Our Billion-Worth Twins

Chapter 213

Chapter 213 “Do you say these things to other women, too?” Cedrick’s eyes darkened as he stared into hers. “Are you jealous?” “No,” replied Catelyn, softly yet firmly, her gaze cast downward. Catelyn would never fall for him; she was only doing it for her children. It did not bother her how many women he had. She would never be jealous of him. Why would she, anyway?

“If it’s not jealousy, are you flustered?” Cedrick curved his lips into a mischievous smile, but his gaze was cold. “I don’t want to talk about these things with you. I’m hungry. Can we order take-out?”

Cedrick smiled lightly and replied, “I’ve already ordered some, they’ll be here soon.”

His phone rang immediately after. The food Cedrick ordered had arrived. Different dishes-vegetables and meat skillet, soup, meat skewers-filled up the table. “Take anything you like.” Catelyn was stunned at the sight and replied, “I’ll just have some soup. I might have to trouble you to send me home later, cause I… don’t feel too good.”

Cedrick, of course, would never reject her.

The small hours just before dawn were the darkest and quietest hours. The street was vacant with no cars or pedestrians in sight. Catelyn was wearing the set of clothing that Cedrick had bought her. It was a long trench coat in sky blue, fitting for the current weather and temperature. This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

The car stopped in front of Ocean Path Residence.

Catelyn got out of the car.

“I’ll walk you up,” offered Cedrick, all while staring at the guard by the doorway.

“Not today. My mother and Miles are home,” declined Catelyn gently as she stopped Cedrick from getting out of the car.

He held her hand and kissed it gently, his rough stubbles tickling her smooth skin. “You can just tell them that I’m your boyfriend.”

Catelyn’s eyelids shuddered. She was tempted to retrieve her hand but suppressed the urge and instead cupped his face in her hand.

“They’re still sleeping. I’ll tell them soon, though.”

“How soon is soon?” Cedrick grabbed her hand once more and gazed deeply into her eyes as he earnestly added, “I don’t plan on keeping this on the down-low.”

Catelyn did not expect him to be so straightforward and open about it. ‘Don’t all wealthy young men prefer to keep their romantic lives on the down-low?’

Catelyn paused for a brief moment before she smiled and said suggestively, “My house isn’t appropriate. You’ve seen it yourself; it’s a pretty small place. Let’s just go to yours, okay? I’ve never seen your house, of course, but…am I welcomed?”

Cedrick paused and looked deeply into her eyes. “That would be my pleasure.” Cedrick extended his arms out and said, “Can I have a hug before we say goodbye?” Catelyn did not reject and drew herself closer to him, to which Cedrick embraced her gently and brushed her hair softly. “The Mason Estate is indeed spacious.

‘But what do you propose we do there?’

The time Maia spent together with Richard got progressively longer.
