Granny Atherton's wrinkled face finally showed a hint of joy."Eddy is here? Hurry, get another pair of cutleries for him!" she ordered."Right away," replied the maid with a smile.Seconds later, Edwin could be seen walking over from the hall.He was wearing a red vest and a pair of black trousers in contrasting colors. He was also carrying a large bag in his hand, and the corners of his mouth were habitually curved."Did you miss me, Grandma?""Not at all."The smile from the corner of her eyes gradually spread across her face in a smile.Edwin's expression morphed into one of hurt as he exaggeratedly shouted, "Hey, it seems that I'm not welcome at all. Oh, well, I'll just leave the gift here and go. Sorry for being annoying!"Granny Atherton glanced at him. "Oh, grow up, won't you! Still so childish."Edwin smiled as he handed all the gifts in his hand to the housekeeper.The housekeeper glanced at the contents in the box and said to Granny Atherton, "Madam, look! Master
Lola was undaunted by Edwin's remark and was, instead, filled with self-reassurance.She had followed the correct procedure to disqualify Catelyn, and Edwin would never notice the flaw in this.Edwin sneered, "The plagiarized person was a Mason, and her name is Queenie, who had shamelessly tried to seduce me before. Just because of this, if Catelyn did indeed plagiarize, Queenie deserved it."Granny Atherton's eyebrows jumped as she heard his statement.…Meanwhile, Cedrick drove Catelyn back to Ocean Path Residence.This man had helped buy her hygiene products and, in turn, was photographed by a female convenience store employee who posted it all online. Catelyn could not help but feel embarrassed by this situation.There was a strange feeling in her heart.After all, she had thought the items were delivered under Cedrick's order.Meanwhile, Cedrick's face looked rather grim. Looking at the rear mirror of the car, he noticed Catelyn was peeping at him from time to time.When
Their relationship had just started last night, yet Cedrick was already holding her hand!Was her hand made of gold or something? Why was he holding it so tightly?Cedrick's car was driven from the company. Although it was just a simple Bently model, it was still a very valuable car.Because it was a luxury vehicle worth millions, the driver that rear-ended the Bently would naturally feel panic. She thus quickly stepped out of the car to check the damage.She was a coquettish-looking woman. With a face that seemed to be heavily powdered with blush, she had long legs and was wearing fashionable clothes."Hey, handsome! I'm so sorry... I was on the phone just now, and I accidentally hit your car!" spoke the woman, who was apparently an internet celebrity girl. She bent by the car window while speaking to Cedrick.With one hand pressed against the wound, Cedrick took out a business card from his pocket with the other hand and handed it to the woman. "Call this number. My lawyer will
It seemed that Catelyn had only reached the preliminary stage of the competition. Of course, she must not be idle; she had to clean up the plagiarism scandal, one way or another.However, she did not expect that things would take a strange turn.As soon as Catelyn came out of the shower, she received a call from Kelly Preston.She told Catelyn that after a series of careful considerations by the company's top management, they decided to give her another chance.To be more precise, it was another challenge.Catelyn was asked to complete five design drafts within a week and hand them to Chandier Jewelry without any charges. If her work was excellent, she would be given the opportunity to be the finalist in the competition. Otherwise, she would be removed from the jewelry designing circle of Sapphire City, never to be hired again.It was clear that Kelly did not even care about Catelyn before this. What, then, was with the sudden change of attitude? Such a question baffled Catelyn.
It was Catelyn's first time at the Mason Estate.Back then when she came to visit Ollie, she had only sat outside for a moment and left immediately. She did not have the intention to stay at the time, let alone pay attention to the details of the place.The house had a luxurious Europaen-style decoration with red walls and bricks, looking very sentimental. The landscape garden was filled with different kinds of plants, and the amount of greenery here was just astounding."Aunt Catelyn!" Before Albert could even finish his words, a small figure suddenly appeared in front of him.Miles’ short legs rapidly stomped the ground as he raced toward Catelyn. He instantly clung to her legs the second he got to her as if afraid she would run away.He raised his little face and jumped happily."Oh, Aunt Catelyn, you're finally here! I miss you so much! Do you miss me?"Catelyn was equally excited to see him. She picked him up and kissed his tender little cheek."Are you here to take me hom
Catelyn subconsciously turned to look at Cedrick.He had spoken to his son about…making her his son's stepmother?Cedrick's eyebrows pulsed frantically for a while. He watched as Catelyn's expression looked too complex to comprehend. He did not explain anything but went straight to the living room.There was a leather sofa in the living room, placed in an L shape.Catelyn and Miles sat on the horizontal end of it, while Cedrick settled on the vertical end.He sat and crossed his legs elegantly and said to Miles, "Your grandmother missed you and has sent people to relay the message a few times. Pack your stuff; I'll send you over in a bit."Janice was Ollie's grandaunt, to be exact, but she had no descendants.Ollie had always addressed her as 'granny'. Miles, however, had no clue who Janice and this 'granny' were.He had never met Janice before, after all."I will go after Aunt Catelyn leaves." Miles looked toward Cedrick apprehensively.It was a baby beast's instinct to prot
The sudden change of topic caught Catelyn by surprise.She was quiet for a brief moment before saying, "You suggested that I become his stepmother. Naturally, I'd want to foster some kind of relationship. If you send Ollie to his grandmother's, we might not be as close with each other in the future.""I can see that you already have a good relationship with him." Better than that with his own father.Cedrick looked at her pensively, then said, "Stay over tonight."Tonight?Catelyn's eyes widened as her cheeks grew pinkish. "I'm on my period…"Cedrick's expression stiffened. "I was only suggesting that you keep my son company. What do you think I was implying? You thought I wanted to sleep with you?""..." Catelyn's face was as red as an apple at this point.Panicking, she tried to excuse herself by saying she wanted to check on his son. However, Cedrick pulled her back as soon as she stood up, and she, losing her balance, tumbled into Cedrick's chest, her forehead accidentally
He was blabbering the whole morning.Miles humphed because he actually wanted Cedrick to dislike him. He shook his little head adorably at Catelyn. He had not cried or thrown a tantrum; instead, he simply looked really innocent and sad about it. His big eyes blinked pitifully as he said, "The store-bought cakes are not as tasty as the ones you make. Plus, I only had one small piece the other day… Aunt Catelyn, please…"He was calling Catelyn repeatedly. It hit Catelyn's soft spot, and she found it hard to turn him down.She would not stop at just a cake. She would pluck the stars from the sky if he wanted them."How about we bake some cakes in the afternoon?""Yayy!" Miles happily spun around, not forgetting to throw a victorious look at Cedrick. "Aunt Catelyn is going to bake a cake for me. Aunt Catelyn is so kind, so pretty, and so talented…"Cedrick snickered, "What a sweet talker.""Hmph!""Watch your mouth.""Hmph hmph hmph!" Miles was not scared. After all, the worse h
