Chapter 266
Cedrick opened his mouth and took the watermelon into his mouth, the tip of the fork included.
Catelyn tried pulling the fork out of his mouth, thinking that Cedrick would bite the watermelon,
but he did not budge.
The end of the fork was stained with a bit of lipstick.
Cedrick stared at her meaningfully and sucked at the red lipstick mark on the tip of the silver fork
cleanly.
It felt as though the fork was scalding hot at that moment that channeled its way to Catelyn's
chest.
Her hand trembled, and she almost dropped the fork.
Just as Catelyn was about to excuse herself to the washroom, Cedrick let go of the fork and
gracefully picked up the napkin to wipe the corners of his mouth.
A smile gradually formed on his face. "The lipstick tasted good. Do use it again next time," said
Cedrick.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCatelyn wanted to scold him, she truly did, yet all that came out of her was, "This is a very
expensive lipstick."
She decided to never use this lipstick ever again!
However, Cedrickdid not seem to catch what she meant. "I'll buy it for you," he said, raising his
eyebrows.
Catelyn was speechless. That was not what she meant!
Defeated, she decided that it was perhaps best to just be silent.
Cedrick was in a surprisingly good mood, so much so that he did not even seem to mind too much
about Catelyn keeping secrets from him. "Don't forget that I’m your boyfriend now. If there is anything
you wish for, you have to tell me," he reminded her.
Catelyn supposed that Cedrick probably knew what happened in Chandier Jewelry today.
"I don't want to trouble you. I know you're busy with work."
"It's not all about being happy when I'm with you," said Cedrick. He pushed the plate of cut steak in
front of her and brought over the plate which she did not cut.
His movements and actions were so smooth that he looked natural.
Catelyn smiled.
Could she bear everything? She knew that she went to him for Miles' sake. It would gut her to separate
from him in the future if she spent more time with him, would it not?
The moment they called the bill, Catelyn thought of paying for the meal as she was the one who invited
Cedrick out. One look at the bill, however, made her eyes widen.
It was more than 4500 dollars. Why was it so expensive?
Cedrick noticed her expression and teased her deliberately, "I remembered ordering a bottle of wine,"
he said innocently. "Is it expensive?"
Catelyn swallowed her pride and answered, "No, it's not."
The bottle of wine was worth 4000 dollars, and to Catelyn, it was definitely expensive. To Cedrick,
however, it was not even worth raising a brow.
"In that case, waiter, get me another bottle of red wine," said Cedrick.
Catelyn was speechless. She thought of her bank balance and realized that she could not bear

In a hurry, she quickly tugged Cedrick’s shirt and said, "I see there's a lot of red wine stored in
your estate, and there are few other better ones. Should we just forget about this?"
However, Cedrick was serious. "This bottle has low alcohol content. It's a sweet wine, so you can
drink it, too."
Catelyn had a tendency to cause trouble when she was drunk. This bottle of wine seemed to be
just right for her.
"Madam, your husband already bought it for you," said the waiter with a smile, apparently not
aware of Cedrick's identity.
"My husband?" muttered Catelyn.
She was stunned for a moment as she realized the waiter had misunderstood their relationship.
Forget about chickening out, then. They would just get that bottle!
Catelyn had worked hard for Chandier Jewelry Competition, anyway, and surely grand rewards
for entering the top ten.
Gritting her teeth, Catelyn took out her purse. Just as she was about to take out her credit card
and hand it to the waiter, Cedrick's palm suddenly stretched out and held the back of her hand.
Catelyn looked at him, puzzled.
