Caught In His Embrace: A Second Chance Romance

Chapter 132

Cedric was in such a hurry that he put his phone away and immediately headed out the door. He had to see Sienna.

But as soon as he stepped outside, Xenia blocked his way.

“Where do you think you’re going?” she asked.

“Mom?” Cedric frowned, unable to understand. “I’m not a kid anymore. You can’t restrict my freedom.”

“Freedom?” Xenia scoffed, her eyes narrowing. “You’re feeling pretty bold, huh? Talking to me about freedom?”

She sized him up, her tone cutting. “What right do you have to talk about freedom? I raised you, I provided your education, and everything you have now the job at Brawne Group, the life you live it’s all because of this family.”
