Ollie looked toward the source of light and noticed a man sneaking around with a camera pointed at the three of them!"Mommy, someone's taking pictures of us." Ollie tugged on Catelyn's shirt guardedly.Catelyn pulled Ollie behind her by instinct and concealed his face. He could not be exposed to the public, more so being found out that Miles and Ollie looked identical to each other.Something was off, though. Why would anyone take pictures of her? She was not a celebrity.Catelyn's expression shifted as she strode toward the man and attempted to take the camera off his hands."Who allowed you to take pictures of us? Delete them!""Master Jamie, I had taken the pictures as you ordered." The cameraman easily dodged Catelyn's hands. He moved to the side and stood before Jamie.Catelyn's hands froze mid-air as her eyes widened upon hearing what the cameraman said to Jamie. She shot Jamie a pointed stare."This is your cameraman? Jamie Mason, what are you trying to do?""Don't you
Miles and Ollie's biological father was Cedrick after all. He was the man who had brought her years of nightmares!Could it be that the reason he took away Ollie was that he had been planning something all these years?Why else would Ollie be taken away the moment he was born? Even the nurse told her that the child was stillborn!Jamie was satisfied with Catelyn's grim reaction and left shortly with the cameraman."Mommy, what's going on?" Ollie had no idea of the incident four years ago, but he had always hated Jamie for bullying Catelyn.Catelyn's eyes brimmed with tears as she realized that the truth from four years ago had been unveiled. She wiped her tears away and said, "I just thought of something from the past. Little Ollie, remember what you promised me: never tell anyone about yours and Miles' true identity.""I promise."Ollie nodded, glancing from the corner of his eyes how Jamie was walking away arrogantly and with closed eyes.What a despicable man!Beep, beep, b
Catelyn sighed defeatedly. "Be patient. Remember what I've always taught you?""One week." Miles' eyes glowed as he solemnly spoke, "If you don't come get me within a week, I'll tell Big Demon that I'm not Ollie and that you're my mother. He'll surely bring me to you."Catelyn was speechless.This little imp! How dare he use his wit against his mother? She could not possibly get him in a week's time!"Don't you dare threaten Mommy, Miles!" warned Ollie, squaring up audibly.Miles switched the phone to his other hand as he said in a casual tone, "I'm your big brother, so don't talk to me that way."Catelyn was baffled. Had they decided among themselves who should be the big brother?Ollie felt embarrassed as he looked at Catelyn and said into the phone, "Then you should act like a big brother. Mommy cried last night when she knew you couldn't come home. If you continue to make her upset, I won't acknowledge you as my brother anymore."Miles' heart tightened as he pursed his tiny
Next to Cedrick were Charles and the mall's operating manager.The manager's forehead was covered in droplets of sweat. He felt honored, sure, but at the same time, nervous as he briefed Cedrick on the mall's operation statistics."Master Cedrick, the current foot traffic of the mall is—""Who's there?"The manager had not finished his sentence when a bodyguard in a suit spotted Catelyn, who was sneaking around.Everyone's eyes fell on Catelyn upon hearing the guard's announcement."It's me.""Miss Clark?" Charles recognized Catelyn in an instant and growled at the bodyguard, "Don't you have eyes? Make way for her!"The bodyguards stood aside and made way for Catelyn.Catelyn walked through the path that had been made for her toward Cedrick, her eyes filled with a myriad of emotions. She was shivering, even when she tried to open her mouth to speak.No one knew how much she wished she could strike him across the face at that moment.Cedrick Mason was the man who had ruined h
Cedrick, riddled with worry, did not expect Catelyn to shove him away as he staggered a few steps back, much to the bodyguards and staff members' horror as they gasped.They could not believe that a woman would push Master Cedrick away, more so when he had expressed care unprompted!Cedrick's handsome face darkened in an instant."It seems that I had misunderstood something here," scoffed Cedrick as he turned and walked away. His bodyguards followed closely behind as the group of men left together.Catelyn watched as Cedrick walked further away from her, and she bit her tongue regretfully.How could she be such a coward?Before Cedrick could walk into the elevator, Catelyn chased after him and caught up to him. She could not afford to care about the other people on the scene as she exclaimed loudly to Cedrick, "You said you'll give me three chances, right? I'll use my last chance now to tell you that my answer is yes!"…The elevator door closed between them, leaving a cold, me
Cedrick scooped Catelyn into his arms and tossed her onto the sofa, his tall figure towering over her.Catelyn lay on the sofa, her long black hair splayed over the cushion as she was forced into staring at Cedrick's handsome face inches away from her face.She felt stunned and nervous at the same time. Her thick lashes shuddered like bristle brushes. The shadow of her lashes that had been cast on her nose bridge moved in a rhythmic motion following her breath.Cedrick propped himself up with one of his arms on the sofa, trapping Catelyn between him and the sofa, as he stared at her from high above."What did you say?"Catelyn knew Cedrick had heard her loud and clear and was just asking her to repeat it on purpose.For Miles' sake, she did not have much of a choice."I agree to be the black sheep for you to call off your wedding with Maia. I'll do anything for you, as long as you help win custody of my child against Jamie."Cedrick lifted her chin with his slender fingers. "Lo
Cedrick gasped in pain as he stopped the kiss and looked up at the woman in his embrace, her skin pale like a pool of milk as it emitted a sweet, milky scent. It was an enticing sight.However, the sight of her shivering body made Cedrick feel like a pail of icy water was dropped on his head. He raised his brow and looked away in acceptance.Catelyn was clearly reluctant.What drove her into doing what she did when she obviously hated it, then? What was her intention?Catelyn's clothes were already crumpled when she noticed that Cedrick had stopped, but she could not figure out why he did."Aren't you going to do it?""Not interested.""Sorry. It's my first time doing it while conscious, and I'm just a little nervous." Catelyn acted casual as she licked her lips nonchalantly and added, "You didn't have to stop for me, really."Cedrick slowly regained his composure and calmed his beating heart before he slowly got up from the sofa.A couple of his buttons had burst off earlier,
Catelyn felt a dull pain in her lower abdomen, and that sensation was more than familiar to her.It was a sign of menstruation.She opened her hazel brown eyes and twisted a corner of the blanket in her hands."You're awake," rang a deep voice right next to her.Cedrick stared deeply at her.Catelyn's eyes widened as she stammered, "Y—You're still here?"She immediately regretted her words. What sort of question was that?!Cedrick smiled lightly as he replied in a sing-song voice as though flirting with her, "Where else would I be?"Catelyn struggled to treat him casually."I'm going to take a shower." Catelyn jumped away from him and limped toward the washroom.The blanket was lifted up along with her movements, exposing a dark red spot on the white sheet. The blood stain was fresh and moist.Cedrick froze in place.All of a sudden, a loud thud broke the silence.Cedrick looked towards the source of sound and found Catelyn collapsed by the washroom door with her hand on h
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
