“You’re allowed to smoke, but I’m not?” teased Catelyn as she then put out the cigarette, tossing it into

the trash can.

Cedrick pulled her into his arms once again, and together, they walked toward theater room no.6, looking

like a couple in their honeymoon phase. “Smoking is a man’s prerogative,” replied Cedrick. “Do you know

how many toxins are in a cigarette stick? Nicotine, tar—there are more than three thousand different

types of harmful substances, and more than thirty of them could cause cancer. There were even studies

and experiments that showed that the amount of nicotine in one stick of cigarette is enough to kill a

mouse.”

Catelyn listened to him as he explained how harmful cigarettes were, “If you’re aware of it, why do you

smoke?” she shot back.

Cedrick looked at her and said, “Because I’m a man, and you…are a woman.”

They finished watching the musical, and Cedrick had nothing else planned afterward as it was not

appropriate for Janice to stay out for too long.

Hence, they decided to dine in a vegetarian restaurant.

Before they left, a staff member ran toward them from behind and called out to Catelyn. “Are you Miss

Catelyn?” The staff member looked at Catelyn nervously, “Yes, I am,” Catelyn responded, confused. “The

Ninth Master had ordered for me to pass this to you before he left.” He took out a pendant with a red

string and pointed at the fish pond behind them. “He said you dropped this earlier and to please take

care of your belongings.”

Catelyn saw the pendant and felt her pocket…realizing it was empty.

The pendant was given to her by Cedrick for good luck, she was supposed to give it back to him the next

day, yet she had almost lost it.

When Janice saw the pendant, her eyes widened in shock.

She looked at both Cedrick and Catelyn before taking a deep breath, almost as if she was repressing

something.

“Thank you.”

Catelyn did not dare to look at Cedrick’s expression just yet, she thanked the staff member and took the

pendant from his hands.

Cedrick snatched the pendant from her and shot her an incredulous stare. “Do you just leave the things I

give you around?”.

The tenderness in his gaze was nowhere to be found; bone-chilling harshness darkened his eyes.

Catelyn felt a chill down her spine. “I didn’t mean to! I probably dropped it when I almost

slipped earlier. I’m sorry, I’ll clean it…”

“There’s no need!”

Cedrick refused to listen to her explanation as he took out a tissue paper and wiped the pendant with

care as if he was taking care of a precious national treasure. “What’s the point when it’s evident you don’t

appreciate it?”

Catelyn’s mouth gaped open, but she decided to not say anything.

She had already decided to flee the country with Miles, so she did not have to explain herself.

Cedrick wiped at the pendant gently and tenderly. He looked like he was waiting for a response of sorts,

but there was nothing.

Infuriated, he removed the red string off of the pendant and tossed it into the trash can along with the

tissue paper before he started walking without looking back.

Janice did not follow him immediately, however. She looked at Catelyn with mixed emotions in her eyes

and said, “Do you know what that pendant is to Cedrick?” Catelyn shook her head.

“That pendant was the only thing my sister had left for Cedrick, and he was only able to take over the

Mason family because of it. I didn’t expect him to give something so precious to you, and worse, for you

to drop it…”
