Chapter 161
“I just want to be safe. What if?”
“There is no ‘what if’. Only one woman in this world can conceive my child,” retorted Cedrick curtly, his gaze darker than ink. The sunlight was refracted by the windowpanes and onto his body as though casting a faint halo on him.
She could not see through him. She could not understand.
Catelyn’s fists that rested on her knees retracted as she tugged lightly at her pant legs. Was Cedrick talking about Maia?

She looked at Jamie quietly. Other than irony, she felt disappointed.
The Jamie she once knew was opportunistic but was still ethically sensible.
At this moment, a few years later, he had turned into a stranger that she no longer knew. “No matter who I was with, I won’t entertain you.”
