"Had I not treated you well all these? You only wanted me dead!"He had mustered all his strength and channeled it onto his palm, Maia's face almost dislocated from receiving the slap. Everything fell silent. Maia could feel her blood boiling in her vessels. She looked at Richard in disbelief. "You slapped me? How dare you slap me? I could kill your child right now! I… I…"Before she could finish her sentence, she felt her head heavy. She did not manage to catch her last breath and passed out immediately. The police officers saw this and immediately came forward to control the situation. Richard pushed the police away and then held Maia in his arms affectionately, not allowing anyone to get near to them. He muttered, "Why did you never love me? I had always loved you…"The police officers exchanged looks. They were not moved by the scene at all but only felt it spooky. …That night, Cedrick received a message.Richard was caught and sent to prison. Maia was sent to the pri
"I did not expect that either."She was not as shocked before, even with the previous incident of the billboard crash. After all, if he were fast enough, they would still have a high chance of being injured. This time around, he clearly knew that there was something wrong with the car but still insisted on driving it…She understood clearly that hurting and being touched were two separate matters. Just like contributions and mistakes, they could not be simply set off against each other. Nevertheless, she knew that when he 'resurrected', there was a tiny person in her screaming for her to believe him once again. Therefore, she lost, she lost it to his crazy pursuit. …In the ward next door, Eason and Cedrick were discussing who was behind the kidnap. When he and Charles received the message and rushed to the sharp turn, Cedrick had already fallen from the cliff, and Catelyn was unconscious in the bushes.The other few assassins decided to finish Catelyn first. At the c
Her voice was so soft, like a tiny little brush caressing gently on his heart. Cedrick's heart melted."Fine. May I please ask who is the lady behind me?"Catelyn then released her hands and pinched his cheek revengefully. "Not fun at all."His vision came back to light. Cedrick turned around to see Catelyn pouting and could not help but tease, "How come I never knew that you liked such childish games?"He was suggesting that she was childish! This was just entertainment!Catelyn threw him a scornful look and then pushed him back into the dining room angrily.Back in the dining room, the dining table was already filled with plenty of food. Other than the simple healthy food to help with Cedrick's recovery, there were also a few other dishes that Catelyn usually enjoyed. Even desserts were included. Catelyn had a hard time looking through what was available. Cedrick sat on Catelyn's right side, the both of them sitting so close together. He passed the cutlery to her. "I heard
Splash splash! It felt as though a bucket of water was poured on him. Cedrick's little anticipation in his heart immediately vanished. He gritted his teeth and glared at her. He had indeed not taken a shower in a few days. He was unconscious, and the nurse only wiped his body down a little while he was still unconscious. His handsome face immediately sank.He threw his cutlery away and refused to eat anymore. He controlled his wheelchair, attempting to move in another direction.Catelyn was caught off guard by his reaction. She did not even manage to wipe the oil away from her lips, but hastily asked, "Where are you going?""For a bath!" the man said defiantly.It was already hard enough for him, a hygiene freak, to not have showered for a few days. How could he tolerate when he was loathed by his loved one because of that?Catelyn looked at his gloomy face and could not help but burst out laughing. He believed her?Hearing her laughter, Cedrick turned to look at her dark
When she was about to pour the bath milk into the tub…"What are you doing?" The man in the wheelchair suddenly said with his dark face, giving Catelyn a shock.She shook the bottle of the gardenia-scented bath milk in her hand. "You like gardenia scent, don't you? I am pouring in a little bit of bath milk. I guarantee you will smell great after this.""I only like the gardenia scent on you!"The unintentional remark made Catelyn feel that she could not breathe normally again. Luckily, the bathroom was filled with mist, and her face was red from the steam so that she did not look too odd. She then brought in some essential oils and dripped a few drops of them in the bath water. Cedrick watched as she kneeled next to the bathtub, her white hand swirling slowly in the water, testing the water. When the water was ready, she then went to get a few clean towels. Her eyes accidentally locked onto Cedrick's, which were looking at herself intensely.She was caught off guard. Cat
Cedrick looked at her stubborn face and felt touched. He enjoyed the feeling of being treasured by her. "Fine, it is my fault this time, I should not joke about this, but I really wanted to see you acting shy. Every time you look shy, I feel immensely satisfied."Catelyn was even more annoyed. She twisted the towel forcefully. "Your pleasure is built upon mocking me?"Cedrick looked at her earnestly and said, "Of course not, I am not so low. Plus, I have never teased other women before."Catelyn slammed the towel in his face. "Really? Should I feel proud about it? You bathe yourself then!"Cedrick pulled the towel down from his face and saw Catelyn opening the door on her way out.The door was slammed shut. Cedrick was speechless.Perhaps he spoiled her so much that her temper got shorter now. However, he liked her. Soon, Charles knocked on the bathroom door. He dared not enter right away but waited outside the door."Cedrick, are you alright? Miss Clark asked me to chec
Cedrick rolled his eyes and said, "I heard Granny Atherton found out about your newly purchased mansion?"Edwin was furious about this. Granny Atherton had been forcefully match-making him. He wanted to hide away and therefore purchased a very expensive but private mansion.However, he only moved in for three days before Granny Atherton showed up on his doorstep."If I know which son of a b*tch revealed my secret, I will skin him alive!""Cough…" Charles could not resist and coughed. It seemed that it was Cedrick who allowed him to leak this information.Edwin saw Charles' expression and grinned. "Don't tell me it was the two of you?"Cedrick was not guilty at all. He sipped on his tea casually again. "I bought two mansions in the Dragon Port's new town area, and the keys are with Benjamin. You could go and get it from him."Edwin's eyes lit up. "Dragon Port? There are mountains and waters surrounding the area. It is a rare find! Are you really willing to?""You could pretend
William was stunned. "You? But what we want is to collaborate with Cedrick…""Even though I could not help you collaborate with the Mason Group, VSA Group is already failing to penetrate the western market. I don't think you would mind giving it a try?"William paused and deliberated, and he did not immediately decline Catelyn either. Even though she said they could not collaborate with Cedrick, she had Cedrick behind her anyways. "Let me go back and discuss with my boss.""Sure, but please give me a reply because I will be returning very soon." Catelyn did not hide that from William either.William did not find it strange at all. Her relationship with Cedrick kind of explained that he would not simply let her linger in another country to be a small employee."I will contact you before noon tomorrow."She watched as William left and then looked at the lunch on her plate again, suddenly finding herself having a better appetite. She was just worried about having to find a new
