Chapter 795
Cedrick hurried to the cemetery. After receiving an affirmative reply, saying that Catelyn was there, his mind
was finally at ease.
He walked into the cemetery quietly but hastily, and when he was close to where Catelyn was, he
deliberately slowed down so as to not startle her.
In the distance, he saw a slim figure leaning on a tombstone. The lifeless monument made the woman look a
little more delicate.
Catelyn could vaguely hear faint footsteps behind her before she was engulfed in the dark shadow of a man.
Catelyn did not need to turn to know who it was—no one but Cedrick would come here.
She rapidly blinked away her tears, stood up, and walked past him as if nothing happened.
"Why did you come here?" Cedrick took a big step in an oblique direction and stood in front of her, halting
her in her steps.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCatelyn's eyes slowly moved up along his shiny, black leather shoes, black trousers, and high-end suits, and
eventually stopped at his deep eyes, she then said firmly, "I didn't keep my promise, so I came to apologize
to Daphne."
‘Daphne? You changed the way you addressed her?!'
Cedrick took out the sticky note that Catelyn had left in Green Islands from his wallet. "If you want to divorce me,
then explain this."
On the sticky note was Eulalie, a lyrical poem that expressed the wife's wish to help her husband to overcome his
sadness and to stay with him until the end of time.
That was totally different from what they were at the moment.
Catelyn knew that poem should not be left, she laughed at herself, and her voice was so emotionless as if she was
talking to a stranger. "Take that as a blessing from me. I hope you can remember me for a lifetime."
Cedrick was hurt by Catelyn's words as his heart tightened. "I just went to Shoal Valley to see Joanne, she fessed up
already, so why don't you choose to believe me? I can fight Grandpa for you!"
Catelyn stared at him blankly as her eyes widened. Her mind blanked for a moment. 'Does he...know?'
"As long as you're willing, our current predicament is nothing of a dilemma." Cedrick stared at her intently.
The guilt in her eyes was evident to Cedrick. As long as he kept trying to lure her into telling the truth, she would
lose control and spill the beans in the end.
Before Cedrick could continue, Catelyn suddenly took a step back defensively.
"You're lying! Why would Joanne tell you anything? You ran over my mother!
"Yeah, I am in a dilemma to choose between my family and my lover, but who cares?! Forget about your conspiracy
theory. I love you, but I don't like you anymore. I came back to you just for my children!"
Catelyn would never tell him the truth, she was lying to him.
"Swear with your children that you don't love me anymore, then!" Cedrick stared at her as his eyes reddened.
"Children have never been a tool for my curse."
"Then that means you still love me! What exactly did Grandpa do to you?" Cedrick squeezed her shoulders with
both hands. If this went on before the truth was told, this whole thing could make him go insane!
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCatelyn had made up her mind, she did not want to be in that situation anymore, so she roared back
impatiently, "No one did anything; you caused all this! You said you didn't hit my mother, but you insisted
on not telling me what you did and where you went on the night she had an accident!"
Cedrick suddenly loosened his grasp on her shoulders, and his body started to sway.
Catelyn knew that it must be something he did not want to tell, and that unexpectedly seemed to be a good
excuse she could use for her lies.
She pulled her fingers away, one by one, and when Cedrick's arms fell from her shoulders, that gave her the
feeling of losing the most important thing in her life.
Just when she was about to go, however, he grabbed her hand and hoarsely spoke, "If I tell you what I did
that day, would you come back to me?"
Catelyn almost fell by that surprising grasp.
Cedrick was backing down for her again. He did not want to say all this the night she first questioned him,
but at this moment, he was faltering.
However, Catelyn did not want him to become so selfless for her anymore.
He should be the king who would not bow his head for anything or anyone.
She decided to leave him cruelly this time as she said with an emotionless, derisive expression, "Alright
then, fess up right in front of your mother's tombstone. Let's hear about your shameful scandal."
