Cedric stayed quiet for a while after hearing Brione's sentiments. Meanwhile, Brione tried to sneak glances at Cedric while eating and compare the similarities of his build and face. All his physical characteristics were the same as Gavin's.
After a few minutes Cedric started speaking, "You're right and I won't deprive you of your own choices and will let you do as you please, so stop frowning and eat. I know my boundaries so you don't have to worry. I promise that I will not do anything that you would not like or anything that will be against your will."
Brione did not respond so he added, "You have to be my woman in the eyes of the public. I need your help to clear out all the rumors about me. It's getting annoying already," but at the back of his head his intention was to make Brione fall for him. He knew he had to take baby steps just like Will suggested so as to not freak her out.
