Cedrick was enraged too. He choked her by her neck and pinned her against the wall. "You love me? Your so-called love is to conspire against me with Nine, neglect the things I gave to you, and lie to me over and over again? I would rather not have your love!"He gave her chances, so many chances…She disappointed him over and over again."Haha!" Catelyn decided not to struggle anymore and let him choke her. "You're right. I was lying, throwing your important things away, and conspiring against you with Nine. Are you happy now?"Cedrick's veins were bulging on his forehead, and his face darkened."You are Nine's associate…"His hand was gripping tighter onto her throat. Catelyn was in pain. Her head was forced to tilt upward. She looked at his enraged glare and somehow found it amusing. She had been nothing but truthful before, begging for him to believe them, but he never did. She only lied this once, but he believed it all.He firmly believed it. Her face was red, but
She was unsure how long the torment lasted.If what happened four years ago was an accident, then what he was doing right now was revenge. "So, are you still thinking about Nine?"Cedrick was furious when he realized the woman under him was not giving him any response. Other than rage, he felt jealousy."Do you think he would be here to save you? No! You are only a pawn that he planted beside me. You are nothing to him!"Catelyn glared at him coldly as though looking at a pile of trash.Yes, trash!Cedrick wished to choke her to death. However, when his fingers laced around her neck, he could not bring himself to do it. Darn it. He could not…Their past sweet memories were flashing before his eyes as Cedrick glared at her, his heart twitched."Are you done?" Perhaps she was crying, her lashes were wet, but she was stubbornly staring at him. "Let me go if you are done. You don't want your son to see this, do you?""You don't deserve to talk about my son!"Her actions w
She was strolling down the streets like a ghost, trying to look for the closest hotel.She smiled weakly. She could not go home in this state, or else Miles would be traumatized.She grabbed her crumpled pajamas, perhaps with a little too much strength than necessary, and her heart spasmed.She stood still, hands still on her collar, breathing hard, trying to heal her pain. She did not want to cry, but she could not resist and sob.Finally, her sobs turned into a soft wail, and then she was crying her lungs out.She sounded extra pathetic on the empty street.She wished it was just a bad dream. When she woke up, there would be no Cedrick, no David, only her and her two cute babies…"Why are you crying, pretty girl?" Suddenly, some drunkards appeared. "Don't worry…"The men were making disrespectful remarks while approaching Catelyn. Catelyn realized something was wrong, wiped her tears, turned, and ran away. However, her body was sore, and she could barely move an inch.Sudd
A group of servants was discussing the situation. Finally, Albert got connected to Nandose Villa's landline. Cedrick would still listen to Janice. Albert could not care what time it was.Soon, the phone was picked up by someone. However, it was not Janice. It was, instead, Maia.Maia had been quiet ever since she got her lesson from her father. She also kept in contact with Richard while coming over to keep Janice company from time to time. Of course, Maia would not give up on Cedrick easily. She was just waiting for a better time.That night, she heard that Janice's migraine was hurting again, so she came to give her a massage. She did not expect to hear this in the middle of the night!This was such good news to her!Albert was stunned. "Miss Clark?""Albert, is Cedrick still in the wine cellar? How is he doing? He has gastric. The doctor said he could not take alcohol! Is Catelyn taking care of him?"Maia sounded concerned and anxious, and then she started acting again.
The wine cellar was locked from the inside and could not be opened from the outside…Maia instructed for the door to be axed open!The wine cellar was maintained at a cool temperature all year long and was very dimly lit. On the bar sat a tall man leaning against the counter. He was gulping on the wine, one glass after another. He looked extra sober and not at all drunk. His stomach was hurting excruciatingly. Maia secretly cussed that he was not drunk.However, she put on her worried face and strode across. Her eyes were watery, and she said with concern, "Cedrick, why are you drinking this much? Catelyn does not appreciate you. You still have me, and I will stay by your side forever…""F*ck off…"Cedrick was still saying the same two words. He rose and wanted to leave the cellar. Perhaps he was drunk, and perhaps it was his stomach, he stumbled as soon as he stood up."Watch out." Maia tried to hold him.Cedrick's long arms flung and pushed her away. His motion was
Maia flipped her hair lazily and smiled. "Ollie, I will be your mummy soon. Are you happy?""No, you are not my mummy! I only have one mummy, and that is Aunt Catelyn!"Ollie looked past her into the room.The door was left ajar. Ollie pursed his lips, not caring about his lost slipper, and immediately dashed into the room. Maia was shocked. She pulled the door as though trying to cover something up.Nevertheless, Ollie was rather agile. His tiny hand pushed the door, and it opened up immediately. There was only one bright light in the room, so bright that it blurred his vision.The worst part was that Cedrick was lying on the humongous bed with half his body naked under the duvet.A man's and a woman's clothes were scattered all over the floor.Ollie took two steps back in shock.Father and Maia slept on the same bed!He asked Albert before how he came about and why did his mother abandon him.Albert was not very clear about it. However, he remembered very vividly that A
Maia glared at him. Earlier, she served him the pick-me-up and thought she could coax him into drinking it. However, he looked sober but was, in fact, very drunk right from the start.…The morning sun shone in. 'Pretty girl, why are you crying?''Don't worry…'The hysterical and presumptuous laugh rang in her ears again. Catelyn was lying on her bed, still trapped in the nightmare. "No!"She sprang up from her bed, gasping for air, panting.She also accidentally pulled on the wounds on her forehead and shoulders.The pain woke her up, and she realized there was a tube in her veins. The wound on her forehead had been treated.She was at a place that she was unfamiliar with.Where is this?"Miss Clark, you are finally awake," a man with a deep voice said.She looked in the direction of the voice. She saw David, with Winnie following behind him, walking toward her. He was smiling lightly, and his gaze was gentle under his framed glasses. Nevertheless, Catelyn was not p
"You…"Winnie wanted to say something but was stopped by David. "Winnie, let Miss Clark finish her sentence."Catelyn knew that without David's greenlight, she could never leave this place. This looked like his private residence. She tried to compose herself so that she could calm down."Did you plant those races there last night?"David did not deny it, instead said, "If they hurt you, I will punish them for you.""I am not aware that I am so important. You could punish your most loyal associates just for me. Aren't you afraid that you hurt their feelings?"David slowly walked to the tea table and poured a glass of water for himself. He took a small sip and said, "Who would know that it was me?""Of course, you are Nine. I am impressed by how ruthless you are."Catelyn could roughly guess what happened and did not want to beat around the bush anymore. She looked straight into David's eyes and said, "You would not save me without any reason. Tell me, what do you want?"S
