Our Billion-Worth Twins by Velvet Antler novel Chapter 449

Chapter 449

“No…” muttered Catelyn stubbornly, feeling pathetic that she had to endure the pain and his intrusion.

She stared at the floor and prayed that the pain would subside, but a lump formed in her throat, and a sob escaped her.

Tears scrolled down her cheeks, and it took Cedrick by surprise.

She had responded with indifference, even when he pushed her up against the rockery stone, and she knew exactly what to say to provoke him. At this moment, however, her face was pale as a ghost as she curled up and panted from either pain or sobbing.

“Why didn’t you say anything?!” roared Cedrick, enraged that Catelyn did not take care of herself.

Catelyn suppressed her tears, refusing to look at his face by facing the wall as she retorted, “Would you have stopped if I did?”
