Chapter 294 After blocking and deleting, Cedric chucked his phone across the room.
Bernard, who had just walked in from outside the mansion, spotted the phone on the floor and furrowed his brows.
âYouâre back?â Cedric asked.
Cedric stood up from the couch, noticing Bernard soaked from head to toe, his face filled with worry, âWhy are you all wet?â
Bernard didnât respond, instead he took off his suit jacket and grabbed a towel from a servant.
As he slowly dried his hair, he asked Cedric, âWhat are you doing in my house?â
Cedric let out a sigh, answering somewhat unenthusiastically, âItâs the weekend, I was bored so I came over for a drink.â
Bernard shot him a cold glance, âIf youâre bored, go to Africa and take over Matthewâs work.â
The mention of Africa made Cedricâs heart flutter, âMatthewâs tough as nails and doesnât mind the sun, but I canât handle it. My face is my moneymaker, you canât send me on a suicide mission...â
In reality, he just didnât like the local cuisine in Africa, and the work there was too much. Every time Matthew returned, he seemed to have lost a chunk of hair. Cedric didnât want to go bald.
Bernard didnât have the energy to argue with him, finishing drying his hair and heading straight for the bathroom.
Looking at Bernardâs solitary figure, Cedric felt both relief and helplessness For years, his brother Bernard had been in a constant state of melancholy, he had never seen him smile. He didnât know when Bernard would finally forget that woman.
His gaze returned to the phone on the floor, just as a call from an unknown number came in.
Cedric snorted, it was probably Hailey, realizing he had deleted her, she couldnât help but call to confront him.
He lazily picked up the phone just as the call was about to end, âHailey, you...
Before he could finish his sentence, he was cut off, âSir, are you interested in buying a house?â
Cedric was speechless.
Who the hell leaked his number? Why were telemarketers calling him?
And why didnât these realtors check who they were calling before they called? Did they really think he, Cedric, needed to buy a house?
Annoyed, Cedric hung up the phone, walked over to the liquor cabinet, poured himself a glass of red wine and downed it.
After a few drinks, he was still feeling irritable. He picked up his phone, sent a message in his buddiesâ WhatsApp group, and left the mansion for the nightclub.
Bernard, fresh out of the shower, noticed Cedric was gone and frowned. He then headed to the second floor study.
Sitting at his desk, he flipped open his laptop to look over some new financial reports. His eyes uncontrollably drifted towards the drawer next to him.
After a few seconds, he reached out, opened the drawer, and removed a goldenâbronze mask.
As his fingers touched the mask, a memory from three years ago flashed through his mind. As Mr. Law, he was entwined in a passionate embrace with her on the bed.
Just the thinking about that scene brought back the carefully suppressed pain, flooding him like a deluge. It was unbearable.
He put down the mask, propped his forehead with one hand, his eyes shut tight. He tried to forget about the past, but her image filled his mind.
Her face, etched into his heart, had invaded every cell of his body. The longing was uncontrollable.
He impulsively took out his personal phone, scrolled through the text messages, thousands of them, all unanswered as if they had sunk into the ocean.
He knew she no longer used that number, and that she wouldnât respond or receive his messages, but he habitually texted her.
He poured out all the fantasies buried deep in his heart into these texts, just like he used to.
Even though he knew he would never get a response, it was the only way he could vent his longing.
