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

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

He held her hand and kissed it gently, his rough stubbles tickling her smooth skin. “You can just tell them
that I’m your boyfriend.”
Catelyn’s eyelids shuddered. She was tempted to retrieve her hand but suppressed the urge and instead
cupped his face in her hand.
“They’re still sleeping. I’ll tell them soon, though.”

earnestly added, “I don’t plan on keeping this on the down-low.”
Catelyn did not expect him to be so straightforward and open about it. ‘Don’t all wealthy young men

Catelyn paused for a brief moment before she smiled and said suggestively, “My house isn’t appropriate.
You’ve seen it yourself; it’s a pretty small place. Let’s just go to yours, okay? I’ve never seen your house,
of course, but…am I welcomed?”
Cedrick paused and looked deeply into her eyes. “That would be my pleasure.” Cedrick extended his
arms out and said, “Can I have a hug before we say goodbye?” Catelyn did not reject and drew herself
