Chapter 523
“I’m sorry…but right now, you’ve already lost me,” Catelyn declared coldly.
A wave of despair grew and spread from the bottom of her heart as she spoke, spreading to her limbs and bones
“Take back what you’ve said.” Cedrick frowned tightly. He grabbed Catelyn’s shoulders and shook her.” You’ve already agreed to my proposal, and you’re wearing my ring! I won’t allow you to go back on it!”
“From the moment you deceived me, I can’t take it back anymore!” cried Catelyn. “If your goal is to torture me like this, then congratulations, you’ve succeeded!”
Even after her family broke down four years ago, even after all the remorse of getting married to Jamie, Catelyn was never this deep in agony.
She felt as if her heart had been crushed.
“You thought I was the only one torturing you. What about you? Didn’t you torture me?” Cedrick’s eyes narrowed in agitation.
He kicked the coffee table beside his feet, and the items on it fell and scattered all over the floor.
Cedrick grabbed Catelyn by her chin as he hissed, “You weren’t pregnant with George’s child, yet you pretended to be in front of me. I’ve asked you many times, yet you didn’t tell me the truth.”
Catelyn looked at him in astonishment. Tears flowed down her face once more as she felt her whole world collapse.
Cedrick decided to hide the truth about taking advantage of her because she was not truthful with him about her ‘pregnancy’.
It seemed as though all fairness in love was measured this way.
Catelyn had learned a lot.
Cedrick’s voice suddenly softened. “You’ve lied to me, and I’ve lied to you, so we’re even now. Shall we take a break and cool down before we continue talking?”
“No more.” Catelyn took off the ring on her finger and handed it to Cedrick. “From now on, the engagement is annulled, and this ring will be returned to you.”
