    Chapter 508


    Cedrick’s frown deepened.


    The florist must have made a bad rmendation. Red roses probably were not Catelyn’s favorite.


    Cedrick took Catelyn to a giant cruise ship for dinner.


    The luxurious ship with blue-and-white stripes sailed in the sea, rolling up the waves as it moved.


    Catelyn followed Cedrick to the cruise’s deck as her ck wide-leg pants pped in the wind.


    The moment she set foot on the cruise ship, melodious soothing saxophone music yed.


    The sky had not darkened. Still, the ship was already full of candles and the light illuminated the entire


    hull.


    Due to the strong sea breeze, the candles were covered in sses, which added a bit of fantasticality


    to the deck.


    The dim candlelight set off the beautifully furnished deck and the red carpet that extended from the


    deck to the dining room in the inner cabin. In the dining room, a in white dining table was decorated


    with beautiful roses and lilies, overflowing with romance.


    “Master Cedrick, Miss rk, it’s time for dinner.” The waiter led the two of them to their seats as he


    spoke.


    Red wine steak, Franch foie gras, and appetizing snacks were ready on the table. The environment


    and lighting were in the perfect state that any couple could ask for.

    Everything was impable.


    To Catelyn, it all felt like an ordinary candlelight dinner and enjoyed herself. However, in the next


    instant, she saw Cedrick stand up from his seat and slowly walk toward her…with a small ck ring


    box in his hand.


    He then opened the ring box, revealing a ring with fireworks as its motive.


    Catelyn could not help but stare at the ring.


    ‘Isn’t this the design I drafted for the Chandier Jewelrypetition?’ she asked herself.


    She could not believe the ring in front of her at that very moment was a finished product of her design!


    “Although the setup isn’t beautiful enough, it still fits your definition of sincerity. Catelyn, marry me,” a


    deep, maic male voice fell into her ears.


    Catelyn raised her eyes to meet Cedrick’s deep gaze filled with iprehensible affection.


    Her heartbeat suddenly elerated.


    At the same time, a thinyer of tears involuntarily umted in her eyes.


    No matter how much she had missed and hated him, she could have sworn she heard an angel’s voice


    telling her to ept his proposal.


    She desperately took a deep breath, suppressed the emotions that were about to spill out of her, and


    indifferently spat, “I won’t.”


    Cedrick seemed to have expected that she would refuse and stared at her with his darkened eyes.


    “What


    am I not doing enough?”


    “It’s not that you aren’t doing enough; it’s that I can’t do it.” Catelyn bit her lower lip shamefully as her


    face paled in the candlelight. “I often think of that night that happened half a month ago, and I’d always


    think of myself as filthy. You are Master Cedrick of the Mason family. There’s no woman you couldn’t


    get if you want.”


    So it’s still about that night…’Cedrick mused.


    Bitterness shed across Cedrick’s eyes.


    “It takes guts to be your wife. Everyone from the Mason family and the rk family, including your


    elders, has their eyes on me!


    “I don’t want that one day, when someone digs up my past and finds out about the scandals, they’ll tell


    my two sons that their mother isn’t worthy!


    “I feel inferior. I don’t have the confidence and courage-”


    Cedrick suddenly held her hands and pressed them tightly against his chest. “Do you feel it? This heart


    is beating violently because of you.”


    “No matter what you are thinking right now, stop for me. I only allow you to say yes to me!


    “Everything that happened in the past isn’t your fault, and I don’t care! Unless you still hate what I did to


    you, these scandals are just excuses you’re using to reject me!”


    The air seemed to have thinned out. She was almost unable to think and speak.


    “It’s not an excuse! I’m serious!” Catelyn felt her nose tingling sorely as she refuted. She could not pull


    her hands back. “From the very beginning, we’ve been tangled in lies and deceit, and there is a huge


    disparity in terms of background and temperament…”


    After a pause, her tone shifted into what sounded like unforgiveness. “Did you rig George and his


    family’s business?”
