Chapter 716

Author: Velvet Antler
Joanne was stunned as she looked at him in disbelief.

'Have a baby so quickly? Do you think I'm a childbirth machine?'

Seeing her surprised expression, Edwin did not intend to explain himself any further. His playful eyes flashed as he spoke, "What? Do you want me to eat with you?"

"I'm going to eat right away!" Joanne immediately ran to the dining room with the intention of delaying whatever Edwin had planned for tonight.

Edwin pulled his tie off and casually threw his coat on the couch.

The playful expression on his face was replaced by irritability.

Granny Atherton had assumed that Joanne was already pregnant and it would take at most two to three months before her belly became visibly swollen.

If he had told his grandmother that Joanne was not pregnant, it would have been fine. Still, now the existence of Quinn brought back Granny Atherton's most painful memory, and she was in a bad mood, not to mention the pain she would suffer if she found out the truth about her great-gra

    Joanne cursed him as she never deemed him as her husband. She ran to the bathroom afterward.Hearing the sound of running water in the bathroom, Edwin began to undress."The water is ready! Take your time..."When she was about to leave, Edwin reached his hand out to grab her wrist, forcing her backward till she leaned against the wall and ruffled her bang with another hand in a handsome stance.He then sniffed the fragrance of the shampoo on her neck and asked bewitchingly, "Would you like to join me?"Joanne's pretty cheeks blushed and swelled up like they were about to burst. She failed to hide her shyness from her cheeks even though she tried to act calm.With a closer look, Edwin noticed that Joanne's skin was better than most female celebrities that he knew.Unexpectedly, Joanne pushed him away savagely, which caused him to fall two steps backward embarrassingly.His enchanting face suddenly turned serious, looking at Joanne fiercely.Joanne felt guilty for an instant.

    In preparation for Javier, Catelyn stocked the refrigerator with ingredients. She planned to make a stew, five different kinds of roast meat dishes, and a pot of pumpkin soup. Cedrick was fine with whatever Catelyn made, as he was not a picky eater.The kitchen area was very large, with an open view. Apart from not having as many servants around as the Mason Estate, the rest were all pretty convenient.As soon as Javier entered the living room, he went looking around for the two boys.When the children heard the door open, they ran over excitedly, thinking it was Catelyn. However, they saw Javier instead.Javier looked at both of them. They both look exactly the same. He pointed at Miles and then to Ollie. "Don't say anything! Let me try and guess you both apart," he said playfully.Miles and Javier were not close to each other, but he could still recognize him."You're... Miles! And you're the one who had been with Catelyn since a child! And you're… Ollie! Am I right?" asked J

    Other than working in the Mason Group, Javier had also established a gaming company with several college classmates.However, the company had financial issues in the early stage. He was short of money, and the company was currently in a half-baked state.Javier's eyes lit up all of a sudden. He stretched out his hands toward Ollie with a wicked smile…"Ollie, I heard that you got some property and stocks for your birthday this year. Are they worth millions?"Ollie pursed his lips and nodded. "My father had set up a foundation for me, where all my gifts over the years were stored. The foundation will manage my wealth, and I will officially take over when I'm an adult.""Ah, my lovely little nephew. I'm a little short of money and would like to borrow some money from you. Would you do that for me?" asked Javier."Nope," Ollie ruthlessly refused.Just after the game ended, Ollie wanted to get up to help Catelyn with the table, as dinner would be almost ready in a while.Suddenly,

    "Mummy, is dinner ready?" Miles' cheerful little voice came from the living room all of a sudden.Catelyn's heart beat a little faster as she heard him. She yelled back, "Just a little more!""Then I'll come and help you!" Miles shouted back, and the sound of little footsteps approaching was heard as he ran into the kitchen.Catelyn never thought that her son would actually come over. In a hurry, she pushed Cedrick away.She stared at her husband. Why did Cedrick not let go of her despite knowing Miles was coming?As if seeing through her thoughts, Cedrick whispered to her ears, "Don't you know?""Mummy, I'm here!" Miles exclaimed excitedly. He was only a few steps away from the kitchen door and could see the both of them clearly.Catelyn was so startled she almost lost her soul, and her face was pale.Perhaps it was because Maia had told Catelyn that Ollie had witnessed the affair between her and Cedrick, and now Catelyn was especially afraid of setting a bad role model for he

    However, the door was made of really good soundproof materials!Miles could not hear anything from the outside…He crossed his short hands on his waist while scanning the door from top to bottom.Could he even pry open the door?Suddenly, Cedrick's manly voice answered, "Because I'm your father.""So Dad can go in, but not me?" wailed Miles. He was like a little monkey, moving his ears along the door, and eventually, he stopped at the crack of the door.He listened intently, desperately wanting to know what was happening inside the kitchen."Yes," answered Catelyn."Then I want to be a dad too!" blurted out Miles without hesitation.Catelyn and Cedrick went silent. After a short while, Catelyn laughed and said, "Oh, silly! You can't just be a dad that young, you have to grow up!" She continued, "Anyway, go wash your hands. Food will be ready soon. Be a good boy, go!"With that, Miles ran away.The crisis was lifted, but Catelyn was still feeling all tensed within.Her Intui

    Javier was there!At first, he was hanging out with Ollie in the living room, trying his best to convince Ollie to invest in his company. However, Ollie was unshakable, and all of Javier's persuasion failed.He went to the bathroom in frustration and happened to see Miles dragging a bench toward the kitchen.He went after him, and what he saw next made him burst out in laughter.Like Miles, Javier's head popped out at the top transparent part of the kitchen door. He screamed, "Damn! Hold your horses! Your cute and pure little boys are going to be influenced by you! Are you sure you don't want to lend them to me for a few days?"Catelyn wanted to dig a hole and bury herself.Cedrick's face darkened. "Take the kid away and go!" he yelled at Javier."No, no!" Miles struggled aggressively in Javier's arms. "I want to see everything!""Do you know what tough love is? Hitting your loved ones to show that you love them," Javier yelled.Smack!The tiny slap landed on Javier's chest.

    In addition to that, Granny Atherton had given Quinn a credit card with no limits and even announced publicly that she was her most beloved granddaughter and would give her anything she wanted.Quinn got a little too carried away at the moment and almost said that she wanted a house, a car, and her own company.Fortunately, she had not completely forgotten Lola's instructions, so she reminded herself to stay cool.Occasionally, Granny Atherton would ask Quinn questions about Summer and her tomb. She would just give a vague answer, saying that Summer was cremated.Quinn also mentioned that Summer lived in the countryside so that she could cover up the whereabouts of her body after her death.Granny Atherton's hands trembled as she heard Quinn's words, and she just continued eating as if nothing had happened.Quinn had worked in the Mason Group. Now that she was the new granddaughter of the Atherton Family, she was instantly promoted and did not need to do any petty work anymore, such as

    In order to quickly turn the company's bad reputation around, Catelyn and Jolene implemented a series of actions. Other than hiring some influential celebrities as their ambassadors and organizing press conferences, they also put a lot of effort into promoting charity events, hoping to turn their image around in the public's eye. However, it was something that would take more than a night to change. When she knew that Pentaland Group would launch a new project by next Friday, Catelyn intended to avoid clashing with that. She then discussed with Hunter to delay their new project launch. Hunter did not seem pleased by that. The company was short on cash flows currently, and they had only just agreed to collaborate with Deluxe International. If there were no significant cash inflows, they were afraid that might result in a default of the collaboration with Deluxe International! If that really were the case, they would be suffering tremendous loss. However, before Hunter could

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

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.

    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

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.

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.
