Our Billion-Worth Twins

Chapter 277

Chapter 277 Cedrick’s voice was nasally and sounded like he was up all night. The time on Catelyn’s screen showed that it was nine in the morning. Cedrick was probably still in bed by this hour. “Nothing, I accidentally pressed on your contact. Have a good rest.” Catelyn hung up without hesitation. The thought that Cedrick and Lola had slept together made her feel queasy, but Catelyn quickly shook her head. ‘Sweet, sweet Catelyn. Why do you even care?’ No, she did not care. She just could not accept that, after sleeping with Lola, there might still be a chance that Cedrick would sleep with her.

Yes, that must be the reason. Catelyn tried to explain to herself, but the agitation did not leave her. She regretted having dialed him.

Cedrick, who just sat up from his bed in the Barricade Club and heard the end-call beeps, had a similarly grim expression. Catelyn slipped Lola into his room, yet she was the one throwing a tantrum? He really should not have spoiled her so much.

He lifted the duvet and wanted to get off the bed, but a faint dizzy spell hit him.

Cedrick rubbed his temples.

After chasing Lola away yesterday, he was a little drunk and fell asleep on the sofa.

Maybe he caught a cold.

Catelyn vehemently tried to eradicate the thoughts of Lola and Cedrick. Her interview at Mason Group would be on Wednesday, and that weekend would be the final round for Chandier Jewelry designing competition. She did not have much time left, especially when everyone else had started preparing for the finals half a month ago. Catelyn, on the other hand, only got in halfway through, so time was not on her side at all. She had to buckle up. However, feelings of conflict would still haunt her every time she thought of Cedrick Lola promised that if Catelyn allowed her to sleep with Cedrick, she would let Catelyn be the champion.

She supposed that in this case, she had betrayed Cedrick somehow.

The following few days, both Cedrick and Catelyn never contacted each other, as though forgetting each other’s presence. Even if Ollie deliberately talked about Cedrick, Catelyn would casually respond and divert the conversation to something else. Similarly, she would do this at Mason Estate.

Ollie longed for Catelyn to be back at the Estate again, but his wish was never fulfilled. Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

He knew that Catelyn was very tied down recently, so he had been obedient at the Estate, as he should.

During dinner, Ollie looked at the bland dishes on the table and quietly took a bite. It puzzled him, too, why he craved spices and flavors already. Cedrick took one glance at Ollie and frowned slightly. He then scooped some vegetables onto his plate. “Don’t be picky,” chastised Cedrick, his tone awkward yet gentle altogether. It was rare for Ollie to see such a patient Cedrick He looked at his father, and pursed his tiny lips before saying, “Father, did you make Aunt Catelyn angry?” Cedrick’s gentle expression grew taut once more. “How did you know?”

“She had not visited me in a long time.” Ollie noticed that Cedrick’s temper was better than he usually was.

Even if his face was still indifferent, he was not as unapproachable as he usually was.

He frowned and said, “I read a lot of books recently, and these books said men are born to spoil women, so you need to stop being mysterious, or Aunt Catelyn might not want you anymore.”

Cedrick looked at him through the corner of his eyes and did not say anything. Ollie grew more confident, however, as he shrugged. “Like how you are right now; refusing to say anything if you are not happy.”
