Chapter 350

Chapter 350 Cedrick, standing in a distance, pursed his lips as he shot Catelyn an icy glare. Worried that he would misunderstand the situation, Catelyn hastily stepped away from the man's arms and smiled sheepishly.

Cedrick strode toward them while Catelyn met him halfway. She had no idea why he did not reply to her message the day before, but she was willing to let it pass since he sent her lilies.

To her bewilderment, he abruptly pulled her into his arms when they were half a meter away from one another. The sheer strength in the motion placed Catelyn in an illusion that her lungs were pressed together, and she struggled to catch her breath.

Catelyn gazed up at Cedrick in shock, not knowing what possessed him. The next instant, Cedrick glanced at the man standing across him casually and uttered jokingly, "Nine, I might just get angry if you keep staring at my woman like that." David tore his eyes off Catelyn expressionlessly. "I haven't had the chance to congratulate you on finding a new girlfriend, cousin." Among the main family branch of the Mason family, Cedrick was the only grandchild of the family's elder, while the elder's sister had nine grandchildren, with David being the youngest

Everyone would address him as the Ninth Master.

Cedrick and David were cousins and were both around their late twenties. They rarely talked and even held grudges due to certain events in the past.

When Catelyn heard Cedrick addressing the man 'Nine', she realized that the gentle-looking man before was the celebrated Ninth Master of the Mason family. She had heard tales of him

forcing three industrial giants into selling their properties to the Mason family with ease over a single night. Since then, he was infamously known as Cedrick's equal.

"I'll notify you when we get married."

David took a handkerchief out of his pocket and wiped the hand he used to hold the fish meal before responding casually, "I'm alright with it. I'm just concerned that Miss Maia Clark would be upset." "It's not something you need to worry about."

"The lotus could hardly hold a candle to the beauty of a woman." David tossed the stained handkerchief into the rubbish bin and smirked. "It's a pleasure meeting you, Miss Clark. I look forward to welcoming you into our family."

Even after David left, Catelyn was left baffled, wondering if that last sentence was meant to be a compliment to her.

Sensing the icy presence looming over her, she glanced at the man standing next to her while he observed her with dark eyes.

He tilted her chin up, applying slight force on the tips of his fingers. "What did Nine say to

you?"

"I slipped, and he helped steady me. We didn't say anything to each other." She tried to push

him away to escape the unpleasant feeling of having her chin held in place.

He simply reached down to grab her wrist and lowered his head to retrieve wet tissues from his bag, before proceeding to wipe every single finger on her hand that David had touched thoroughly. He was practically scrubbing her skin off as though she had touched something extremely filthy. Suddenly, Catelyn realized that David seemed to have touched her wrist when he was helping her up earlier. 'Is that why Cedrick thinks my hand is dirty?" she thought. Rumor had it that Cedrick was not close to his cousin David, but judging from the circumstances, it seemed as though the two even resented one another. The back of her hand soon turned red and she jerked it away. "Alright, it's clean now! I will just go wash my hands later. My skin is going to come off if you keep going."
