Cedrick's car was barely three centimeters away from the other car, and they nearly crashed into one another.Cedrick's face was red, though it was either due to rage or excessive emotional suppression.He furiously held up Catelyn by her collar and snarled, "Catelyn, sit properly, now!"Catelyn suddenly tilted her little face and looked up at him, then planted a kiss on his lips.…"B*tch!" Jamie threw his phone against the wall, causing it to shatter as it fell to the floor.He tugged at his tie, enraged.He lost Catelyn to another man, again!Even though he had divorced Catelyn a long time ago, he still felt as though she cheated on him.She was raising his son, so how could she do this with another man?This was betrayal!…The morning sun shone through the window panes and landed softly on the clean, white sheets. Catelyn slowly woke up from her dreams.She felt like her head was splitting as though she had a hangover. She was so weak that she did not feel like liftin
"You…" Catelyn, flustered and annoyed altogether, folded her arms at her chest defensively. "Don't touch me."Cedrick admired her flustered expression from a distance.He had not slept so soundly for a long while."Nothing happened between us last night!" Catelyn sputtered, subconsciously raising her voice when she did, as though nothing happened between them if she did.Cedrick was about to say something but decided not to.He wanted to tell Catelyn what happened that night, but seeing her in such a state…He looked displeased. "Well, if nothing happened, what did?"Catelyn subconsciously held the blanket tightly in her fists, her grip so firm that she nearly punctured her fingers right through the fabric."Do you see these?" Cedrick pointed at his muscular chest. "These long marks are all your masterpieces.""I didn't…" Catelyn was flustered. Her face became tinted with pink as she muttered, her long lashes fluttering, "I don't remember anything! Even if anything happened, i
That plate number was 999. Jamie bade this number from the auction market years ago. He insisted on using this plate even if he changed his cars.Catelyn was not surprised to see Jamie and Louella in the car.The window was rolled halfway down, and the pale-faced Louella was just discharged from the hospital. Jamie, meanwhile, was tending to her gently by her side. He placed the back of his hand on her forehead, full of affection and care.Catelyn stared at them for a long while. When the traffic light finally turned green again, she finally took out the meds from their boxes.The park was bustling with noise and activity at this moment.She was just about to pop the morning-after pills into her mouth when a hand grabbed her wrist, forcefully stopping her. Catelyn looked up to the owner of the hand.There Cedrick was, standing behind her under the scorching sun, his figure overcast. His shadow was so tall that it seemed to have engulfed Catelyn's smaller frame.His fingers dug i
"I just want to be safe. What if?""There is no 'what if'. Only one woman in this world can conceive my child," retorted Cedrick curtly, his gaze darker than ink.The sunlight was refracted by the windowpanes and onto his body as though casting a faint halo on him.She could not see through him. She could not understand.Catelyn's fists that rested on her knees retracted as she tugged lightly at her pant legs.Was Cedrick talking about Maia?His engagement with Maia was not supposed to be called off. Was she truly a homewrecker?Catelyn's lashes quivered at this, and she fell silent.…Catelyn was dropped off at the entrance of Ocean Park Residence.She was supposed to get some groceries along the way home, but she was so exhausted that all she wanted was to lie on the bed.As she was nearing her apartment, the guard greeted her.Catelyn had a good relationship with most of her neighbors, and she would, at times, buy fruits and share with the guards."Ah, you're back, Miss
"Was it Cedrick? You're such a sl*t, Catelyn. How dare you rob Maia's fiance from her? What do you think will happen to you if she hears about this?""You could say whatever you like, but can you move along now?"Catelyn was far too exhausted; she did not want to argue with Jamie anymore.However, her unbothered attitude served to only provoke Jamie.With bloodshot eyes and a mind too deep in chaos like a beast on the loose, he grabbed Catelyn by her throat."What about Queenie? She's only twenty! Even if she did something wrong, she's still my baby sister. How could you be so cruel to her and hired those men to sully her? I even have to take the blame from everyone now! You alone ruined our whole family's reputation, so you better give me an explanation, Catelyn!"Catelyn, amid her struggle of being choked, took two steps back but was pushed against the wall. She had nowhere else to run.Her small-sized face grew scarlet as her blood circulation was obstructed, but her expressi
Meanwhile, Lori was at the hospital, tending to Queenie.The moment Queenie woke up, she took a glance at the mirror and was mortified by her face. Ever since then, she was an emotional wreck and curled herself into a ball. She would shout at anyone that got near her, refusing to be in touch with people.The doctor explained that Queenie was traumatized and that she must heal in peace for the time being.Lori bawled her eyes out at this and prayed for mercy.To add to the mix, she found out that Louella sent Jamie to the hospital. When Lori was told that Jamie was kicked between his legs, she gnashed her teeth, wanting nothing more than to tear Catelyn apart with her bare hands.Jamie walked out of the examination room, though his legs were visibly wobbly."Catelyn, that pig! It was terrible enough that Queenie got assaulted because of her, and now she hurt you, too! Jamie, we can't let her get away with this!" Lori wept as she pulled Jamie by his sleeves. "You must take revenge!
Edwin raised his brows in curiosity and looked at Charles. "What happened?""Not sure." Charles shook his head in displeasure. He slid his finger across his neck as though motioning a slit across his throat, and it was enough to convey his feelings. "Cedrick has been like this since morning."Edwin tried to recall the situation last night. He then tutted and entered Cedrick's office.Cedrick glanced at him through the corner of his eyes, his brows knitted together in visible irritation. "Is my office a public toilet for you? Don't you know how to knock?"Edwin merely scoffed, seemingly unbothered by Cedrick's remark.Nonetheless, he walked out the door and knocked three times for formality. Without waiting for Cedrick's permission, he put his hands into his pockets and strode into the office.He then sat on the sofa nonchalantly and crossed his legs.Cedrick's face sank. "Nothing happened."He recalled what happened during the dinner event.When he went to the room Lola had to
Cedrick and Edwin returned to Mason Estate, and the servants rose to greet them as they arrived. "Master Cedrick, Mister Atherton."Edwin winked at the head of the servants, to which she blushed and felt her heart soar at the gesture. All the maids were delighted to see them.Both men then made their way to the swimming pool, where Miles was already waiting with a dark-colored towel wrapped around him. He was ready to win the challenge."Master Cedrick, you've returned," greeted Albert as he came forward, his lips wearing a light smile.Cedrick looked at Miles doubtfully, not believing the boy could win the bet. "Did he really learn how to swim?"Over the past year, Cedrick had tried numerous ways to get Ollie to learn swimming but to no avail.Miles dashed forward excitedly. "Don't underestimate me, Big Demon. I'm very good at swimming!"Cedrick snickered. "If you can come out there without cramps, it'll be impressive enough."Miles' cheeks inflated at this. His tiny hands tug
