Our Billion-Worth Twins by Velvet Antler novel Chapter 974

Chapter 974

The maids probably knew that Cedrick would break the bowl, so they prepared several bowls of sobering soup.

Catelyn gritted her teeth, took another bowl, and-after testing its temperature-splashed it onto Cedrick's face. "Wake the f*ck up!'

Splash! The pick-me-up dripped down Cedrick's head.

The soup, along with a few mung bean skins, dribbled down Cedrick's face, and the collar of his shirt was also dirtied by the pick-me-up. He trembled all over and blinked.

Needless to say, he looked downright flustered.

Grandpa Albert was scared witless upon seeing this. Catelyn was too aggressive!

It was the first time he saw someone dare to splash liquid onto Cedrick's face.

Cedrick came to his senses entirely. He stared at Catelyn deeply, letting a mung bean skin stick to the tip of his nose, but his breathing grew a little heavy due to anger.

Catelyn's pupils contracted by his stare, but she straightened her body stiffly. "I don't know what happened, but you should look at how disgusting you're behaving in the mirror! You even pushed Grandpa Albert, you drunkard!”

Cedrick's whole face was tense, and the veins on his forehead protruded.

Touching her stubborn little face, his anger gradually dissipated, leaving only a complicated expression.

He rubbed his swollen temples, walked to the couch, and sat down. With his head slightly lowered, he almost forgot everything that happened." Albert, did I push you just now?"

"N-No, I simply fell because I wasn't standing right. It's not your fault." Albert hurriedly explained, trembling. ’Let the family doctor check your wound for you, Master Cedrick, then you could go back to your room to rest."

Catelyn only dared to approach Cedrick when he was sober. The smell of alcohol was neutralized by the soup; at least it was not so pungent anymore. Still, she was angry, so she kicked his leg with the tip of her toe and asked angrily, "Why did you drink so much wine?"

Cedrick rubbed the tip of his shoe against his other calf, much like a fluffy kitten scratching its own paw.

After Cedrick sobered up, his mood fell dismal. A few seconds later, Cedrick quietly muttered, "Today is my mother's death anniversary.’

Catelyn was taken aback.

The room fell into silence.

She suddenly felt a little overwhelmed. "Your mother's...death anniversary? Why didn't you tell me earlier? I'm sorry, I didn't mean to throw the soup to your face; I just want you to wake up."

Catelyn finally understood his strange behavior. It turned out this day was the anniversary of his mother's death.

Cedrick always cared about family affection and Cedrick's biological mother.
