He had reserved a table and ordered the food beforehand. There were various foods on the menu, and Catelyn picked some simple food like an omelet and porridge. "Aren't you having any?"Catelyn saw that Cedrick was simply watching as she ate.Cedrick took a sip of his tea and said, "I quite miss the days in the hospital."Catelyn was bewildered and lifted her gaze from the porridge. "Why?"Cedrick's gaze shifted from her face to her rosy lips, his lips curving into an incomprehensible smile.His smile was one full of playfulness.Catelyn suddenly recalled the scenes of her feeding him with water and food affectionately and could not help but blush. "Shameless!" she said and took one big furious bite on the omelet. Cedrick lifted his eyebrows, and his expression was indifferent as usual. "Since you have already accused me of it, it seems a little wrong if I don't do something to live up to it?"Catelyn's instincts told her that danger was coming. However, before she could
Maia would be merely charged as an accomplice at the most. Catelyn was cleaning the house when she heard the news. She had not been home for long. Stella did not usually cook, and there were a few corners in the kitchen that needed a thorough cleaning. Catelyn had just taken out the trash from the kitchen when she heard the news reporting on TV about Maia and Richard.The news reported that the police escorted Maia and Richard to the police station. They had just disembarked from the long flight, and both appeared to be exhausted.It was especially apparent in Maia, with tears rolling down her eyes and almost falling over. She pretended to be emotionally strong but vulnerable, making people wonder if she really was wrongly accused. Richard looked very decadent. His chin was covered in stubbles, the light in his eyes vanished, while he was tagging along behind the police soulessly. The journalists all surrounded them when they got the information.This was some spicy go
With an apron around her waist, Catelyn held a broom with one hand as she watched the television.It was a news channel developed by Worldwide Entertainment Co., which meant Edwin was trying to destroy the two of them. Catelyn had not expected Maia to talk Richard into admitting to the crimes for her sake.'Is that Richard guy an idiot?' thought Catelyn. 'Committing such a horrible crime under the pressure of the Mason family would mean that he'll at least need to be in jail for decades!'...At night, in Mason Chateau.Grandpa Mason and the twins sat in the dining room for dinner while Uncle Ford stood by their side to serve. Cedrick was nowhere to be seen.Both Ollie and Miles were upset that they were forcefully taken back to Sapphire City against their will. They had spent a long time throwing tantrums, hoping to escape, but Mason Chateau was located on the outskirts and was divided into different wings that were guarded by countless bodyguards. Even a fly would not be able t
"How fun do you think it is to be locked in this bird cage?" Miles pouted."'Bird cage'?" sputtered Uncle Ford in shock."Wait, no. A bird cage has a round dome. This place is rectangular, so it's more like a coffin."The corner of Grandpa Mason's mouth twitched when he heard Miles' words.Mason Chateau was designed by multiple world-famous architects, yet to Miles, it was a coffin! He once again came to the conclusion that Catelyn was not suitable to be trusted with the twins' education.Ollie noticed that Grandpa Mason was about to explode and set his spoon down elegantly before saying in all seriousness, "Grandpa Mason, Father is back now, and we miss him. If you enjoy our company so much, we can come to visit from time to time."Grandpa Mason slammed his spoon onto the table, and the wrinkles on his face deepened in fury. "Who'd enjoy your company? That antique vase in my study room cost me three billion, and you just broke it into pieces! Without you two, I might just be abl
Miles was too prideful to cry in front of Cedrick."Don't cry, Young Master." Unable to bear seeing Miles cry, Alex immediately crouched down and helped to wipe away his tears. "If Miss Clark finds out that you cried, she'll be heartbroken. Master Cedrick isn't going to leave you here. Why don't you compromise a bit and acknowledge him as your dad?"Miles pouted and propped his hand on his hip as he stared at Cedrick. "What do you want me to say?""Dad, or Father. Take your pick," said Cedrick.If he truly went home with Ollie alone, Catelyn would be furious.Miles grinned before drawling with his hands on his hips. "Good boy. Daddy forgives you.""..." Cedrick's eyebrows twitched in rage.Ollie, too, was frightened. He had never seen anyone making a fool out of Cedrick before, and the air seemed to have frozen over.Alex could sense that Cedrick was on the brink of exploding, but luckily, Cedrick's phone rang.It was a call from Catelyn.Alex internally thanked the gods; the
All the while, the doctor ran a full-body checkup on Grandpa Mason, and throughout the entire 20 minutes, Cedrick remained by the door with the twins while chatting with Catelyn on the phone.Toward the end, Catelyn asked the twins to send her regards.She knew that Grandpa Mason disliked her, but since they were already on a call, she could not pretend like she did not notice Grandpa Mason's existence."Grandpa Mason, Mommy told us to send her regards to you. Sorry for the trouble we've caused you in the past few days. Please forgive us." Ollie picked an orange from the fruit basket, peeled it, and handed it to Grandpa Mason sincerely.Grandpa Mason sneered. 'Send her regards? Is she trying to pick a fight with me?'However, he decided to remain calm as he faced his adorable great-grandsons. He munched on the orange, but before he could say anything, he heard Cedrick's threatening tone as he said, "No matter what you think of Catelyn, she's still the mother of the twins. So long
Grandpa Mason was threatening Cedrick with his inheritance. If he was to hand everything to David, it would mean that he was giving up all his power that he had cultivated throughout the years.Everyone in the room seemed to have a hard time believing this was happening.Cedrick lifted an eyebrow and studied Grandpa Mason steadily.Grandpa Mason snorted. "If you've come to regret what you did, go tell that woman to never show up in front of the twins, and I'll overlook the fact that she's hidden Miles Clark from us."'Miles Clark,' Grandpa Mason repeated in his mind. 'How can a child of the Masons have the Clark surname instead?'He scowled and silently decided to change Miles' name as soon as they won custody over him."Haha." Cedrick simply snorted in contempt."What are you laughing about?" Grandpa Mason glared at him. "Don't tell me that you have no desire in becoming the elder of the Mason family. Countless people out there would die for a chance to even be included in our
Stella quickly snapped out of her daze and hurried over to Catelyn, grinning from ear to ear."Cat? Oh, my stars! When did you come back? Why didn't you tell me? Joanne told me that you were on a business trip and took the kids with you..."Catelyn had told Joanne to say this, but she did not expect that Stella would believe it.Stella's eyes reddened as she spoke. All those years since the Clark family went bankrupt, Stella had gotten used to living with Catelyn and Miles. She could not help but feel empty to be apart from them for so long."I'm back now, Mom. Don't cry!" Catelyn frantically wiped Stella's tears away. "I'm sorry. I was in a hurry, so I didn't have the time to say goodbye..."Stella wiped away her tears and stared at her. "Are you staying? If you're leaving again, take me with you. I feel so lonely when you're gone.""We won't leave again. Never again!" Catelyn ran into Stella's arms, her heart filled with warmth as she realized that Stella was not as infuriating
