Chapter 294

Cedrick’s features tensed further as Catelyn spoke, and he pursed his lips.

Seeing that he did not respond, Catelyn turned to look at him and sincerely added, “There’s an old saying that says children and women are the hardest to please. You’re not a woman nor a child, so can’t you just forgive me? Maybe I can give you my lipstick and you can draw on my face as well.”

“…” The silence in the air remained.

Catelyn hated the silence treatment more than anything and began to develop an urge to stop the car by grabbing the steering wheel. Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

Screech!

He stepped onto the brake abruptly, followed by the piercing noise of the tires, and Catelyn came close to jerking forward again.

Wordlessly, Cedrick unbuckled his seatbelt and got out of the car. Catelyn was not sure what he was doing at first until she glanced in the direction he was heading toward. The car was stopped before the door of a known restaurant, and Cedrick had gone inside to buy breakfast.

It was likely that Cedrick had informed the restaurant ahead of time, because he walked out carrying a few bags and two cups of coffee in merely a couple of minutes.

He handed the coffee and food to Catelyn and said, “Not everyone has such low standards for food like you do.”

She opened the bag to find steaming pancakes inside. They were pan-fried to a golden color with syrup drizzled on top of them, oozing a salivating scent as she opened the bag.

“T-These are for me?” Catelyn was shocked.

Cedrick scowled. “Who else are these for?”

Catelyn suddenly realized that she had falsely accused Cedrick of being petty.

Although he did not stop the car at the restaurant she pointed at earlier, he only did so to bring her here for breakfast instead. He knew that she was in a hurry and even ordered it ahead of time for her.

“So you weren’t trying to get back at me?”

Cedrick started the car and reminded her to fasten her seatbelt before giving her a sidelong glance. “I’m not as childish as you think I am.”

Catelyn took a bite of the pancake. It tasted different from any pancake she had ever had. It looked as though it was fried but was soft, and though she could not quite describe the taste, it was wonderful.

She licked the oil on her lips and felt slightly guilty. After swallowing the bite, she leaned toward him, coquettishly asking, “Why didn’t you explain just now? 1 …misunderstood you.” Cedrick was focusing on driving when he glanced at her face, only to notice her motion of

licking the oil at the corner of her mouth.

The sunlight shone into the car, and her lips appeared shiny with the coat of oil on them. ‘Kissing her now must taste good,’ he thought to himself as his eyes darkened eagerly. He looked away calmly and said, “I just wanted to see just how bad a person you think I am.” Considering the things he had done for her, she decided not to argue with him and grinned at him cheerfully. “I was wrong for thinking of you that way. I apologize, okay?” Her eyes darted away before she pinched a piece off the pancake and held it next to Cedrick’s mouth. “The pancake says to tell you thanks for buying it for me. It’s time to repay you now. Master Cedrick, will you do me the honor and eat this?” she pleaded feebly. When Cedrick caught a

whiff of the scent of syrup, he glanced at her sticky fingers and moved away. “Did you even wash your hands? Feeding it to me like that” Before he could finish, she immediately shoved the bite-size pancake into his mouth as he spoke. Cedrick’s grip on the steering wheel tightened, and the car came close to swerving.
