Our Billion-Worth Twins

Chapter 206

Chapter 206 Next to Cedrick were Charles and the mall’s operating manager. The manager’s forehead was covered in droplets of sweat. He felt honored, sure, but at the same time, nervous as he briefed Cedrick on the mall’s operation statistics. “Master Cedrick, the current foot traffic of the mall is-” “Who’s there?” The manager had not finished his sentence when a bodyguard in a suit spotted Catelyn, who was sneaking around. Everyone’s eyes fell on Catelyn upon hearing the guard’s announcement. “It’s me.” “Miss Clark?” Charles recognized Catelyn in an instant and growled at the bodyguard, “Don’t you have eyes? Make way for her!” The bodyguards stood aside and made way for Catelyn. Catelyn walked through the path that had been made for her toward Cedrick, her eyes filled with a myriad of emotions. She was shivering, even when she tried to open her mouth to speak No one knew how much she wished she could strike him across the face at that moment. Cedrick Mason was the man who had ruined her life! “It’s been a while, Master Cedrick.”

Cedrick pursed his lips. Despite his packed schedule, he would make time to check his phone. Alas, Catelyn had never texted him even once. The manager was unaware of the situation as he sneaked a look at Charles.

Charles’ face depicted the emotion he did not visibly convey-‘I don’t know, don’t ask me.’ Cedrick’s schedule for that day was filled to the brim. He looked at his watch and said, “If there’s nothing important, I’ll get to work first. I’ll see you later.” “Wait. I do have something to talk to you about!” Catelyn hurriedly grasped his wrist tightly. This behavior seemed utterly disrespectful to the manager, but to Cedrick, it did not seem to bother him at all.

“What’s the rush? I’m not going anywhere.” Cedrick looked at her hand on him as he said with a smile, “What is it, then?”

“I…” It was hard for Catelyn to say it out loud in front of the crowd.

She took a long deep breath. She would not accept defeat for the sake of her two children!

Cedrick watched Catelyn’s blushing face and, feeling pleased with himself, purposefully played hard to get. “If it’s about work, you can go straight to Charles.” The mall’s light was blinding, and every corner was brightly lit. Catelyn’s chest tightened as she uttered, “The questions you asked before… Does it still count?

Cedrick’s eyes glowed in an instant. He stared into Catelyn’s eyes as he grabbed her hand in his. His palm was so hot that it felt like it could burn her. She felt breathless as his masculine hormones surrounded her. At that moment, Catelyn was able to merge him and the monster from four years ago together.

That was exactly how Cedrick had grabbed her back then; like a monster, refusing to let her escape.

Catelyn’s deepest, darkest trauma had been awakened. She shuddered as she felt nothing but fear. “What’s going on? Are you unwell?” Catelyn felt like a panic-stricken bird as she shoved Cedrick away. “Don’t touch me!”
