Chapter 517


    Chapter 517


    Cedrick was not anxious nor disconcerted as he returned to Mason Estate. He had to admit, he felt


    somewhat gleeful.


    Aunt Jessie had called and said that Maia came to the estate. When she boasted that she was


    pregnant with his child, Catelyn visibly froze.


    Had she fallen in love with him and be jealous?


    Of course, Cedrick knew that he never touched Maia. Even if he did, she could not possibly conceive


    his child.


    Inside the castle, Catelyn was enjoying her time with Miles and Ollie on thewn yard. The area was


    covered with arge moisture-proof mat with very short coffee tables on it.


    The boys sat by the coffee table. One was painting quietly, while the other was ying a puzzle.


    Catelyn asionally cut some fruits for them to snack on.


    The surrounding breeze blew through the gaps of the branches and leaves while the sun ray shone


    through the gaps atop, casting mottled shadows all around.


    Cedrick felt his heart itching as he strode toward the three of them with his long legs.


    “Mommy, Father is back,” said Ollie with a smile the moment he saw Cedrick approaching.


    Catelyn was recliningzily by the coffee table, but she quickly straightened up the moment she heard


    himing. She turned her head and saw Cedrick walking toward her.


    He was a wlessly handsome man with neatly groomed short hair and a cold, strong look on his face.


    His presence brought an aura of a noble king who just stepped down from his altar. Despite his


    intimidating outlook, he had gentle eyes….


    HA


    Gentle? Catelyn inwardly sneered at the thought.


    “Whatever. This is his home anyway,” she said.


    “Mommy, don’t you want to see him?” Ollie’s beautiful eyes blinked, staring at Catelyn.


    Before she could answer him, Cedrick arrived in front of them.


    Seeing Ollie’s crayon drawing halfway through, he said with a slightly blunt but gentle tone, “What are


    you drawing?”


    “Spyderman!” Ollie raised his little hand and pointed at his drawing. “This is Spyderman’s head, hands,


    and feet. He can spit out webs from his fingers and fly over walls. Many of my friends in school like him


    a lot!”


    Cedrick had originally just asked a casual question, but as a result of Ollie being so excited and serious


    about his work, he showered him with praises.

    Catelyn gave an excuse that there were not enough fruits around and quickly went into the living room.


    Cedrick watched as Catelyn walked away. The shadows of the surrounding trees shrouded her figure,


    making her seem a little lonesome.


    He suddenly felt the urge to hug her.


    Catelyn went to the kitchen to wash an apple. She peeled it, cut it into small pieces evenly, and ced


    it in a fruit bowl.


    Turning around, she suddenly froze.


    With one hand in his pocket, Cedrick leaned against the door rail, watching her quietly from afar.


    There was a hint of pain in Catelyn’s eyes.


    She was expressionless as she walked past him.


    With the intoxicating fragrance of flowers floating in the air, Cedrick suddenly stretched out his hand


    and hugged her tightly in his arms.


    “I had a thought on the way back just now. If I can hold you like this and watch over our child, it would


    be blissful,” he said. As Catelyn listened to his words, her fine eyshes trembled slightly.
