Chapter 1612
Catelyn sighed with resignation.
She told Cedrick that she was jogging outside, but she had just arrived home from the hotel.
She went home secretly when Edwin and Joanne were sleeping soundly.
Catelyn went to the restroom, scooped up some cold water with her hands, splashed it to her face, and mussed her hair as if she was covered with sweat after a jog.
Then Catelyn answered the video call. The expressionless Cedrick showed up on the screen.
Catelyn felt guilty and greeted Cedrick warmly, "Honey, good morning..."
Cedrick looked at Catelyn with a sharp gaze. She had a hangover, so her skin looked sallow. Besides, she hadn't put on any makeup and thus looked tired. Cedrick's face clouded over immediately.
These years, Cedrick had tried his best to shorten his business trip. He even avoided to go to cities far away or go abroad.
To his surprise, on the first night that he left home, she stayed out all night.
Cedrick kept silent. Catelyn observed his expression and found that his expression didn't soften. She knew that she was screwed.
She didn't expect that she would have fun with them and even stay out all night!
She was a mother with three kids. Usually, her work and the three kids were the centers of her life. Sometimes, she spent time with Cedrick alone.
She hadn’t gone out to have fun with her friends for a long time...
"Catelyn, is this because I haven't given you enough freedom? I even can only learn that you had fun all night outside from Edwin's Twitter. How did I remind you last night? I reminded you to let the driver drive you home on time!"
Cedrick felt disappointed.
Tm the rein around Catelyn's neck. As long as I'm not by her side, she is a runaway horse...'
Catelyn couldn't help but shiver. She had a brainwave, bluffed, and retorted, "It wasn't all night. It was just several hours... I would like to chat and drink with Joanne. I didn't expect that I would meet Jack and Edwin. I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to do that. I will tell you in advance next time..."
"Next time?"
'Doesn't she know how old she is? How could she have fun all night like pupils?'
Cedrick's poker face told Catelyn that he was very angry.
Cedrick exaggerated it.
But she sweet-talked, "I was about to call you and tell you that, but I was afraid that I would disturb you if you were busy with working. To my surprise, we were in sync. You called me to ask me about that."
Hearing her sweet words, Cedrick kept silent and fixed his eyes on her.
Facing his poker face, Catelyn felt terrified.
She could tell from his gaze that he didn't believe her words.
Catelyn felt extremely embarrassed and looked uneasy.
She blinked at him, acted cute, and tried to muddle through.
"Honey, what I said is true. Please forgive me this time. If you still feel angry, you can scold me to give vent to your anger. Please don't give me the silent treatment. I promise that I will forgive you no matter what mistake you will make as long as you forgive me this time."
To comfort Cedrick, Catelyn even made such a shameless promise.
However, Cedrick still didn't cool down.
He arched his eyebrows and said meaningfully, "You promise that you will forgive me when I make a mistake next time as long as I forgive you this time. Is our marriage a deal? If you have a lover one day, I can get even with you by finding a lover. Is that so?"
