Chapter 1145Alfred quickly poured a glass of warm water for her to rinse her mouth. Patting her on the back, he joked, "How can you choke when eating fruit? It seems that I must accompany you around the clock in the future."After rinsing her mouth, Catelyn drank some water, as she felt uncomfortable after being choked.Then she quickly took out her phone and found a photo in the album.She compared the profile of the man in the photo with that of the president on TV.The more she compared, the more similar she felt the two profiles were.The photo in her album was Summer's painting back then.When she knew there was a painting by Summer in the auction house, she bought it. She took it out to have a look when she missed Summer.But she had never thought the painting would come in handy except commemorating Summer.Unsure whether the man in the photo and the man on TV were the same person, Catelyn handed her phone to Alfred. "You've met the president, right? Does the man in
Chapter 1146Catelyn gave him a call, but no one answered.She couldn't guess what Cedrick wanted to do.At the same time, Cedrick received a telephone invitation from the staff of the Presidential Palace.The president asked to meet him in a secret theater this evening.After hanging up the phone, Cedrick stared at a pile of files about Fidelysia's current president and Ms. Carrey on his desk, lost in deep thought.The president was a 52-year-old man named Braylon Hensley, and he was born into a noble family in Fidelysia. His grandpa was the former Defense Minister of Fidelysia, who had been killed on the battlefield due to long-lasting civil strife.Therefore, Braylon was determined to end the civil strife in Fidelysia.Every move he had made was to get a higher social status, including his marriage with his first wife, who was a descendant of a powerful family in Fidelysia, and his marriage with her had helped him enter the political arena.However, he was too ambitious at
Chapter 1147"Catelyn, you don't have to listen to him. In Fidelysia, there is no place safer than my house. What's more, you're going to have a baby soon, and I've arranged a professional medical team for you," Alfred reasonably analyzed the pros and cons.He desired to spend more time with her, and for safety concerns, it was best for her to stay at his place."Mr. Wagner, do you think Mr. Mason has no consideration of his wife’s pregnancy? We have also arranged a medical team for her," Eason immediately said.Cedrick had ordered him to take Catelyn away from Alfred's place.Alfred's face darkened and he glared at Eason.Eason looked him in the eye fearlessly.Although he felt a little guilty about doing this in front of Alfred, he was reluctant to leave. He had brought many bodyguards with him to pick Catelyn up on behalf of Mr. Mason.Catelyn was rendered speechless by their childish behavior, and after taking a look at both of them, she walked away silently while the two s
Chapter 1148No one was in the room except the maid."Were you alone just now?"""Yes. I wanted to tell you that dinner is ready, but seeing that you were fast asleep, I lit some scented candles for you," the maid explained with a smile, and she looked at Catelyn's belly with admiration.Actually, Cedrick had stayed in the room for a while.At first, he hugged Catelyn in his arms and watched her sleeping with deep affection.When the maid came in, she tried very hard not to make a sound, but Cedrick was instantly aware of her presence.He shot a cold glance at her, which was a huge contrast to his way of looking at Catelyn.It seemed that Catelyn was the only one he cared about in this world.The maid was a little scared by Cedrick's indifference.However, Cedrick just mentioned her to keep her voice down, and then he gently kissed Catelyn and resumed his tender expression.The maid really envied Catelyn for having such a good man as her husband...Catelyn felt her lips wer
Chapter 1149The negotiation between Cedrick and Braylon didn't go well, but the atmosphere was not so tense.When parting, Braylon patted Cedrick on the shoulder. "Are you the heir of the Mason family?""Mr. President, you should have been to Sapphire City when you were young, right?" Cedrick also asked tentatively.Braylon paused for a moment, as if remembering something. "Sapphire City is a beautiful city, but it is because of this that I need to remind you not to be too greedy. I will only give Fidelysia's resources to my own people, and I will not give up my country's interests for the sake of myself. If you are interested, I can provide new business cooperation opportunities for you after I win the re-election.""I'll consider that." Cedrick shook hands with Braylon.At the gate of the opera house, two cars took them in different directions in the night.Eason sat in the driver's seat and looked at Cedrick through the mirror."Mr. Mason, is the president really Mrs. Mason
Chapter 1150Catelyn could no longer cover her swollen belly. Cedrick crouched down slowly, put his side face against her belly and listened carefully, as if he was treating the most precious treasure in the world.Catelyn caressed his thick short hair and said in a hoarse voice, "The doctor said that our baby is a girl.""I seem to hear her heartbeat."Catelyn certainly didn't believe that. Cedrick could hear her heartbeat or his own heartbeat at most.But since he was so concerned about the unborn baby, he might have accepted her arrival."She will definitely be a healthy baby." Catelyn's slender fingers passed through the tip of his hair and then slowly traced along his angular facial curve. "I will never regret keeping her.”Cedrick didn't say anything more. He stood up, bowed his head and kissed her red lips gently.......Catelyn reclined on the bed and couldn't help giggling.Although there was still a surging wave hidden under the tranquility, she enjoyed the rare pea
Chapter 1151"Impossible! Joanne is not this kind of person. There must be a misunderstanding!""I don't know if there is a misunderstanding. In any case, Joanne left a divorce agreement and ran away with Patrick." Cedrick slowly groomed his short hair and made it curl.The light was mesmerizing, and his handsome figure was reflected in the floor-to-ceiling window across from him.Catelyn jumped off the bed. "Are you kidding me? How could Joanne run away with another man? Even if so, she would contact me. Is Edwin so stupid that he even believes such a lie?""Who told you to get out of bed?" Cedrick flung away the towel in his hand and carried Catelyn back to the bed.Catelyn struggled to sit up again, but Cedrick pushed her back with one hand. "Don't move. The baby's kicking you."Cedrick just saw Catelyn's belly, a part of which seemed to have bulged and quickly recovered.Catelyn felt a little pain because of the kick.Usually, this meant that the baby was not happy and tha
Chapter 1152She must identify her true identity as soon as possible.She couldn't continue staying in Fidelysia. She must return to Sapphire City after giving birth to her baby...Joanne, her grandma, and her boys were all waiting for her....In the afternoon, the sun was surprisingly bright, and the lush trees were throbbing with life.Catelyn got into the car arranged by Alfred.Eason worried about Catelyn, so he dispatched two cars to follow her.Alfred and Catelyn met in the iconic square in the center of the capital. There was a very large exhibition hall, and many tourists were visiting it.Catelyn didn't understand why Alfred took her there.Alfred introduced to her the history of Fidelysia and the ten-year civil strife that occurred a hundred years ago in this country.He also talked about how the current president took office.Before his introduction, Catelyn had no sense of belonging in Fidelysia.She went there to seek refuge, as she needed to hide to save her
