Chapter 53


    Chapter 53 Cedrick opened his closet and took out his shirt and suit. He changed into his clean shirt,


    which highlighted his toned muscles underneath.


    It was then Cedrick caught a whiff of gardenias, a very familiar scent, and he knew it was Maia. Maia


    reached her arms out and embraced Cedrick from behind as she rested her cheek on his back


    His body was incredibly toned without any extra fat. Maia breathed flirtatiously on Cedrick’s nape, her


    voice soft and gentle like a cat’s purr.” Master Cedrick, we’ve been engaged for four years already. Why


    haven’t you touched me after that one time four years ago?” Cedrick pursed his lips without saying


    anything, and that familiar scent had turned pungent in that instant.


    Seeing as Cedrick did not push her away, Maia became bold and decided to persist. “My parents have


    been asking me when we’re getting married, and when we can have our own child.”


    Cedrick’s expression shifted in an instant as he grabbed Maia’s wrist, stunning her. She had almost lost


    her elegantposure.


    Cedrick’s facial features looked pronounced under the warm sunlight. “Sorry, but I don’t n on having


    another child in the near future.” Maia’s disappointment showed in an instant, her face turning pale as


    she did. “Then we can just get married! I really like little Ollie, too…” Cedrick pushed Maia away and put


    on his suit as he buttoned the top button of his shirt up, emitting an unapproachable aura.


    When he looked back at Maia, there was not a single trace of emotion on his face.


    “The Masons aren’t stable as of now, I’m sure you’re aware of that, and Alexander Mason is still thirsting


    over the spot for the next Mason heir. Before we cane to a conclusion, I can’t give you an answer.


    “If that’s not something you can ept, you can do whatever you want with our engagement contract. I’ll


    bear the responsibilities.”


    The reason they were engaged was only because of the incident four years ago. Cedrick had no love for


    Maia. Even after four years of being together, he still had not developed any feelings for her. Cedrick


    thought that maybe his feelings were just that limited. Maia looked at Cedrick, dumbfounded at first, but


    her face quickly changed into a determined


    smile.


    “We’re engaged by the sacredw, and that’s for eternity. You’re mine, and nobody can take you away


    from me. Don’t expect me to give up! I’ll patiently wait for the day when you finally

    desde to marry me.”


    At a private hospital in Sapphire City was an inpatient on the third floor.


    Jamie had sustained multiple injuries across his body and even suffered a broken rib. He was able to


    regain consciousness only after being rescued by the doctors in the hospital.


    The doctor had advised him to rest for a month before going back to his normal life.


    He was bound by bandages all over his body, his leg coated with cement and hung mid-air, and his face


    covered with bruises. He looked like he went to hell and back.


    His whole family was surrounding him and taking care of him. “Catelyn, that fool!” hissed Jamie’s


    younger sister, Queenie, through gritted teeth. “How dare she have someone ambush you?! i’ll make


    sure she pays for this!”


    Queenie and Catelyn had gone to the same high school.


    Catelyn used to always be the prettiest girl in school, and everyone loved her. The rks were a


    powerful and wealthy family at that time, thus Queenie, too, used to be one of her followers.


    Since the rks had fallen, and Catelyn had been dumped by Jamie… It was time for Queenie to shatter


    Catelyn!
