Our Billion-Worth Twins by Velvet Antler novel Chapter 545

Chapter 545

Time froze as Catelyn stared at him in awe.

Cedrick was right next to her.

She profusely blinked, struggling to believe what she saw.

Cedrick was observing her closely at the same time, and when their eyes met, Catelyn felt a little prick on her chest and looked away frantically.

Once he was certain that she would not scream, he slowly let go.

Her hands and her body were cold, so he swiftly moved to take off his jacket and placed it over her shoulders. He rubbed her dirt- stained cheek endearingly before lowering his head to kiss her on her lips, the tip of her nose, her eyes, and her temples. His lips moved across her face as his heart finally settled down from concern.

Catelyn, meanwhile, was still mentally caught up by the dangerous situation she was in and Cedrick's sudden appearance, so she could not react in time to push him away.

A storm gathered, and shadows loomed over the forest.

The kidnappers followed Catelyn's trail to the edge of the cliff and stopped.

"There’s no way from here, so that woman has to be somewhere around here. She wouldn't get far."

"If Boss comes back and finds out that the woman made a run for it, we’re going to be punished!"

"Look at that wall over there..." One of the men pointed at the stone wall.

The two gave each other a look before tip-toeing toward the wall. As they approached, both confident that Catelyn was hiding there, they started making devilish jokes about how they would make her beg for her life once they caught her.

Catelyn subconsciously reached down to her trousers behind the pile of hay next to the wall.

One of her pant legs was torn, and the way those men looked at her at the time was appalling.

Cedrick noticed Catelyn's reaction and glanced at the slim leg that was exposed in the air, his eyes glittering with malicious rage.

"Hide yourself properly, and don't come out," he reminded.

He turned into a flash of shadow before her eyes in the next instant as he darted out like a blood-thirsty beast. Before the kidnappers could react, he had already knocked them down in swift and lethal movements.

One of the kidnappers hit the back of his head at the tree nearby and lost consciousness; the other was covering his head on the ground in pain.

Cedrick stood tall like an unmoving mountain that was capable of fending off anything. "It's done," he called out to Catelyn, "you can come out."

Catelyn bit her lower lip and stumbled outside while holding onto his jacket tightly.
