Chapter 445
“What do you think?”
“The boys are mine!” stressed Catelyn, raising her voice without even knowing it.
Cedrick seemed to enjoy her panicked state. The more anxious she became, the more leverage he had.
“Without me, would you be able to give birth to them? Catelyn, I didn’t realize that you were a single-celled organism.” He steadily moved to pour himself a cup of tea and sipped on it. It was simply one of the common brands that one would find in local markets, so the taste was rough and odd, but he found it acceptable given his good mood. He even took a few sips of it.
Despite the complicated look on Catelyn’s face, her tone remained determined, “This is Franche, not Sapphire City. If you try to take my children away, I’ll call the cops! Cedrick Mason, don’t push me into a dire situation! I have nothing but them, and those kids are the one thing that I’m not willing to compromise.”
“Are you scared?” Cedrick lifted an eyebrow as he studied the determination in her eyes.
Catelyn straightened her back, her fists slowly clenching on her sides. She did not want to admit it, but she could not deny that she was scared as she was clearly losing in this confrontation.
“Yes, I am. I’m scared that you’d take my kids away from me, and that what happened four years ago would repeat itself. Just get this over with, Cedrick. What are you trying to do?”
Silence loomed and he remained quiet, sipping on his tea while Catelyn waited anxiously.
Just when Catelyn was about to lose patience from waiting, he set the cup down and met her eyes with his sharp, eagle-like gaze. His eyes were filled with determination that resembled that of a predator that had locked onto its prey. “You are not to marry George.”
“W-What?” Catelyn doubted her ears for a moment.
