Similar to Joanne, Catelyn, too, found herself in an embarrassing situation. She was staring at Cedrick in their car.She realized Cedrick was the same every time he was drunk. One might think he was still conscious judging by his bright eyes and the way he walked, yet his mind had long been muddled.Once there was no one, or when he relaxed his tensed nerves, he would return to his drunken state.At that moment, he had already fallen asleep on her lap as his eyes were tightly closed and his eyebrows relaxed. Gone was his hostility when he was drunk.Regardless, he habitually frowned.Catelyn rubbed the tip of his eyebrows, trying to calm him down, yet that only helped for a few seconds until he frowned again.Catelyn put her white palm against his forehead and murmured, "How could you value your pride over your health? If you had admitted defeat, all you would've lost was just a game. Are you happy now? Don't you know how bad it hurts to be drunk?"Eason was driving the car, se
"How would I know you'd break in suddenly?"After a pause, Cedrick raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile, "Did you come in to peek on purpose, knowing that I was in the bathroom?"Catelyn blushed and turned her back to him angrily. "I don't even care about looking at you, so why would I care about peeping at you? Also, your 'package' isn't gold-encrusted. Hurry up, I want to use the bathroom too."Cedrick wickedly smirked.Catelyn urged him at the door for a long time, but he did not come out.The two stared at each other for a while until Catelyn got angry. "Can't you get out already?!""I'm not done yet." Cedrick reclined slowly on the glass door that separated the shower area from the dry area. "You've seen my body, so to be fair, I think I should look at yours, too."Catelyn was furious as she looked at him in disgust. "Are you perverted?!"She could not believe he wanted to stay and watch her using the toilet. Even if he did not feel disgusted, she would still feel em
Catelyn, oddly, sounded somewhat coquettish despite her evidently anger-filled words, and Abert almost dropped the tray on his hands when he heard their conversation.Albert blushed.It just so happened that two cleaning maids were wiping the dust off the railings in the morning. When they heard Catelyn's voice, they exchanged glances and grinned strangely."Our Master Cedrick is so strong.""You're right, you're right!""Aww, they're so sweet!""That's right! This is probably what they meant by 'youths having fun'.""Ahem!" Albert was too embarrassed to listen to their conversation. He looked at the two maids and said, "Alright, this place has been cleaned. You can go downstairs to clean the living room now."The maids got Albert's hint and went downstairs with a smile.Albert then hurried downstairs with the maids and ordered all the maids to not allow anyone to go upstairs.Still, Albert was a little worried that the young masters might have heard it.'Oh, God, please hav
"Do you remember what that man looked like?""I..." Joanne thumped her head and shook her head helplessly. Her eyes reddened as she wept. "I can't remember, but his back looked familiar to me. He looked tall and beefy.""What about his other features? Can you recall anything else about him?"A lot of vague memories suddenly flashed in Joanne's mind.Catelyn stared at her aggrieved appearance and felt remorseful and guilty.She was also mad that the driver did not fetch Joanne, and he did not even call her to double-confirm her friend's wellbeing.She held herself responsible because she did not call Joanne to ask if she had gotten home safely before going to bed.However, what troubled them was that Joanne had already taken a shower, and she might already have washed away the evidence, which was the DNA of the man.Not to mention, she was a public figure, and that incident would most probably affect her reputation."Do you remember where you met that man?"Joanne took a momen
Catelyn called a cab so she could send Joanne home before she would go to Riverdale Entertainment Club to check the video surveillance.Joanne was afraid of being recognized, so she wore a thick mask.The previous passenger of this cab might have brought durian as the car was filled with the smell of this fruit.Joanne felt a little choked when she took the contraceptive pill. To make things worse, the strong urge to puke suddenly arose in her body when she smelled durian, and her headache worsened.The driver slammed on the brake on a turn.Hastily, Catelyn had the driver stop at the roadside, and Joanne quickly ran to a trash can before she started throwing up."Ack!"She puked for several minutes until it felt as though her stomach was empty. Even after, she barely felt better and could not vomit anymore.The driver was worried about what had happened to her, so he handed over a pile of tissue papers and asked, "Miss, are you okay? Do you want me to take you to the hospital?
When Catelyn lowered her gaze, she was startled to find Miles and Ollies staring back at her. "Why are you both here?"Miles and Ollie were carrying their school bags with the same expression on their faces."Godmother is sick, so we came to take care of her," replied Miles."You two are still children that need to be taken care of, and you think you can take care of your godmother?" Catelyn rolled her eyes as she felt the existence of the two children here would only bring more trouble for her.Miles immediately jumped and shouted, "Mommy, you underestimated me!"Ollie winked at Catelyn, implying that they could take good care of Miles's godmother.Catelyn glanced at Joanne, asleep on the bed. She recalled how she adored playing with Miles the most.Perhaps it would be nice to let these two stay so they could cheer her up.With that, Catelyn lowered her voice and spoke, "Come in, but keep your voices down, and don't disturb your godmother. Do you copy?"Miles immediately rais
Miles and Ollie were also very attentive to Joanne.Catelyn just called the boys to eat, and the two quickly wiped the tables clean and put the chairs together. Ollie also helped Joanne to the dining table in a very considerate manner.Joanne felt flattered as she enjoyed how the boys treated her like royalty. She lowered her head and gave Ollie a quick kiss on his cheek."You're so cute! Why can't I have you as my son!" cooed Joanne, suddenly winking at Catelyn. "Kitty, if I have a daughter in the future, she can be good partners with your sons."Ollie blushed and lowered his head when Joanne gave him a peck.Although he was adored by many elders in the Mason family, he was still the son of Cedrick, and not many people dared to kiss him like this. In fact, Ollie could count how many did with just one hand.Catelyn's eyes swept across Ollie and Miles, and she was, in truth, very curious about what kind of girls they would be into in the future."Sure," said Catelyn. "Let them be
Maia endured the nausea she felt and steeled herself to take a bath.Suddenly, someone came over and slammed her head against the wall."Agh!" cried Maia.The other female prisoners who were nearby were also taking a bath. When they heard the sound, everyone was stunned for a moment.Whoever was holding her against the wall was too strong. The more Maia struggled, the more excited the person became!Maia was thrown to the ground. She struggled and tried to get a hold of herself. She looked around, trying to see if the person was Lace, but she could not make out a face.Maia bit her lip as her face burned in pain. She could barely stand by holding onto the bar handles between the grids.Her eyes watered in anguish. Tears mixed with the stream of water above her head slid down Maia's cheeks.She hated it here!It was all because of Richard, Catelyn, and Cedrick!With that, the most tragic period of Maia's life began.She was harassed very often throughout the day in the detent
