Chapter 266
Cedrick opened his mouth and took the watermelon into his mouth, the tip of the fork included.
Catelyn tried pulling the fork out of his mouth, thinking that Cedrick would bite the watermelon, but he did not budge.
The end of the fork was stained with a bit of lipstick.
Cedrick stared at her meaningfully and sucked at the red lipstick mark on the tip of the silver fork cleanly.
It felt as though the fork was scalding hot at that moment that channeled its way to Catelyn's chest.
Her hand trembled, and she almost dropped the fork.
Just as Catelyn was about to excuse herself to the washroom, Cedrick let go of the fork and gracefully picked up the napkin to wipe the corners of his mouth.
A smile gradually formed on his face. "The lipstick tasted good. Do use it again next time," said Cedrick.
Catelyn wanted to scold him, she truly did, yet all that came out of her was, "This is a very expensive lipstick."
She decided to never use this lipstick ever again!
However, Cedrickdid not seem to catch what she meant. "I'll buy it for you," he said, raising his eyebrows.
Catelyn was speechless. That was not what she meant!
Defeated, she decided that it was perhaps best to just be silent.
Cedrick was in a surprisingly good mood, so much so that he did not even seem to mind too much about Catelyn keeping secrets from him. "Don't forget that I’m your boyfriend now. If there is anything you wish for, you have to tell me," he reminded her.
Catelyn supposed that Cedrick probably knew what happened in Chandier Jewelry today.
"I don't want to trouble you. I know you're busy with work."
"It's not all about being happy when I'm with you," said Cedrick. He pushed the plate of cut steak in front of her and brought over the plate which she did not cut.
His movements and actions were so smooth that he looked natural.
Catelyn smiled.
Could she bear everything? She knew that she went to him for Miles' sake. It would gut her to separate from him in the future if she spent more time with him, would it not?
The moment they called the bill, Catelyn thought of paying for the meal as she was the one who invited Cedrick out. One look at the bill, however, made her eyes widen.
It was more than 4500 dollars. Why was it so expensive?
Cedrick noticed her expression and teased her deliberately, "I remembered ordering a bottle of wine," he said innocently. "Is it expensive?"
Catelyn swallowed her pride and answered, "No, it's not."
The bottle of wine was worth 4000 dollars, and to Catelyn, it was definitely expensive. To Cedrick, however, it was not even worth raising a brow.
"In that case, waiter, get me another bottle of red wine," said Cedrick.
Catelyn was speechless. She thought of her bank balance and realized that she could not bear the cost.
In a hurry, she quickly tugged Cedrick’s shirt and said, "I see there's a lot of red wine stored in your estate, and there are few other better ones. Should we just forget about this?"
