Chapter 508
Cedrick’s frown deepened.
The florist must have made a bad recommendation. Red roses probably were not Catelyn’s favorite.
Cedrick took Catelyn to a giant cruise ship for dinner.
The luxurious ship with blue-and-white stripes sailed in the sea, rolling up the waves as it moved.
Catelyn followed Cedrick to the cruise’s deck as her black wide-leg pants flapped in the wind.
The moment she set foot on the cruise ship, melodious soothing saxophone music played.
The sky had not darkened. Still, the ship was already full of candles and the light illuminated the entire hull.
Due to the strong sea breeze, the candles were covered in glasses, which added a bit of fantasticality to the deck.
The dim candlelight set off the beautifully furnished deck and the red carpet that extended from the deck to the
dining room in the inner cabin. In the dining room, a plain white dining table was decorated with beautiful roses and
lilies, overflowing with romance.
“Master Cedrick, Miss Clark, it’s time for dinner.” The waiter led the two of them to their seats as he spoke.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtRed wine steak, Franch foie gras, and appetizing snacks were ready on the table. The environment and lighting
were in the perfect state that any couple could ask for.
Everything was impeccable.
To Catelyn, it all felt like an ordinary candlelight dinner and enjoyed herself. However, in the next instant, she saw
Cedrick stand up from his seat and slowly walk toward her…with a small black ring box in his hand.
He then opened the ring box, revealing a ring with fireworks as its motive.
Catelyn could not help but stare at the ring.
‘Isn’t this the design I drafted for the Chandier Jewelry competition?’ she asked herself.
She could not believe the ring in front of her at that very moment was a finished product of her design!
“Although the setup isn’t beautiful enough, it still fits your definition of sincerity. Catelyn, marry me,” a deep,
magnetic male voice fell into her ears.
Catelyn raised her eyes to meet Cedrick’s deep gaze filled with incomprehensible affection.
Her heartbeat suddenly accelerated.
At the same time, a thin layer of tears involuntarily accumulated in her eyes.
No matter how much she had missed and hated him, she could have sworn she heard an angel’s voice telling her to
accept his proposal.
She desperately took a deep breath, suppressed the emotions that were about to spill out of her, and indifferently
spat, “I won’t.”
Cedrick seemed to have expected that she would refuse and stared at her with his darkened eyes. “What
am I not doing enough?”
“It’s not that you aren’t doing enough; it’s that I can’t do it.” Catelyn bit her lower lip shamefully as her face paled in
the candlelight. “I often think of that night that happened half a month ago, and I’d always think of myself as filthy.
You are Master Cedrick of the Mason family. There’s no woman you couldn’t get if you want.”
So it’s still about that night…’Cedrick mused.
Bitterness flashed across Cedrick’s eyes.
“It takes guts to be your wife. Everyone from the Mason family and the Clark family, including your elders, has their
eyes on me!
“I don’t want that one day, when someone digs up my past and finds out about the scandals, they’ll tell my two
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmsons that their mother isn’t worthy!
“I feel inferior. I don’t have the confidence and courage-”
Cedrick suddenly held her hands and pressed them tightly against his chest. “Do you feel it? This heart is beating
violently because of you.”
“No matter what you are thinking right now, stop for me. I only allow you to say yes to me!
“Everything that happened in the past isn’t your fault, and I don’t care! Unless you still hate what I did to you, these
scandals are just excuses you’re using to reject me!”
The air seemed to have thinned out. She was almost unable to think and speak.
“It’s not an excuse! I’m serious!” Catelyn felt her nose tingling sorely as she refuted. She could not pull her hands
back. “From the very beginning, we’ve been tangled in lies and deceit, and there is a huge disparity in terms of
background and temperament…”
After a pause, her tone shifted into what sounded like unforgiveness. “Did you rig George and his family’s
business?”
