Chapter 193


    Chapter 193


    Catelyn wanted to pull her hand away, but Cedrick was so strong that she could not move, even if she


    struggled until her skin turned red.


    She became increasingly frustrated as even if he was not threatening her, he was still taking advantage


    of her.


    “Do you really not care about my past?”


    She birthed a child out of wedlock, and her father was a notorious murderer. People of the rk family


    had avoided her like the gue, and for someone like her to survive in the elitemunity, she might


    qualify as a ything but not at all the type that one would take home to their parents.


    still had no clue as to what he meant by it.


    Would the Masons even believe that he was interested in a woman like her? She would not even qualify


    to be a wallflower.


    “I’m choosing my girlfriend, not a business partner. Besides, I have an illegitimate son as well, don’t I?”


    Cedrick smiled as stared at her heatedly. “Unless you mind that I have a son?” “No!” Catelyn’s eyes


    widened as she thought back to how adorable Ollie was. “I couldn’t be more fond of him, so how could I


    possibly care about that?”


    “If you don’t mind it, then prove it to me.” A smug smile formed on Cedrick’s face. ‘Prove it?’ She thought,


    ‘How am I supposed to prove something like that?’ Catelyn was confused, and as though he had read


    her mind, Cedrick deadpanned, “Get together with me and take care of Ollie. That’s the best way to


    prove yourself.” Silence had fallen over them to the point they could hear the faint sound of each other’s


    breathing. Catelyn gasped in disbelief, realizing that he had said so much only to get her to date him. Her


    senses told her that even if she agreed, their rtionship would notst under the pressure from the


    rk family and Mason family, and pressure would only mean trouble for Miles.


    However, some part of her longed to fight for it, no matter how slim the chances were. Apart from that,


    Cedrick promised to help her obtain Miles’ custody.


    Her silence was viewed as a rejection of Cedrick. He lifted an eyebrow, and in a cold voice, he said,


    “Alright, you don’t have to say anything. I know your answer now.”


    “Cedrick, I…” Her heart sank at his words. Her pupils contracted as she desperately tried to say


    something to ease the tension, but when she opened her lips, she found herself unable to emte


    words.


    Cedrick held onto the steering wheel quietly, waiting for her to continue with anticipation. He


    Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    wondered what she had to say, but no matter how long he waited, he did not get the answer that he


    wanted.


    He tightened his grip on the steering wheel and said in a hoarse voice, “Catelyn, you may do as you


    please for two times because I decided to put up with you, but there won’t be a third time. I hope that you


    know you only have onest chance.” Catelyn opened her mouth again, but still, remained silent in the


    end.


    She had thought that Cedrick would be furious at being rejected and would leave her at the side of the


    road, but to her surprise, he asked after half a minute, “Where are you going? I’ll drop you off there.”


    “L…” Catelyn nced hastily at the time. “Miles should be done with school now, and I need to pick him


    up. If it’s too much trouble, you can just stop the car in front.” Cedrick nced at the map on his phone.


    “Address.”
