Caught In His Embrace A Second Chance Romance
Chapter 114 When Howard heard this, he looked both surprised and a little anxious He furrowed his brows, glaring at Cedric. His throat rumbled as he wanted to say something, making Cedric feel a little awkward.
âAlright,â Yvette said, holding him back and patting his hand. âDonât worry, Cedric got Mirandaâs approval, so everythingâs fine She turned to Cedric and smiled. âHowardâs just being a big brother. He thinks of Sienna like a sister, and now that sheâs got a boyfriend, of course heâs concerned. He doesnât mean anything by it.â
âYeahâ Cedric nodded, smiling. âI understand.â
He then looked at Howard âDonât worry. Howard, Iâm serious about Sienna. Ill take good care of her.â
Howard fell silent, but his brows stayed furrowed, not entirely relaxed.
After leaving the hospital room, Yvette walked them to the door I still need to take care of Howard, so I wonât be able to see âyou off. Thanks for coming to visit hunâ
âNo problemâ Cedric asked. âGo ahead and take care of him. Sienna and I will head out now.â
âAlrightâ Yvette nodded.
Once the door closed, Sienna didnât say a word.
âSiennaââ Cedric waved his hand in front of her face. âWhat are you thinking about? You look like youâre in a daze.â
âNo, nothing. Sienna snapped out of her thoughts, shaking her head.
She couldnât help but feel that something was off with Yvette and Howard. It seemed like there was something between them But what? Never mind, though. Howard is awake, so whatever it is, I trust heâd take care of it. As for the truth about what happened all those years ago, we would only find out once Howard is better, she wondered.
âWe should go,â she said.
âOkayâ Cedric nodded.
Cedric drove Sienna back to 12th Avenue. They got stuck in some traffic when passing through the commercial street.
The car stopped at an intersection, and Sienna leaned against the window, sniffing the air. âThat smells so good Cedric, noticing her expression, smiled. âWhat do you smell?â
The windows were closed, so there was no way the smell should be getting inside.
âRight there. Sienna pointed to a spot just up the road. âThereâs a shop selling handmade chocolate. That scent has been -stuck in my head.â
âLet me take a look, Cedric leaned his head out the window, then smiled. âHold on.â
The light turned green, and he started to drive. But instead of ging straight, he slowly pulled over by the handmade chocolate shop.
2048 Chapter 114 âWhat are you doing? sien asked, watching him unbuckle his seatbelt.
Cedric raised an eyebrow. âBuying some handmade chocolate.
With that, he got out of the car.
âHey,â Sienna hesitated for a moment before getting out and following him.
There was a line in front of the shop, and Cedric stond at the back, waving to Sienna as she approached.
âJust wait, weâll have some in a minute.â He smiled.
âHey...â Sienna couldnât help but smile. Sheâd just mentioned it, aber all.

In the crowd, Cedricâs tall figure stood out, and Sienna started counting on her fingers. âThere are six people in front of him, now five...
She couldnât help but think about how Joyce loved chocolate too. But since it was hard for her to digest, Sienna only allowed her to have two pieces at a time.
She missed Joyce so much. Even though they videoâcalled every couple of days, Sienna couldnât wait for her surgery to be over so they could finally reunite.
Lost in her thoughts, she realized they had reached Cedricâs turn âIâll have a milk chocolate one,â he said.
âSure,â the cashier said with a smile. âYouâre lucky, thatâs the last one of the milk chocolate.â
âWait... Thatâs the last one?â A girl peeked over Cedricâs shoulder and the shopkeeper nodded, repeating, âYes, thatâs the last one. This gentleman just bought it.â
âHey, handsome.â As soon as the girl saw it was a man, she clasped her hands together and pleaded. âI really, really want that milk chocolate. Could you maybe let me have it?â
If it were anyone else, Cedric would have been happy to show some gentlemanly spirit but not this time.
He shook his head apologetically. âSorry, I canât do that.â
âWhat?â The girl was taken aback by the refusal. âYouâre a grown man, so why not just give it up? Are you really that petty?â Cedric just smiled and didnât argue. âSorry.â
âHow about this?â The girl gritted her teeth. âTll give you an extra 2 dollars if you let me have it. What do you say?â Cedric shook his head again.
âSorry, itâs not about the moneyâ
He glanced at Sienna, who was standing a few steps away. âIâm really sorry, but youâll have to wait for the next batch? âSir, here you go.â The shopkeeper handed him a paper bag, and Cedric quickly took it, nodding at the angry girl.
âSorry again,â he smiled.
He then walked straight over to Sienna.
âHere you go.â Cedric presented the milk chocolate like it was a measure. âThe shopkeeper said this flavor is the best. Itâs the last one, so you should try it He unwrapped the chocolate and took a bite. âOuch.â The wrapper scratched his hand, and Cedric quickly pulled his hand 2/3 Mon, Chapter 114 back, nervously tugging at his earlobe, giving a sheepish smile. s really good, though.â
Carefully, he took another piece, unwrapped it, and brought it to Siennaâs mouth. âHere, open upâ
âOkay.â Sienna lowered her head, opening her mouth to taste it.
âSo, how is it?â Cedric asked, eager.
âYes!â Sienna puffed her cheeks and gave a thumbsâup, âItâs really good.
âGreat, let me peel another for you,â he continued.
Sienna stayed quiet. She had seen everything how the girl had begged Cedric, and how he hadnât given in.
She bit her lip and asked, âWhy didnât you let the girl have it? Arenât you afraid she might blame you?â
Cedric thought for a second before breaking into a small laugh do feel bad for her, but I bought it for you. No way Iâm giving it up to a stranger.â
Sienna blinked, her eyes growing misty. For the first time, someone had put her first.
âWhatâs wrong?â Cedric noticed her eyes were red as if she was about to cry. âDid you choke on it?â
He remembered chocolate could be hard to swallow sometimes âDo you need some water? Cedric panicked, âI have some in the car. Iâll go get it for you.â
He took a step forward, then stopped, realizing something was of âSienna, come with me. Itâll be quicker.
Sienna smiled through her tears. âDonât worry Iâm fine. I didnât choke.â
âAre you sure?â Cedric looked at her closely. Her eyes were red, though. âThen whatâs wrong?â
Sienna took a bite of chocolate. âBecause the chocolate is really good.â
âHuh?â Cedric blinked, confused, but when he saw Siennaâs bright smile, he relaxed.

ï¤Chapter 1750 He probably understood why now. âSienna, there are people who care about you. I donât know if Iâm the first, but Iâm sure I wonât be the last.â
At that moment, Siennaâs heart ached, and she almost couldnât hold back her tears.
She took a deep breath, forced a smile, and nodded. âYeah, I believe you.â
No matter what happened in the future, no matter if anyone else cared for her, she would never forget this moment.
