Our Billion-Worth Twins by Velvet Antler novel Chapter 492

Chapter 492

Standing in front of the display window, Catelyn admired the hand-made pieces on the stand. There were beams of light on top of every cell, and each piece appeared extremely sophisticated under the light. At the very center of the display window was a perfect white wedding gown. With a scoop-neck neckline that hugged the chest, the dress extended all the way down to the ground. Inspired by the Victorian era, small pieces of diamonds were scattered all over the hem of the dress, giving it an elegant and fairy-like appearance.

Her heart stopped the moment she laid eyes on the dress. It was absolutely stunning, but she looked away immediately.

Cedrick had moved closer and stood by her side. “Do you like this wedding dress?”

“I don’t,” replied Catelyn nonchalantly, albeit lying.

“Your expression suggests otherwise,” Cedrick said stubbornly.

Catelyn clenched her fists and turned to stare at him in the eyes. “Whether I like it or not has nothing to do with you, Cedrick. I’ve already refused your proposal, so stop trying.”

“How would I stand a chance if I stop trying?” Cedrick’s eyes darkened as he focused on her. “Marry me and be my Missus Mason. The two children will have their names on the Mason family’s tree and enjoy riches beyond their imagination. Isn’t that something good?”

“My boys don’t care for titles and riches.”

“But I do!” Cedrick’s tone took a sterner turn as he pressed on the subject. “I want to give the three of you better lives!”

He was firm as he spoke, but Catelyn was not impressed at all. She batted her eyes as she thought to herself, ‘Does giving me a better life mean that he gets to humiliate me in front of George?’

“I’m doing fine now.”

“Staying away from me and raising the children on your own is ‘fine’ by you?”

He recalled her accusation that day at the rockery stone. She got pregnant by accident before even turning 20, and her life had taken a drastic turn since then. She had to work despite being pregnant. She even tried sleeping on the road and was discriminated against and humiliated everywhere she went.

He pursed his lips as regret filled his eyes.
