Chapter 283 Catelyn’s long hair was natural; it was not dyed nor was it permed.
Cedrick’s long finger twined around strands of her hair slowly, the interaction downright intimate like
actual lovers. However, his gaze was cold and distant.
Deal?
So, Catelyn only defined what was between them as a deal.
All the good and bad things he had done for her had never won her over.
Catelyn lost her words. Her hair was in his hands, and he was sniffing lightly on it. His low and deep
voice was heard again, dripping with an ominous undertone, “Unless you’re in someone else’s bed right
after you left mine?”
Catelyn’s eyes widened as it all dawned on her.
She shook her head furiously.
The elevator door opened, and Catelyn was forced to the door of her apartment.

Everything she had treasured would be gone if he saw this!
Catelyn slowly fumbled through her pockets for her keys.
Just when she was going to lie that she did not bring her keys, Cedrick’s thumb gently caressed her lips.
“I don’t quite like this color.”
She was wearing a lip tint in a darker shade than what she used to wear.
The area that he just touched seemed to feel slightly warmer than the rest. Catelyn tried hard to conceal
her nervousness as she maintained the smile on her face. “I’ve just finished my older one. Doesn’t this
suit my complexion more?”
“I don’t think so,” he said casually. Suddenly, Cedrick leaned forward, and his lips locked onto hers. “Let
me remove it for you.”
Her airway was seized with the kiss as his fingers ran through her hair. Unbeknown to her, however, his
slender hand reached into her purse and fumbled slightly, and it did not take him long to fish out a bunch
of keys.
It was not long until she heard her front door clicking open. It was nearing dusk, and the remaining rays
from the sunset painted her floor golden.
Catelyn’s brain stopped working at that very moment, and all she could think of was
Oh, no!
However, Cedrick’s eyes scanned around her living room, and finally, his gaze was fixated on the pile
of…
Designer bags, clothes, and shoes.
Cedrick did not expect the living room to turn out such clutter, and his temples pulsed at the sight.
Catelyn was so nervous that she almost forgot to breathe, but after a few seconds, her apartment was
still silent.
Usually, if Miles heard the door open, he would come running to the front door and get her slippers for
her.

Miles was out of sight today.
Was he…not home?
Catelyn followed Cedrick’s gaze to look toward her messy bags, clothes, and purses. Everything was
new, unopened, and piling on top of each other. She was relieved, and her eyes curved into a smile
again., “See? I told you not to come in. I’m embarrassed!” Then, she deliberately brought her face close
to Cedrick’s and winked. “You won’t loathe me now, will you?” However, Catelyn was still puzzled by the
situation. Miles should be at home after school, so where could he have gone at this hour? “A little
loathsome, yes…” Cedrick pulled her back into his chest and inhaled into her hair once more. “Though,
this is the woman that I chose; no returns and no exchanges.”
She should be the one to have said that.
“Where is your son? Ask him to come here, I’ve brought him a present.” Cedrick brushed his cheek
lightly against hers and released her to wander around the living room like an explorer would.
