Chapter 739
Catelyn was startled when she realized that it was David. "It's...you? II
She almost thought he was Cedrick.
"What happened to you?" David's face under his golden framed spectacles seemed so gentle.
Catelyn relied on her willpower to support her body, recalling that Cedrick did not like her getting too close to David.
She then leaned against the wall and panted heavily. Her face was blushing as though she was drunk.
"I just drank a little too much, don't worry. I'll be fine in a bit..."
David did not detect any scent of alcohol on her and thus believed her, and while he was skeptical of her answer, he
did not expose her either. He merely said, "Let me send you home, or I should ask Cedrick to come pick you up?"
"He s—should be here soon."

would leave.
At that moment, Maribel came by. she saw David standing next to her and felt a little shaken. However, she noticed
that Catelyn was trying to keep a distance from him and also looked guarded.
He must not be someone she was familiar with.
Maribel went over, and asked tentatively, "Hello, sir! Are you friends with my colleague?"
David's dark eyes took a brief glance at Maribel and said, "No." 'No? That's great!'
Maribel immediately said, "Can you leave her to me, please? She's drunk, so I'll bring her back for a rest."
Catelyn was about to open her mouth and explain herself, but her head was hurting really badly. Her voice was
stuck in her throat, but she could at least remember not to follow Maribel. Therefore, she subconsciously scooted
toward David.
Without propping herself against the wall, Catelyn lost her balance and fell right into David's arms.
David frowned. His long arms embraced her to his chest as he listened to her mumbles.
Maribel was stunned, she could not let Catelyn go just like that; this was a rare opportunity. If she let her go now, it
would be her going to jail instead!
She immediately went forward to tug at Catelyn's arm. "Kitty, please follow me! Look how drunk you are... You're
going to have a terrible hangover tomorrow!"
The more she tugged at her, the more Catelyn clung to David's chest. Both her hands gripped firmly onto his collar,
so much so that the fabric was wrinkled.
It was winter, but David was dressed simply in a shirt and a coat. Thus, when Catelyn grabbed onto him like that, it
basically meant grabbing onto his chest muscles. David frowned even more.
This was Cedrick's wife. In fact, he should address her as his cousin -in-law by right.

Maribel's arm. He
looked as though he was never gentle with girls and immediately flung Maribel away.
Maribel's head knocked right onto a vase in the corridor. The last thing she saw was the world going dark before
she passed out instantly.
"Mmh..." Catelyn turned her cheek and stuck right onto David's chest.
David hugged her and had no choice but to walk downstairs.
As he made a turn, he spotted Cedrick with an ever-present dark expression. He looked at David's hand at Catelyn's
waist, and his tone grew cold as though he squeezed the word hard from his throat, "Let go of her."
"Sorry, I didn't mean to touch your wife." David was straightforward too. He removed his hand from Catelyn and
pushed her from her back toward Cedrick.
Catelyn let out a soft whimper and fell forward to Cedrick, who caught her safely with both arms.
His lips touched her forehead gently. She was not feverish, but her body was weak and limp as though she had no
bones.
