Especially when Cedrick was backing down for her just now…"Kitty, don't cry," comforted Joanne. She gave Catelyn a napkin and said, "Your eyes are all red. You know you can tell me anything, I will be here to listen, and I promise not to tell anyone."Catelyn took the napkin and wiped her tears. Before she could finish, her eyes were wet, and tears started flowing out again."Is there any wine?" mumbled Catelyn. She really wanted to cry, but she was really fed up with feeling this weak. She just wanted to get drunk at the moment. "Can you accompany me for a few drinks?""Yes, there's nothing but a lot of alcohol here. You can drink as much as you want!" said Joanne excitedly. She immediately ran to the wine cellar downstairs and took out a bottle of good wine that Edwin had kept.Catelyn popped open the cork and poured the wine into a transparent goblet.The scarlet liquid slid down her throat and into her stomach. She drank too quickly and ended up choking, feeling a burning se
Joanne knew Catelyn was just saying it to make herself feel better. Catelyn was drunk at the moment, but when she woke up sober the next day, she continued to think of a plan.She did not believe it was a dead end.Surely, there must be other ways.Before Catelyn was completely drunk, she reminded Joanne not to tell Cedrick, to which she agreed. Soon after, Catelyn fell into a deep sleep.Joanne shook her head and called her servant to help Catelyn to her bed to rest.After everything was settled, Joanne took off her shoes and crawled into her bed. At this moment, the room door was opened, and in came Edwin with his eyebrows raised.He could smell the strong, pungent smell of alcohol in the room and frown in disgust. Joanne turned her head and stared at him. "You… You! Who gave you permission to come in? This is the girl's room! Get out!"Edwin ordered his servant to take care of Catelyn. He then proceeded to drag Joanne and threw her back on the bed of the master bedroom."Ouc
Joanne covered her head in pain, kicked the bathroom door open with her feet angrily, and continued to walk in.The corners of Edwin's mouth twitched several times. He could not bear to look at Joanne directly like this.Why did he even choose such a girl like this to give him a child?Staring at the filth she vomited on the bed, Edwin called a servant to clean it up. He opened the windows for some ventilation and sprayed air fresheners around the bedroom.Joanne had her period for many days already, and it should be over now.However, Edwin was concerned about having intercourse with a drunk person. To get a healthy baby, the mother must be in tip-top condition at all times. As Edwin thought about this, he went to the shelf and took out a packet of condoms.After what felt like a long time, Joanne still had not come out. Edwin could see movements in the bathroom and called out to her, "Joanne! What's taking you so long? Come out quick!"No answer.Did she fall asleep inside?
Cedrick returned to the Mason Group after leaving Shoal Villa.It was late at night, but the video conference with Euro had not yet officially started.He directly informed Charles that there was no need to postpone it. At the end of the video conference, both parties had confirmed the business cooperation, and all they needed to do now was to wait for the follow-up details."Master Cedrick, it's a pleasure to have the chance to do business with you," said the other party in the video.Cedrick replied expressionlessly, "I'm looking forward to it too." Then cut off the communication.He rubbed his temples with his long fingers. On the way back, he thought that something was wrong. If Catelyn really cared that he had hit Stella with his car, she should have shown up immediately in the morning, not a day later.What happened during the moment when her bodyguard lost her?The chill in Cedrick's eyes flashed away, and he called the bodyguard again. "Go and investigate the moments aft
What happened? Why did Catelyn leave?Why did she stubbornly refuse to tell Cedrick anything?...The next day, the maid woke the two boys up gently.They had so much fun yesterday. They both were still a little tired and could not keep their eyes open. Miles yawned coquettishly. He tucked himself into the blanket and said to the maid, "Please let me sleep for a little while."The maid said sheepishly, "Breakfast is ready. Master Cedrick said that he would send you to school after your meal."Although Ollie's eyelids were also struggling to open, he knew he had to wake up.He sat up first and pushed Miles' arm. "Get up. You're going to be late for school.""Five minutes." Miles drooped his eyelids and said lazily, "The Big Demon can go first. Just ask Mummy to take us to school."The maid suddenly flashed her eyelashes in a guilty conscience.How should she tell the boys that Catelyn was not around anymore and Cedrick was the only one left?The maid hesitated, not knowing ho
Was Mummy crying last night because she knew she was leaving?Ollie guessed it right. Mummy was sad.But…"Why?" he asked stubbornly.Without answering him, Cedrick pulled out his slender legs from Miles' little embrace and continued walking straight.Ollie wished someone could just tell him what was going on…The boys did not even bother washing up. They both wore their crumpled pajamas and searched across the whole house, but there was no sign of Catelyn. The scary thing was that the amount of toiletries in the bathroom had been significantly reduced.Later, at the dining table, the two boys seemed to be entangled with Cedrick.One stood on his left, pulling on the hem of his clothes, and the other stood on his right, respectfully."Did you lie to me on purpose, big demon?" Miles pouted. "I've already woken up! You can't say Mummy didn't want us now…""Father, stop joking around. You're scaring us!" said Ollie in a serious tone.Cedrick pulled his hand back from the Mile's
Ollie recalled carefully and said to Miles, "Did you feel that something was wrong with Mummy the day before yesterday?"Miles' eyes sank. "You mean it started when Mummy didn't come home?"Ollie nodded, his little heart clenched into a ball. "Especially last night, Mommy took us out to play and kept saying that she wanted to fulfill our wishes and make up for us. She was clearly ready to leave early in the morning."Listening to Ollie's explanation, Miles also quickly understood what had happened.He started regretting that he only cared about playing yesterday, not paying attention to Mummy…Staring at the big pile of shopping bags in the opposite corner of the room, Miles grew enraged like a little lion, running over angrily and knocking everything down.All the gifts, including clothes, school bags, shoes, and toys, were scattered all over the place.Miles did not want these gifts anymore. He just wanted Mummy to stay by his side!When the maid heard the commotion, she hurr
Miles gave it a thought. He pouted and said, "Do you know where Mummy is?""She's at your godmother's house, and I can have someone take you there," replied Cedrick.He briefly explained what happened to Miles but not mentioning the car accident with Stella. He emphasized that Catelyn suddenly left without any warning.Something seemed odd about it…"In other words, I need you to find out why she left. Can you do that?" asked Cedrick.Miles just snorted back at him.Seeing him like this, Cedrick deliberately taunted him, "Well, just say it if you can't do it. I won't laugh at you.""Do you think I'm you? You can't coax Mummy back even though you already knew her whereabouts?" Miles stared at Cedrick with disdain. "Just wait. I will definitely find out the truth!"After speaking, he dragged his suitcase and continued to walk out.Ollie suddenly felt a little envious of Miles. If he could speak so freely like him, he would leave too.However, his sense of reasoning had always b
