Our Billion-Worth Twins by Velvet Antler novel Chapter 537

Chapter 537

Outside the office tower.

The rain poured, and rainwater formed into puddles on the ground.

There were not many people walking around due to the thunderstorm.

There were two Franch security guards chatting by the entrance.

"Look, the woman fainted!" One of them pointed at Catelyn and shouted.

"Should we call her an ambulance?" The other one was concerned.

"Are you crazy? Master Cedrick had ordered not to allow her to step foot into the office. He must hate this woman very much! Do you want to send her to the hospital? Do you still want to keep your job?"

"You're right, but she just crashed right in front of the office. It does not look good on us?"

The guard then frowned and suddenly said, "Let's move her to the tree by the side. Maybe she will wake up when the rain stops."

The guards were about to move Catelyn under the tree. They held Catelyn by her arm and legs and were about to walk to the side...

"Who allowed you to touch her!"

The guards felt a sharp pain in their shoulders, and then both fell onto the ground.

Catelyn fell back onto the ground because of it.

Her long hair was stuck on her face, and the rainwater glided down her cheeks...

She was shivering, and her body was frozen as though she had fallen into an igloo. Her eyes could not even open.

However, the next moment, her body was carried up by someone.

Her long lashes trembled, and she nudged slightly toward the source of heat. Cedrick gently wiped away the water on her face. His heart was wrenched.

It had only been a few days. How did she become so skinny?

"Ced... Cedrick?" The two guards were shocked.

Wasn't he the one who ordered never to allow the woman to step foot into the office at all? Why did he also hug her so carefully, as though she was the most precious treasure in the world?

Cedrick threw the two security guards a cold look, then instructed Charles, "Calculate and disburse their wages. They won't be returning to work tomorrow."

Before the guards could understand the whole situation, they were already sacked!

Cedrick could not care too much but carried Catelyn and went back into the CEO office's resting room on the top floor. Her body was too cold and needed a shower, plus a bowl of soup to warm her body up...

Cedrick gently placed Catelyn on the big bed in the resting room, then instructed Charles to purchase some soup.

He turned around, only to find the woman sitting on the bed.

Catelyn was wide awake. She looked nowhere near how weak she was just moments ago.

She only acted like that!

Cedrick realized he was fooled, and his lips were pursed together.

"Cedrick, are you finally willing to see me?" Catelyn did not pass out. She only wanted to bet against the odds of Cedrick noticing and giving in to her.

Luckily, she won the bet.

It had been a few days since they last met, but so many things had changed.

Cedrick's face had no expression and was only a meter apart from hers. He looked at her quietly. "Since you are alright, get out now."

"No, how would I be alright? Give me my children!" Catelyn stumbled from the bed.

Even though she did not pass out, it was also an undeniable truth that she had spent too long in the rain.

She felt a little lightheaded.

She mustered a lot of strength to kneel before him and tugged at the hem of his shirt.

Cedrick forced himself not to look at her pale face and peeled away her fingers one by one, cold-heartedly.

"You need not worry. They are my sons too, and I will be good to them. It's better than having them following you."

However, all they needed was a mother's love, not some material compensation!

"Cedrick Mason! You promised me. You promised you would never fight with me for their custody!" Catelyn's hand gripped onto thin air. Her other hand supported her body against the corner of the table. Her lips were so pale they looked almost transparent.

"You also promised our engagement, didn't you?" Cedrick asked casually, and his tone was so cold that one’s heart could get frozen.

Catelyn widened her eyes. Her fear was magnified.

"These are two separate issues. Please talk about them separately."

"Even if they are two separate issues, even if I promised not to fight for their custody, so what? Go ahead and see if there is any lawyer willing to help you now!"

Cedrick looked at her coldly, his gaze was so determined. He was so certain that she had no lawyer and would lose the suit for sure!

The breeze gushed through. Catelyn's body felt even colder.

She shouted hysterically with all her might, "What do you want me to do? I have nothing left, no home, no family, nothing! I only had two children, Cedrick. I beg you, I beg you to return my kids to me...

She was too agitated that her pale face even showed a little sign of blood.

However, her vision suddenly turned black, and she fell to the ground.

Cedrick's eyes squinted, and he almost leaped forward to hug her.

He looked down on her vulnerability and took a few steps forward, towering over her.

"Marry me."

Catelyn's heart suddenly stopped. She looked up in shock. Tears rolled down her cheeks, and she looked at him in disbelief.

Time seemed to have stopped. Tears blurred her vision, and she looked at the handsome face before her. It felt so surreal.

Cedrick slowly took out the ring from his pocket.

He half squatted before her.

His thick finger wiped away the tears on her cheek, and the ring was forcefully placed in her palm.

His big palm wrapped around her tiny hand.
