Chapter 353
Cedrick and Catelyn walked along the long corridor and passed by the willow trees. The tree leaves
hung lowly, casting star-like shadows on the floor as the sunlight shone through the leaves.
The wind blew faintly, causing the branches to dance and sending strands of Catelyn’s hair fluttering
Catelyn tucked the strands of hair that blocked her vision behind her ear. Cedrick stopped walking and
turned to look at Catelyn wordlessly.
Catelyn was flustered from being stared at by Cedrick and thus asked shyly, “Aren’t we going to the
washroom?”
Cedrick’s eyes flashed with a myriad of emotions, and the creases between his eyebrows became
deeper. Catelyn had never liked it when Cedrick frowned, yet he frowned a lot as a habit.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe reached her hand out to smoothen his frowns, but as soon as her fingertip grazed his skin, Cedrick
grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his arms.
Catelyn thought he was going to say something, but he bent down to plant a kiss in between her
eyebrows. His kiss was so soft and gentle, like a dove that flew past without leaving a trace behind.
Catelyn felt a spark in her heart.
She could sense that Cedrick had something in his mind, and she wanted nothing more than to take
away his worry but had no idea where to start. She closed her eyes and tilted her head up, deepening
their kiss.
Catelyn washed her hands and looked at her reflection in the washroom mirror before she scooped a
handful of water and splashed it onto her cheeks.
Catelyn’s phone rang at that moment.
It was Joanne, calling.
“Joanne?”
“Cat, I’ve contacted the person you’ve asked me to. He’s a fan of mine, and he said he could get you a
new identity card and passport with two hundred thousand dollars. He’s even able to send you to another
country safely,” Joanne started blabbering the moment Catelyn picked up the phone, sounding excited
and nervous.
“Cat, I got to ask you, though… Are you sure you want to do this?”
Catelyn listened to Joanne and peeped outside the washroom.
Cedrick should still be in the male washroom and would not be able to hear her.
However, she walked over to another corner and uttered softly under her breath, “Just help me get it
done. I’ll transfer the money over.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJoanne paused for a moment.
“Alright, I respect your decision.”
Catelyn walked out of the washroom and found Cedrick leaning on a wall outside of the washroom.
With a cigarette between his fingers, he inhaled the smoke produced by the tobacco without taking a
puff.
She leaned forward.
“You seem to be smoking a lot lately,” she remarked as she took the cigarette from his hand and took a
puff. The smoke of the cigarette was not as strong, and Catelyn was not bothered by it.
She then took a second puff, and a third, when Cedrick finally said, “Put it out.”
Catelyn blew out a cloud of smoke toward him. “I’ll finish it for you; let’s not be so wasteful.”
The cloud of smoke blurred his vision. He repeated himself, but sternly and more determined, “Put it out.”
