"No! He was in a car accident and died on the spot..." Joanne's heart beat fast as she spoke.Since she became a member of the Atherton family, she would pay attention to news related to their family.Just two hours ago, Joanne suddenly saw the news that Eugene, who was being taken to the police station from the hospital, was killed on the spot by an out-of-control truck.Even though it was just right outside the hospital, the doctors did their best but still failed to save his life, and his death was soon announced.Catelyn was stunned, and after a while, she answered calmly, "I see.""That's it?" Joanne asked suspiciously, as Catelyn was way too calm."What do I have to do then? Hug him and cry for his death?" Catelyn sighed helplessly, but she was a little shocked.She thought he would serve in jail for the rest of his life, but a tragedy happened and took his life just like that.She had wished for Eugene's death so badly when she and her grandmother were kidnapped.Thinki
Ollie looked at Catelyn worriedly. "Mummy, are you feeling unwell?"Catelyn forcibly suppressed nausea in his stomach, squeezed out a smile, and said, "I have a little cold and stomach discomfort. You can have the crayfish."After a pause, Catelyn added, "Your dad can't eat it as well. The wound on his belly is not completely healed yet.""I know. I'll share it with Miles."Cedrick noticed Catelyn's abnormal reaction and frowned.He thought it might be Catelyn's trauma from shooting the kidnappers with her own hands. She often had nightmares. Several times he woke up in the middle of the night and found her in a daze with her eyes open. Hence, he did not say anything but scooped her some light vegetables.Catelyn blinked at him and then heard his low voice. "My grandpa asked me to bring you and Miles back to venerate the dead and register your name on our family book this weekend. What do you think?"After speaking, Cedrick stared at her for a moment, waiting for her answer."R
"Were you hoping that it was me?" asked Cedrick as he stared at her with burning eyes.Catelyn shook her head. "Of course not. No matter what Uncle Eugene has done, there will be legal sanctions. I hope you will always be innocent," she said honestly."There's no man who is truly innocent in this world," said Cedrick. He raised his hand and rubbed Catelyn's cheek fondly. Feeling that her complexion was a little chilly, he quickly adjusted the temperature of the car's air conditioner by two degrees."You still haven't answered me. Did you do it or not?" said Catelyn."No," Cedrick replied succinctly without any hesitation.He did plan to kill Eugene silently, but he did not want him to die so quickly. Death was better than rotting in prison. However, someone was already a step ahead of Cedrick and killed Eugene.That person was… Alfred Wagner.Cedrick raised his eyebrows slightly. "Since when did you and Alfred know each other?""... It was just a coincidence!" stammered Catelyn
Even if Cedrick had warned Catelyn to stay away from Alfred, he was still her savior. How could she be ungrateful?Her thick winter jacket completely concealed her slender figure. Her lightly powdered cheeks lit up, reflecting the sunlight on her complexion.Alfred held the coffee cup in his hand and took a deep sip. He seemed to be deep in thought.It's unbelievable. The girl whom he thought might be his fiance actually turned out to be Cedrick's wife…If it were any other man, it would be fine.However, it was Cedrick!"I'm sorry, there was traffic on the way. My apologies for making you wait," said Catelyn as she arrived at the cafe, taking off her winter jacket.Her slender body was instantly revealed as she removed her jacket. Alfred looked away. "It's okay. I've just arrived as well. The New Year is approaching, and I just wanted to let you know that I'll be leaving for Fidelysia in two days.""So soon?" Catelyn was a little surprised. Alfred had just been discharged from
Catelyn was very unhappy and had a lot of trouble with Grandpa Mason in the past. Now that the misunderstanding was resolved, their relationship somewhat improved.She was accompanying the boys while they were doing some ink painting.Ollie was the main artist, while Miles was his assistant. Catelyn was also guiding them, and they planned to give this painting to Draco.Cedrick went to the company early in the morning and did not arrive at the Atherton Manor until about ten o'clock.Today, he wore a light-colored casual outfit. His appearance was not too abrupt while standing alongside his wife and the two kids. On the contrary, it made him look even younger.Catelyn also put on cute little jackets and jeans for the two little boys. Many people in the manor praised the kids, saying that they both looked like child stars, which reminded Catelyn of Joanne.These days, it is not uncommon for cute little children to appear on television. Joanne had been pestering Catelyn many times,
Draco stared at the painting in front of him. It was a family of six sitting together for a meal.Sitting at the main seat was him, a white-bearded old man.Although the brushstrokes were obviously not done by a professional artist, they definitely did not look like they came from a three-year-old child.Draco immediately nodded proudly. "As expected of my little great-grandson. Such a genius! What a masterpiece of art!""We still have half of our genes from Mummy." Miles stuck out his head and said boldly, "It's not all from you."Draco raised his jaw arrogantly. "If it weren't for my son, no matter how many great genes your mother has, how could they be passed on to you?"Cough! Cough!Uncle Ford coughed twice suddenly as if to remind Draco of something.He suddenly returned to his senses and glanced at Catelyn awkwardly.Draco cleared his throat and waved at Uncle Ford. "What a lovely painting. I love it! Please take the two young boys to choose a frame for it and hang it u
Catelyn then asked a few more questions, which were all very blunt and straightforward, as if she was pouring everything out after bottling it all for a long time.There was a burning pain on Draco's face.He felt that he had underestimated Catelyn!She was clearly calling him out for all the bad things he did to her and the two kids back then. Draco choked, seemingly unable to find any words to answer her.Cedrick pretended not to hear it. He sat on the sofa and listened with great interest while pouring himself a cup of tea.There were not many other things in the old house, but there was a lot of good quality tea around, which was collected by the old man over the years."Grandpa, is it difficult to answer my questions?" Catelyn continued to ask. She had suffered so much in the past, and her dignity had been trampled repeatedly from time to time. Now, she finally had an opportunity to stand her ground and express herself truthfully.Otherwise, she would still be looked down u
Catelyn had not received any notice in advance, and she only noticed Miles' name change then.She looked at Cedrick and gave him a weird look.Since when did he change Miles' name?Cedrick just smiled back at her calmly. Catelyn could not figure out what he was thinking. Meanwhile, Grandpa Mason's eyes were all excited with Miles' new name because he was the one who actually came up with it!Since knowing that Miles was the son of Cedrick, Grandpa Mason had been working on his new name.Miles just sounded too tacky!Draco had scrambled through countless books and came up with more than twenty names in total. All were sent to Cedrick.Cedrick did not mention anything, and the old man was a little worried that he would dismiss the names he proposed. However, he did not expect Cedrick to actually select the name 'Alvis' in the end.After reciting the prayer session, Catelyn brought the two little boys to pay respect to the ancestors.Cherry looked at Catelyn and the two little gu
