Chapter 323 “It’s just a spam call. There’s no need to answer it,” said Catelyn, pretending to be nonchalant about it as she hung up the phone.
Deep down, however, she was very distressed.
The mysterious man had called. What was he going to say to her?
Her instincts were telling her to quickly find a way to get back to meet him, but since Cedrick was with her, she could not leave!
Catelyn straightened her back as she got into the car, while Cedrick glimpsed at the phone in her calm, saying nothing. The car did not get that far before Catelyn’s phone rang again. Thinking it was the mysterious person, Catelyn intended to hang up the call without even looking at the caller ID.
Before she could do it, Cedrick, who was in the driver’s seat, grabbed Catelyn’s phone. “Let’s see. Who’d actually spam calls on you?” he sneered.
Catelyn’s eyes widened in horror, looking as if she had just lost her soul. “No!” she stretched out her hand to grab it from him. “Give it back to me!”
What if Cedrick discovered the truth? She could not imagine the consequences.
She desperately tried to get her phone back.
However, being a man, Cedrick was naturally stronger than Catelyn. She accidentally fell against his chest as she tried to reach for her phone, but Cedrick remained motionless as a mountain. He slid his finger across the phone screen and answered the call.
Catelyn’s heart leaped to her throat, and her whole body instantly froze.
To her surprise, what came next was not the voice of a man, but the voice of a child.
“Big Kitty, why didn’t you come home these two days?”
Catelyn was startled.
Cedrick also narrowed his eyes.
Over the phone, Miles was not aware of what was happening. He was just worried that Catelyn would not come home. “Big Kitty, are you okay?” he asked, audibly concerned. “Is it because of the competition?”
Catelyn’s tense nerves slowly loosened. It was Miles-not the mysterious person.
“Your Mommy is with me, and she won’t be going home tonight,” said Cedrick as he frowned lightly. He could clearly feel that Catelyn was less nervous. He muttered something into the phone and ended the call.
Later, while Cedrick was absent-minded, Catelyn took the opportunity to push him away and snatched her phone from his hand before she quickly opened the car door, running away. It seems that it was just a matter of time before her secret would be discovered. NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.
Cedrick stared as Catelyn left, and his eyes dulled with coldness.
Who was she meeting? Whose call was she waiting for? “Find out who Catelyn was supposed to meet at the coffee shop, and find out what they did,” said Cedrick over the phone to Eason.
Catelyn ran out of Riverdale Mall and called a cab. She clutched her phone tightly, and the veins on the back of her hands seemed to be bulging. She was evidently affected by the incident with Cedrick earlier. Once in a while, she would even nervously look around, as if someone was watching her. After making sure that Cedrick was not after her, she finally turned on her phone and opened her recent call logs, finding the number from the second previous call.
