Chapter 40

Catelyn thought back to the awkward state she was in earlier, and her face flushed a bright red. “I didn’t

know that you were the one who booked this room…”

“So you’re here to meet another man?” If Catelyn did not know it would be him, then who else was she

expecting?

Cedrick tightened his grip on her chin and noticed how his anger flared even worse than before.

Due to the stronger force exerted, Catelyn’s chin began to turn red. Frustrated, she explained, “I’m

waiting for someone else, but not because of what you think. I’m here to pay my debt.”

Scared that Cedrick would not believe her, she frantically took out the check from inside the envelope.

“See for yourself, this is the proof! I didn’t even think that you’d show up here, and when I heard that you

were discussing business, I panicked and hid under the table to avoid any further misunderstanding.”

Cedrick stared at her suspiciously. Was it possible that he misunderstood?

Seeing that he had quieted down, Catelyn thought that he had finally made sense of it all, but to her

surprise, he placed his hand at the back of her head the next moment.

“Mmph!” She frowned in pain and kept punching him on the chest in frustration, hoping to escape, but

failed miserably. Despite her using all the strength she could summon, he simply felt like he was being

tickled.

He sealed her lips tight so that all her complaints melted into hasty breaths.

“The streets are filled with women who want to be mine, so I don’t need one more like you. Scram!”

Catelyn was tossed to the couch with her head thrown back. She felt light-headed from the lack of

oxygen, and it did not help that Cedrick’s comment was rather ugly to the ears.

She, too, wanted to retort that there were plenty of men on the streets who wanted to be hers, but the

check in her hand weighed her down like a mountain, reminding her that she had something more

important to do.

“Thank you for your understanding,” she said before running away from Room 6808.

‘What on earth was Alex doing, giving me the wrong room number? I wouldn’t have run into such things

if it wasn’t for him!” she seethed internally.

“…” Cedrick was rendered speechless for a moment.

‘Thanking me for understanding? F*ck understanding!’ He cursed inwardly as he kicked the couch over

as rage burned within his eyes.

Throughout the four years he had been engaged to Maia, he had never touched her again except for the

night four years ago. He had tried forcing himself to accept her and even attempted to get himself drunk,

but he simply was not interested in Maia.

Catelyn, on the other hand, somehow awakened the urges he had suppressed and buried for years.

‘Darn it!’ he mentally spat and drank all the wine he had poured into the glass.

Alas, not even the cold wine could appease the indescribable frustration he felt, so he went to call Edwin.

“Come out and drink with me. I’m at Riverdale Entertainment Club.”

Catelyn ran out of the room and into the washroom. In the reflection of the mirror, she saw a girl with

silky black hair and pink cheeks, but her lips were slightly swollen.

She hastily put on a thick layer of lip balm onto her lips so that she would appear less discomfited.

She desperately wanted to curse at the entire Mason family. When exactly had she given Cedrick the

impression that she was pursuing him?

She took a deep breath to suppress the anger in her chest and found the room

where John was located according to Alex. It was Room 6806.
