Our Billion-Worth Twins

Chapter 47

Chapter 47 Catelyn could not quite move and pouted in impatience before trying to move away to rest. “You’re not as cute as my baby.” Cedrick grabbed her by the wrist and, like a swift leopard, grabbed her by the knees and pulled her back. He scanned her from head to toe under the bright light, and she gaped in surprise. Her face was as red as the color of blood itself, and when her doe-like eyes widened, her pink lips opened slightly as though silently inviting him to close their distance. The two were inches away from each other, and the familiar sensation that tingled Cedrick’s palms reminded him of the chaotic night four years ago. Four years ago, Edwin had added an unknown substance into his drink, and as they clinked their glasses, Cedrick took it by accident. How could he not submit to the effect? After beating Edwin up, he went upstairs to the hotel to rest in hopes he could white knuckle through the effect.

It was then a woman barged into his room. Cedrick, at that point, was on the brink of losing control and thought that Edwin had sent him a woman. Everything that followed came naturally in the dark room, and ever since then, he fell in love with the scent of gardenias. When he woke up the next morning, he was alone in bed with only a stain of blood next to him, one that symbolized the innocence of a woman. After that, he even received a call from Edwin, who made fun of him. That was when he realized that he had laid his hands on the wrong person. He immediately went to check the surveillance footage to find out who got into his room, but because the hotel happened to be upgrading its system, the footage of the past seven days had all been erased. Along the line, Cedrick ordered the fragrance manufacturing department in his company to manufactureThis text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

the fragrance ‘No. 520’, which symbolized the room number where he had stayed that night. He played the commercial everywhere in the city in hopes of finding the girl from that night, letting her know he was not an irresponsible man. He wanted to make it up to her. Finally, two months later, Maia came to him and described everything of that night in great detail. Cedrick checked the surveillance footage of smaller shops near the hotel and, true enough, spotted Maia walking into the hotel. Everything checked out and proved that Maia was telling the truth…but no matter how many times he tried, he could not seem to feel interested in her. Cedrick had thought that perhaps some feelings were only meant to exist in the dark. To his surprise, even though the scent of gardenias Catelyn had was different from the scent from the night four years ago and that she had birthed a child, Cedrick could not but feel that Catelyn was that woman from four years ago all along. Just as Cedrick’s lips were about to land on Catelyn’s – Burp! Catelyn abruptly let a deafening burp rip out of her, shattering the romantic atmosphere instantly. Cedrick glared at Catelyn, who had already fallen asleep. He desperately wanted to throw her into a freezing bathtub to sober her up, and to wake himself up as well. Despite not being drunk, he felt inexplicably intoxicated. ‘Catelyn Clark, you’re just a woman who gave birth to a child for the likes of Jamie Mason. Who are you to deserve my attention?’ he scoffed internally. The next morning, Catelyn woke up with a headache from a hangover, and her head felt like it was about to explode. Just then, someone knocked on the door from outside.
