Caught In His Embrace A Second Chance Romance novel Chapter 130

Chapter 130

Cedric almost thought he had misheard. ‘Not good enough?‘ he wondered.

He couldn’t help but curl his lips. “This is ridiculous.”

“What?” he exclaimed.

This time, it wasn’t just Xenia. Evan couldn’t stay silent either. “Cedric, how could you talk to your mother like that?”

“Dad.” Cedric frowned, his handsome face showing disbelief.

“What era are we in? How can you still say not good enough? Is that absurd?” Cedric added.

“You…” Xenia’s words faltered. She exchanged a glance with her husband.

“Cedric.” Seeing her son’s dissatisfaction, Xenia softened her tone. “You grew up abroad, receiving a foreign education. But here, in Jeiacrity, things are different.”

“Mom.” Cedric was unmoved.

“This isn’t about my education. There is no fundamental difference between Eastern and Western education

He hadn’t been caught off guard. He had long anticipated the possibility of his parents objecting.

-So, Cedric spoke clearly and slowly. “Sienna’s been divorced, so what? Does that mean a divorced woman can’t be happy?

Dad, Mom, are we really so old–fashioned?”

His words left Xenia and Evan stunned, speechless. At the party, they had heard that their son and fosiah’s ex–wife seemed to have a complicated connection.

They hadn’t expected it to be true. Eyen more surprising was that their son would say such a thing for her.

For a moment, the couple was left without a response.

Faced with their silence, Cedric didn’t say anything more. They needed time to process it. He reached for the bracelet box on the table.

“Dad, Mom, it’s getting late,” he said, standing up. “I’m going to my room. You should get some rest too. Good night.”

“Oh dear…” After Cedric left, Xenia closed her eyes, raising a hand to her temples.

“Sweetheart, what’s wrong?” Evan asked.

“I’ve got a headache.” Xenia shook her head, holding her forehead. “What are we going to do? No, I can’t agree to them being together. Absolutely not.”

Monday. Before 6 a.m., Josiah was already waiting outside the dance studio.

After the Serene Joys performance, Sienna had gained some recognition in the circle. Even Miranda had heard about it. Miranda was so pleased. “Sienna’s quietly becoming quite the success.”

Noticing that Sienna hadn’t been home for a few days, Miranda asked Josiah to bring her back. Since she had been busy over the weekend, they planned for Monday.

After waiting for about ten minutes, Josiah looked up and saw Sienna walking out with her bag. He immediately opened the car door and got out. He barely took two steps when he saw someone approaching her.

Chapter 130

It was none other than Xenia

Xenia stopped in front of Sienna, taking off her sunglasses. “Hello, you must be Sienna?”

“Yes. Sienna nodded in surprise. “Hello, may I ask who you are?”

Xenia glanced around. “It’s not very convenient to talk here. How about we find somewhere to sit down and chat? Is that okay?”

“Oh well…” Sienna hesitated. She didn’t even know who the woman was.

Xenia’s smile faded slightly, and her voice lowered on purpose. “I’m Cedric’s mother.”

Sienna stiffened, immediately feeling the pressure coming from her. She could guess why the woman was here.

“Mrs. Brawne, it’s a pleasure to meet you,” Sienna greeted.

“Please, no need for formalities.” Xenia raised an eyebrow. “Now, can we sit down and talk?”
