Catelyn stood in the middle of the living room while Cedrick sat on the sofa.

Catelyn was trying hard to ignore Cedrick, but his presence was too strong. "You've returned my phone," Catelyn muttered. "Anything else that I could do for you?"

He was just sitting there idly. He was not waiting for her to say her thanks, was he?

"I'm hungry." Cedrick turned his head away and did not look at Catelyn, yet he was ordering all the same, "Make me some food."

Catelyn was astounded. Was he thinking she was his maid?

"There's a good restaurant downstairs, and they make great food. I highly recommend…"

Cedrick stroked his collar mindlessly, raised his brow, and said, "I took the trouble to send your phone here. Do I not deserve compensation?"

Catelyn blinked.

"I'm just saying that I didn't prepare ingredients for this, and I'm afraid I can't make something good for you."

Ollie had mentioned to her that Cedrick could be picky when it came to food, and she was not in the mood to entertain hi

    The sandwich tasted good, Cedrick had to admit, but he pretended that it was subpar as he answered, "Not bad."Catelyn did not expose Cedrick for his lie either; she knew he was someone egoistic.She watched as Cedrick finished the meal she made when, out of the blue, the doorbell rang before he even finished and before Catelyn could clean up the dishes.Catelyn was curious. Who would be visiting her at this hour?She peeked through the door and saw Queenie standing outside, her arms crossed at her chest. She looked somewhat annoyed.Catelyn's heart missed a few beats.Why was Queenie here?If she spotted Cedrick at her home with just her here, even though nothing happened between them, this would potentially be a good avenue for rumors to be created or for dramas to be started.Catelyn thought about Maia, too, and decided not to open the door."Catelyn, come out here!" Queenie was banging on the door. "I asked the security, and he said you've been back home since noon! Open u

    Cedrick did not argue.Still concerned, Catelyn reminded, "Remember: don't come out until I tell you to. You're the most important Mason, so your promise should weigh a thousand pounds."Clack!The doorknob turned at this very second.Catelyn was so shocked that her soul almost left her body. How did Queenie have the key to her house?!Catelyn quickly came out of her room and saw Queenie striding across the hallway, approaching her.A locksmith followed her, and they had pried her lock open!Offended at this, Catelyn guffawed. "I can sue you for breaking into my space, Queenie!"Queenie was just about to shout something when she suddenly spotted the two plates on the dining table that were yet to be cleaned up. One plate was big, and the other was smaller. They looked like they were just used, with crumbs still left on the plates.It was obvious someone had just finished the food not too long ago."Alright! I was wondering why you didn't open the door when you're obviously at

    Queenie only managed to record once around the master room. She turned to look at Catelyn, her eyes burning with hostility. "Where did you hide your little boyfriend?""I don't understand who you mean by that, but I don't have any more patience for you."Queenie did not buy this. "If you don't have a secret lover, then who finished the two plates of sandwiches on the table? Why were you so nervous when I came to your room?""Hello. Is this the police? I'm a tenant at Ocean Path Residence, and someone had broken into my place."Yes, please send someone over immediately," Catelyn no longer hesitated as she immediately called the cops, her gaze unwavering with ferocity.Queenie gritted her teeth and cursed under her breath before leaving, her jaws clenched tightly.Catelyn quickly locked her door and returned to the master room."Cedrick?" Catelyn snuck her head out of her window to check.This was the fifth floor!However, after carefully looking around, including the walls and

    Ollie had slipped into a body of water when he was just a toddler, which became a core memory for him. Ever since then, he had a deep fear of water that could not be relieved.He even refused to learn how to swim.Cedrick attempted a few times to coax and force him to learn before, but his effort was all in vain. Plus, Albert made an excuse that Ollie was still too young for it.However, Cedrick wanted to make Ollie pick up on his swimming skills this time."It's because he's scared of water that he should be learning how to swim."Ollie had gotten more rebellious and out of control recently, but his body was generally weaker because he was a premature baby, so Cedrick could never physically punish him.Since that was the case, he could well use the events that Ollie was in fear of to threaten to fix his lying tendencies. Otherwise…he would need to go for swimming lessons.Cedrick's chin raised condescendingly. The afternoon sun shone into the room, and he looked even more deter

    It was the same porridge as the one Maia had ordered when she came by, and it tasted just the same. With spring onions on top as garnish, it looked delectably appetizing.Miles was hungry, sure, but he could not give in to Cedrick.Cedrick seemed to have seen it through him before he snickered and walked away. Even though Ollie had given him quite a fair bit of trouble recently, he somehow found his son…adorable.Miles took a deep breath of relief after he left. His gemstone-like eyes blinked as he said, "I'd like to eat, Grandpa Albert.""Alright, Young Master Ollie. Here, Grandpa Albert will feed you."Albert was always soft-hearted toward him.…On the other hand, Catelyn was suing Queenie for breaking into her home illegally.With Queenie taken away by the police, Jamie had arranged for a lawyer to speak to Catelyn, wishing to resolve this matter in peace.Catelyn told the lawyer that she could withdraw the charges under the condition that Jamie Mason would never show up i

    Ezekiel was later caught in a messy trial, and Jamie knew that he could not marry Catelyn.The thought that all his hard work had gone down the drain made Jamie a bitter man, thus he used the fact that Ezekiel was in trouble and forced Catelyn to the hotel.That night, he walked along the corridor when a woman immediately leaped into his embrace. As the woman dragged him into the room, he caught a whiff of that familiar gardenia-scented perfume, and something clicked in his mind.The room was dark when it all happened, but when daylight came the next day, Jamie woke up to an empty bed.He assumed that Catelyn had scurried away because she was shy.He thought that Stella and Catelyn would struggle after the wreckage of their family, that they would plead for Catelyn to be his lover. He did not expect, however, that Catelyn would not give in and even hid her pregnancy from him.Catelyn laid low in BrightGene for four whole years and hid away from him the entire time.If it was not

    Jamie's face twitched in pain as he turned, only to notice a man in a pink shirt was next to them."I was thinking who this was. It's one of the little Masons!"Did Cedrick Mason not teach you manners? How are you hitting girls now?" Edwin, wearing a flamboyant floral shirt, smirked devilishly at Jamie.The veins on Jamie's forehead pulsed. "Edwin Atherton?""Catelyn is under my care. Which hand of yours landed on her?""Catelyn is my ex-girlfriend, Edwin! She—""Looks like both your hands did, then."Before Jamie could take a good look at Edwin's action, Edwin flipped Jamie over and slammed him to the ground with a loud thud.Jamie was just discharged from the hospital even though he was not ready to, and his ribcage had not fully recovered. At this moment, the excruciating pain was almost killing him.Jamie climbed up from the ground, his whole body covered in mud as he glared daggers at both Jamie and Catelyn defiantly. "You… You…!""Beat it." Edwin dusted his hands, his e

    Catelyn, although initially swayed by Edwin's offer, decided to decline his offer after hearing that last part."I'm sorry, but I can't help you with that."Edwin's flirty eyes widened as he said, "There's no advantage to you if you decline.""It's none of my business who Cedrick decided to have a beef with. If I accept your offer and don't fulfill my promise, it'll be hard for me."Edwin grinned; gone was his nonchalant expression. He passed the invitation card to her again and patted her hair like he would with a little girl."I was just kidding with you! Lola is just a relative, and I'm not in any position to interfere. I just happened to hear that Ollie loves you very much, and I'm impressed meeting you today."Catelyn stared as Edwin smoothed her hair. Why…did it feel like a pet being groomed?She edged to the side, her expression calm and collected."I'm flattered."Edwin was the eldest son of the Atherton family's branch, but he had left the family when he was younger a

It will bring you a long, happy life together."The vendor stared at Catelyn with eager eyes, frantically trying to sell his products.Cedrick looked down at Catelyn tenderly and asked, "Do you like it?"Catelyn picked up a charm to take a look, smiling, "It's not bad, but is it too expensive?"The charm was a good symbol. However, it was just casually made, not worth that much. This vendor was clearly trying to rip them off."As long as you like it, it has value."Cedrick raised his chin. Eason immediately handed over 10 hundred-dollar bills.The vendor gazed at the dollar bills with glowing eyes, took them with trembling hands, and chose a perfect charm for Catelyn and Cedrick.Cedrick took the charm and connected Catelyn's hand and his with it.His long, slender fingers moved. Even the slightest movement was very pleasant. Coupled with the romantic atmosphere, it was so beautiful.Joanne got excited as she watched them, clamoring, "I want o

Evelyn framed Mrs. Mason at the mall with a big belly.""Even a beast won't harm its children. Evelyn risked her child's life! How can she be so cruel?""Bah! Mr. Mason is handsome and rich. Evelyn actually cheated on him!""Her lover is too ugly. Evelyn has terrible taste.""Ahhh, Evelyn moaned so lewdly in the video. How can this man compare to Mr. Mason? I want to vomit..."As people online questioned and criticized Evelyn, her reputation completely collapsed, and she quickly became notorious.Cedrick became the victim of this incident.Cedrick sat in the car, looking at the responses on the Internet. He nodded and said, "You did a good job."To create the illusion that Evelyn cheated on Cedrick, Eason used AI technology to change Ralph's face into a stranger's in the videos of Evelyn and him having sex.

    Chapter 1941Evelyn's voice paused, and her eyes were vicious and angry as she questioned hysterically, "But I did everything out of love for you!"Cedrick wanted to laugh. "Thank you, Ms. Swan. Although your love makes me sick, I have kindly prepared a gift for you."Evelyn looked at him in fear and confusion when she saw a familiar figure walk in through the door.The visitor was just as tall, straight, and handsome as Cedrick. It was amazing to see any difference in their appearance."It's you? You're Ralph?" exclaimed Evelyn, her stomach lurching.For so many nights, she had sex with Ralph, the imposter. No wonder the baby she gave birth to was so disgusting too."Little bitch, long time no see. I missed you so much."Ralph grinned and walked toward Evelyn with lustful eyes."Go away! Go away!"Evelyn frantically waved her pillow, trying to repel Ralph, but these attacks were like a kitten's playing in Ralph's eyes.Ralph smiled evilly, dragged Evelyn down from the hospi

    Chapter 1940A few seconds later, she tore up the piece of paper regardless and looked at Cedrick with crazy eyes, "I'm your wife! It's Mrs. Mason in name only! All of this is a lie. My daughter is your child! And could only be your child!"Cedrick sneered, his deep eyes icy, "Think what you want, as long as you're happy."His voice was deep, pleasant, and charming, but what he said sent chills down Evelyn's spine.Evelyn looked at him incredulously. The smile on Cedrick's lips became even more fascinating. "There's something I forgot to mention. Are you sure the person you married is me? My wife is Catelyn from the beginning."Previous images flashed through Evelyn's mind. She thought of Cedrick's different attitudes. His passion, his impatience... Scene by scene, frame by frame, it was like a horrible movie, making her shiver."Cedrick, you indeed lied to me..."Evelyn stared at Cedrick with hatred, her eyes paranoid and mad."Even if my child is not yours and I didn't marry

    Chapter 1939"I'm satisfied," Cedrick smiled dangerously, his eyes emotional.It was a smile that made Evelyn feel extremely alarmed."Then ... show me the baby."Cedrick looked at Evelyn condescendingly, his deep eyes full of coldness. "Eason."Eason respectfully carried the baby over to the hospital bed. "Mrs. Mason, please."Evelyn took the child in surprise and lifted the swaddling blanket on the baby.Although it was a girl, Evelyn gave birth to her. Naturally, Evelyn loved her.Yet the moment she saw the baby's face, Evelyn's face suddenly changed, and she quickly threw the baby away, leaning down and vomiting."No, it's not my baby! It's not my baby!"'How can she possibly be my child?' The baby was deformed. Her little face was bruised. Her eyes, nose, and mouth were all tightly grown together. She looked extraordinarily horrible..."Mrs. Mason, this is your baby!"Eason nimbly caught the baby that almost fell to the floor and brought it back to Evelyn."Take her a

We'll have an easy time when she has given birth."The doctor reprimanded and turned to go back to his office.Inside the room, Evelyn scrolled through the videos and news with a bitter smile.These days after she came back, Cedrick visited her every day and was photographed by many reporters and media. Now the news was all about her and Cedrick being in love.Yet only she knew that Cedrick always left soon after he came, never staying longer than fifteen minutes.'Is it really because he's too busy working?'When she thought of Summer and Braylon, who came in and out together affectionately, a glint of jealousy flashed in Evelyn's eyes.If only Cedrick could always stay by her side as Braylon did to Summer.Soon, it was Evelyn's due date."Cedrick, I'm so scared..."Evelyn grabbed Cedrick's sleeve, sweating in pain. "I can't take it anymore. I want a C-section with general anesthesia..."With a cold ligh

The condescension she had when she first arrived disappeared.'Braylon is no ordinary man. What if he really wants to help Summer get back at me?'Evelyn subconsciously rubbed her belly. She mustn't let anything happen to her child. She called the nurse and said coldly, "Ask the doctor to come here! I suspect someone has poisoned me."The nurse gave her a frightened look and murmured, "Mrs. Mason, how is this possible?""I don't care! Go get the doctor to check everything in the room. I will not allow anyone to hurt my child!" Evelyn yelled in a stern voice as her eyes went crazy.The nurse called the doctor in fear, and the doctor came, checked everything, and said resignedly, "Mrs. Mason, we assure you that everything here is qualified and absolutely free of any harmful substances. You can relax."Eve

    Chapter 1936Evelyn nodded with satisfaction and asked with a smile, "Did Cedrick arrange this for me?"Eason thought to himself, 'Mr. Mason has no time for her.' Yet he smiled, "Of course, Mrs. Mason. If there's nothing else, I'll go back now."Evelyn smiled and nodded, "Go ahead. There are so many nurses here. They can take care of me."Cedrick had arranged the best labor and delivery room for Evelyn. Three nurses worked 24-hour shifts, so she would have someone to serve her at any time.Evelyn walked into the glass corridor, looking out at the sunshine and green grass. Suddenly, she saw a familiar figure."Who's that woman on the bench?"Evelyn's eyes went cold as she frowned and asked the young nurse next to her.The young nurse came over and asked with a puzzled look, "Mrs. Mason, which one do you mean?" "The old woman on the bench."A sneer appeared on Evelyn's lips, and her tone was acerbic.The nurse gave Evelyn a surprised look. "This lady is Mrs. Hensley, who live

    Chapter 1935Cedrick was silent for a moment, counting the time. Indeed, Evelyn's due date was approaching.The smile on his mouth grew colder as he thought about what was going to happen."I'll have Eason pick you up.""I know you're busy. It's okay to have Eason pick me up, but I want to see you as soon as I get back."Evelyn smiled sweetly, not bothering with these details.As long as Cedrick cared about her, it was the same whoever came to pick her up.Evelyn touched her round belly, and her expectant face gradually became worried.'It's said that a sharp belly predicts a son and that a round belly predicts a daughter. My belly is so round. Will I have a daughter?'Meanwhile, Cedrick hung up the phone, casually threw it to the bedside, lay back down, and pulled the soft Catelyn into his arms.Half asleep, Catelyn heard Evelyn speaking arrogantly on the phone and slumped against Cedrick's chest."Evelyn's coming back?"Cedrick nodded slightly, a little impatient.
