You pobrs Cedric said , gesturing for Sienna to sprak .

Sienna nodded , peering at his expression .

Are you okay ? Dont be too sad .

She was referring to Reyna .

Yes , Cedne sand , forcing a smile I know In truth , he felt a bit embarrassed admitting he wasnt really sad .

If anything , he felt a sense of relief .

I was Xenia who had wanted him to be with Reyna .

He had only gone along with it because his mother had hugged him about it so much that he wanted her to just drop it already Logically , Cedric should have been angry that Reyna was two timing him .

But he wasnt , not even a little bit , because his feelings for her had always been shallow .

As a result , he didnt feel guilty .

As for sadness , the reason for his sadness was something entirely different .

Sienna Cedric whispered , his eyes welling up .
