Chapter 218
Chapter 218 Cedrick, Benjamin, and Catelyn looked elegant in their suits and dress respectively, so much so that they attracted the attention of many guests in the hall along the way. Catelyn simply took off her hair tie and let her hair down and simulated a calmer, more composed version of herself.
They were walking toward the elevator on the second floor when they heard a waiter apologetically explaining to a middle-aged woman in a purple dress, “Miss Coleman, I’m truly sorry. The private room where you often dine in has been reserved by another gentleman. Can I arrange another room for you?” Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
“That’s fine. It’s also my fault that I didn’t call ahead to make an appointment,” said the woman with a soft voice, without any hint of anger. The waiter immediately breathed a sigh of relief. “Thank you for your understanding, Miss Coleman. Please, come this way!”
“Aunt Janice?” Cedrick could recognize the purple dress even from a distance. It was a gift for her last year.
Janice heard the familiar voice and turned her head slowly. The smile on the corner of her mouth had not been drawn to the fullest the moment she saw Catelyn on Cedrick’s side, both holding hands.
“Aunt Janice,” greeted Benjamin. He knew her personally. “Hello Miss Coleman,” said Catelyn. She felt awkward holding hands with Cedrick. She tried to withdraw her hand, but he was holding it too tightly! Instead, with Janice around, Cedrick seemed to grip her hand even harder as if he was trying to show her deliberately.
“Ah, it seems that Miss Coleman and Master Cedrick know each other,” said the waiter in a
Cedrick. Why don’t…you all share the room and dine together?”
Janice maintained a polite smile, her eyes slowly moving up along the clasped hands of the two and eventually landing on Catelyn’s face. “Miss Clark, do you mind?”
“Of course not!” Catelyn hurriedly responded with a smile. Janice was Cedrick’s aunt, and they shared a close bond. How could she refuse? Benjamin noticed the interaction between Janice and Catelyn, and he simply gave Cedrick a wink and left quietly.
Catelyn’s composure quickly dissipated. She would much rather be with Benjamin than with Janice!
The private room on the second floor was one of Janice’s favorite places to dine. She enjoyed the transparent layout and the blooming flowers around the room. There was also a faint fragrant smell in the atmosphere.

Janice looked at Catelyn calmly. This was the scheming girl, she thought. She had only not seen her for a few days, and she had already gotten out with Cedrick publicly. Janice remembered Catelyn only being Cedrick’s employee back then. “Kitty’… Can I call you that?” asked Janice as she handed a teacup to Catelyn with a smile. “Yes, of course! As long as you don’t dislike it,” said Catelyn flatteringly. She hurriedly got up and took the teapot and cup from Janice. “This teapot is quite heavy. Let me take it for you.” Janice let go of the teapot as Catelyn took it over.
Janice looked at Catelyn as she was pouring tea. The windbreaker she was wearing was the latest fashion style from Bulberry, which had just arrived on the shelves of Sapphire City in the past few days. The brand of her inner lining could not be seen, but the soft texture of the fabric gave the impression that it must be something of high value.
Catelyn’s whole outfit may not be very expensive, but compared to the night when Janice first saw her when she was wearing cheap goods, she looked so much different! “Don’t call me Miss Coleman; just call me Aunt Janice.”
“Alright, Aunt Janice,” said Catelyn.
“Ceddy, you should’ve received a notice by now. Grandpa Mason is asking that you bring Mai back to the house to talk about the marriage. Perhaps it’s time for you to give him an explanation,” said Janice softly as she looked at Cedrick.
