Chapter 367

Javier's parents were overseas all year round.

At this hour, he was the only one living in a villa near the Mason Estate. He sat on the carpet on the bedroom floor with a gamepad in his hand, killing monsters on the LCD screen that hung on the wall. He kept yelling as he played as if venting out his anger within.

This was when his phone started to ring, but with him so immersed in his game, he had no intention of picking up.

Alas, the phone kept ringing, and even when it stopped, another round of ringing would start.

In the end, Javier threw the gamepad in annoyance and went to get his phone.

Just as he wanted to start swearing as he picked up the phone, he saw the number on his phone screen.

It was Catelyn.

Javier almost dropped his phone at the name, but he cleared his throat and stammered, "C... Catelyn? You're still up so late?"

With an obvious guilty conscience and flattery in his voice, Catelyn was almost certain that Javier was up to something.

She could feel the blood in her body start boiling. She tightened her fist and snarled, "Did you call those people? Why would you do this to me?"

Cedrick, who was in the master bedroom just next door, was also tossing and turning on his bed.

He got up from his bed and went toward the small balcony in his bedroom. He stood quietly beside the railing, his gaze falling faintly into the distance.

His phone vibrated, and a text message came in.

It was from an anonymous number.

(Master Cedrick, shall we proceed with the next plan?) Cedrick frowned deeply as he read the text.

After what seemed to be a long time, he replied, (Everything is going according to plan.)

'You betrayed me first, Catelyn.' He pinched the cigarette butt on the ashtray and quietly came to the second bedroom.

Cedrick's eyes fell on the door, and after a while, he twisted the doorknob and opened the door. The room was quiet and dark, save for a small dim light next to the bed. Catelyn was lying on the bed, breathing evenly as if she had fallen asleep. There was also an opened fairytale book

on the bedside table as if she had read it before falling asleep.

Cedrick pursed his thin lips tightly. He stood quietly at the side of the bed and watched her for a while

After a long time, he walked slowly to the edge of the bed and brushed his fingers across her evebrows. His fingertips moved down her slightly frowning brows and landed on her lips, and he then gently traced the shape of her lips with his fingers.

Cedrick leaned over and dropped a kiss on her lips.

A light breeze blew in from the window, quickly blowing away the kiss he gave her as if it never happened. Ollie came to the Mason Estate early that morning the moment he learned that Catelyn was resting here. "Mommy, why didn't you sleep with Daddy?"

As soon as Catelyn woke up, she saw the little boy lying beside her on the bed with an excited look Catelyn opened her sleepy eyes and blinked a few times, only to realize that she was not dreaming

After she finished the phone call with Javier last night, her whole body was so tense. It took her a while, but she finally relaxed and fell asleep eventually. In her sleep, she could faintly feel that someone was staring at her.
