There was a smirk in Cedrick's tone, and it sounded as though the devil himself was whispering into her ear.

Catelyn tensed, but she then thought of the lawyer's letter she received from him. Slowly, the anger in her eyes faded.

She was not afraid of a lawsuit, but it would be traumatizing for her sons to endure court trials.

She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. By the time she opened them again, her emotions were already at bay. "There are new towels and toothbrushes. Let me go, and I'll grab them for you."

Cedrick followed her closely into the bathroom.

The bathroom in Catelyn's apartment was small with bottles and items piling up on the counter next to the sink. There was no partition between the shower and the toilet, while the shower head was just across the sink.

The look in Cedrick's eyes darkened.

Ollie had been raised in a wealthy household, and it was difficult to picture that he would enjoy himself while living in such an environment.

He turned to look at the

    "No..." muttered Catelyn stubbornly, feeling pathetic that she had to endure the pain and his intrusion.She stared at the floor and prayed that the pain would subside, but a lump formed in her throat, and a sob escaped her.Tears scrolled down her cheeks, and it took Cedrick by surprise.She had responded with indifference, even when he pushed her up against the rockery stone, and she knew exactly what to say to provoke him. At this moment, however, her face was pale as a ghost as she curled up and panted from either pain or sobbing."Let me see where you are hurt," he spoke, softening his tone as his heart sank at the sight of her tears.However, as soon as he touched her, Catelyn slapped his hand away. "Don't touch me!"Cedrick's voice grew cold at the rejection, hissing, "Will you listen if I go and wake up Miles and Ollie?"Catelyn bit the inside of her cheek at the threat. She bit on her lower lip to the brink of drawing blood without another word while Cedrick turned her

    They had arrived at the hospital by the time Catelyn woke up.Cedrick did not carry her, of course, out of concern that he would tear her wound on the back. Instead, he woke her up so she could walk into the hospital on her own.It was late into the night, and Cedrick stormed into the doctor's office.As not many doctors were on the night shift, there were long lines outside every office with nurses monitoring the patients, so Cedrick's action triggered a wave of complaints, especially with his drenched appearance as water was dripping off the tips of his hair.The nurse beamed at Cedrick's handsome features but stopped them dutifully. "Sir, please line up. We have a lot of patients waiting here."The patients in line muttered their disapproval."Move," he uttered coldly."Cedrick..." Catelyn noticed the other patients staring daggers at them and pulled at his clothes, despite the pain. "Don't. Let's just line up.""You don't get to speak," he said before turning back to the nu

    Cedrick turned toward Catelyn and asked her to go see the doctor.Catelyn thus walked into the doctor's room, all while many pairs of eyes were on her. Without much of a choice, she steeled herself and ignored the gazes.…It was a male doctor.Catelyn lay on her stomach on top of the emergency room's bed while the doctor asked the routine questions. The doctor was about to check Catelyn's wound, reaching for her shirt, but Cedrick grabbed his wrist with a frown."What are you doing?""I…I'm checking her wound." The doctor froze at how suddenly he was halted and said in frustration, "How am I supposed to look at it without taking her shirt off?"Catelyn turned her head and said to Cedrick softly, "Just lift the shirt and show the doctor the wound.""I'm requesting a female doctor!" demanded Cedrick.He would never allow another man to take her shirt off."Are you crazy? It's in the middle of the night, and there are only two doctors on call at the moment. You either let me do

    Catelyn's wound looked gnarly, but it had been taken care of and was recovering speedily. With that, she was able to move around freely the next morning. However, she still could not perform rigorous movements as overly stretching the wound was bad for recovery.Cedrick drove her and sent the boys to kindergarten.Miles swung his legs around in the car, his eyes traveling around casually. Ollie, on the other hand, sat still.Catelyn sat in between two boys, her hands holding theirs.Cedrick looked at Miles' cautious gaze toward him from the front mirror and stretched his lips into a cold smirk. "You're the one who stole my belongings, no?"Miles lifted his chin haughtily. "And what about it?""Pretty ballsy of you. As expected of my child." Cedrick chuckled coldly."I haven't acknowledged you as part of my family yet, so don't just assume things," Miles shot back with a frown and buried his head in Catelyn's arms.He shut his eyes and pretended to be asleep. It was clear that h

    Catelyn suppressed the urge to punch Amy.Was that how Amy decided whether or not she would look down on a foreigner—based on how long they lasted?"I'm at my office. I have to work.""Catelyn…" Seeing as Catelyn refused to say anything to her at all, Amy finally flipped. "Who do you think you are? I only ask favors from people I acknowledge! You better not piss me off."Catelyn turned and walked into her office, not bothering to respond.Amy stomped as she watched Catelyn leave. "How dare you ignore me, you disgusting foreigner?!"Catelyn froze and turned around slowly.She shot a cold glare at Amy and said, "We're all born equals. I wonder where you got that sense of superiority from? This is my last warning; stop discriminating against us foreigners. I'm too lazy to waste my effort in responding to you, but you better watch out if you intend on keeping up with that behavior of yours!""You—""A person's worth is defined by their abilities and talents, not the color of their

    "Uncle Ivan, didn't you promise that you'd guide me through building the base for this? Why did you give it to Catelyn?""Catelyn has better knowledge in this, so she's more fit to do this. I'll arrange other tasks for you.""But you promised me first!" Amy stomped and pointed at Catelyn. "What did this woman say or do to you? Don't let her fool you, Uncle Ivan! She's a foreigner, and she's probably dirty and has some sort of weird disease!"Burning with rage, Amy raised her hand and was ready to strike Catelyn across the face.Catelyn's gaze dulled coldly as she grabbed Amy by the wrist and swung her arm away."The manager gave us the task some time ago, and you're the one who hasn't been taking it seriously. Now that I've been chosen to be in charge of it, you're throwing a fit? Is this what you Franch people are like? How noble of you!"Catelyn had no intention of arguing with Amy, but her continuous verbal assault and discrimination had triggered Catelyn to a point of no retu

    Catelyn felt disgusted at the scene as instant regret rushed up her mind.Why did she give in to her curiosity? What an unholy sight!Catelyn held her breath and tip-toed to leave the scene when she heard Amy uttering her name."Uncle Ivan, when are you going to do the thing that you promised me? I hate that Amarican woman's guts. Heck, she even embarrassed you when we were at the beach! Why did you keep her around?"Catelyn froze in place the moment she overheard Amy's words.Amy hated her so much that she would trade her body for it, it seemed.What would Ivan say next? Were they planning on firing her?Catelyn listened carefully, and what Ivan said next was…"Catelyn is pretty talented when it comes to building the base and mold. I'll keep her around until she hands me the finished product, and I'll kick her out afterward.""There are plenty of people who's able to perform well. Why does it have to be her, an Amarican?" whined Amy as she shook and twisted her body in an uns

    Miles pouted and shrugged regretfully. "Aww… Big Demon will only be away for a week.""Stop being so irritating!" Cedrick's grip on the steering wheel tightened. "I can't believe you learned to lie and steal at such a young age! You better not annoy me anymore, or the elders will be waiting in the Old House to discipline you."Miles leaned into Catelyn's arms. "Hmph. Did you hear a crow cawing or something, Mommy? It's annoying."Catelyn was speechless.Meanwhile, Ollie opened a water bottle and handed it to Cedrick when he saw the veins on his forehead bulging."You seem to be sweating, Father. Drink some water to calm down."Cedrick shot him a glance before he took the bottle. "I'm not a father to you, am I?""Isn't Father the one who chose Aunt Maia and abandoned us?"Ollie had begged Cedrick not to do so, yet he did not listen and even pulled his hand off of him. Ever since then, Ollie had been brooding.Oddly, Cedrick found no sorrow in Ollie's bright eyes.He was put to

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

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.

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.
