What kind of question was that? Cedrick clearly did not give Catelyn another choice.She secretly glanced at Eason, still feeling embarrassed.Eason, however, quickly left upon sensing the awkward atmosphere in the room.With that, Catelyn had no more excuses. She opened her mouth obediently and let Cedrick feed her with the spoon.Cedrick's way of feeding was obviously a bit blunt, but he was gentle. When Catelyn had some soup droplets at the corner of her mouth, Cedrick would lovingly wipe it clean with a napkin.Catelyn's initial resistance to the feeding gradually turned into enjoyment. She could feel her stomach warming as the warm soup slid into her esophagus.Catelyn could not help but admire Cedrick's gentle movements. She glanced at his beautiful jaw and realized that she had not seen it up close before.What a perfect-looking jaw… Catelyn wondered what it would feel like to give it a poke.However, she looked at Cedrick's deep, cold eyes, and decided that it was perha
"Mister Atherton, the artist director of Monique Entertainment is here again. He still wishes to talk business with you, saying that he won’t leave until he sees you. What should we do?” said Edwin’s assistant over the phone.Edwin’s beautiful peach eyes narrowed slightly.Monique Entertainment? Was that not the agency of that stupid woman, Joanne Winters?It was said that Monique Entertainment was facing bankruptcy due to poor management. Moreover, most of the artists under its banner were also terrible.“Let him wait," replied Edwin. "Have the secretary prepare some tea for him.”"But if he comes every day—""Let him wait since he likes waiting so much. I have all the time anyway,” said Edwin. He glanced in the direction where Joanne disappeared to and drawled, “Also, spread the words. Whoever dares to lend money to Monique Entertainment will have to deal with me.”The assistant was even more shocked this time.Did Edwin bear some sort of hatred for Monique Entertainment or s
Catelyn's two sons, one innocent and lively while the other was silent and mature, were godsent.Ollie just so happened to have homework in the afternoon, so Eason quickly picked him up and drove him back to Mason Estate.Catelyn did not want him to stay in the hospital too long, too, so she coaxed him to go home as well.However, the two glasses of water that she drank earlier seemed to be indigestible at the moment.The infusion bottle happened to be bottoming out, so Catelyn simply walked around the room to ease the digestion process in her body. Suddenly, she received a multimedia message from a mysterious person.[I don't want Cedrick to know the truth. Come to the private room V312 of the coffee shop on the top floor of Riverdale Mall at 7 a.m. I'll be there.]Two photos were attached to the text message.One of them was a surveillance screenshot of her accidentally entering the private room 520 of Four Seasons Hotel four years ago.The other one was a comparison of the r
Catelyn looked back at the man in displeasure and flatly spoke, "Mister, what are you doing?""I'm sorry. I just wanted to tell you that you dropped something," replied the man. He quickly realized that his actions were inappropriate and quickly let go of Catelyn's hand before pointing to the ground with a warm smile on his face.Catelyn looked in the direction of his finger and saw a dollar lying on the ground.She withdrew her gaze and looked at the man."Mister, your approach is a little old-fashioned. I was in a rush today, and I didn't bring any money along," said Catelyn before she walked away without giving the man a second look.The man stared in the direction where Catelyn disappeared, and his startled expression suddenly changed as he curled his lips into a sinister smile.He picked up the banknote."Didn't bring any money along, huh?" he murmured in amusement. He had seen the banknote fall out of Catelyn's pocket with his own eyes. Did Cedrick really like silly women
The cafe was full of people when Catelyn arrived at its doorstep.Instead of heading to the meeting point immediately, she secretly observed the private room V312 at a corner of the cafe from afar.She wanted to know who this mysterious person was.Who could be that all-knowing? Not even Cedrick knew that Ollie and Miles were twins, and Catelyn hid that from him all this while!However, she did not expect that someone else would be watching her from the dark.Little did she expect it to be Cedrick.She waited for a while, but the door to the private room remained closed the entire time. Nobody went in or came out of the room—not even any servants.Catelyn could not help but feel suspicious.In the end, she summoned up the courage to walk forward. She barely noticed it, but fine beads of sweat oozed out of her clenched palm.As she walked toward the room, a figure appeared and stood before her abruptly. Catelyn did not manage to stop and almost bumped into the person.She look
Not only did Catelyn suffer from her family's bankruptcy, but her relatives made it worse by trampling on her, too. She even gave birth out of wedlock!Her life was already in shambles. What did it matter if Cedrick wanted to destroy it again?All Catelyn wanted was to protect her children.To add to the mix, a mysterious person appeared out of nowhere and threatened her with photos of her two children. She did not even know what the person wanted from her!What could she do?She was tired of everything. All Catelyn wanted was to be reunited with her children!Catelyn shed no tears even as she stared at Cedrick. Her rise in anger caused her blood vessels at her temple to darken and bulge a little.Her sudden resistance stunned Cedrick.Ever since that night at the Riverdale Mall, Catelyn had been humbly cautious of him, and she never lost her temper in front of him. Yet, at this moment, it was as if Catelyn was venting out all her suppressed emotions to Cedrick all at once.Ce
"It's just a spam call. There's no need to answer it," said Catelyn, pretending to be nonchalant about it as she hung up the phone.Deep down, however, she was very distressed.The mysterious man had called. What was he going to say to her?Her instincts were telling her to quickly find a way to get back to meet him, but since Cedrick was with her, she could not leave!Catelyn straightened her back as she got into the car, while Cedrick glimpsed at the phone in her calm, saying nothing.The car did not get that far before Catelyn's phone rang again.Thinking it was the mysterious person, Catelyn intended to hang up the call without even looking at the caller ID.Before she could do it, Cedrick, who was in the driver's seat, grabbed Catelyn's phone. "Let's see. Who'd actually spam calls on you?" he sneered.Catelyn's eyes widened in horror, looking as if she had just lost her soul. "No!" she stretched out her hand to grab it from him. "Give it back to me!"What if Cedrick disco
Catelyn dialed the mysterious person's number, and the wait felt long and arduous."Miss Clark, I've been waiting," a deep, pleasant male voice rang into Catelyn's eardrums as the call went through.Apparently, he did not use any voice-changing device, not bothering to hide his identity at all. Catelyn could not recognize his voice, though; she probably did not know him."Who are you? How do you know about me and Cedrick?" asked Catelyn, holding her breath and with clenched fists.The man's voice was very gentle, though there was also a hint of sharpness, like a dormant beast. “Not only do I know about you and Cedrick, but I also know that Ollie is also your son, and Miles had swapped places with him once."Catelyn was horrified. “Who are you?!” she asked nervously."It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is... What would Cedrick do if he found out that you stole his son?” taunted the man, his tone sloppy and elusive.Catelyn was not afraid of Cedrick knowing the truth about
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
