Chapter 77
The glow of the phone illuminated Cedric’s happy face, Cedric couldn’t contain his excitement and swallowed constantly as he quickly typed, m free Should I wait until you’re done!
Sienna replied swiftly. [Let’s meet at the first intersection at eleven o’clock [
Cedric was overjoyed and tested. [Okay]
Opposite him, Josiah picked up his glass and downed his whiskey in one go. Leaning forward, he grabbed the bottle and refilled his glass
Yosef glanced at Josiah and asked, “Why are you drinking so hard! Take it easy”
“Nothing” Josiah looked down, his handsome face calm. “Where to next? How about finding a new place to continue?”
Everyone didn’t expect Josiah to say this, and both Yosef and Thomas agreed with him.
“Sure. Thomas picked up his phone. “I’ll set it up then”
“Fine,” replied Josiah.
“Uh…” Cedric raised his hand awkwardly and said, “I can’t. Have fun, you guys?
Yosef looked at Cedric with doubt and asked him, “Why not!”
Cedric answered, “I have something to
to do.”
Yosef warpuzzled and said. “Huh? You said you had nothing going on tonight.”
I… Cedric mumbled. “I have a dare.”
As Cedric’s cousin, Yosef undoubtedly knew Cedric the best. Wrapping Cedric by the neck with an arm, Yosef whispered, “A date: Judging by your expression, is it with a girl?”
Cedric frozen and suddenly jumped up. I’m running late, Yosef. I have to go. With that, Cedric hurried away.
Yosef pointed at Cedric’s back, laughing. “He’s growing up, right?”
With a loud bang. Josiah slammed the cup onto the table and stood up abruptly, heading straight out without saying a word.
“Hey! Where are you going?” asked Yosef.
“Home,” said Josiah.
“What?” Yosef was stunned and said, “Is he serious? Didn’t he say to move to a new place?”
Josiah rushed out and saw, by chance, at the intersection, Sienna getting into Cedric’s car and Cedric giving a smug.
Josiah turned away, feeling bothered. “Zaid, go?
“Got it,” said Zaid.
Josiah closed his eyes and leaned back. He couldn’t care anymore. He thought Grandma had blessed Sienna and Cedric, so there wasn’t anything
more he could do.
However, his face showed deep gloom. Maybe he drank too much and felt stifled. He took off his suit, yanking off his tie and tossing it aside.
Even after loosening two buttons on his shirt, it wasn’t helping. He was still extremely annoyed. Josiah felt like he was going to explode and wanted
to curse.
Guided by Sienna, the car stopped at a bustling night market. Sienna apologized, “You’re here for the first time, right? I’m sorry, but with income, this is the best I can afford.”
“Why would you think that? Cedric chuckled, shaking his head. “Even though I went abroad to study at a young age and haven’t been here, there are street stalls abroad as well, not just fancy places”
“Lair.” Sienna laughed. “You won’t come to a place like this”

Cedric was taken aback and then burst into laughter, “You’re right”
“Follow me,” Sienna led Cedric into a pizza shop, ordering a pizza.
Sienna wiped the table with a napkin. The pizza here is delicious. You can have a try.”
Cedric nodded and said. “Okay”
The pizza arrived. Cedric tasted it and found it delicious. “Yummy,”
Sienna smiled, her eyes sparkling. “Thank you for your pumpkin soup, but, please, don’t buy it for me anymore.”
Hearing this, Cedric was taken aback, and his expression grew serious. He was nervous and asked, “Don’t you like it?”
“Yes,” said Sienna,
Cedric was so shocked that he couldn’t speak. He stared at her blankly, “I’m sorry”
“Don’t apologize” Sienna sighed softly and said in a low voice. The pumpkin soup is delicious, and I do like it. But please, don’t send it again.”
Cedric nodded with sadness. “I see. You just don’t like me.”
Cedric wasn’t willing to accept it because he hadn’t even had a chance for her to get to know him. “Am I really that displeasing to you?”
Sienna said calmly. “Don’t say that. You’re great, and I’m sure you know it. But we’re not suitable for each other, even if you just want to get me laid
Cedric was stunned and thought, “Get you laid? Is that how you see me?‘
“No.” Cedric quickly shook his head and waved his hands, speaking urgently. “I never thought that. I don’t just want to have a one–night stand with you Stenna, I really fall in love with you!”
Sienna thought silently. Well, it’s even worse: She sighed. “You should know that we’re not a good match.
“Why?” To Cedric, Sienna was the first girl he ever liked. On the stage of Maze, the moment he saw her, he couldn’t forget her.
Cedric couldn’t give up before he started. “Are you concerned about your past marriage with Josiah?”
Sienna furrowed her brows, not directly answering. “You should find a girl whose background is similar to yours.”
“But I can’t control myself” Cedric couldn’t accept what Sienna said. “Nobody will let a past marriage stop them together with each other.”
Sienna opened her mouth, momentarily at a loss for words. She hadn’t expected Cedric, who was so gentle, to express his love so passionately. But precisely because she was moved, she had to turn him down. “Please, forget me.”
“Why” Cedric asked, confused. “Even Miranda supports you in having a new life. Why are you rejecting me!”
Sienna couldn’t explain, so she only said, “This is my privacy. Sorry, I’m not planning to start a new relationship. Please don’t come looking for me anymore. Your novelty will wear off Very soon, you’ll forget about me
She stood up. “I’ve already paid for this. Thank you for the pumpkin soup. Consider it my return gift, and let’s end it here”
With that, she grabbed her bag and walked away without daring to look back at Cedric,
“Sienna, Sienna!” Cedric got up to chase her, but the street was too crowded, and by the crowd.
nd Sienna ran ahead without looking back. Soon, they were separated
Cedric was at a loss because he couldn’t find her. He stood in the crowd, looking around, and murmured in disappointment, “But what if I can’t forget you?”
