“That’s true, you’ve lost some weight, and even your hands are slimmer.” Ollie also commented seriously.“Are you eagle-eyed?”Although it was inevitable to lose weight as she suffered hardships in the village. However, it was no that obvious. ‘How?’ she wondered. ‘How could they notice it at the first glance?’Cedrick heard the compliant of the brothers, but he just ignored it. Breathing in Puffy’s sweet scent, Cedrick felt that he possessed the world.Cedrick used to touch Puffy’s delicate and fair face with his newly grown stubble.“Oh, it tickles. Daddy, don’t tease me.” Puffy stretched out her chubby hand to push Cedrick’s handsome face.Cedrick raised his eyebrows. “Nine days and 21 hours have passed since I last held you.”Hearing this, Puffy giggled and her face blushed. Then, she kissed Cedrick on his chin. Puffy held his handsome face and pouted, “I know. Daddy, you miss me. I also miss you so much! I haven't even eaten dinner, and I’m so hungry now.”Cedrick squinted
Chapter 1818"Cedrick Mason's son's looks have been revealed! The son looks very much like his father!" "Cedrick was spotted dating a young model!" Countless headlines featured stories of Cedrick taking his wife and children on trips. All praised the couple for their years of love. The reports said the family came to the town for a vacation. The trip was also meant to make up for their honeymoon. In a solitary building on the outskirts of town, Evelyn was staring at these headlines on her tablet about Cedrick and Evelyn. She snapped the tablet against the desk in annoyance. The bright moonlight poured through the windows, enveloping the room in cold silence. 'Catelyn, Cedrick!' Evelyn was living in misery now. She resented the couple's happy travels. Those reports about the perfect couple kept popping into Evelyn's head. She was so angry that she was desperate to do something to vent her anger...Click--The chandelier in the hallway was turned on. Jasper c
Chapter 1819"But thousands of people will be at the fireworks festival. Wouldn't it be too dangerous if Evelyn disguises herself into the crowd?" Joanne worried. "NO venture, no gain. And Cedrick's condition can't wait any longer. That danger is nothing if we can lure her out." Catelyn patted Joanne's hand soothingly. It was obvious that she had made up her mind. This was the best chance to find out about Evelyn. Catelyn was determined to take the risk. Joanne knew she couldn't change Catelyn's mind, so she had Keven and Edwin's bodyguards hide in the shadows to protect Catelyn and Cedrick. In the evening, the religious event began. The event was held in an expansive open-air plaza. Catelyn stood on the outskirts of the square. When she arrived, the square was filled with a dense crowd of people. Everyone was holding a notebook in their hands. They were all devout believers, listening attentively and respectfully to the priests' speeches. Perhaps this was a
Chapter 1820The wish she made was--'No matter what awaits us in the future, I will always stay by your side.' After a few seconds, Catelyn hung the wishing stick on the tree. There was a small bell attached to the wishing stick. The small bell collided with another bell next to it and made a crisp ringing sound. Cedrick walked halfway around the tree and surveyed each wishing stick. He had a casual look on his face. It was hard to tell if he'd noticed Catelyn's wishing stick. "Okay. Let's get back to the priest's speech." Catelyn pulled him back into the crowd. Cedrick suddenly gripped her slender hand in his and interlocked his fingers with hers. Catelyn looked at him in surprise. He gazed at her with deep eyes and said, "I swore I would love only you in my life. Neither poverty, nor sickness, nor death can separate us." Catelyn's heart flipped. "I want you to know that I'm here for you no matter what happens. I want you to believe in me more than anything.
Chapter 1821“Although we can’t touch your clothes, there are still many ways to catch you. Evelyn, you won’t be able to escape today!”Evelyn curled her red lips and sneered, “If I didn’t go out, you wouldn’t find me at all. I have never planned to escape. Haven’t you realized that I’m alone?”Catelyn had a nasty feeling.Soon, she understood Evelyn’s meaning...From beginning to end, Jasper had never showed up! In Jasper’s eyes, Evelyn was more important than his life, but he wasn’t by her side now.“Jasper! Where is he?”Evelyn smiled at Catelyn complacently. “What do you think?”...In the hotel, when Puffy, Ollie and Miles heard that there was a light show tonight, they would like to go to see it.But Edwin had seriously reminded them that something would happen tonight. Thus, they stayed at the hotel obediently. Besides, several bodyguards protected them outside the door of the suite.Miles and Puffy were watching cartoons in the living room.Puffy liked to watch cart
Chapter 1822"Little foodie!"Joanne tapped her nose and looked around. "Where's Ollie?""Studying in his bedroom.""He's still reading at this late hour?" Joanne was astonished by how hardworking the boy was."He's always like that. He has a strong desire for planning and always sets strict goals for himself. The teacher's assignment is due next week, but he plans to finish it within two days," Miles explained, puffing out his cheeks.Joanne nodded understandingly.Ollie had been raised in the Mason Estate and trained to be the future heir.Once these habits were developed, it was hard to change them."I'll go ask him if he wants some snacks."Joanne pushed open the door to the suite, but her smile immediately froze.The suite was empty. The windows were wide open, and the curtains fluttered in the wind."Where's Ollie?""Huh?" Miles widened his eyes in surprise. "Ollie? Where did he go? He was just here."Puffy also searched the suite, but when her gaze fell on an exqui
Chapter 1823Edwin kicked the driver out of the way and alertly pulled open the door to rescue Ollie, but the car was empty once again. Edwin muttered a curse and grabbed the driver by the collar."Damn it. Where is my nephew? Where's that kid?""What ... what kid?" the driver shaken violently by Edwin stammered. "A man gave me a thousand dollars to drive this car west. I don't know anything else...""I've been fooled!" Edwin knew things had gone wrong, so angry that he kicked the car door, making a loud clunk in the night.With nothing but guilt, he called Catelyn..."Cat, I ... lost Ollie."...Rustle!Ollie was slung over the man's shoulder. Luckily, there was nothing in his stomach. Otherwise, he would have thrown up.After a long bumpy ride, Ollie was thrown to the ground by the man.The black gauze over his head was ripped off. Ollie squinted his eyes for a short while before adjusting from the darkness to the light.He briefly surveyed the inside of the house. The do
Chapter 1824On the other side, at the entrance of a remote street, Catelyn just received a phone call from Edwin and knew that Evelyn had kidnapped Ollie! Those ominous premonitions came true in an instant. Her eyes were filled with hatred and homicidal intent now. "Evelyn! You are so mean! My husband refused to marry you, and then you kidnapped my son. Snakes and scorpions are not as poisonous as you! What on earth did you do to my son? Let him go at once!" "Let him go?" Evelyn laughed, "I tried my best to catch him, and now you ask me to let him go? Mr. Mason, you actually let such a stupid woman stay with you. I really don't know what makes her better than me." The bodyguards were all speechless. ‘Catelyn is much better than you! Why is this woman so confident?’ Cedrick pressed his lips tightly. After a few seconds, he finally regulated his breath, and his eyes were extremely sharp. Then he asked, "What have you done to Ollie?" Evelyn giggled. Her laughter was
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
