Chapter 213 “Do you say these things to other women, too?” Cedrick’s eyes darkened as he stared into hers. “Are you jealous?” “No,” replied Catelyn, softly yet firmly, her gaze cast downward. Catelyn would never fall for him; she was only doing it for her children. It did not bother her how many women he had. She would never be jealous of him. Why would she, anyway?
“If it’s not jealousy, are you flustered?” Cedrick curved his lips into a mischievous smile, but his gaze was cold. “I don’t want to talk about these things with you. I’m hungry. Can we order take-out?”
Cedrick smiled lightly and replied, “I’ve already ordered some, they’ll be here soon.”
His phone rang immediately after. The food Cedrick ordered had arrived. Different dishes-vegetables and meat skillet, soup, meat skewers-filled up the table. “Take anything you like.” Catelyn was stunned at the sight and replied, “I’ll just have some soup. I might have to trouble you to send me home later, cause I…don’t feel too good.”
Cedrick, of course, would never reject her.
The small hours just before dawn were the darkest and quietest hours. The street was vacant with no cars or pedestrians in sight. Catelyn was wearing the set of clothing that Cedrick had bought her. It was a long trench coat in sky blue, fitting for the current weather and temperature.
The car stopped in front of Ocean Path Residence.
Catelyn got out of the car.
“I’ll walk you up,” offered Cedrick, all while staring at the guard by the doorway.
“Not today. My mother and Miles are home,” declined Catelyn gently as she stopped Cedrick from getting out of the car.
