"What do you mean?" asked Catelyn.Cedrick gave her an ambiguous expression and coldly replied, "You ran out of the VSA Company building all mopey. Did someone bully you?"She knew it. Cedrick had Eason look out for her!"The grass isn't greener on the other side. Those who look down on Amaricans will pay for it," said Catelyn.Cedrick lowered his face while listening to her. "I'm here now," he said.He meant that he could help her out.However, Catelyn did not seem to understand what he meant and instead asked, "Didn't you say that you were going away for a week?""Those two boys didn't want to see me, so I had to come back early," said Cedrick after a moment of silence.Catelyn snorted. She tilted her head and pretended to sleep.Cedrick had an urge to shake her awake, but when his eyes swept across the layer of faint bruises under the corner of her eyes, he stopped.A trace of self-humiliation rose in Cedrick's heart.When did he become so paranoid about losing her?…S
"Bring the slippers to me," said Cedrick.Miles was stunned at this, and it was evident on his face.Cedrick changed into Catelyn's lady's slippers.These shoes were two sizes larger than Catelyn's usual size, but it was still too small for Cedrick's feet.He glanced at the pink-colored slippers. Moments later, he quickly withdrew his gaze and kindly spoke to the boys, "Let's go horseback riding next weekend."Miles' large black eyes flashed with hope as he muttered under his breath, "You stretched out Mommy's shoes. If you didn't wash your feet, they're probably getting stinky now!""Father's feet don't sweat, and they don't stink," Ollie subconsciously explained.Miles immediately glared at him.What a traitor. He was bought so easily!Ollie quickly defended himself, "I'm just telling the truth.""Traitor!" exclaimed Miles."I'm only three-and-a-half years old, so I'm not ashamed even if I'm a scumbag," Ollie's face was sullen as he answered solemnly, which only irked Mile
Catelyn wanted to drive Cedrick away, but he could use the two boys as an excuse that they forced him to stay.Cedrick went to the bathroom to take a shower, and the sound of water running was heard.At that moment, Catelyn had just finished telling her bedtime stories to Miles and Ollie. When she came out to the living room, she suddenly remembered the USB flash drive that Edwin gave her before he left.She recalled that he told her to take it out and look at what was inside in moments she was unhappy.Catelyn immediately returned to the guest bedroom, rummaged through her handbag, and found a silver-white USB flash drive inside.She took her laptop and went to the living room.After the drive was read, a dozen videos popped up in the folder.All the videos were different. Some were very dark, some were taken in a bar, and some were from a hotel.One thing they had in common is that they seemed to be recorded from an obscure, secretive angle.Catelyn was a little curious abou
The bathrobe slid down Cedrick's slender body, revealing his perfect eight-pack abs.The smell of his aftershave and the strong scent of testosterone hung in the air.Catelyn froze, holding the laptop tightly in her arms."You... Why are you taking off your clothes?""Don't you want to be happy?" said Cedrick as he slowly approached Catelyn, his hands resting on both ends of the sofa above her head. "Tell me: how can I make you happy?"He leaned over slightly.The two were so close to each other that Catelyn could see his long eyelashes clearly.Catelyn did not even bother to wear her slippers as she tilted her head and took a few steps back.Her heartbeat was racing off the tracks."The woman in this video was the colleague who framed me! I was just thinking about how to get revenge on her…" muttered Catelyn.Cedrick did not speak and just stared straight at her. She could not tell if he believed her words.Not wanting to talk about Amy and the whole mess about her conflict
A sturdy body unexpectedly got into her bed at some point."Why are you here?" Horrified, Catelyn clenched the quilt in horror and shrank into the corner of the bed while she frantically checked her clothes.The button on her neckline was a little crooked. Nothing happened, apparently.Catelyn could have sworn she had locked the door!Cedrick sat up from the bed, somewhat in a daze. His gaze seemed unfocused as he looked at Catelyn for a moment and said, "Why are you yelling? Just get back to sleep."Catelyn was stunned. "Get out! Get out now!"She kicked Cedrick's waist and belly, but he quickly grabbed her ankle.The entire house was dark, save only the moonlight that peered through the windows.Cedrick involuntarily rubbed her toes with his fingertips. Catelyn tried desperately to pull her feet back, but he was so strong that she could not even move. She could only stare at him fiercely.Catelyn used to sleep together with the two boys. However, due to her working overtime
Catelyn slammed the pillow against Cedrick with all her might.She never imagined herself to be this angry.After a while, Catelyn started losing her strength and sat back on the bed, panting.Cedrick removed the pillow and revealed his wicked, handsome face. He stared at the girl sitting opposite him as the moonlight illuminated the room faintly.He wanted to reach out and take her hand, but Catelyn shook him away.Cedrick's expression faltered slightly at this. She would not let him touch her, so he stubbornly grabbed her small hand.Catelyn struggled. After a series of pulling and shoving, all she got were sweaty palms.When she noticed that Cedrick was not paying attention for a few seconds, Catelyn scratched his face with her nails, causing him to bleed.Cedrick sucked in a breath of cold air as his face burned in pain."It hurts..." Catelyn's heart was beating like a drum as she suddenly palmed her lower abdomen in pain.Cedrick was worried that she might have exerted t
Before Miles could do anything, however, Cedrick suddenly opened his eyes. "What are you trying to do?"Startled, Miles accidentally dropped the watercolor pen on Cedrick, smearing a long black line on his chest.Cedrick suddenly remembered back then when he was in Ocean Path Residence, his face was used as a drawing board, painted with childish graffiti.Not realizing what happened, he returned to Mason Estate with that face. His servants even laughed at him!"So it's you?!"Miles' mouth widened in horror. Cedrick was about to do something!He tried slipping away, but Cedrick was faster as he quickly grabbed him by the arm.…What awoke Catelyn was not the sound of her alarm clock but was, instead, her son's cry from the living room.She quickly got up and opened the door.She saw Miles laying on Cedrick's lap. His cute underwear was pulled down a little above his knees, revealing his fair buttocks.Miles turned his face down and was struggling desperately, but he was no ma
Miles nestled into Catelyn's arms. While she was not paying attention, he secretly gave Cedrick a dirty smirk.Cedrick was speechless. That boy was a complete brat!Miles was nothing like a regular three-and-a-half-year-old!Staring at Catelyn and Miles with his deep eyes, Cedrick pursed his thin lips tightly and said nothing.Catelyn frowned. She squatted in front of Miles and asked earnestly, "What happened just now?""Big Demon bullied me." Miles shrewdly changed the subject and pouted. "My butt hurts. I know I won't be able to sit well today…"Although Catelyn was on Miles' side and called out Cedrick for spanking him, she would not condone it if he was in the wrong."I saw a watercolor ink line on your father's chest. Did you do that?" she asked.Miles pursed his lips.Ollie looked around on the sofa and spotted a black watercolor pen. His eyebrows raised as he finally understood why Cedrick was so angry.Miles felt that perhaps he went a little overboard with his action
