Chapter 440
George was shocked and looked at her in disbelief.
“I mean, I am not pregnant. He just misunderstood. I did not bother explaining it to him. Just let him believe what he liked,” Catelyn said, but at the same time, a little sad and concerned about it.
George could now see a silver lining. He was holding her arm a little too tightly because of the excitement
“Catelyn, what about we run away together with your sons? We could go to the countryside, somewhere far away. Cedrick would not be able to find us! We could change our names and start all over again…”
Catelyn was a little taken aback by his sudden excitement.
“George, you know you could not run away from this. Even if you can, should the two babies live such a life forever?”
Catelyn felt helpless.
She peeled away George’s fingers, one by one, and frowned.
“That is impossible, plus… We are really not suitable for each other. Don’t you waste time on me anymore. I am grateful for what you have done for me, but we are only friends. Please don’t let me become your burden. From now on, you should not meddle in things between Cedrick and me.”
Cedrick was the kind of person that would go out of his way for revenge. She did not want to involve an innocent person in this.
“I am not scared to be involved. I am just scared that you will leave me…” George shouted agitatedly.
He felt helpless to see the girl that he loved dearly being bullied, but he could not do anything about it.
When he was listening to Cedrick’s insulting remarks about Catelyn, he had to muster all his might to resist fighting with him.
“All I said was from the bottom of my heart. I wish to take care of you and your sons. If you are willing to, we can get married anytime, and so Cedrick would not be disturbing you anymore.”
Their eyes locked onto each other. Catelyn was feeling flustered. “Don’t oversimplify things, George. Otherwise, we may not even be friends. Let’s call it a night. I have to get back.”
Then, she got out of his grip and disappeared into the crowd.
George felt that he could not let it just be and decided to go after her.
