    Chapter 974


    The maids probably knew that Cedrick would break the bowl, so they prepared several bowls of sobering soup.


    Catelyn gritted her teeth, took another bowl, and-after testing its temperature-sshed it onto Cedrick''s face.


    "Wake the f*ck up!''


    Ssh! The pick-me-up dripped down Cedrick''s head.


    The soup, along with a few mung bean skins, dribbled down Cedrick''s face, and the cor of his shirt was also

    dirtied by the pick-me-up. He trembled all over and blinked.


    Needless to say, he looked downright flustered.


    Grandpa Albert was scared witless upon seeing this. Catelyn was too aggressive!


    It was the first time he saw someone dare to ssh liquid onto Cedrick''s face.


    Cedrick came to his senses entirely. He stared at Catelyn deeply, letting a mung bean skin stick to the


    tip of his nose, but his breathing grew a little heavy due to anger.


    Catelyn''s pupils contracted by his stare, but she straightened her body stiffly. "I don''t know what


    happened, but you should look at how disgusting you''re behaving in the mirror! You even pushed


    Grandpa Albert, you drunkard!”


    Cedrick''s whole face was tense, and the veins on his forehead protruded.


    Touching her stubborn little face, his anger gradually dissipated, leaving only aplicated expression.


    He rubbed his swollen temples, walked to the couch, and sat down. With his head slightly lowered, he


    almost forgot everything that happened." Albert, did I push you just now?"


    "N-No, I simply fell because I wasn''t standing right. It''s not your fault." Albert hurriedly exined,


    trembling. ’Let the family doctor check your wound for you, Master Cedrick, then you could go back to


    your room to rest."


    Catelyn only dared to approach Cedrick when he was sober. The smell of alcohol was neutralized by


    the soup; at least it was not so pungent anymore. Still, she was angry, so she kicked his leg with the tip


    of her toe and asked angrily, "Why did you drink so much wine?"


    Cedrick rubbed the tip of his shoe against his other calf, much like a fluffy kitten scratching its own paw.


    After Cedrick sobered up, his mood fell dismal. A few secondster, Cedrick quietly muttered, "Today is


    my mother''s death anniversary.’


    Catelyn was taken aback.


    The room fell into silence.


    She suddenly felt a little overwhelmed. "Your mother''s...death anniversary? Why didn''t you tell me


    earlier? I''m sorry, I didn''t mean to throw the soup to your face; I just want you to wake up."


    Catelyn finally understood his strange behavior. It turned out this day was the anniversary of his mother''s death.


    Cedrick always cared about family affection and Cedrick''s biological mother.


    Catelyn''s heart softened, and she took a clean towel and carefully wiped the soup on his face and neck. Linder the


    light, the liquid glowed with ayer of luster, reflecting his handsome face more perfectly.


    She rubbed down along his forehead, and when she just touched his neck, Cedrick suddenly reached out and held


    her hand, his gaze burning.


    "Promise me that no matter what happens, you''ll still be by my side.’


    "We''re a family. If I''m not by your side, who else can I be with?" Catelyn''s pupils reflected Cedrick''s face. Have you


    gone to your mother''s grave and brought her flowers? Why didn''t you call me?”


    Cedrick pursed his thin lips tightly to conceal the bitterness in his chest.


    His loss of emotional control was not only due to the anniversary of his mother''s death. More importantly, it was


    due to Yael''sboratory test result.
