Chapter 517
Cedrick was not anxious nor disconcerted as he returned to Mason Estate. He had to admit, he felt
somewhat gleeful.
Aunt Jessie had called and said that Maia came to the estate. When she boasted that she was pregnant with his child, Catelyn visibly froze.
Had she fallen in love with him and become jealous?
Of course, Cedrick knew that he never touched Maia. Even if he did, she could not possibly conceive his child.
Inside the castle, Catelyn was enjoying her time with Miles and Ollie on the lawn yard. The area was covered with a large moisture-proof mat with very short coffee tables on it.
The boys sat by the coffee table. One was painting quietly, while the other was playing a puzzle.
Catelyn occasionally cut some fruits for them to snack on.
The surrounding breeze blew through the gaps of the branches and leaves while the sun ray shone through the gaps atop, casting mottled shadows all around.
Cedrick felt his heart itching as he strode toward the three of them with his long legs.
“Mommy, Father is back,” said Ollie with a smile the moment he saw Cedrick approaching.
Catelyn was reclining lazily by the coffee table, but she quickly straightened up the moment she heard him coming. She turned her head and saw Cedrick walking toward her.
He was a flawlessly handsome man with neatly groomed short hair and a cold, strong look on his face. His presence brought an aura of a noble king who just stepped down from his altar. Despite his intimidating outlook, he had gentle eyes….
HA
Gentle? Catelyn inwardly sneered at the thought.
“Whatever. This is his home anyway,” she said.
With one hand in his pocket, Cedrick leaned against the door rail, watching her quietly from afar.
There was a hint of pain in Catelyn’s eyes.
She was expressionless as she walked past him.
With the intoxicating fragrance of flowers floating in the air, Cedrick suddenly stretched out his hand and hugged her tightly in his arms.
“I had a thought on the way back just now. If I can hold you like this and watch over our child, it would be blissful,” he said. As Catelyn listened to his words, her fine eyelashes trembled slightly.
