Chapter 529
Catelyn was not scared at all. She ignored his presence and only continued to eat.
"Do you think your silent treatment is going to work on me? I will not let you go!" Cedrick tugged at his tie impatiently. He found it hard to breathe.
There was some noise above his head.
Catelyn took one glance at him, swallowed her food, then said, " Suit yourself."
She seemed to have found a way to annoy him, and so she decided just to give him very brief replies every time.
He deserved to have a taste of helplessness.
She was so calm and indifferent.
It felt as though punching right into a thick layer of cotton.
Withdrawing the fist would feel that there was anger unreleased, but punching it would not help either. It was tormenting to keep it inside.
Finally, Catelyn finished her food, placed her cutlery down on the table, then wiped her lips clean. She did not even look at the man's angry face but turned and went into the master bedroom.
"Where are you going?" Cedrick pursued and grabbed her wrist from behind.
"Back to my room."
Her reply was still short and cold!
Cedrick had never felt as suffocated as he felt right now. He gritted his teeth and said, "Did I permit you to leave? You could only go back when you speak normally to me!"
Catelyn took one glance at him and then softly closed her eyes.
Not only was she too lazy to talk, but she was not too lazy to even look at him.
Cedrick was infuriated, his five fingers clenched into a fist. "Open your eyes! Catelyn, I asked you to look at me. Are you deaf?"
He could feel his bones almost falling apart, but Catelyn clenched her jaw and did not say a word.
"You better not use up my last ounce of patience here."
"That would be great." Catelyn had no choice but to look at him and say, "Why are you so persistent?"
"You are finally willing to talk properly?" Finally, it was not a short answer!
Catelyn was still expressionless. "I have nothing to say to an unreasonable person like you."
"You have accepted my marriage proposal!"
"The engagement ring is already lost. Does the engagement still count?" Catelyn's eyes were suddenly red. Catelyn looked at the small reflection of herself in his eyes and said, "Cedrick, just let me go. Instead of torturing each other this way, maybe it's better for us just to keep our last bit of decency..."
"I said I will make amends in the future! Why are we looking backward?"
Cedrick hugged her tightly into his arms.
As though the tighter he hugged her, the more he could prove that he would not leave...
Catelyn knew that she could not get out of his embrace and so was too lazy to push him away either.
"Your so-called making amends is to lock me up in here? You don't let me out and don't let me see my sons? How is it different from making me your tool!"
