Chapter 111
“Cedrick?”
Catelyn was shocked. How did her phone end up in Cedrick’s hands?
“It’s me,” replied Cedrick coolly, languidly. “What happened at the Mason Estate today wasn’t something that I expected, but I am grateful that you came to visit Ollie. Is your forehead better now?”
Catelyn hesitated for a brief moment.
Maia’s injury was more severe than hers, no doubt. She would have responded defensively had Cedrick reprimanded her, yet she was shocked to hear how…kind he was in reality. In turn, Catelyn could not help but behave in a genial manner, too. After all, what happened between Maia and her had nothing to do with Cedrick.
She even bit his hand that time.
“It’s only a light injury, but I’ll be fine in no time. Can you return my phone, please?” “You want it back?” Cedrick did not answer her question straightforwardly and instead, questioned her in return, his voice deep and alluring as he did. Catelyn inwardly cursed, though she mustered a smile outwardly. “I’ve been using this phone for a few years, and there is a lot of data and contact details important to me inside. They’re useless to you, too! How about you tell me your whereabouts now. Are you at Mason Estate? I’ll come over right now.. “I am not free right now,” slowly and steadily, Cedrick interjected her mid-sentence. Catelyn felt pale anxiety creeping into her as she quickly asked, “When are you free, then?” “I’ll send it to you when I’m free.”
“No, I wouldn’t wanna bother you. I can go and get it myself! You’re at Mason Estate, right? Or
“I’m busy now. Talk to you later.” Cedrick’s lips curved upward as he hung up without further hesitation, leaving a frustrated Catelyn feeling high-strung.
He was Cedrick, who hardly had any free time.
It was impossible to feel secure without a phone in this era!
