Chapter 620
The car went around in circles, and Cedrick eventually parked at Ocean Path Residence.
He glanced at the time and noted that it was three in the morning.
Rolling down the window, the cold wind instantly blew into the car. Oddly, Cedrick did not feel the cold at all; perhaps it was because his heart was burning within.
He quietly stared at a dark suite on the fifth floor with tenderness in his eyes.
Catelyn slept soundly and deeply all night, she even dreamed that Cedrick had brought her and the two boys to a horse farm.
This was what Cedrickhad promised them. However, due to some unforeseen circumstances in Franche, it was not fulfilled.
Out of the blue, the phone on the bedside vibrated, waking her up from her dream.
Noting that the boys were sound asleep, Catelyn took the phone and went to answer it on the balcony.
"Hello?" answered Catelyn groggily.
"Get your account book ready, I'll wait for you downstairs," the deep voice of a man rang through the phone.
Catelyn's sleepiness dissipated in an instant, and she quickly looked downstairs.
Sure enough, Benley was parked quietly under an old oak tree, and a handsome man was leaning in front of the car. With a playful smile on his face, he stared at Catelyn from below.
Catelyn let out a sigh, she hurriedly ran back to the living room from the balcony, avoiding his teasing gaze.
"What did you just ask me to prepare?" she asked, not hearing Cedrick's words clearly.
His voice still had a light smile in it as he spoke, "The prenuptial agreement has been drafted. Just prepare the necessary documents, and we'll go to the city council."
"So soon?" Catelyn was stunned. "Didn't Benjamin say that it'd take a few more days?"
"Hurry up, let's go," urged Cedrick, not explaining much to her.
Catelyn glanced at the two children in the bedroom. "Can we go in the afternoon? The city council hasn't opened yet, and Joanne and the boys are still asleep now. I have to make them breakfast," she said. "Or, what if you go ahead first, and I'll meet you there in the afternoon when I'm ready?"
The other end of the line fell into an eerie silence.
Catelyn called out Cedrick's name twice, sensing that he was a little upset.
She knew Cedrick was not happy that she had been delaying the marriage, but this was not Catelyn's intention! she just wanted to wait for Joanne and the boys to finish breakfast before heading out.
Besides, she had not washed her face and brushed her teeth.
Catelyn would need to have her photo taken later, and she could not possibly go out casually without grooming herself!
"You said to do it today, and now you want to push it to the afternoon. Are you going to suggest delaying it to the day after later?" said Cedrick coldly, his dissatisfaction evident in his tone.
"No, I—" stammered Catelyn.
Beep! The line was cut off abruptly.
