Chapter 136 Lori’s face was also full of disgust. “To put it bluntly, she did it for the money!” “Don’t say that. Catelyn… doesn’t look like someone who would betray anyone for money,” said Louella. She secretly felt a little joyous as she listened to the two trash-talking Catelyn. The more the Mason family looked down on Catelyn, the less likely Jamie would get back together with Catelyn. However, Jamie just kept his face sullen and said nothing. If he had not regretted his marriage back then, he would be the one standing beside Catelyn today. Seeing Jamie’s expression, Louella’s expression sank again. The only thing she saw in him was regret.
Meanwhile, on the dance floor. Edwin had said something which made Catelyn smile shyly. She was even blushing. Cedrick’s gaze fell uncontrollably on the two of them, and his expression was also gloomy. What are they talking about? What is so funny? Edwin had been known to be a chick magnet. Has Catelyn also fallen into his trap? Maia also looked at the two of them on the dance floor with jealousy. How did they get everyone’s attention?
She immediately walked toward Cedrick’s side and looked at him with eyes full of hope and affection.
“Master Cedrick, I had talked too much just now. Look, Edwin and Catelyn are both dancing over there. Why don’t we go too?” Catelyn was given the opportunity to demonstrate her piano skills earlier, but Maia would not allow her to dominate the dance floor now.
Cedrick wanted to refuse initially, but his eyes narrowed dangerously as he locked his gaze on Edwin and Catelyn. “Okay,” he said.
Maia’s heart was beating wildly as she did not expect Cedrick to agree immediately. Maia peeked at him shyly as they both entered the dance floor together. Soothing music started playing. Maia followed the beat of the music with her every step, maintaining her usual nobility and
elegance as she danced. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
At the same time, Maia desperately tried to find a topic to talk about with Cedrick while they danced to make it appear to outsiders that they were having a good time together.
“You gave grandpa a golden chest set before, and grandpa said he liked it very much,” said Maia. Cedrick responded in a distracted voice, “Yeah.” “When are you going to visit Grandpa?” “I’ll go when I’m free.” “Grandpa would definitely need someone to play his new chess set. I believe he will be very happy if you’re with him,” said Maia as she put her small hand on his shoulder, sniffing his strong masculine scent.
She saw a reporter taking a candid photo of them, and the ladies around looked envious. At this moment, Maia was feeling prideful and satisfied. “My goodness, Ms. Clark is really beautiful. Master Cedrick is so handsome too…”
“I wish I could dance with Master Cedrick…”
“Master Edwin is not bad either, Catelyn also looked very beautiful in his arms…”
“Speaking of which, it’s such a pity for Catelyn. Before the Clark Family went bankrupt, there were so many men going after her…” As Maia listened to the gossip and discussions of the people around, she started dancing more attentively. Out of the corner of her eyes, Maia took a glance at Catelyn and Edwin. Although Catelyn danced pretty well, she had not done so for four years, and she was starting to be unable to keep up with Edwin.
‘Heh, she was a bumpkin after all,’ thought Maia. Meanwhile, Edwin was awkwardly chatting with Catelyn.
