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
Joanne's eyes widened as a twinkle of hope flashed in them. She stretched her neck, anticipating the photos.Edwin looked away from her white neck, calmly took out his phone, clicked on the album, and pressed the TV-sharing button.The pattern of the phoenix bracelet instantly appeared on the LCD TV screen in the living room. Before Edwin could introduce them to the two, Catelyn shrank her eyes suddenly, staring at the pattern, and asked, "Mister Atherton, are you saying that this bracelet is the inheritance bracelet of your family?""Yes. It was passed on to the eldest daughter of the next of kin, but my aunt fell out with my grandmother twenty years ago and took this bracelet with her. It's been said that it has disappeared ever since."Noting Catelyn's peculiar behavior, Edwin added, "Have you seen it before?""My mother used to hang a family photo in the bedroom, and there was a bracelet that was very similar to this one, but I'm not sure if that was the one."The family photo had
"That portrait should be on the wall in my mother's bedroom.""Alright, then." Although Edwin was anxious to see the family portrait, he did not forget to instruct a maid to help Joanne ice her wound.Joanne sighed. "It's so good to be rich, Cat. I'm telling you, Cat: All it takes is a ring of the bell on my bedside. Whether I wanted to eat or play, the maids would bring it to me without me leaving the bed. No wonder so many people want to be capitalists."Catelyn laughed and joked, "Well, you've already upgraded to a rich lady.""I'm not!" Joanne was very self-aware. She patted her purse and said bluntly, "My savings haven't reached thirty thousand dollars, which is far from the definition of being rich!"Monique Entertainment relied only on Joanne to make money over the years, yet they gave her only a small proportion of the shares. In addition, she had been contributing to charity work, so there were not a lot of savings in her account.Catelyn was lying on the couch with her,
