    “What do you think?”


    “The boys are mine!” stressed Catelyn, raising her voice without even knowing it.


    Cedrick seemed to enjoy her panicked state. The more anxious she became, the more leverage he


    had.


    “Without me, would you be able to give birth to them? Catelyn, I didn’t realize that you were a single-


    celled organism.” He steadily moved to pour himself a cup of tea and sipped on it. It was simply one of


    themon brands that one would find in local markets, so the taste was rough and odd, but he found


    it eptable given his good mood. He even took a few sips of it.


    Despite theplicated look on Catelyn’s face, her tone remained determined, “This is Franche, not


    Sapphire City. If you try to take my children away, I’ll call the cops! Cedrick Mason, don’t push me into a


    dire situation! I have nothing but them, and those kids are the one thing that I’m not willing to


    compromise.”


    “Are you scared?” Cedrick lifted an eyebrow as he studied the determination in her eyes.


    Catelyn straightened her back, her fists slowly clenching on her sides. She did not want to admit it, but


    she could not deny that she was scared as she was clearly losing in this confrontation.


    “Yes, I am. I’m scared that you’d take my kids away from me, and that what happened four years ago


    would repeat itself. Just get this over with, Cedrick. What are you trying to do?”


    Silence loomed and he remained quiet, sipping on his tea while Catelyn waited anxiously.


    Just when Catelyn was about to lose patience from waiting, he set the cup down and met her eyes with


    his sharp, eagle-like gaze. His eyes were filled with determination that resembled that of a predator that


    had locked onto its prey. “You are not to marry George.”


    “W-What?” Catelyn doubted her ears for a moment.


    Cedrick stood abruptly and approached her. “I said, I won’t allow you to marry him. You must cut all ties


    with him, or I’ll hire awyer to fight for the boys’ custody. You should know that you won’t stand a


    chance against me!”


    The confidence in his tone faded toward the end. The look in his eyes grew cold as he imagined what it


    had been like for Catelyn and George to be together.


    Both of his sons were calling him ‘Uncle George’, and there were slippers that were meant only for him.


    Cedrick had never thought that he would be jealous and lose control over a woman, but at this very


    moment, he realized that he was driven mad by jealousy.


    “Biologically, or officially, my sons are only allowed to have me as their father! I will not let you find them


    a stepfather, so you must leave George!”


    Catelyn’s mind went nk when she realized that Cedrick was doing everything because George told


    him that they were engaged. Threatening her with what she cared most about was precisely what she


    would expect from Cedrick, so she made a point by cing a hand on her stomach and smiling. “But


    what about the baby I’m carrying now? It needs a father.”


    “I can…ept it.” Cedrick pursed his lips until they started turning pale. “There are countless Mason


    Estates in the world. You can pick any, and I’ll make sure that he or she grows up safely to be a child of


    the Mason family.”


    “But I thought you said you won’t keep it?”


    Cedrick stiffened, clenching his fists as he nced at her abdomen. “Which is why you should know


    your ce and call George right now to cancel your engagement right away.”


    Catelyn was taken by shock as though her heart was struck. She had never imagined that Cedrick


    would be willing to make apromise one day for her sake, however ridiculous thepromise he


    made sounded.
