Chapter 20 Wanting a Child

Natalie assumed that Cedric wouldn’t be back for a few days. To her surprise, he returned reeking of

alcohol after ten at night.

While drying her hair with a towel, she came out of the bathroom and spotted Cedric, who was still wearing the same clothes he had gone out in earlier.
