Chapter 347

Author: Velvet Antler
In the end, Catelyn rejected George's invitation. [I wish you all the best in the future.]

The screen on her phone did not light up again for a long time after that, and she had thought that George had finally gained clarity on the situation, but the phone buzzed again after a while.

[I mean everything I said to you before. If you still haven't found anyone by the time I come back, consider me, will you?]

She could almost picture the sincere and shy expression on George when he typed the message. She knew that he did not volunteer to go to Europae, at least not in the present.

During lunchtime, everyone headed to Mason Group's canteen for employees. Catelyn did not have much of an appetite and thus placed down her spoon and fork after just a few bites.

Concerned, Samantha asked, "Catelyn, why are you eating so little?"

"My stomach feels a bit uncomfortable lately, so I'm already full," she answered before tossing the utensils back into the basket that collected used cutleries.

    Catelyn hesitated from entering the office, but Cedrick had spotted her and thus called out to her, "What are you doing out there?"Catelyn stepped inside with resignation and handed the documents to Cedrick for his signature. Cedrick tossed them aside and asked, "You haven't had your lunch?""Well..." Catelyn nodded, before shaking her head again. "I did, but I didn't eat much, so I finished rather quickly."I…want to ask if you were the one who gave the order to send George to Europae."Cedrick poured himself a cup of coffee and took a sip. "Why haven't you eaten much?"Catelyn scowled. "I'm talking about George right now.""So am I."Cedrick set his cup down and stared at her intently. Her reflection filled his eyes as he stood, and the office instantly appeared less spacious with his towering figure. "You used to have George around, and with him now gone, you've lost your appetite for food and simply couldn't wait to come and plead for him?"He studied her expression withou

    Time flew by swiftly, and Catelyn never had the chance to talk to Cedrick after what happened in his office.The day George boarded the flight leaving Sapphire City, she received a call from Janice.Janice said that she was going to Ringo Park for a movie with Ollie and wanted to invite Catelyn along.It had been days since Catelyn had last seen Ollie, and though she informed Miles about the plans of their grand escape, she had not informed Ollie about it.She dabbed some light makeup onto her face before she headed out to meet Janice and Ollie.Perhaps it was because Janice was accidentally introduced into the entertainment business when she was younger that she enjoyed movies and would often go to theaters in Sapphire City whenever she had time.Ringo Park was a famous green building in Sapphire City. Surrounded by gardens, the area was decorated with flowers and plants that grew dense during summer. There were lanterns on the edges of the roof, which added a touch of festive c

    Cedrick, standing in a distance, pursed his lips as he shot Catelyn an icy glare.Worried that he would misunderstand the situation, Catelyn hastily stepped away from the man's arms and smiled sheepishly.Cedrick strode toward them while Catelyn met him halfway. She had no idea why he did not reply to her message the day before, but she was willing to let it pass since he sent her lilies.To her bewilderment, he abruptly pulled her into his arms when they were half a meter away from one another. The sheer strength in the motion placed Catelyn in an illusion that her lungs were pressed together, and she struggled to catch her breath.Catelyn gazed up at Cedrick in shock, not knowing what possessed him.The next instant, Cedrick glanced at the man standing across him casually and uttered jokingly, "Nine, I might just get angry if you keep staring at my woman like that."David tore his eyes off Catelyn expressionlessly. "I haven't had the chance to congratulate you on finding a new

    "You definitely deserve that," remarked Cedrick as he glared at Catelyn, "for secretly meeting him here."The frustrated Catelyn fumed, "It sounds to me like you're just jealous."Cedrick squinted at this and turned away from Catelyn. "I never liked it when others touch what's mine. If you think that's jealousy, you're wrong."Catelyn scoffed.The pair then headed toward theater room no.6, where Janice and Ollie were.Before they left, Catelyn peeped in the direction where David was slowly disappearing into.David was at the rooftop cafe at Riverdale Mall the other day as well, and he seemed to be in a pretty intense conflict with Cedrick. Could he be the mysterious man?Cedrick caught Catelyn's eyes and looked in the direction she was peeping at to find David's disappearing figure. He squinted his eyes coldly.Did Catelyn not know David at all?Her eyes seemed to have betrayed her.…The theater room no.6 in Ringo Park would not typically open for the public; it was the hal

    "Aunt Catelyn, you're here!" Ollie slid down from the bench and hugged his mother lovingly.Catelyn scooped up Ollie with one arm under his rear, and his tiny arms wound around her neck. He nuzzled into the nape of her neck like a kitten."Sorry to have kept everyone waiting. We got lost in the theater."She felt apologetic because it was a rare occasion for Janice to invite her out to watch a musical, yet she only arrived after the first act had ended.Janice was not bothered at all. Instead, she ordered a staff member to bring out a chair so she could sit.Catelyn sat between Janice and Cedrick, blocking Javier's view of further observing Catelyn.Javier pursed his lips and looked away as he mumbled to himself, "That's it? How is she prettier than Maia, enough for Cedrick to leave Maia for her?""Ceddy, since you don't always get to come, what do you feel like watching?" asked Janice.Cedrick looked at Catelyn, and she, thinking he was asking for her opinion, shook her head.

    Cedrick and Catelyn walked along the long corridor and passed by the willow trees. The tree leaves hung lowly, casting star-like shadows on the floor as the sunlight shone through the leaves.The wind blew faintly, causing the branches to dance and sending strands of Catelyn's hair fluttering.Catelyn tucked the strands of hair that blocked her vision behind her ear. Cedrick stopped walking and turned to look at Catelyn wordlessly.Catelyn was flustered from being stared at by Cedrick and thus asked shyly, "Aren't we going to the washroom?"Cedrick's eyes flashed with a myriad of emotions, and the creases between his eyebrows became deeper. Catelyn had never liked it when Cedrick frowned, yet he frowned a lot as a habit.She reached her hand out to smoothen his frowns, but as soon as her fingertip grazed his skin, Cedrick grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his arms.Catelyn thought he was going to say something, but he bent down to plant a kiss in between her eyebrows. His kis

    "You're allowed to smoke, but I'm not?" teased Catelyn as she then put out the cigarette, tossing it into the trash can.Cedrick pulled her into his arms once again, and together, they walked toward theater room no.6, looking like a couple in their honeymoon phase."Smoking is a man's prerogative," replied Cedrick. "Do you know how many toxins are in a cigarette stick? Nicotine, tar—there are more than three thousand different types of harmful substances, and more than thirty of them could cause cancer. There were even studies and experiments that showed that the amount of nicotine in one stick of cigarette is enough to kill a mouse."Catelyn listened to him as he explained how harmful cigarettes were, "If you're aware of it, why do you smoke?" she shot back.Cedrick looked at her and said, "Because I'm a man, and you…are a woman."…They finished watching the musical, and Cedrick had nothing else planned afterward as it was not appropriate for Janice to stay out for too long.H

    Catelyn felt something pierce through her heart as she throbbed in pain.It was summer and there was no wind, but she felt a bone-chilling air rushing over her, sinking into her skin. She shuddered.That pendant was that important, huh?'Take good care of it. You can't afford to lose it.'Cedrick was right; she would never be able to find him another one if she were to lose his mother's relic that she had left for him.'But why didn't he just tell me?'…Cedrick was not present during the meal, which meant only Janice, Javier, and Ollie were there. Javier was talkative as usual, not once stopping even after they sat down, but he never really looked at nor acknowledged Catelyn either.He was only talking to Janice and Ollie.This did not bother Catelyn, however, as she continued having her meal.In the middle of the meal, Catelyn gave Ollie a knowing glance, and the boy immediately got up from his seat and said that he needed to go to the washroom."I'll come with you."

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

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.

    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

"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

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.

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.
