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?
His engagement with Maia was not supposed to be called off. Was she truly a homewrecker?
Catelyn’s lashes quivered at this, and she fell silent.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCatelyn was dropped off at the entrance of Ocean Park Residence.
She was supposed to get some groceries along the way home, but she was so exhausted that all she
wanted was to lie on the bed.
As she was nearing her apartment, the guard greeted her.
Catelyn had a good relationship with most of her neighbors, and she would, at times, buy fruits and
share with the guards.
“Ah, you’re back, Miss Clark! A man has been waiting for you for some time now.”
“A man?” Catelyn was surprised to hear that.
“Yes.” The guard nodded and briefly told the height of the man as he spoke, “He resembled Miles, so I

blocking her vision. Catelyn was forced to look him in the eyes, and Jamie’s eyes were lit with jealousy. It
was as though he just caught Catelyn with someone. He bumped into Lori at the hospital last night after
smashing his phone.
It was then he was told that a few men had assaulted Queenie and, worse still, was even broadcasted to
the whole hall. Numerous media, reporters, and guests recorded the scene. The clip went viral! Catelyn,
however, had no clue what Queenie experienced.
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
