Maia was so annoyed that her eyes were bulging with blood vessels.The corners of Catelyn's lips curved up as she said, unbothered, "Right, a week ago, I saw a couple walking into the International Grand Hotel… Hmm, the woman resembled you so much."Maia snapped defensively, "What are you talking about? I had never been to the International Grand Hotel! How dare you make false accusations!""Looks like I have recognized the wrong person then. She looked so much like you, and I even took a photo of her. Do you want to have a look?"Maia's pupils constricted in fear. Her poised appearance could no longer remain composed. Catelyn watched her reaction and smiled lightly, then patted her shoulders. "Anyone can humiliate me, except you, because you don't qualify to."Then, she did not even leave room for rebuttal, turned and pushed her cart, and was about to leave the scene. However, as soon as she looked up, she froze.Cedrick had entered the mall and stood right behind the rack
Catelyn wanted to ask him not to bother, and she could just make do with one night. However, Cedrick ignored her and picked out a lot of items. The shopping cart was soon filled with personal care and toiletries for a woman! Cedrick took the cart from her again and pushed it with one hand. His other hand held hers like a couple that was still deeply in love.Catelyn looked up at his well-defined facial structures while his dry hand held hers and zoned out slightly.Cedrick checked her out through the corner of his eyes and bit his lower lip. He then shuffled his fingers and interlocked them with hers.Catelyn peeked at him again and realized he was emotionless again.Maybe this was easier for him to hold her hands. It was not Cedrick's first time shopping at the mall, but it was his first time shopping with a woman at the mall. The man was tall and handsome, while the woman was young and beautiful. They made such a perfect pair that they attracted a lot of attention from passer
It was just an excuse, and she thought Cedrick would not agree to it. However, he only looked at them with an incomprehensible expression and turned away. …Catelyn started baking after coming back from the mall.Miles cleaned his hands and put on a cute little apron for a toddler. He then stood on a stool, had his sleeves rolled up, and started kneading the dough with Catelyn. He did not have much strength, but his movements were on point. His hands waddled in the big mixing bowl and occasionally stroked the back of Catelyn's hand with his hand that was covered in flour.Catelyn and Miles were spending quality time in the kitchen together.Even though Cedrick was reading the newspaper in the living room, he was attentive to whatever happened in the kitchen. Ollie was so happy, like they were actual mother and son. Finally, it was the crucial step of the kneading. Catelyn was kneading the dough alone, trying to press out all of the air bubbles in the dough.Miles stood qui
Cedrick was speechless."Don't get together with Big Demon. I want to marry you when I grow up!"Cedrick shot a piercing stare at Miles, then said, "Albert, please bring Ollie to class now.""My body is so itchy… Mummy, mummy, can you please scratch for me."Catelyn's heart almost stopped when she heard the word 'mummy'. Her eyes widened in disbelief. Cedrick passed it off as Ollie's wish for Catelyn to be his mother and only frowned slightly. Albert looked at the funny actions of his young master, failing to hide his smile. "Master Cedrick, since Miss Clark is here, and Young Master Ollie is so fond of her. Perhaps… We can take a break from the lesson today and only continue tomorrow?""Why don't you take a break from your meals today and only continue eating tomorrow?"Poot poot poot!Suddenly, three fart sounds broke the silence.It was immediately followed by a pungent smell.Cedrick was the first to smell it because of the place he was standing. Miles deliberately aim
What really happened four years ago?Why did Cedrick take her baby away? How would he respond if he knew that she was Ollie's mother?Knock knock.Someone knocked on the shower screen. "Who's there?" Catelyn yelled in reflex."It's me," Cedrick's deep deductive voice said."One minute!"Catelyn wiped the bubbles off her and put on her new pajamas. She did not have her special drying hat, so she could only wipe her hair dry with the towel. Her half-wet wet hair then drooped over her shoulders.Cedrick leaned against the wall lazily outside the door with one of his legs bent, and he was pinching a cigarette in his fingers. His other hand was playing with the lighter and was about to light his cigarette. He turned and looked when he heard the door open.She stuck her head out of the shower screen, carefully checking.Cedrick took one long look at her, then walked to the tea table and put out his cigarette in the ashtray.He then went to the bar to fill up a glass of water.He
Cedrick blinked.Was she throwing a tantrum?Right when she turned her back against him, he grabbed her and hugged her tight in his arms. "Call my name." Cedrick looked at her stubbornly, refusing to let her go.Catelyn was not concerned at all. After all, she was on her period."...This is too fast for me. I can't call you that."He deliberately misunderstood her meaning and said, using his husky voice, pretending to be confused, "It was you who wanted us to go fast. Now you are complaining about me being too fast? Call my name.""You…"Catelyn's body tensed up. She was half a head shorter than him. She looked up, her lips opened slightly, and bit right onto his chin. Like a little beast, she dug her teeth deep into his skin and said under her breath, "Let me go, you gangster…"The supposed pain only felt like scratches to Cedrick.However, he released her obediently……Catelyn declined Cedrick's offer to blow her hair dry and went into the bathroom alone with the hairdry
Time ticked by slowly. Catelyn was still lying sideways, with her shoulder almost numb. She finally could not resist it anymore and whispered, "Could you move your hand away, please?"There was no response.He was likely asleep.Catelyn's eyes lit up a little, and she asked again tentatively, "Cedrick?"Only silence answered her.Catelyn was relieved that he was finally asleep.She inched away carefully from his arms like a snail. She tried to pry away his hand with small and light actions, trying not to wake him up. She was panting from all the work.After a full two-minute, she finally escaped from his arms and immediately rolled to the right side of the bed.She wished she could be invisible so as not to catch his attention.Unexpectedly, just when she thought she had gotten away safely, another claw reached out to scooch her in again. "Hyperactivity?" His teasing voice sounded, "How could I sleep if you keep on moving around?"Catelyn blushed. She was flustered!He was
"Catelyn?""Yes."The other line went silent for a brief moment.Then, Janice spoke again, "Where are you guys?"Not sure why, even though Janice had tried to reject her numerous times, Catelyn just could not bring herself to dislike her. On the contrary, she somehow found her familiar and loveable. "We are at Mason Estate. Let me get Cedrick to return your call if you have any urgent matters.""Do you know the Mason Estate is where the future Missus Mason will stay?" Janice asked her patiently. Her tone was still calm as ever. However, her underlying meaning was shocking, like a silent bomb!Catelyn stopped breathing. Her heart skipped a beat.Mason Estate is where Missus Mason stays?No wonder when she requested to visit Mason Estate, Cedrick was stunned.Was he under the impression that she was desperate to make things official?"I'm sorry, I did not mean that. I was just…"Janice's temples were pulsing. "No wonder what your intention was. It proves how much he values
