Chapter 1571"Yes! They bear a striking resemblance to each other, especially in their mouth and nose. It's almost as if they were sculpted from the same mold, leaving no doubt that they are father and daughter."The next morning.Joanne slowly opened her eyes. The faint morning light poured into the bedroom through the light-colored curtains. She was stunned for a long time before realizing that she was lying in Edwin's arms. Edwin was still in a sound sleep, without any trace of brutality and wickedness. His handsome face had even gained a touch of tenderness, and the firm lines of his face had been softened by the light.She hadn't gotten used to sleeping next to someone yet. As she tried to quietly climb out of bed with one hand on the mattress, Edwin's arm suddenly fell towards her slender waist.In a daze, Joanne was pushed back onto the bed. His slightly warm lips pressed onto hers and he whispered in an unclear voice, "Good morning, Mrs. Atherton."Joanne let out a low
Chapter 1572Joanne took a casual outfit and stood in front of the mirror to change clothes.Upon entering the bathroom, Edwin realized that he had forgotten to bring his underwear. He went to the dressing room and happened to see Joanne putting on a comfortable sports bra. She usually wore this type of clothing at home, and as she bent over, her charming figure was revealed.An impulse surged within Edwin, and he couldn't help but say in a hoarse voice, "I prefer it when you wear the black one.""Ah!" Joanne thought Edwin had gone to take a shower and never expected him to suddenly appear behind her. She was startled and quickly put on the bra. Through the dressing mirror, she saw the teasing glint in Edwin's eyes. Blushing, she turned her head and gave him a resentful glare."When did you become a peeping tom?""Since you didn't close the door, I thought you need some fashion advice from me," Edwin replied.How shameless he was!Overwhelmed with infuriation, Joanne wanted to
Chapter 1573Jadyn tidied up very quickly, and in just a few minutes, the kitchen looked brand new.Seeing the dishes and menus that the chefs had prepared, Joanne thought about the modest breakfast she was about to make and felt a little ashamed. But since she had already agreed to cook it, she would brace herself and go ahead with it anyway.After all, it was all just for Tail.When Edwin found out that Joanne was going to "specially" make breakfast for him, he was overjoyed."Master Edwin, Miss Tail is awake..." At this time, a maid knocked on the study's door in a hurry.Seeing the maid's anxious expression, Edwin no longer cared about the documents anymore and quickly ran to Tail's bedroom.Tail had just opened her eyes and found herself in a completely unfamiliar environment. There was a rail at the edge of the bed, which made it difficult for her to climb down despite her efforts. She pouted and kept calling out "Mama".The maid responsible for taking care of Tail tried
Chapter 1574Tail was determined to stay away from Edwin. Seeing Edwin's dark complexion, she felt a little scared, but her stubbornness kicked in. She quickly retreated to the bedside and grabbed onto the railing, shouting at the door, "Mama, help! That bad guy is hitting me! Mama, why did you leave me here all alone? Do you not want me anymore?"Tears streamed down her face as she imagined countless scenarios.All the servants, including Jadyn, burst into laughter.Tail was a bit mischievous, but she was really adorable.For the first time, Edwin deeply understood the difficulties of taking care of children. Seeing Tail's red and swollen eyes, he couldn't help but feel heartbroken.He reached out to wipe away her tears, but fearing that she would resist him, he hesitated and withdrew his hand, softly coaxing her, "Good baby, stop crying. Joanne is really making breakfast in the kitchen. She doesn't want to abandon you. If you cry like this, she will think I'm mistreating you ag
Chapter 1575"Are you blaming me for causing you to misunderstand?" she retorted.Edwin's inner response was an affirmative one.However, at this very moment, he had no alternative but to comfort her. He said ingratiatingly, "Darling, you are the most significant person to me, and it is absolutely unjust to blame you. The one deserving of blame is none other than myself."Edwin's soft attitude was an uncommon sight for Joanne. Biting her lower lip, she asked curiously, "Blame you for what?"Edwin immediately realized that he must answer this question properly. After a thoughtful pause, he let out a gentle sigh."Blame me for not being perceptive enough four years ago, blame me for my irascible temperament four years later, blame me for my obstinacy, and blame me for failing our daughter and betraying your genuine intentions."Joanne's expression soured upon hearing the mention of "four years ago". However, when she caught sight of Edwin's sincere gaze, her anger swiftly transfor
Chapter 1576The maid opened the door. Outside was the person in charge of the kids’ clothing branch of the Atherton Group.He was holding a big box with a warm smile, followed by some other employees who also carried boxes.The person said, "These are the toys and clothes Mr. Atherton prepared for Miss Tail..."Hearing about the toys and clothes, Tail pressed her pink lips. She thought of something and reluctantly stretched out her hands toward Edwin.Excited and overjoyed, Edwin took the cute girl into his arms.Although he had held Puffy many times, Puffy was not his daughter. It was wonderful to hold his own daughter!He noticed that Tail was glued to the toys and clothes outside the door, so he took her there at once.A whole box of toys and countless sparkling princess dresses instantly attracted Tail's attention.While preparing breakfast, Joanne heard Edwin please Tail time from time. ‘Well, Edwin seems to get along well with Tail,’ she thought with a smile.Having ma
Chapter 1577Noah's fans were loyal. They gossiped about Noah's background and found out that she and Edwin had studied abroad together. On the international student forum, they could see intimate photos of the two feeding each other ice cream.Besides, Edwin was the boss of Eclipse Worldwide Entertainment. And Noah was the top agent of Eclipse Worldwide Entertainment...Fans were excitedly saying that Edwin announced on Twitter that he had nothing to do with Sharon to pave the way for Noah.Noah was stunned, dropped her head slightly, and said shyly, "You guys are really well-informed..."At these words, the host also got excited."Ms. Sinclair, so what they said about you and Mr. Atherton is true? Are you guys getting married soon?""Jadyn, turn off the TV!" Edwin was keenly aware that Joanne's hand was trembling slightly as she held the fork. He commanded with a sullen face.Jadyn agreed and was about to turn off the TV, but Joanne stopped her. "Jadyn, don't bother. I want t
Chapter 1578Noah frowned when she saw that it was an unfamiliar number. She picked up the phone and realized it was Harry. Harry's voice was low like he was hiding from someone... "Was it you?" Harry questioned straightforwardly. Noah bit the tip of her tongue. The pain made her voice sound innocent. "What, Mr. Atherton? What are you talking about?" "Don't play dumb with me. Besides me, you and Sharon are the only ones who have been targeting Joanne. Sharon is a stupid woman. She couldn't come up with such a ploy, so it must be you." Harry analyzed. He growled in anger, "Noah, how dare you try to kill my granddaughter and frame me!" Noah had been in showbiz for years. She could remain calm no matter what the situation was. Even though Harry was so explicit, she didn't panic but said in a pitiful voice, "Your granddaughter? I don't understand! What ploy? Forgive me. I've been too busy lately. It's the company's mid-year extravaganza soon. I am really..." Harry c
Chapter 1943"Just 999 dollars! 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
Chapter 1942"Oh my, Evelyn made the shop assistant kneel to put her shoes on? That was too much! Does she think she's a noble princess?""Check out this video. 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. "Thank
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
Chapter 1938"Now, all of you, stop talking nonsense and do your job. 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
Chapter 1937The nurse rushed to support Evelyn.Evelyn looked flustered and headed back to the ward."Has anyone touched my things?"Evelyn came back like a different person. 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. "She's
