Chapter 389
“You…”
Winnie wanted to say something but was stopped by David. “Winnie, let Miss Clark finish her
sentence.”
Catelyn knew that without David’s greenlight, she could never leave this place.
This looked like his private residence.
She tried to compose herself so that she could calm down. “Did you plant those races there last night?”
David did not deny it, instead said, “If they hurt you, I will punish them for you.” “I am not aware that I
am so important. You could punish your most loyal associates just for me. Aren’t you afraid that you
hurt their feelings?”

said, “Who would know that it was me?”
“Of course, you are Nine. I am impressed by how ruthless you are.”
Catelyn could roughly guess what happened and did not want to beat around the bush anymore.
She looked straight into David’s eyes and said, “You would not save me without any reason. Tell me,
what do you want?” She was out of reach to the Project Castle in the City, but he was still keeping her
around. He must have some other intentions.
“Don’t you think so badly of me. We both share the same purpose.”
David placed his glass down on the table, and the refreshing taste of the water lingered in his mouth.
Catelyn was even more guarded to have heard this.
However, after a long pause, she said tentatively, “I just wanted to leave Sapphire City with my sons.”
David did not say a word. Nonetheless, his smile grew wider. The light glare made him look even more
mysterious.
He asked Catelyn to have a good rest and did not forget to add, “I would send your son to reunite with
you later.”
Cedrick could not really remember what happened after he came out of the cellar.
He briefly remembered that he had a dream about Catelyn.
Cedrick rubbed his forehead. He turned around and accidentally touched someone. A strong scent
wafted toward him, and he was immediately wide awake.
He saw a woman lying next to him.
“Cedrick, you’re awake.” Maia woke up too. She was holding the corner of the duvet and looked at
Cedrick shyly.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHer gaze was full of affection and anticipation.
“Why are you here?” His tone was cold.
Maia’s expressions were awkward for a split second, then she took one hand out from the blanket,
stroked lovingly across Cedrick’s chest, and said, “You are so naughty. You pulled me into your bed,
don’t you remember?”
Cedrick flung her hand away in reflex. He frowned and stood up, his pants on the floor already soiled.
He took out a fresh pair from the closet and took one cold glance at Maia. “Put on your clothes and
leave. Nothing happened between us.”
Maia could no longer hold the smile on her face. “However, last night we… You were hugging me,
shouting Catelyn’s name…” Cedrick was not certain if he had done something out of the line last night.
He dreamt about Catelyn, but his brain was heavy. “Ced, I know there were many things that I did
wrong before, but I am willing to make amends.”
