Chapter 23 He Took Her Advice
Amid Ladonna’s bewildered accusations, Cedric remained silent. He shook his head casually and fished a cigarette from his pocket, lighting it.
Just as he was about to smoke by the window, his cigarette was snatched away.
Ladonna stubbed it out with a frown and looked at the confused Cedric.
She seemed to have a plan and was no longer afraid to look into Cedric’s eyes.
She inhaled slightly and said seriously, “Cedric, I’m an outsider, but I do care about Corbin after staying with him for so many days. It broke my heart to see him so upset today.
“What’s wrong with you? Don’t you worry about Corbin? No matter what, he’s a child. How can you be so strict with him?”
Cedric didn’t speak, looking at Ladonna quietly.
“I know you have a bad temper, but Corbin is your child. I hope you step up as a father instead of smoking here.”
After she spoke, Ladonna tossed the cigarette aside and turned to leave.
When she reached out to turn the doorknob, her shoulders were gripped.
She was spun around and pulled into a warm embrace. Ladonna was pinned to a corner.
Cedric bent to kiss her suddenly.
Ladonna subconsciously struggled, but Cedric didn’t give her any chance

to resist.
Gradually, she surrendered to his aggressive kiss and gave up struggling.
Time blurred. Cedric finally released Ladonna.
“I know what you mean. I was too impulsive today. I’ll have a good talk with Corbin later. Don’t worry.”
Ladonna looked up in surprise when hearing his deep voice.
Ladonna didn’t expect Cedric to take her advice and change his mind.
Did he just apologize for what he did?
Did Cedric actually apologize?
Ladonna was shocked. It took her a long while to come back to her
senses.
She heard a soft chuckle and saw the smile on Cedric’s face.
So he suddenly became happy for no reason?
Perhaps she should seize the chance and have a good talk with him.
Ladonna frowned hesitantly.
She said tentatively, “So you’re not angry now?”
Cedric indeed felt much better and shook his head slightly as his
response.
“Then let’s talk about us.”
“Why?” Cedric asked in confusion.
“When will you set me free? Will you lock me up forever?” Ladonna’s

voice dripped with rejection.
Cedric chuckled softly and said, “Why not? I can lock you up for a lifetime.”
“Cedric, you can’t do this to me. I gotta take care of Izabella. She’s running out of time. I…”

“I told you. Don’t worry about Izabella. I’ll take care of everything. You just need to stay here with me.”
Cedric didn’t want to talk about this with Ladonna and gestured for her to
leave.
Ladonna knew she couldn’t rush it, so she left the study helplessly.
As Corbin slept in Ladonna’s room, Cedric didn’t come at night.
The next morning, Corbin was again summoned to the study, but he wore a smile when he came out.
Ladonna knew the father and son had finally made up.
