"What do you mean?" asked Catelyn.Cedrick gave her an ambiguous expression and coldly replied, "You ran out of the VSA Company building all mopey. Did someone bully you?"She knew it. Cedrick had Eason look out for her!"The grass isn't greener on the other side. Those who look down on Amaricans will pay for it," said Catelyn.Cedrick lowered his face while listening to her. "I'm here now," he said.He meant that he could help her out.However, Catelyn did not seem to understand what he meant and instead asked, "Didn't you say that you were going away for a week?""Those two boys didn't want to see me, so I had to come back early," said Cedrick after a moment of silence.Catelyn snorted. She tilted her head and pretended to sleep.Cedrick had an urge to shake her awake, but when his eyes swept across the layer of faint bruises under the corner of her eyes, he stopped.A trace of self-humiliation rose in Cedrick's heart.When did he become so paranoid about losing her?…S
"Bring the slippers to me," said Cedrick.Miles was stunned at this, and it was evident on his face.Cedrick changed into Catelyn's lady's slippers.These shoes were two sizes larger than Catelyn's usual size, but it was still too small for Cedrick's feet.He glanced at the pink-colored slippers. Moments later, he quickly withdrew his gaze and kindly spoke to the boys, "Let's go horseback riding next weekend."Miles' large black eyes flashed with hope as he muttered under his breath, "You stretched out Mommy's shoes. If you didn't wash your feet, they're probably getting stinky now!""Father's feet don't sweat, and they don't stink," Ollie subconsciously explained.Miles immediately glared at him.What a traitor. He was bought so easily!Ollie quickly defended himself, "I'm just telling the truth.""Traitor!" exclaimed Miles."I'm only three-and-a-half years old, so I'm not ashamed even if I'm a scumbag," Ollie's face was sullen as he answered solemnly, which only irked Mile
Catelyn wanted to drive Cedrick away, but he could use the two boys as an excuse that they forced him to stay.Cedrick went to the bathroom to take a shower, and the sound of water running was heard.At that moment, Catelyn had just finished telling her bedtime stories to Miles and Ollie. When she came out to the living room, she suddenly remembered the USB flash drive that Edwin gave her before he left.She recalled that he told her to take it out and look at what was inside in moments she was unhappy.Catelyn immediately returned to the guest bedroom, rummaged through her handbag, and found a silver-white USB flash drive inside.She took her laptop and went to the living room.After the drive was read, a dozen videos popped up in the folder.All the videos were different. Some were very dark, some were taken in a bar, and some were from a hotel.One thing they had in common is that they seemed to be recorded from an obscure, secretive angle.Catelyn was a little curious abou
The bathrobe slid down Cedrick's slender body, revealing his perfect eight-pack abs.The smell of his aftershave and the strong scent of testosterone hung in the air.Catelyn froze, holding the laptop tightly in her arms."You... Why are you taking off your clothes?""Don't you want to be happy?" said Cedrick as he slowly approached Catelyn, his hands resting on both ends of the sofa above her head. "Tell me: how can I make you happy?"He leaned over slightly.The two were so close to each other that Catelyn could see his long eyelashes clearly.Catelyn did not even bother to wear her slippers as she tilted her head and took a few steps back.Her heartbeat was racing off the tracks."The woman in this video was the colleague who framed me! I was just thinking about how to get revenge on her…" muttered Catelyn.Cedrick did not speak and just stared straight at her. She could not tell if he believed her words.Not wanting to talk about Amy and the whole mess about her conflict
A sturdy body unexpectedly got into her bed at some point."Why are you here?" Horrified, Catelyn clenched the quilt in horror and shrank into the corner of the bed while she frantically checked her clothes.The button on her neckline was a little crooked. Nothing happened, apparently.Catelyn could have sworn she had locked the door!Cedrick sat up from the bed, somewhat in a daze. His gaze seemed unfocused as he looked at Catelyn for a moment and said, "Why are you yelling? Just get back to sleep."Catelyn was stunned. "Get out! Get out now!"She kicked Cedrick's waist and belly, but he quickly grabbed her ankle.The entire house was dark, save only the moonlight that peered through the windows.Cedrick involuntarily rubbed her toes with his fingertips. Catelyn tried desperately to pull her feet back, but he was so strong that she could not even move. She could only stare at him fiercely.Catelyn used to sleep together with the two boys. However, due to her working overtime
Catelyn slammed the pillow against Cedrick with all her might.She never imagined herself to be this angry.After a while, Catelyn started losing her strength and sat back on the bed, panting.Cedrick removed the pillow and revealed his wicked, handsome face. He stared at the girl sitting opposite him as the moonlight illuminated the room faintly.He wanted to reach out and take her hand, but Catelyn shook him away.Cedrick's expression faltered slightly at this. She would not let him touch her, so he stubbornly grabbed her small hand.Catelyn struggled. After a series of pulling and shoving, all she got were sweaty palms.When she noticed that Cedrick was not paying attention for a few seconds, Catelyn scratched his face with her nails, causing him to bleed.Cedrick sucked in a breath of cold air as his face burned in pain."It hurts..." Catelyn's heart was beating like a drum as she suddenly palmed her lower abdomen in pain.Cedrick was worried that she might have exerted t
Before Miles could do anything, however, Cedrick suddenly opened his eyes. "What are you trying to do?"Startled, Miles accidentally dropped the watercolor pen on Cedrick, smearing a long black line on his chest.Cedrick suddenly remembered back then when he was in Ocean Path Residence, his face was used as a drawing board, painted with childish graffiti.Not realizing what happened, he returned to Mason Estate with that face. His servants even laughed at him!"So it's you?!"Miles' mouth widened in horror. Cedrick was about to do something!He tried slipping away, but Cedrick was faster as he quickly grabbed him by the arm.…What awoke Catelyn was not the sound of her alarm clock but was, instead, her son's cry from the living room.She quickly got up and opened the door.She saw Miles laying on Cedrick's lap. His cute underwear was pulled down a little above his knees, revealing his fair buttocks.Miles turned his face down and was struggling desperately, but he was no ma
Miles nestled into Catelyn's arms. While she was not paying attention, he secretly gave Cedrick a dirty smirk.Cedrick was speechless. That boy was a complete brat!Miles was nothing like a regular three-and-a-half-year-old!Staring at Catelyn and Miles with his deep eyes, Cedrick pursed his thin lips tightly and said nothing.Catelyn frowned. She squatted in front of Miles and asked earnestly, "What happened just now?""Big Demon bullied me." Miles shrewdly changed the subject and pouted. "My butt hurts. I know I won't be able to sit well today…"Although Catelyn was on Miles' side and called out Cedrick for spanking him, she would not condone it if he was in the wrong."I saw a watercolor ink line on your father's chest. Did you do that?" she asked.Miles pursed his lips.Ollie looked around on the sofa and spotted a black watercolor pen. His eyebrows raised as he finally understood why Cedrick was so angry.Miles felt that perhaps he went a little overboard with his action
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
