Chapter 1134
As the man slowly lifted the umbrella, his face became clearer and clearer to Catelyn...
Catelyn held her breath.
Her heart thumped.
'It's really Cedrick!
Surprise, excitement, confusion, fear... A variety of emotions engulfed her. Her eyes welled up with tears. She wanted to jump into his arms and tell him how she had suffered mentally in the past six months, but she couldn't move...
"Why are you here?" After a long time, Catelyn found her words. She tried to calm down, but there was still a slight tremor in her voice.
Cedrick, however, focused on her bulging belly. He was relieved to see that she was okay. He didn't hear any emotion in her tone.
Catelyn did not show any excitement or cry.
Cedrick was disappointed. He glanced at the wary bodyguard behind her.
'Looks like she’s had a good time in the past six months.’
"What? Did I interrupt your date?" Cedrick asked mockingly.
’...’ Catelyn's heart sank.
She hadn't seen him in six months and she'd almost died. She couldn't believe the first thing he said to her was sarcasm.
She glared at Cedrick. "Alfred rented the whole hotel. If you think we're so nasty, please leave!"
"You're asking me to leave? You're the one who should leave." Cedrick sneered.
Catelyn frowned. 'What does he mean?'
Just then, Alfred returned.
From a distance, he saw the back of a familiar man standing at the front door of the hotel. The man was wearing a suit and had a cold, somber aura around him...
Alfred's face changed color as he approached and found it was Cedrick.
Alfred walked quickly to Catelyn's side, his arm next to Catelyn's. "Cedrick?"
Cedrick glanced over their arms and sneered, "Mr. Wagner, you're a brilliant man. On one hand, you're looking for your fiancee, and on the other hand, you're stealing my wife. I honestly admire you."
Perhaps because the door was open, Catelyn felt the air become colder.
She shivered. "Don't insult Mr. Wagner. We are just friends. He saved my life. And I chose to come here with him."
"It was your choice?"
Catelyn bit her lip. "Yes, I was in danger in Sapphire City. I had no other choice."
Cedrick gave a bitter smile. His hands clenched into fists.
'Did she think I couldn't protect her?'
He took a deep breath and asked, "You won't invite me in?"
Alfred refused with a smile, "Sorry, it's not very convenient."
