Chapter 1608Nowadays, there were APPs for such games.There were thousands of choices in the question bank and punishment activities.Jack relinquished the right to choose the question to Joanne, who held her breath and then tapped the pick button for Catelyn.A question popped up.Joanne read it. "Please send a message to the last male friend you contacted on WhatsApp and call him 'Dad'.""That's easy..." Edwin raised an eyebrow.With what he knew about Catelyn and Cedrick, Cedrick was definitely the last male Catelyn had contacted.However...Catelyn opened the WhatsApp chat list, and the last person she contacted was ... Ollie.Oh no, this was awkward.Joanne was the first to laugh."Is this difficult? If so, just pick a male randomly." Jack knew that Joanne and Catelyn were good friends, so he went easy on Joanne.Since there were rules for the game, Catelyn gritted her teeth and said, "No need. Since I'm in the game, I have to abide by the rules. I accept the punishm
Chapter 1609Jack's expectant smile gradually turned into disappointment. He could not even take the opportunity to kiss Joanne. He teased, "You can kiss me on the cheek. Is it OK?""Don't even think about it." Edwin snorted.Catelyn, who was sitting right to Joanne's left, heard this and calmly said to Joanne, "Let's switch places."Joanne was confused.Immediately afterward, under everyone's gaze, Catelyn sat down on Joanne's right side.Then the person Joanne should kiss became ... Edwin!The crowd was shocked.'That's cheating!'The original prank instantly turned into a public display of affection.Everyone looked at Jack in unison...Jack silently shut his mouth.Then, he saw Edwin get up and walk to Joanne."Honey, what kind of kiss do you like? How about a French kiss?"Joanne blushed and bit her lip. It was really a bit embarrassing for her to kiss in public.She took a deep breath and told herself to ignore the people present before she said to Edwin, "Just kis
Chapter 1610Ever since Joanne came back, Edwin's phone had been in "Do Not Disturb" mode.After he turned off the "Do Not Disturb" mode, messages and phone calls flooded in.Joanne and Catelyn were both sleeping heavily, so Edwin sat up from the carpet, rubbed his throbbing temples, and answered the phone.Lucas' anxious voice sounded. "Mr. Atherton, you've become a trending topic again!""Which unscrupulous marketing account created rumors about me?" Edwin's voice was hoarse because he had just woken up.Lucas sounded worried. "Could you remember what you did last night? I think you hate Mr. Brown, right? What were you guys doing when you looked at each other so affectionately? Now, rumor has it that all the women you or Mr. Brown has dated are just shields..."Edwin's temples throbbed, and he immediately checked the latest trending topics. Sure enough, there was one about his and Jack's sexual orientation.Last night when they played the game, Jack was punished to gaze affe
Chapter 1611The first part of the report was all about business. In the end, Charles brought up the topic of Edwin.The Atherton family's business was all over the world.Edwin, as the Atherton family's current head, was the center of the attention of the Atherton Group's employees.Cedrick frowned and instinctively felt amused. "He's the same as before."'Wait a minute.'Last night, Joanne and Catelyn seemed to be with him.'Cedrick scowled, immediately grabbed his phone, and clicked on the widely circulated photo.The floor-to-ceiling window showed two women lying on the bed, but it was hard to tell who they were...Cedrick's lips were pursed as he dialed Catelyn's number, and it took about half a minute for Catelyn to pick up the phone."Where are you now?" Cedrick asked directly.Catelyn's breathing was a little unsteady. She was quiet for a second before she said, "I'm out for my morning walk. It's a nice day.""Really? Did anything special happen last night?" Cedrick
Chapter 1612Catelyn sighed with resignation.She told Cedrick that she was jogging outside, but she had just arrived home from the hotel.She went home secretly when Edwin and Joanne were sleeping soundly.Catelyn went to the restroom, scooped up some cold water with her hands, splashed it to her face, and mussed her hair as if she was covered with sweat after a jog.Then Catelyn answered the video call. The expressionless Cedrick showed up on the screen.Catelyn felt guilty and greeted Cedrick warmly, "Honey, good morning..."Cedrick looked at Catelyn with a sharp gaze. She had a hangover, so her skin looked sallow. Besides, she hadn't put on any makeup and thus looked tired. Cedrick's face clouded over immediately.These years, Cedrick had tried his best to shorten his business trip. He even avoided to go to cities far away or go abroad.To his surprise, on the first night that he left home, she stayed out all night.Cedrick kept silent. Catelyn observed his expression and
Chapter 1613Catelyn was stuck for words.'Why does Cedrick change the topic so quickly?'"I didn't mean that. I'm just reluctant to see you being angry with me and not talking to me. Besides, you're abroad. You're busy with work as you're angry with me. What if you're sick because of that? I have apologized to you sincerely. It's just a trivial matter. Please don't keep picking on me!"Cedrick snorted and didn't tell Catelyn if he had forgiven her or not. He just glanced at her coldly and said, "Your attitude is sincere indeed. Now that you would like to apologize to me, you should keep your promise. I'm reluctant to suddenly hear the news again that my wife wakes up on the bed with other men when I'm abroad on business one day."'Alright, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have been completely drunk. As long as he doesn't cheat on me, I still love him very much.'She covered her mouth, thought about it, and compressed her lips reservedly."I see. Just focus on your work now. Let's
Chapter 1614Edwin suddenly turned over and kissed Joanne to block her mouth.At this moment, only Edwin and Joanne were on the large bed. When Catelyn left the hotel, she specially asked the staff of the hotel not to disturb them and to let them have a good rest. Thus, Edwin and Joanne had the chance to stay with each other alone.The curtains in the room had been drawn. Under the orange lights, the atmosphere was gentle and intimate.Edwin held Joanne's hands with their fingers interlaced. He kissed her as he whispered, "You're right. I want to bind you to me. Like it or not, Tail is my daughter and the apple of my eye. I won't let Tail and you leave me…"Edwin's hot breath sprayed Joanne's ear. Joanne's body tensed up. She closed her eyes involuntarily.Suddenly, the scene where she smooched with Edwin for three minutes in public ran through her mind…Edwin admired Joanne's trembling eyelashes that were thin and bushy...She had a hangover and hadn't sobered up yet. Her chee
Chapter 1615Joanne still felt dizzy in the morning. Under Edwin's provocation, she was irritated."Edwin, what do you want to do?" Her face clouded over.Edwin's gaze was so deep that Joanne felt as if she would sink into it.He intimidatingly lifted her chin with his slender fingers."Tail is my daughter. You don't want me to show up in her life. Who would you like to stay by her side and see her grow up? Jack or Patrick? They are neither related to Tail by blood nor qualified to raise my daughter."Joanne shouted with a scarlet face, "Now you're talking about something else. It's apples and oranges. I mean that social media have paid too much attention to your private life. I'm afraid that Tail will get into trouble because of you..."She said at an uneven pace as her voice became lower gradually...Edwin flirted with Joanne. She felt hot all over. Although she said so to warn him, it didn't sound threatening at all.It sounded like she was coquetting. He was tempted by her
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
