Chapter 509
“Yes!” answered Cedrick, not even second-guessing how quickly he responded.
“As long as he’s willing to leave you, I can give him ten times or even a hundred times the compensation, any time.
Do you expect me to watch you marry him and let my children call another man ‘father’? Impossible!
“It’s fine even if you didn’t accept my proposal tonight; I’ll get rid of all your pursuers no matter what! You said that
you never betrayed me, and you aren’t under the Ninth Master. I’m willing to believe it now, but how about you?
Are you not willing to give me a chance?”
Catelyn stared at him in a daze, suddenly not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
He was still so shameless after what he had done to George and his parents!
“My biggest pursuer is you. Can you get rid of yourself-mmph!”
Cedrick suddenly leaned down and forced a kiss on her cherry lips.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe wanted to tell her that he was the one who dragged her to the small black room that night more than half a
month ago. When he saw her and George together, he was so enraged that he could not help dragging her to
Mason Estate.
Nonetheless, he deeply regretted it afterward, so he pretended that nothing had happened and sent her back
quietly.
With the current situation, telling the truth would only make him more disgusted in her eyes.
“Stop!”
Cedrick’s unconscionable act had hurt Catelyn’s mouth. She was tightly bound by him, unable to move at all.
Shame, anger, low self-esteem, hatred, and countless emotions intertwined. Finally, the air in her lungs seemed to
be drained when Cedrick ended his roguish manhandling.
Cedrick held her tightly to him. His voice was hoarse but gentle as he spoke, “Would you like to make a bet with
me?”
Catelyn’s brain was oxygen-deprived at that moment, making her difficult to think. “What…are you betting on?”
“Within a minute, you won’t refuse to wear this ring.”
Catelyn gradually regained the ability to think, and she sneered when she heard this.
The hand was hers. She could refuse anyone, anytime, and anywhere.
Not to mention, Cedrick wanted to do it in just a minute.
She pushed him away and went to the deck alone for the breeze and fresh air.
Cedrick pursed his thin lips, pinched the ring, and followed, but his eyes fell on the tranquil sea.
The sky was completely dark. As far as anyone could see, there were only sparkles on the sea.
“I know you’re not very good at swimming,” came Cedrick’s voice as he stood beside Catelyn.
This baffled Catelyn. What on earth was he getting at?
Immediately afterward, she noticed his gaze wandering over the sea and her, and he even seemed to reach out as
if to push her.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCatelyn’s eyes widened as stepped back nervously immediately. Was he possibly thinking of revenge, just because
she rejected his proposal?!
“Cedrick, I’m not good at the water. Don’t mess around!”
Cedrick’s black eyes gleamed impishly as he continued to pull her with a half-smile. “It doesn’t matter. You can’t,
but I can.”
Catelyn was so shocked that she could not speak. When his hand was about to reach her arm, she pushed him
harshly by reflex. However, Cedrick did not resist and started to fall.
It was autumn, and the water was very cold. Catelyn thought of the wound on his right arm all of a sudden and
regretted what she had done, so she tried to pull him in horror at that very second.
I’m crazy!’ she yelled internally. To Catelyn’s utter surprise, Cedrick suddenly grabbed her arm and pulled her into
him.
