Cedrick's response to that question was a long kiss.He kissed her dry lips, gently wiped the tears on her cheeks with his fingertips, and whispered in her ears, "What else can I do with you when you're even willing to sacrifice your life for the child? But promise me, don't do that again!""As long as my child is fine, of course, I won't run and jump off any building again..." Catelyn did not know why she dared to stand on the wall of the balcony just now.The fear finally hit her when she recalled her action.The tears slowly stopped, and what filled her heart was anxiety and also excitement. She was ready to die, but in the end, Cedrick compromised for her safety…"Cat, how could you jump off the building just now? If something happened to you, how can I explain it to Summer in Heaven?" Sylvie's heart was still beating fast in horror, and she took Catelyn's hand, startled and angry. "Thank God you finally came down safely. I was scared to death by you."Catelyn forced a guilty
"What are you doing?" Catelyn retreated reflexively.Cedrick paused his hands in the air and explained, "There is rice in the corner of your mouth.""I'll do it myself..." Catelyn hurriedly wiped the corners of her mouth with tissue paper.It was not that she was not close to him anymore but that her nerves had been tensed up all the time for the past three days for fear that he would force her to abort the child.Cedrick's lip line turned pale. "It seems that I have become a scourge in your heart?"After that, he got up, packed the tableware, and walked straight to the kitchen, looking a little lonely.Catelyn felt as if her heart had been stabbed. She wanted to chase after him and explained that she did not intend to avoid him, but she was just too worried about the child, so she became suspicious…Before she could do that, Harry came in.Harry rushed back when he heard that Catelyn was pregnant.It was not polite for Catelyn to leave Harry alone after all."Cat, are you pr
Catelyn was not afraid of Harry, as she sneered. "Edwin had been a daring person all the while. You wanted to know whose idea it was to lie about being pregnant? Just give your son a call. It's that simple.""You—" Harry was so furious that he smacked the table hard and stood up from the sofa.At this moment, Cedrick came out from the kitchen and glared at Harry sharply. "Uncle, my wife is pregnant now. Please do not agitate her. You can talk to me," he said.With Cedrick's appearance, the atmosphere in the living room changed in an instant.There was no doubt that his presence had brought an intimidating aura.Harry moved his lips and said mockingly, "The audacity of this girl, even meddling in the affairs of my family? Whatever it is, I will not allow her to be my daughter-in-law !"Cedrick listened slowly to Harry's domineering statement. After a while, he replied, "Whatever, as long as Edwin is willing to listen to you."Harry choked, his old face flushed red.Catelyn secre
People were rushing toward Patrick, except Joanne, who was running in the opposite direction from everyone else. In the midst of it, she accidentally bumped into another female celebrity…"Hey! You just stepped on Miss Diana's foot! Watch where you're going!" scolded Teresa Diana's assistant, as she grabbed Joanne's hand angrily.Joanne quickly stepped back hastily and clasped her hands together. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it," she apologized to Teresa."You better be sorry!" the assistant replied sarcastically.Teresa was a well-known celebrity in the entertainment circle. She was the female star that Joanne had a dispute with at the entrance of the TV station previously.Joanne was a third-rate celebrity at best, and it's no wonder that Teresa's assistant dared to raise her voice at her.Joanne was about to apologize again, but Teresa caught a glimpse of Patrick walking over. She patted her on the shoulder with a smile and asked, "Are you the one playing the third female lead?"
"I really don't want to scold you. I know you are a good actress. Never mind. Get some rest. You've been pretty absent-minded the past two days," said the assistant director."Yes. I will get a hold of myself!" said Joanne reassuringly.She held her script and studied it silently in a corner. As a popular actress in Monique Entertainment, she was not very well known in Worldwide Entertainment Co.Before this, Edwin had provided her with a caravan, assistants, and many other benefits. Now that she got kicked out from the Athertons, she did not have the guts to ask for all these perks. After all, they all came with a high cost.Therefore, at this moment, Joanne could only do everything on her own.Initially, she wanted to observe her part of the role, which was why she was not putting much effort into her act. Now that she got a good scolding from the assistant director, she realized she had to buck up. She was an actress, and acting was her job.No matter what happens, she will
Joanne gulped. Feeling pressured, she gave a thumbs up weakly and said, "Don't worry, I'll do my best in my act, and I won't hold you back.""Well, let's start then," said Patrick as he nodded lightly and asked his assistant to bring his script.Patrick's script was so clean! There were no notes or scribbling on it, like a brand-new sheet of paper.Joanne looked at his script and looked down at her own, instantly feeling ashamed.What a brilliant actor! Patrick could just act by just reading the script alone!It turned out Joanne still had a long way to go to stardom…In the scene with Patrick, Joanne was given the role of the daughter of a medicinal sorcerer. She was rescued by the male lead, played by Patrick. From there, she fell in love at first sight. However, it turned out that the male lead already had a sweetheart.Therefore, Joanne's character eventually goes into a downward spiral and ends up doing many unconscionable acts.Fortunately, she finally came to her senses
Joanne waved at Patrick and left.She was feeling a little doubtful. She did not tell any friends about this film shoot. Who would come to her?She saw the middle-aged lawyer in a suit and leather shoes and instantly understood what was happening."Hi, Miss Winters. I'm the lawyer from the Atherton Family. Here is the divorce agreement between you and Edwin. You can sign it here." The lawyer handed her a black signing pen as he spread out the document and pointed to the blank space at the end of the page. Joanne gritted her teeth as she took the pen. They found her so quickly, coming all the way here in Kansas City…It seemed that the Athertons really hated her, desperately wanting to remove her from the family.Joanne asked, "Who sent you to give me this document? Was it Grandma? Or Edwin?""Is there any difference?" the lawyer asked impatiently.It took him a lot of time and effort to find out that Joanne had come to Kansas City. He just wanted her to sign the document s
With that, Edwin tore the divorce papers into pieces and threw them into the air!Countless shreds of paper sprinkled in the air and danced around them like a heavy snowstorm.Eric wiped the cold sweat off his forehead in horror. Since Harry's wife's death a long time ago, Old Madam Atherton had been disgusted with his constant flirting with many women and did not allow Harry to remarry.In other words, the position of the wife in his household registration book had become vacant.How was Harry supposed to leave a wife that he did not even have at the moment? He does not even have a wife. How can he leave?"Mister Atherton…" stammered Eric."What are you still standing here for? Waiting for me to take you back to Sapphire City?" asked Edwin coldly as he glanced at the lawyer.Eric glared at Joanne resentfully and then at Edwin. He had no choice but to leave."Well, now the lawyer is gone, and the divorce agreement is gone. I'm going to head back to filming first! I'm quite busy
