly in distress. “It’s my fault. I didn’t handle things right. I never expected my mom to do this. Sienna, I really like you.

“Finding the right person isn’t easy, and I don’t want to give up… I can’t just give up. Please don’t just shut me down like this, okay?”

“But…” Sienna shook her head, unable to agree.

“Listen to me. Parents always have their reasons for opposing relationships. In most cases, when parents are against a relationship, it never ends well,” she added.

“You said most cases.” Cedric’s anxiety was growing. His voice rose by an octave. “That doesn’t mean all. How can we know it won’t work if we don’t even try?”

Sienna was momentarily at a loss for words, speechless.

“What’s going on?” In the restaurant, Miranda, unable to sit still, stood up and walked toward the parlor. “I’ll go take a look.”

“I’ll come with you.” Josiah quickly followed her.

Miranda shot him a look. “What’s going on with them? Do you know anything?”

“I don’t,” Josiah replied, shaking his head firmly.
