Chapter 193
Catelyn wanted to pull her hand away, but Cedrick was so strong that she could not move, even if she
struggled until her skin turned red.
She became increasingly frustrated as even if he was not threatening her, he was still taking advantage
of her.
“Do you really not care about my past?”
She birthed a child out of wedlock, and her father was a notorious murderer. People of the Clark family
had avoided her like the plague, and for someone like her to survive in the elite community, she might
qualify as a plaything but not at all the type that one would take home to their parents.
still had no clue as to what he meant by it.

to be a wallflower.
“I’m choosing my girlfriend, not a business partner. Besides, I have an illegitimate son as well, don’t I?”
Cedrick smiled as stared at her heatedly. “Unless you mind that I have a son?” “No!” Catelyn’s eyes
widened as she thought back to how adorable Ollie was. “I couldn’t be more fond of him, so how could I
possibly care about that?”
“If you don’t mind it, then prove it to me.” A smug smile formed on Cedrick’s face. ‘Prove it?’ She thought,
‘How am I supposed to prove something like that?’ Catelyn was confused, and as though he had read
her mind, Cedrick deadpanned, “Get together with me and take care of Ollie. That’s the best way to
prove yourself.” Silence had fallen over them to the point they could hear the faint sound of each other’s
breathing. Catelyn gasped in disbelief, realizing that he had said so much only to get her to date him. Her
senses told her that even if she agreed, their relationship would not last under the pressure from the
Clark family and Mason family, and pressure would only mean trouble for Miles.
However, some part of her longed to fight for it, no matter how slim the chances were. Apart from that,
Cedrick promised to help her obtain Miles’ custody.
Her silence was viewed as a rejection of Cedrick. He lifted an eyebrow, and in a cold voice, he said,
“Alright, you don’t have to say anything. I know your answer now.”
“Cedrick, I…” Her heart sank at his words. Her pupils contracted as she desperately tried to say
something to ease the tension, but when she opened her lips, she found herself unable to emulate

Cedrick held onto the steering wheel quietly, waiting for her to continue with anticipation. He
wondered what she had to say, but no matter how long he waited, he did not get the answer that he

He tightened his grip on the steering wheel and said in a hoarse voice, “Catelyn, you may do as you
please for two times because I decided to put up with you, but there won’t be a third time. I hope that you
know you only have one last chance.” Catelyn opened her mouth again, but still, remained silent in the
end.
She had thought that Cedrick would be furious at being rejected and would leave her at the side of the
road, but to her surprise, he asked after half a minute, “Where are you going? I’ll drop you off there.”
“L…” Catelyn glanced hastily at the time. “Miles should be done with school now, and I need to pick him
up. If it’s too much trouble, you can just stop the car in front.” Cedrick glanced at the map on his phone.
“Address.”
