Our Billion-Worth Twins

Chapter 115

The image of Miles’ little face scrunching in pain flashed in Catelyn’s mind. She could almost see his long lashes quivering while he hissed in pain. Did something happen to Miles?! Her phone was not even with her, so she could not call the school to check on Miles. Catelyn turned the stove off, untied her apron, and hastily left it on the hanger before she headed downstairs to borrow a phone from the shop below. Once she opened the door, she was stunned at the sight before her. Cedrick stood right before her door. His black eyes glimmered with a strange glint, and he stared straight into Catelyn’s eyes as soon as she opened the door. He reeked of tobacco, too. Catelyn was shocked by the man, and her eyes widened. “Master…Cedrick?” Cedrick suddenly lunged forward like a leopard, and his hand caught Catelyn by her throat. He took two to three steps forward and pinned Catelyn to the wall, his eyes still locking onto hers. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

“What’s so good about you, Catelyn?”

Ollie was downright obsessed with her, even when he was unconscious. He could still be murmuring her name in his sleep and wanting to see her so badly. It felt as though even after all these years of being his father, he was nothing compared to Catelyn, whom Ollie had only known for a few days. Before this, Cedrick gazed as his son was asleep, but he soon heard him murmur Catelyn’s name in his sleep Just like last time when he ran away from home and got caught, he was muttering incessantly that he wanted his mother.

Cedrick had enough of that, and before he realized it, he was already at Ocean Path Residence. While he did not know Catelyn’s apartment number, he got Eason to look into it while he was on the way. He came here with a chest full of grudges, but when he finally stood before her apartment, he felt like a complete idiot, so he stood by the window and smoked a cigarette, thinking of calming himself down before he headed home.

He did not expect Catelyn to open her door at that very moment.

Cedrick was reminded of Ollie when he saw Catelyn. Somehow, she and Ollie resembled one another, especially in terms of their eyes. The sight of her triggered him, causing him to lose his cool as he pushed her against the wall.

Catelyn, all this while, was clueless as to the mental war he was having. All she thought of was that he was here to deliver her phone, not for him to suddenly grab her by the throat! “Let…me g-go!” Catelyn tried to peel his hands away and pounded on his chest. “Cedrick, let go of me! This is…against…the law!” Cedrick saw her lips turning purple and her pretty little face twitching in agony. Her clothes were ruffled as she struggled, her collars opened wide and showed her beautiful clavicle.

The bandaid on her forehead also seemed to be extra obvious in this angle. He suddenly realized what he was doing. His temples pulsed as he immediately released Catelyn, who hunched and coughed. Her mind was blank from the lack of oxygen, and her shoulders shuddered. Her eyes reddened into a darker red from all that coughing, and she stared at Cedrick furiously like an enraged beast. “Do you know I can sue you for this? I’ll sue you for breaking in and deliberately injuring me!” Cedrick was a little remorseful, “Do you need me to help you call 911?”

Was he so certain that she would not win the case? Catelyn, far past her limit, pointed at the door and shouted, “Get out! You’re not welcomed at my house!”
