Chapter 255

This was a new experience for Nydia, being held by a man in such a way. She blushed and struggled in Cedric’s arms.

Her legs felt weak but she managed to place her hands against his chest, trying to push him away.

“Oh? Only my little brother gets to hold you? Do you have a crush on him?” Cedric’s dark eyes traced the contours of Nydia’s lovely face.

The flush creeping up, her forehead glistening with a slight sheen of sweat, the enticing blush of her cheeks, all combined to present an image of Innocence and allure that made him want to tease her.

Emeric’s family was known for their exceptional genes. Each of his wives had their own unique beauty. But the one who stood out the most was Myra.

And Nydia had inherited her mother’s stunning beauty, her skin glowing with youthful vitality.

Cedric was a normal man. His heart fluttered at the sight of a beautiful woman.

“No, that’s not it.” Nydia’s face turned even redder.

“Then let me take you back to rest.” His hand around her slender waist didn’t loosen its grip.

‘No, Mr. Cedric. I can manage on my own.”

“You can barely stand. Don’t push yourself.”

Cedric leaned in closer, his face near hers, close enough to kiss. If it weren’t for Nydia’s hands on his chest, their bodies would have been pressed together. “When we were kids, it wasn’t just Jason who saw you. You don’t need to be so formal with me. Just call me Cedric.”

“Miss Nydia!”

A worried shout snapped Nydia back to reality.

If Jason hadn’t arrived when he did, Cedric might have taken advantage of the situation. He was so close to stealing a kiss! His little brother was always ruining things!

Cedric quickly composed his face into a mask of Innocence and helped Nydia steady herself. His cold gaze settled on Jason.

“Miss Nydia, why are you with my brother?” Jason’s voice wavered, his eyes filled with concern..

He had seen Nydia in Cedric’s arms, their bodies pressed against each other. From his angle, it looked like Cedric was about to kiss her and she wasn’t resisting.

He felt a lump in his throat, as if it was stuffed with cotton.

Nydia’s heart fluttered. She rubbed her eyes.

“Miss Nydia, answer me!” Jason was frantic, quickly stepping forward.

Cedric’s gaze darkened as he stepped in front of a pale–faced Nydia, “Miss Nydia got drunk and nearly fell. I happened to be there and helped her. Is there a problem?”

“Did you really just want to help her?” Jason gritted his teeth.

Remembering Cedric’s lustful gaze when he looked at Nydia, his heart clenched.

“What are you implying? You’re making it sound like I’m a beast in gentleman’s clothing.”

Cedric laughed mockingly, as if deeply wronged, “I’m a lawyer. I know the law. This is Miss Nydia’s home, and the Ashbourne family is here. What could I possibly do? Unlike you, you’re already Chairman Emeric’s godson, and Miss Evadne’s favorite. You can do whatever you want. I’ll take care of Miss Nydia, you go serve your young mistress.”

Having said that, Cedric turned back and looked at Nydia with deep affection.

Jason was so angry he couldn’t even call his brother. His eyes were bloodshot, his fingers clenched.
