Chapter 322
Chapter 322
Not only did Catelyn suffer from her family’s bankruptcy, but her relatives made it worse by trampling on her, too. She even gave birth out of wedlock!
Her life was already in shambles. What did it matter if Cedrick wanted to destroy it again?
All Catelyn wanted was to protect her children.
To add to the mix, a mysterious person appeared out of nowhere and threatened her with photos of her two children. She did not even know what the person wanted from her!
What could she do?
She was tired of everything. All Catelyn wanted was to be reunited with her children!
Catelyn shed no tears even as she stared at Cedrick. Her rise in anger caused her blood vessels at her temple to darken and bulge a little.
Her sudden resistance stunned Cedrick.
Ever since that night at the Riverdale Mall, Catelyn had been humbly cautious of him, and she never lost her temper in front of him. Yet, at this moment, it was as if Catelyn was venting out all her suppressed emotions to Cedrick all at once.
Cedrick’s heart raced.
He suddenly grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his arms. Then, he clasped the back of her head with his big palm and seized her lips with his.
When they finally parted, Catelyn’s beautiful cheeks were tinted red as she seemed visibly out of breath.
Cedrick was in no better state than her. “Keep this dirty look of yours away. I’m taking you back to the hospital,” he said to Catelyn.
“You’re shameless…”
She never expected that he would mock her after the kiss.
Holding her breath, she raised her hand and swung it toward Cedrick’s handsome profile. However, she was so weak she could not even summon the strength to do it.
Cedrick easily caught her hand before it could reach him. “Don’t even think about it,” he sneered.

This man downright infuriated her. How she wanted to stab his face with a needle! “Unhand me right now! I’ll go back to the hospital myself.” “Didn’t you hear what I just said? I’ll take you there,” said Cedrick, not giving Catelyn a chance to refuse him. He looked at her and added, “Can you walk? Or would you like me to carry you to the parking lot?” Catelyn became even more furious as her heart burned with anger. “I can walk just fine! I don’t need you to carry me!” she hissed.
Catelyn followed closely behind Cedrick as they arrived at the underground parking lot.
Half an hour had passed since the meeting time between Catelyn and the mysterious person. Should she send him a text? Perhaps she should make another appointment?
As Catelyn was pondering, her phone suddenly rang.
She took the phone out and saw the number on the phone screen…
It was the mysterious man!
Catelyn’s hand shook in fear, so much so that the phone almost fell to the ground. Her pupils shrank as she squeezed the phone tightly in her hand.
Hearing shuffles from behind him, Cedrick turned and saw Catelyn’s nervous face. “Your phone is ringing. Why don’t you answer it?”
