Chapter 93 Under a Spell

• Cedric had nothing to say, and everyone was quiet as well. He knew they were waiting for him to speak up. That was how their family worked. It was democratic, and they could always argue if they thought someone was wrong. Anyone could refute if they thought the argument wasn't sound. When someone finally fell silent and thought that they were in the wrong, they must admit that they were wrong. Everyone was waiting for his apology, and a long time later, he stared down and said raspily, "I'm wrong."
• Jonathan looked at him calmly. "And why are you wrong?"
• Cedric hung his head low and clenched his fists. "I shouldn't dislike Maddie. I shouldn't think that she never should have come home. I shouldn't have thought that she only wanted to reunite with us because she wants our wealth."
