Chapter 47
Catelyn could not quite move and pouted in impatience before trying to move away to rest. “You’re not as
cute as my baby.”
Cedrick grabbed her by the wrist and, like a swift leopard, grabbed her by the knees and pulled her back.
He scanned her from head to toe under the bright light, and she gaped in surprise. Her face was as red
as the color of blood itself, and when her doe-like eyes widened, her pink lips opened slightly as though
silently inviting him to close their distance.
The two were inches away from each other, and the familiar sensation that tingled Cedrick’s palms
reminded him of the chaotic night four years ago.
Four years ago, Edwin had added an unknown substance into his drink, and as they clinked their
glasses, Cedrick took it by accident. How could he not submit to the effect?
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAfter beating Edwin up, he went upstairs to the hotel to rest in hopes he could white knuckle through the
effect.
It was then a woman barged into his room.
Cedrick, at that point, was on the brink of losing control and thought that Edwin had
sent him a woman.
Everything that followed came naturally in the dark room, and ever since then, he fell in love with the
scent of gardenias.
When he woke up the next morning, he was alone in bed with only a stain of blood next to him, one that
symbolized the innocence of a woman. After that, he even received a call from Edwin, who made fun of
him.
That was when he realized that he had laid his hands on the wrong person.
He immediately went to check the surveillance footage to find out who got into his room, but because the
hotel happened to be upgrading its system, the footage of the
past seven days had all been erased.
Along the line, Cedrick ordered the fragrance manufacturing department in his company to manufacture
the fragrance ‘No. 520’, which symbolized the room number where he had stayed that night. He played
the commercial everywhere in the city in hopes of finding the girl from that night, letting her know he was
not an irresponsible man.
He wanted to make it up to her.
Finally, two months later, Maia came to him and described everything of that night in great detail.
Cedrick checked the surveillance footage of smaller shops near the hotel and, true enough, spotted Maia
walking into the hotel. Everything checked out and proved that Maia was telling the truth…but no matter
how many times he tried, he could not seem to feel interested in her.
Cedrick had thought that perhaps some feelings were only meant to exist in the dark.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmTo his surprise, even though the scent of gardenias Catelyn had was different from the scent from the
night four years ago and that she had birthed a child, Cedrick could not but feel that Catelyn was that
woman from four years ago all along.
Just as Cedrick’s lips were about to land on Catelyn’s –
Burp!
Catelyn abruptly let a deafening burp rip out of her, shattering the romantic atmosphere instantly.
Cedrick glared at Catelyn, who had already fallen asleep. He desperately wanted to throw her into a
freezing bathtub to sober her up, and to wake himself up as well.
Despite not being drunk, he felt inexplicably intoxicated.
‘Catelyn Clark, you’re just a woman who gave birth to a child for the likes of Jamie Mason. Who are you
to deserve my attention?’ he scoffed internally.
The next morning, Catelyn woke up with a headache from a hangover, and her head felt like it was about
to explode. Just then, someone knocked on the door from outside.
