Catelyn grew nervous when she heard Cedrick’s response. “You’re waiting for my son?”
“We’ve been together for some time, and you’ve been to Mason Estate as well. However, I don’t recall meeting your son in person.” Cedrick studied her panicked expression and frowned. “Is it too abrupt for me to suddenly visit today?”
“Of course it is! My son—”
“No worries, he won’t mind. I came with a present.”
Catelyn wanted to argue, but Cedrick did not give her a chance to decline as he pulled her into the premises.
Catelyn’s temples were suddenly pulsing. Drats! She never expected Cedrick to suddenly visit. She then tried to make excuses to stop Cedrick from going up to her apartment, even using her body to impede his progress. “I haven’t cleaned my place the past few days, and it’s horrendous now. I’ll help give your gift to Miles. How about we go out for some good food?”
In the lift, Catelyn coquettishly held Cedrick by his arm and added, “There is a new restaurant downstairs, and I’ve heard good things about it! I’d love to try it out, Ced…”
Cedrick looked at her body leaning against his, his eyes pensive.
All this while, she had been avoiding him, yet all of a sudden, she clung to him without any prompts. Was she scared, or was she guilty of something else?
“I’ll take your silence as a yes. Let me make a reservation online, alright? You’re the best!”
Catelyn fished out her phone, but before she could turn on her device, a big palm snatched her phone from her. Catelyn stamped down her bubbling anxiety as she shot him a questioning look. She stood on her toes as she tried to grab it back from him. However, Cedrick was just too tall.
He then swung his arm to the side, and Catelyn could not reach her phone at all. Instead, she lost her balance because she was too desperate to get it back, and fell into his chest.
“Why are you not allowing me to go to your home?” Cedrick ignored her struggles and stretched one arm out past her head. His body leaned slightly forward, supported by his hand that slammed against the wall behind her. Catelyn was trapped between his warm chest and the wall, unable to move away from his predatory gaze. Catelyn’s long lashes trembled. However, when she spoke, she sounded affectionate like
baby. “I didn’t let you in because it was too messy, and I…didn’t manage to clean up. I didn’t want to ruin my perfect image in your impression. Quick, let me have my phone back.” Cedrick listened to her but only smiled coldly. “Or, are you hiding a man at home and are afraid to let me bump into him?” Catelyn’s smile froze.
A man? What nonsense was he talking about? The most she was hiding…was a little boy!
The next moment, Cedrick took a step forward. His large form stuck up to Catelyn’s intimately. He leaned forward and ran his lips to caress her earlobe lightly, causing Catelyn’s breath to hitch.
She held him by his wrist, pretending to be calm as she looked into Cedrick’s eyes. “You’re just being oversensitive. I’ll never forget about our deal! You’re Miles’ and I’s savior, and as long as you don’t call it off, I’ll always be yours. “Still, my home is really…really…” Her voice got softer and softer when met with Cedrick’s piercing gaze, as though he was able to see it right through her, giving her no room to lie. “If there is nothing to be guilty of, let me in.” Cedrick’s lips curved upward in a half smile. His long hands stroked her long hair gently.
