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
Quinn choked on her tea when she heard Grandpa Mason's statement. She stared at him in surprise. "What… What did you say?""Miss Quinn, Grandpa Mason meant to say that Master Cedrick is interested in you. Do you want to be the granddaughter-in-law of the Mason Family?" explained Uncle Ford with a smile.Quinn put down the teacup, suddenly feeling nervous. Now that she was afraid of being exposed as a fake granddaughter of the Athertons, she needed to find a rich and powerful man to marry quickly.This way, she could also be part of the upper circle.She suppressed the excitement in her heart, but the corners of her mouth could not help curling up. "But I heard that Master Cedrick is married. Although I'm interested in him as well, I have never been someone else's mistress. What's more, he also has two children.""Ceddy is so outstanding. There are so many women after him. But no one that is not in the upper circle is worthy of marrying him. Quinn, as long as you're interested in C
"What did you say to Catelyn the day before yesterday?" Cedrick asked, ignoring Grandpa Mason's question. His tone was cold and aggressive.Draco slowly sipped his tea.It was no surprise to him that Cedrick would eventually piece everything together and come here to question him about this.If he did not have this ability, Grandpa Mason would never allow him to take over the Mason Group."Whatever I say to that woman is to make her feel more conscious that the Athertons have found their granddaughter. If she loves you, she will leave you as soon as possible and allow you to marry Quinn. Seeing you angry like this, she probably already did it. A wise decision," said Grandpa Mason."I'm not a chess piece in your palm. I'm not that stupid." Cedrick's eyes were full of anger.The bodyguard had told him that while Catelyn was on her way to the hospital, she was taken to see Grandpa Mason.The two had a conversation for nearly half an hour. When everything was done, Catelyn's entire
All she asked was a clean break with Cedrick so that Grandpa Mason would hand over her father. She knew she should focus on the bigger picture and stop indulging herself already.Besides, she had one more thing to find out—the truth behind Stella's car accident.Days ticked by, and it was already the day to take the laboratory results of the needle.Joanne was afraid that Catelyn was pretending to be calm, but she undeniably looked composed."Cat, are you okay?" asked Joanne worriedly."I'd be lying if I said I'm fine." Catelyn tried her best to squeeze out a smile. "But I can't live in the shadows forever. I need to get myself out of this little comfort zone of mine, or I might not be able to make it before Dad comes back."She had a feeling she might never meet a man better than Cedrick in her life and would not fall in love with other men again. However, she would hide her feelings toward him deeply in her heart until the day she would hear he was thriving.Joanne gave Cately
