Our Billion-Worth Twins by Velvet Antler novel Chapter 982

Chapter 982

Cedrick had thought of staying at Atherton Manor so that he could take care of Catelyn.

Oddly enough, after returning to the manor, Catelyn lost weight quickly over just a few days, and all the new clothes Joanne had bought for her looked too loose on her.

Whenever she ate, she would only take a few bites before she would run upstairs and lock herself in the room, not allowing anyone to get close.

This time was no different; Cedrick was locked out of the door.

He knocked on the door repeatedly, hoping she would open the door to let him in. After returning from the hospital, she had been acting abnormally, shutting herself in the room all the time, and he had no idea what she was doing.

After he finally got in, he noticed that her face was pale.

He wanted to stay by her side all the time, talk to her, and make up for the pain of losing a son, but she always turned her back against him whenever he was before her, and she even rolled up the quilt and pretended to sleep.

This time, Catelyn insisted on not opening the door for Cedrick this time.

Irked, Cedrick's voice raised as he warned, "Catelyn! Do you want me to knock this door down?!'

"Can you stop pestering me?” Catelyn answered after a while, sounding like she was short of breath. "I just want to be alone..."

Cedrick stood firmly at the door for a while, his lips tightly pressed, looking enraged.

Seeing that Cedrick followed Catelyn upstairs, Joanne also stopped eating and took a piece of bread upstairs for Cedrick. "Here, eat something. Don't forget about your gastric problems."

'Take it away." Cedrick did not even look at the food she offered. Clearly, he had no appetite at a moment like that.

"We're all very sorry for Cat's miscarriage, but if you fall ill, who'll continue to take care of her?" Joanne gulped subconsciously out of fear of Cedrick's furious aura.

Cedrick stared at Joanne silently but said nothing.

Joanne stuffed the bread into his hand and pointed to the bedroom doorway. 'Can I try?"

'She doesn't even want to see me. Do you think you can persuade her to open the door?"

Joanne felt that she was being despised, and her face flushed red. "Cat doesn't want to see you because you remind her of the lost child. I'm different. I can comfort and enlighten her!"

Joanne's words were like a basin of cold water that was splashed onto Cedrick's face, and he froze.

A self-deprecating smile made its way to his face, mocking himself for being a heartless man.

He closed his eyes lightly and suppressed a choked sob. "I'll leave her to you, then. Please make her open the door. I'll be downstairs. Call me whenever you need anything."
