Chapter 528

Even if she could only injure his chest or his shoulder, that would be better than being stuck right at where she was.

Having nothing else to say, Catelyn looked at Cedrick and turned toward her room.

She slammed the door shut and even double-locked her door.

She even moved the cabinet to keep the door shut to prevent Cedrick from sneaking in the middle of the night.

In the living room, Cedrick looked at the master bedroom door locked shut, the smug on his face slowly fading away, replaced by a mix of dilemma and coldness.

Even if they continued, he would not let her go.

Ever since they crossed paths four years ago, they were fated to end up this way. Plus, the pair of twins were still waiting for him in the castle to bring her back.

The next day, Catelyn did not even have her breakfast and only came out of the room past eleven.

She thought Cedrick had left.

However, he moved his laptop and some documents to the living room and started working there.

Catelyn almost stole his phone to call 911 but realized that there was a high chance of her getting caught.

"You're up?" Cedrick heard the noises and placed his laptop back on the coffee table. "I got them to prepare breakfast for you. You must be hungry."

Catelyn did not say anything and merely sat before the dining table.

No matter how angry she was, she had to eat something.

She could only stand a chance to run away if she had the energy needed.

Soon, the meals were delivered to them, and they filled the rectangular dining table. The gravy smelled great, and everything looked appetizing, luring Catelyn to dig in as soon as she could.

Cedrick made an excuse. "Your eyes looked a little puffy. Did you not sleep well?"

Catelyn did not say a word but was quietly eating. She pretended that he was just air.

The room was so quiet that only Catelyn's even breathing could be heard, with her occasional chewing and swallowing sounds.

Cedrick raised his eyebrows slightly, and while Catelyn was getting more food into her plate, he deliberately nudged her with his elbow, attempting to break the ice.

However, before his arm could reach her, Catelyn stood up all of a sudden and grabbed the soup ladle to get some soup.

Their elbows missed each other. Cedrick's plan to fawn failed too, and his face sank.

Catelyn returned to her seat and continued to eat. He said, "Can we have a nice chat?"

Catelyn continued to eat her food slowly and did not even look at him.

Cedrick was displeased. His lips were pursed together.

He had already set his ego aside to talk to her nicely. What else did she want?

"Do you really wish to be like this forever? Don't you think about Ollie and Miles?"

Catelyn's eyes blinked, hearing the two babies' names, and she finally replied, "What is there to talk about?"

She finally gave him a reaction, and Cedrick's tense face was slightly relieved.

"They could not see you and are concerned about you. Give me a chance, do it for the kids, give me a chance to give them a complete family, please?"

"No way." Catelyn declined without hesitation.

Cedrick was defeated. He said coldly, "Do you wish for them to grow up in a broken family?"

"I do not."

Her nonchalant replies somehow triggered him. "Can't you just have a proper discussion with me?"

"I am."

Her continual brief answers finally angered him. He stood right up, and his chair skidded backward in impact.

The legs of the chair brushed harshly against the floorboard and produced a loud creak.

The tall man's shadows swallowed Catelyn's petite body...
