After a short while, Cedrick's lips cracked into a smile as a chuckle escaped him."My child? Miss Maia Clark, I'm afraid your memory has regressed terribly. I remember telling you that I've had a vasectomy before."Cedrick did not want to entertain this disgusting woman, yet she insisted on lying!At this moment, Catelyn, still on Cedrick's lap and arms, looked at the man's well-defined jawline as she felt his chest rising and falling as he breathed.He had a vasectomy? That made sense why he was so sure that Maia's unborn was not his.Why did he not tell her there and then?Eason tapped on his phone, retrieved a photo, then passed it to Draco Mason. "Master, this is the archive of Master Cedrick's vasectomy surgery from four years ago."Draco held the phone firmly in his palm and looked straight into the screen for a long while. His face went dark before he angrily swung the phone to the floor in front of Maia.He could not believe that he had trusted this vicious woman!The
She had been instructing him left and right, while he had been fulfilling every of her commands. He was starting to question if Maia had ever loved him.He then laughed. She did not even care about him. Why would she love him?Grandpa Mason's blood pressure went up a little too much, almost triggering his hypertension, and he was panting profusely. He pointed his finger at Maia and Richard as his eyeballs rolled upward."You… You shameless couple!"Maia did not expect Richard to confess, and so she panicked. "Richard, what bull crap are you talking about?""Bull crap? I had even recorded a video of you and I. Do you need me to show everyone now?" Richard snickered. "You…" Maia looked terribly displeased. She had not expected to record that and cried, "Didn't you promise that no matter what happened, you would not involve the baby and me?""I have given you everything and would even give you my heart if I can, but you wanted my life. What other secrets can I keep for you?"
"Had I not treated you well all these? You only wanted me dead!"He had mustered all his strength and channeled it onto his palm, Maia's face almost dislocated from receiving the slap. Everything fell silent. Maia could feel her blood boiling in her vessels. She looked at Richard in disbelief. "You slapped me? How dare you slap me? I could kill your child right now! I… I…"Before she could finish her sentence, she felt her head heavy. She did not manage to catch her last breath and passed out immediately. The police officers saw this and immediately came forward to control the situation. Richard pushed the police away and then held Maia in his arms affectionately, not allowing anyone to get near to them. He muttered, "Why did you never love me? I had always loved you…"The police officers exchanged looks. They were not moved by the scene at all but only felt it spooky. …That night, Cedrick received a message.Richard was caught and sent to prison. Maia was sent to the pri
"I did not expect that either."She was not as shocked before, even with the previous incident of the billboard crash. After all, if he were fast enough, they would still have a high chance of being injured. This time around, he clearly knew that there was something wrong with the car but still insisted on driving it…She understood clearly that hurting and being touched were two separate matters. Just like contributions and mistakes, they could not be simply set off against each other. Nevertheless, she knew that when he 'resurrected', there was a tiny person in her screaming for her to believe him once again. Therefore, she lost, she lost it to his crazy pursuit. …In the ward next door, Eason and Cedrick were discussing who was behind the kidnap. When he and Charles received the message and rushed to the sharp turn, Cedrick had already fallen from the cliff, and Catelyn was unconscious in the bushes.The other few assassins decided to finish Catelyn first. At the c
Her voice was so soft, like a tiny little brush caressing gently on his heart. Cedrick's heart melted."Fine. May I please ask who is the lady behind me?"Catelyn then released her hands and pinched his cheek revengefully. "Not fun at all."His vision came back to light. Cedrick turned around to see Catelyn pouting and could not help but tease, "How come I never knew that you liked such childish games?"He was suggesting that she was childish! This was just entertainment!Catelyn threw him a scornful look and then pushed him back into the dining room angrily.Back in the dining room, the dining table was already filled with plenty of food. Other than the simple healthy food to help with Cedrick's recovery, there were also a few other dishes that Catelyn usually enjoyed. Even desserts were included. Catelyn had a hard time looking through what was available. Cedrick sat on Catelyn's right side, the both of them sitting so close together. He passed the cutlery to her. "I heard
Splash splash! It felt as though a bucket of water was poured on him. Cedrick's little anticipation in his heart immediately vanished. He gritted his teeth and glared at her. He had indeed not taken a shower in a few days. He was unconscious, and the nurse only wiped his body down a little while he was still unconscious. His handsome face immediately sank.He threw his cutlery away and refused to eat anymore. He controlled his wheelchair, attempting to move in another direction.Catelyn was caught off guard by his reaction. She did not even manage to wipe the oil away from her lips, but hastily asked, "Where are you going?""For a bath!" the man said defiantly.It was already hard enough for him, a hygiene freak, to not have showered for a few days. How could he tolerate when he was loathed by his loved one because of that?Catelyn looked at his gloomy face and could not help but burst out laughing. He believed her?Hearing her laughter, Cedrick turned to look at her dark
When she was about to pour the bath milk into the tub…"What are you doing?" The man in the wheelchair suddenly said with his dark face, giving Catelyn a shock.She shook the bottle of the gardenia-scented bath milk in her hand. "You like gardenia scent, don't you? I am pouring in a little bit of bath milk. I guarantee you will smell great after this.""I only like the gardenia scent on you!"The unintentional remark made Catelyn feel that she could not breathe normally again. Luckily, the bathroom was filled with mist, and her face was red from the steam so that she did not look too odd. She then brought in some essential oils and dripped a few drops of them in the bath water. Cedrick watched as she kneeled next to the bathtub, her white hand swirling slowly in the water, testing the water. When the water was ready, she then went to get a few clean towels. Her eyes accidentally locked onto Cedrick's, which were looking at herself intensely.She was caught off guard. Cat
Cedrick looked at her stubborn face and felt touched. He enjoyed the feeling of being treasured by her. "Fine, it is my fault this time, I should not joke about this, but I really wanted to see you acting shy. Every time you look shy, I feel immensely satisfied."Catelyn was even more annoyed. She twisted the towel forcefully. "Your pleasure is built upon mocking me?"Cedrick looked at her earnestly and said, "Of course not, I am not so low. Plus, I have never teased other women before."Catelyn slammed the towel in his face. "Really? Should I feel proud about it? You bathe yourself then!"Cedrick pulled the towel down from his face and saw Catelyn opening the door on her way out.The door was slammed shut. Cedrick was speechless.Perhaps he spoiled her so much that her temper got shorter now. However, he liked her. Soon, Charles knocked on the bathroom door. He dared not enter right away but waited outside the door."Cedrick, are you alright? Miss Clark asked me to chec
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
