The next moment, Catelyn stretched out her hands and pushed him away fiercely. "Go away," she spat with a disgusted expression on her face.Cedrick rammed against the counter as he was shoved back. He looked back at her blankly, but there was no anger on his face."Aunt Jessie told me that Maia had been here," he said. "Do you believe her when she told you that I’ve touched her and let her have my child?""That's your business." Catelyn bit her lower lip stubbornly and continued to walk out.Cedrick frowned slightly and chased after her irritatedly. "Catelyn, let me explain!"Catelyn looked at him coldly. "Get out of the way."Cedrick's expression faltered. He continued explaining to her while walking along her side, looking out for the stairs ahead to go down with her. However, Catelyn just got more aggressive.Cedrick’s eyes darkened."I said I’ve never touched Maia! She's lying, and the child in her womb is not mine! Don't you believe me?""Why should I?" Catelyn looked at
"No, I don't want to hear it!" cried Maia, intuitively knowing that she would not want to hear what Cedrick was about to tell her. "In two months, we can have an amniocentesis to verify the child's DNA. That'll prove that this child is yours!"Cedrick looked at her coldly. "After Ollie was left in Mason Estate, I had a ligation operation. How dare you say that the child is mine?"Four years ago, Cedrick was tricked by Edwin, who mistakenly thought he had a one-night stand with Maia.A few months later, Ollie suddenly appeared at the gates of Mason Estate.All these incidents got to Cedrick's nerves. To avoid things like this from happening again, he underwent a ligation operation in a fit of anger. Ever since then, he had not done any recanalization.This was also the reason why he misunderstood that the child Catelyn was carrying belonged to another man.Because of his sterilization, Catelyn could not possibly have his children!"Ligature?" Maia felt as though she had been dous
Why did Richard appear at such bad timing? What was he talking about with Cedrick?!"Richard, I'm very grateful to you for taking care of me during this time, but the only person I like is Ceddy, and it's not your place to interfere in the affairs between the two of us. I don't want to ever see you again!" Maia shoved Eason's hands away and raised her cheeks, saying to Cedrick, "Ceddy, let's go."Moments later after Cedrick and Maia disappeared…Slam! Richard smashed the lunch box in his hand to the ground.His scarlet eyes were filled with hatred like a surging wave.She was obviously his woman and carrying his child, but she refused to give him a straight look!Richard snarled Cedrick's name under his breath.…The sound of the car turning off its ignition was heard from outside of the castle.That evening, Catelyn personally cooked some authentic Amarican food for Miles and Ollie, who enjoyed their food wholeheartedly.At this time, Aunt Jessie walked in. She first glanced
At that moment, Catelyn could not help but think of what happened that very haunting night.She was cowering in fear In the dark, unfamiliar environment. She begged Cedrick for mercy!Did he think he could just send her back the next day and pretend that nothing happened?"What do you want me to say? Are you too embarrassed to admit what you did?" said Catelyn.Cedrick grabbed her wrist and stared at her, squeezing every word out through gritted teeth, "What are you talking about? What have I done to you? Also, I brought Maia here to tell you that I got sterilized, and her child isn't mine!""So what if the child isn't yours?" scoffed Catelyn. "Did you know that Ollie bumped into you two frolicking around? Don't you think this is very traumatizing for a three-and-a-half-year-old? You can do whatever you want with other women, but stay away from my son!"Cedrick was stunned for a moment, his eyes filled with darkness. Then, he turned his head and looked at Maia.That night, Cedri
Cedrick did not even care that Maia fell on the sofa earlier. His ignorance toward her broke her heart.How could Catelyn have won Cedrick's heart? Was it because of Miles and Ollie?…Catelyn did not want to continue a meaningless confrontation with Cedrick.As soon as she turned her head, Cedrick unexpectedly grabbed her by the wrist and pulled her into his arms with ease. His sturdy chest cling tightly to Catelyn, and his warm lips brushed against her eardrum."I've got someone to book a flight to Las Vegars the day after tomorrow, and we'll go there and register for marriage," said Cedrick."Cedrick, do you like me?" Catelyn interrupted him.He thought for a while. If Catelyn was willing to spend the rest of her life with him, he would not reject it."It's more than just liking you," Cedrick said gently.Hearing his answer, Catelyn gritted her teeth, feeling that she was about to lose her breath. She pursed her dry lips and asked, "In that case, are you willing to help me?
"I'm sorry…but right now, you've already lost me," Catelyn declared coldly.A wave of despair grew and spread from the bottom of her heart as she spoke, spreading to her limbs and bones."Take back what you've said." Cedrick frowned tightly. He grabbed Catelyn's shoulders and shook her. "You've already agreed to my proposal, and you're wearing my ring! I won't allow you to go back on it!""From the moment you deceived me, I can't take it back anymore!" cried Catelyn. "If your goal is to torture me like this, then congratulations, you've succeeded!"Even after her family broke down four years ago, even after all the remorse of getting married to Jamie, Catelyn was never this deep in agony.She felt as if her heart had been crushed."You thought I was the only one torturing you. What about you? Didn't you torture me?" Cedrick's eyes narrowed in agitation.He kicked the coffee table beside his feet, and the items on it fell and scattered all over the floor.Cedrick grabbed Catelyn
However, Catelyn did not see Eason or Cedrick around. She immediately sneered and said, "Cedrick sent you guys here?"The bodyguard formally replied, "There have been a lot of criminal activities in Franche recently. Master Cedrick is worried for your safety, so he sent us here for your protection.""My children are back in the castle. Can't I go back now?" argued Catelyn as her smirk became colder and thinner.The bodyguard said, "The two young masters are doing fine in the castle. Don't worry, Miss Clark."How ironic.Catelyn had taken off the ring to express her remorse for the marriage, and all of a sudden, Cedick was imprisoning her?"Please tell Cedrick that he has done an exceptional job. If he could, try locking me up for the rest of his life."With that, she slammed the door harshly.No amount of pain and sadness could level her anger at the moment.Catelyn always thought she could be braver, but the truth taught her what delusion was.Catelyn wanted to call someone
"Does Mommy know about this?" Ollie's eyes became rounder with an unnatural expression on his face.Cedrick rubbed his fingers, and the faint smell of smoke lingered between his lips and teeth. "I'm asking you, why didn't you tell me about this?""I..." stammered Ollie."Big Demon, have you been with another woman?" Miles was stunned for a moment, as though he had suffered a huge blow. "What about Mommy? What about Mommy?!""What are you talking about? Nothing happened between us," said Cedrick coldly.Ollie struggled with his thoughts for a moment before concluding that he had indeed seen Maia coming out of Cedrick's room that one fateful night.He retorted, "Father, I saw everything! Stop making excuses!"Cedrick's slender body straightened abruptly, and there seemed to be a strong sense of oppression in the air."I've said that nothing happened. What do you know? You're just a kid! Stop talking to me about this ever again!" growled Cedrick. He picked up his black suit jacket
