Chapter 1097

Catelyn entered the Mason Estateo She sat on the couch and waited for Cedrick.

"Mrs. Manson, would you like a cup of warm tea? It has been so cold these days. It may be snowing soon." The maid

brought Catelyn a cup of black tea and smiled.

"Yeah. According to the forecast, it's going to snow." Catelyn suddenly remembered the storm glass Alfred had given her.

She noticed that there was a thick layer of ice in it before she left home.

Catelyn glanced upstairs with worry. "Cedrick didn't get drunk lately, did he? ■

"Mr. Mason..."

"I’ll tell you." Before the maid could answer Catelyn, Cedrick's stern voice rang out from the stairs.

Catelyn looked up the stairs and saw Cedrick. He was wearing a loose light gray knit sweater, his short hair hanging

casually on his forehead. He looked homy, not as serious as usual. She held her breath and watched as he walked

down the wooden stairs until he stopped in front of her.

Finally, she saw the familiar face. Even when he smiled, the expression on his face didn't change much.

Catelyn parted her lips and stared at...

One second, two seconds, three seconds...

They looked into each other's eyes as if time froze.

After a few seconds, Catelyn stood on her tiptoes, tried to jump into his arms, hug him, apologize to him, and tell

him what she had suffered all these days.

Cedrick stared at her with imperceptible affection in his eyes. But the moment her hand was about to wrap around

his neck, he took a step back.

Her arm was paused in the air. She froze and looked up at him incredulously...

"Are you still mad at me? I can explain. I’ve figured it out. My dad... No. Ezekiel was using me all the time. And he

colluded with others to try to murder you. I learned his secrets..."

"Your grandmother just called me. She was worried about you. She's going to have you taken back later." Cedrick

interrupted her, no expression on his face.

Catelyn froze. 'Cedrick doesn't seem to care about Ezekiel or what I've learnt.'

"You're not going to hear me out but just send me home?”

"Yes." He didn't hesitate.

Catelyn asked anxiously, "Why? You were so mad at me when I defended Ezekiel earlier."

Cedrick lowered his eyes, his hands in his pants pockets. He replied, "Do you know what you look like now?"

Catelyn didn't answer. She waited for his answer.

"A few days ago, when you thought Ezekiel was the good guy, you confronted me to defend him. You made me so

embarrassed at Aunt Janice's funeral. Now you say you've learned everything. You know Ezekiel is the murderer and you

support my decision now like nothing ever happened. Catelyn, what do you think I am?"

"I'm sorry!" Catelyn grabbed Cedrick's hand and explained anxiously, "I was stupid. I let you and Aunt Janice down.

But..."

"That's enough. Your grandmother's men will be here in about ten minutes, and they'll bring you back safely." Cedrick

said in a low voice, no emotion in his voice.

Catelyn slowly loosened her grip on his hand...

'Grandmother was right. Janice's death and the fact I had defended Ezekiel hurt him.

'There's a rift between US and it's not going to disappear as time goes by. It is getting deeper and deeper...

'Even if I give up my pride and ask for his forgiveness, he won't forgive me ever.'

Catelyn closed her eyes for a moment to hold back the tears in her eyes. With sincerity, she asked again, "If my

grandmother wanted me to have an abortion and her men would take me straight to the hospital, do you still want me to

go back?"
