Chapter 209


    Chapter 209 Cedrick gasped in pain as he stopped the kiss and looked up at the woman in his embrace,


    her skin pale like a pool of milk as it emitted a sweet, milky scent. It was an enticing sight. However, the


    sight of her shivering body made Cedrick feel like a pail of icy water was dropped on his head. He raised


    his brow and looked away in eptance. Catelyn was clearly reluctant. What drove her into doing what


    she did when she obviously hated it, then? What was her intention?


    Catelyn’s clothes were already crumpled when she noticed that Cedrick had stopped, but she could not


    figure out why he did. “Aren’t you going to do it?”. “Not interested.”


    “Sorry. It’s my first time doing it while conscious, and I’m just a little nervous.” Catelyn acted casual as


    she licked her lips nonchntly and added, “You didn’t have to stop for me, really.” Cedrick slowly


    regained hisposure and calmed his beating heart before he slowly got up from the sofa. A couple of


    his buttons had burst off earlier, exposing his toned chest. He took off his shirt and pulled open the


    closet, retrieving a clean, fitted shirt. He spread his arm and put on the dress shirt gracefully; his every


    movement was of royalty. Catelyn stretched her lips into an unnatural smile. The room fell into a long,


    ring silence, and her brain was filled with white noise If he did not want her anymore, why did he


    return for her? Why did he bring her here?


    Catelyn was conversing with herself when her gaze met Cedrick’s. His eyes were dark and icy without a


    single sign of warmth, and there were even traces of disdain in his gaze, rendering her feeling exposed


    and helpless. It was as if he was able to read every single thought in her mind. Catelyn tightened her fist


    and forced a smile.


    “Sorry, I might’ve crossed a line,” she muttered as she picked up her ragged clothes from the ground that


    barely covered her skin and walked toward the exit.


    She approached the door and grabbed the door handle, the sound of the door handle clicking being


    heard.


    The handle twisted as the door cracked open slightly Thomp! A strong arm flew across Catelyn’s eyes


    andnded on the door, closing the door shut once again.

    Catelyn looked at Cedrick incredulously, his face darkened as he hissed, enunciating his words, “Do you


    think you can juste and go as you please? Remember, you’re the one who came to me this time!”


    It was just after midnight. The neon lights shone from outside the window when Cedrick was seen


    leaning against the bed frame, with a stick of cigarette between his fingers. He took a long drag, puffing


    out streaks of white smoke. Next to her was Catelyn, who was fast asleep from fatigue. She slept on her


    side with her body curled up like a cat, her face was oddly pale. Strands of hair drenched by her sweat


    were glued to her forehead. Her brows knitted tightly together, as if she was having a nightmare as she


    twitched restlessly. She looked like a helpless kitten that needed to be sheltered. Cedrick brushed her


    hair with his fingers as images from earlier yed in his head. Well, it would take more than good luck to


    escape him once he had been triggered for whatever reasons.


    It was close to dawn when Catelyn woke up from her sleep.
