Chapter 270
Hearing his voice, Siema felt a slight pang in her heart, and her fingertips trembled slightly. “Cedric.”
Cedric chuckled. “Why are you calling! Is there something wrong
“Yes” Stenna hesitated, unsure of how to continue
“Cedric’s tone shifted, sensing her hesitation. “Did Josiah do something to your
“No” Sienna closed her eyes and took a deep breath, “You and Reyna. Are you still together?”
Deep down, she hoped they had broken up, and that would be the end of it
Cedric’s
‘s answer was straightforward. “Yeah, we are.” He sounded confined. “But why do you want to know, Stenna!”
Sienna opened her mouth, hesitated for a long time, and then blurted out, “Cedric, you and Reyna can’t keep this going
“Why not?” Cedric asked, taken aback. Sienna wasn’t the type to meddle in others‘ affairs. He wondered, “Do you know something I don’t?”
“Yeah” Since she had already started, there was no turning back
She had no idea how serious Cedric and Reyna’s relationship had become or how much he really liked her. But Reyna wasn’t good enough for him Sometimes it was better to cut ties than to drag out the suffering.
She said. “Cedric. I’m going to send you a photo I just took. When you see it, you’ll understand.”
“Okay,” Cedric replied, puzzled. The call ended, and he immediately received a WhatsApp notification. He opened it and saw the photo that Sienna had just taken. Reyna was hugging Jamie with her arms around his neck, standing on tiptoe to kiss him.
Cedric sneered; he figured out what was going on
It was only afternoon, but Cedric was already in no mood to work. He gave his assistant a few quick instructions, then headed out of the office, and drove home
The Brawne family was bustling with activity as they prepared to welcome the Fischer family for dinner. This was their first time hosting them, and Xenia was taking it very seriously.
Evan returned home for a bit to make a copy of some documents in the study. As he went downstairs, he could hear his wife’s voice booming. “How’s the stew coming along?
“And why hasn’t the carpet been changed yet? Didn’t I tell you to switch it to the beige one, Hilda?”
Xenia turned around and saw her husband. Evan smiled reassuringly and said, “No need to be so nervous. It’s just a casual dinner”
“How can I not be nervous?” Xenia laughed, her exhaustion masked by the joy in her eyes. “Think about all the girls we’ve introduced to Cedric recently. It’s not easy to find someone he’s willing to get to know better….
“True” Evan nodded with a smile. He couldn’t bring himself to mention that Reyna bore a slight resemblance to Sienna, which was probably why has son was willing to give her a chance.
“It’s all good now.” Xenia was quite satisfied with Reyna’s family background. I just hope they hit it off and get married in a year or two “Yeah” Evan kept nodding and smiling
“You!” Xenia shot a glare at her husband. “All you ever say is yeah: Don’t you have anything else to add? 1 would ve happened to our son
If I had left in all to you, I can’t imagine what
She went on. “Thank goodness I took some measures. Otherwise, Cedric would have been messed up by Sienna..
“Mom called Cedric
Both Xenia and Evan looked up at the same time.
“Cedric, why are you back” Xenia panicked. They were so busy talking that they didn’t notice when their son came in. How much had he

Chapter 270
Cedric’s eyes flashed with intensity. A faint anger shadowed his usually calm face. “Mom, what did you do back then?”
“Son…
Xenia felt a knot in her stomach. She quickly grasped Cedric’s arm. “Let me explain.”
“Okay” Codric replied, his gaze fixed on her. “Timm listening”
“Cedric…” Xenia’s voice trembled with anxiety. What could she say! She never imagined that past decisions would resurface because of her momentary pride
“Say something. Are you going to stay silent?” Cedric pursed his lip, struggling to hold back his anger. “What exactly did you do to Sienna?“
He had always thought he and Sienna had broken up because of Josiah’s interference.
“Could it be.” Cedric’s eyes gradually darkened. “Did Sienna and I break up not because of Josiah
“Cedne “Xenia was at a loss for words; the truth was far messier than he could imagine.
“What happened! Tell me. Cedric demanded, remembering how Sienna had cried. His heart ached all over again
Thinking back to that day when he flew from Lockage to Flirty, he remembered Sienna’s joy at seeing him. It felt like she was about to agree to be with him. But then, she changed. Something was off.
“Could it be that… he murmured.
Xenia didn’t say anything, and Cedric began to guess. “Sienna didn’t want to, and you and Josiah worked together to force her or set her up” If that was the case, he had been a real jerk.
Xenia shook her head vigorously. “No, I didn’t collude with Mr. Flynn, I found someone him
from Flic
Flirty, but I don’t know why Sienna ended up with
“Humph” She still didn’t grasp her mistake and sneered, “If you ask me, she’s just shameless, juggling you and Josiah at the same time…
“Mom!” Cedric roared, his face pale, veins bulging on his forehead. He looked at his mother with sadness and disappointment, shaking his head. “Stop it just stop.
h his heart, “I can’t believe you actually…
A sudden wave of pain shot through his be
His mother had found someone to harm the girl he loved. How scared and desperate Sienna must have been back then.
“No” Xenia shook her head and denied it flatly. “I just asked that person to frighten her….
“Enough,” Cedric said, utterly disappointed, his eyes bloodshot. “Mom, do you love me?”
“Cedric..” Xenia’s heart skipped a beat. “Of course, I do-
“No.” Cedric shook his head with a sardonic smile. “You destroyed my love with your own hands, Can’t you see? Sienna is the first person I have ever loved in my twenty–five years”
Xenia’s heart sank. She was shocked and angry, unable to accept such an accusation. “I only did it for your own good. A woman like Sienna isn’t worthy of you
“Cedric was taken aback for a moment and then suddenly burst into laughter. He couldn’t stop for a while.
Xenia and Evan
exchanged worried glances, “Cedric…” they called.
Cedric stopped laughing and raised his eyebrows with a sarcastic look. “So, Sienna isn’t good enough for me, and instead, you chose someone like Reynal
