Caught In His Embrace: A Second Chance Romance

Chapter 400

Yosef glanced at Cedric. "Since you just landed, take a moment to catch your breath," he suggested while pouring the latter a glass of water.

Cedric accepted the glass and felt better after quenching his thirst.

"Why are you here if you're not tired?" Yosef joked, "You've been in Lockagie for ages. Why not head home?"

"I'm in no hurry." Cedric frowned and shook his head. "My mom will nag me once I return."

It was a no-brainer that she would pester Cedric about going on blind dates.

Yosef chuckled. "Don't worry, since you fled to Lockagie for two months, Aunt Xenia grew worried you might never return. For now, she won't make you go on blind dates."

"I hope so." Cedric raised an eyebrow. He put down the glass and stood up. "I'm going to the restroom."

Josiah lifted his hand, extinguishing the cigarette in the ashtray. "I'm going out for some air," he explained.

When Cedric emerged from the restroom, he bumped into Josiah at the end of the hallway. "Josiah," Cedric greeted.

"Hello," Josiah replied, hands in his pockets. He shifted sideways and glanced at Cedric hesitatingly as if he wanted to say something.

"Josiah, do you have something to say?" Cedric asked as he had a hunch.

"Yes." Josiah nodded, his gaze fixed intently on Cedric. Josiah's lips parted slightly. "Do you still have feelings for Sienna?" he asked solemnly.

Cedric was taken aback. 'Why would Josiah ask such a question?' he thought in bewilderment.

When Cedric met Josiah's gaze, he could feel the weight of his suffocating presence.

Yet, Cedric did not back down. Cedric clenched his fists and nodded resolutely. "Yes, I still do."

The hallway fell silent. For a long moment, Josiah did not reply.
