At that moment, Catelyn could not help but think of what happened that very haunting night.She was cowering in fear In the dark, unfamiliar environment. She begged Cedrick for mercy!Did he think he could just send her back the next day and pretend that nothing happened?"What do you want me to say? Are you too embarrassed to admit what you did?" said Catelyn.Cedrick grabbed her wrist and stared at her, squeezing every word out through gritted teeth, "What are you talking about? What have I done to you? Also, I brought Maia here to tell you that I got sterilized, and her child isn't mine!""So what if the child isn't yours?" scoffed Catelyn. "Did you know that Ollie bumped into you two frolicking around? Don't you think this is very traumatizing for a three-and-a-half-year-old? You can do whatever you want with other women, but stay away from my son!"Cedrick was stunned for a moment, his eyes filled with darkness. Then, he turned his head and looked at Maia.That night, Cedri
Cedrick did not even care that Maia fell on the sofa earlier. His ignorance toward her broke her heart.How could Catelyn have won Cedrick's heart? Was it because of Miles and Ollie?…Catelyn did not want to continue a meaningless confrontation with Cedrick.As soon as she turned her head, Cedrick unexpectedly grabbed her by the wrist and pulled her into his arms with ease. His sturdy chest cling tightly to Catelyn, and his warm lips brushed against her eardrum."I've got someone to book a flight to Las Vegars the day after tomorrow, and we'll go there and register for marriage," said Cedrick."Cedrick, do you like me?" Catelyn interrupted him.He thought for a while. If Catelyn was willing to spend the rest of her life with him, he would not reject it."It's more than just liking you," Cedrick said gently.Hearing his answer, Catelyn gritted her teeth, feeling that she was about to lose her breath. She pursed her dry lips and asked, "In that case, are you willing to help me?
"I'm sorry…but right now, you've already lost me," Catelyn declared coldly.A wave of despair grew and spread from the bottom of her heart as she spoke, spreading to her limbs and bones."Take back what you've said." Cedrick frowned tightly. He grabbed Catelyn's shoulders and shook her. "You've already agreed to my proposal, and you're wearing my ring! I won't allow you to go back on it!""From the moment you deceived me, I can't take it back anymore!" cried Catelyn. "If your goal is to torture me like this, then congratulations, you've succeeded!"Even after her family broke down four years ago, even after all the remorse of getting married to Jamie, Catelyn was never this deep in agony.She felt as if her heart had been crushed."You thought I was the only one torturing you. What about you? Didn't you torture me?" Cedrick's eyes narrowed in agitation.He kicked the coffee table beside his feet, and the items on it fell and scattered all over the floor.Cedrick grabbed Catelyn
However, Catelyn did not see Eason or Cedrick around. She immediately sneered and said, "Cedrick sent you guys here?"The bodyguard formally replied, "There have been a lot of criminal activities in Franche recently. Master Cedrick is worried for your safety, so he sent us here for your protection.""My children are back in the castle. Can't I go back now?" argued Catelyn as her smirk became colder and thinner.The bodyguard said, "The two young masters are doing fine in the castle. Don't worry, Miss Clark."How ironic.Catelyn had taken off the ring to express her remorse for the marriage, and all of a sudden, Cedick was imprisoning her?"Please tell Cedrick that he has done an exceptional job. If he could, try locking me up for the rest of his life."With that, she slammed the door harshly.No amount of pain and sadness could level her anger at the moment.Catelyn always thought she could be braver, but the truth taught her what delusion was.Catelyn wanted to call someone
"Does Mommy know about this?" Ollie's eyes became rounder with an unnatural expression on his face.Cedrick rubbed his fingers, and the faint smell of smoke lingered between his lips and teeth. "I'm asking you, why didn't you tell me about this?""I..." stammered Ollie."Big Demon, have you been with another woman?" Miles was stunned for a moment, as though he had suffered a huge blow. "What about Mommy? What about Mommy?!""What are you talking about? Nothing happened between us," said Cedrick coldly.Ollie struggled with his thoughts for a moment before concluding that he had indeed seen Maia coming out of Cedrick's room that one fateful night.He retorted, "Father, I saw everything! Stop making excuses!"Cedrick's slender body straightened abruptly, and there seemed to be a strong sense of oppression in the air."I've said that nothing happened. What do you know? You're just a kid! Stop talking to me about this ever again!" growled Cedrick. He picked up his black suit jacket
When she was first confined, Catelyn tried numerous ways to run away, including shredding her bed sheets into strips and weaving them into a rope. However, it was not long enough—it was a high floor, after all.She wanted to ask for help from her neighbors too, but her neighbors gave up as soon as they saw the fierce-looking guards standing by her door.After all, Catelyn only moved in recently, and the neighbors were wary that she was a suspicious individual.She even pretended to fall ill. Heck, she tried all kinds of ways, but to no avail.She almost gave up!"Miss Clark, what would you like to have for lunch?" came the polite voice of a guard as he knocked on the door.Catelyn did not want to entertain that question, however.The guard felt a little bad to see Catelyn in a bad shape."Master Cedrick said he'll be coming over tonight. Catelyn, please have at least some light food. You look terrible now."Hearing that, Catelyn's pupils dilated. "Cedrick will be here tonight?
Cedrick, obviously, never expected Catelyn to use a knife against him.Nonetheless, he was not afraid and instead laughed devilishly."No wonder I fell for you.""Stop flirting, and let me go now. Otherwise, don't blame me for whatever happens next!" Catelyn gritted her teeth and glared at him. Her grip on the knife tightened.Cedrick did not seem disturbed at all. His eyes finally settled in the darkness as he could see her face better. She looked pale but was nonetheless stunning."Stab me if you can." Cedrick looked at her grimly. "You said you can't accept that I hurt you, didn't you? Fine, I'll give you a chance. You stab me, and we'll be even.""Do you think I won't?""Try me."Catelyn shivered.The knife was pressed slightly deeper into his skin, but she could not bring herself to stab him. Even if it was just a small slit, she would want to throw the knife away immediately.She was never a malicious person.She was, however, flustered and exasperated."I didn't want
Even if she could only injure his chest or his shoulder, that would be better than being stuck right at where she was. Having nothing else to say, Catelyn looked at Cedrick and turned toward her room. She slammed the door shut and even double-locked her door. She even moved the cabinet to keep the door shut to prevent Cedrick from sneaking in the middle of the night.In the living room, Cedrick looked at the master bedroom door locked shut, the smug on his face slowly fading away, replaced by a mix of dilemma and coldness.Even if they continued, he would not let her go.Ever since they crossed paths four years ago, they were fated to end up this way. Plus, the pair of twins were still waiting for him in the castle to bring her back.…The next day, Catelyn did not even have her breakfast and only came out of the room past eleven.She thought Cedrick had left.However, he moved his laptop and some documents to the living room and started working there. Catelyn almost sto
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
