Chapter 522
Cedrick did not even care that Maia fell on the sofa earlier. His ignorance toward her broke her heart.
How could Catelyn have won Cedrick’s heart? Was it because of Miles and Ollie?
Catelyn did not want to continue a meaningless confrontation with Cedrick.
As soon as she turned her head, Cedrick unexpectedly grabbed her by the wrist and pulled her into his arms with
ease. His sturdy chest cling tightly to Catelyn, and his warm lips brushed against her eardrum.
“I’ve got someone to book a flight to Las Vegars the day after tomorrow, and we’ll go there and register for
marriage,” said Cedrick.
“Cedrick, do you like me?” Catelyn interrupted him.
He thought for a while. If Catelyn was willing to spend the rest of her life with him, he would not reject it.
“It’s more than just liking you,” Cedrick said gently.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHearing his answer, Catelyn gritted her teeth, feeling that she was about to lose her breath. She pursed her dry lips
and asked, “In that case, are you willing to help me? I want you to investigate the person who took advantage of
me that night a month ago.”
Cedrick looked at Catelyn with a heavy gaze. “Of course. I won’t let anyone hurt you.”
Smack!
Catelyn slapped Cedrick across the face and broke free from his embrace, shooting him a spiteful glare.”
Unfortunately, I’ll never trust you again.”
The atmosphere instantly became tense. Cedrick’s face flushed red after Catelyn slapped him.
He turned angry in an instant and stared at her with a burning gaze. “Come again?”
“I’m not marrying you,” snarled Catelyn.
She and Cedrick stood less than a meter apart, but Catelyn felt as if she was much further from him. “The person
who knocked me out and took advantage of me in the castle that night… Was it you?”
Earlier, Catelyn harbored a small gleam of hope. As long as Cedrick was willing to admit and explain himself, maybe
she would be calmer about it.
Alas, he still lied to her.
What did he take her for? The biggest fool in the world?
Cedrick suddenly understood Catelyn’s unusual attitude, and it was not because of Maia.
In Catelyn’s mind, Cedrick was the culprit who took advantage of her that night!
“It wasn’t me that night-” muttered Cedrick.
“You don’t have to argue,” Catelyn interrupted him. “I’ve checked the surveillance camera, and the footage showed
that it was you who carried me into the castle in person.”
Hearing Maia’s words, Catelyn was only skeptical at first and did not dare to jump to conclusions.
Confused, she went to the security room of the castle. There were many antiques on the premises, so cameras
were set up all over the place to prevent any servants from stealing them.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCatelyn spoke to the person in charge and easily dug out the surveillance footage of that very night.
“You know, I understand,” said Catelyn. “I know you hated me at the moment, right? But how could you pretend
that nothing happened? Does it satisfy you to see me feeling scared and guilty?”
Her tears fell as she spoke.
Catelyn blinked desperately as she tried to quell her tears, but her eyes became misty quickly.
Cedrick looked at her red eyes and clenched his fists.
It was useless to argue. The best he could do was to explain himself.
“That’s right. It was me who took you that night,” admitted Cedrick. “But it was because I saw you and George
together, and I couldn’t help but feel jealous! I wanted to tell you about this, but I was even more afraid of losing
you again!”
