"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
After the genealogy, Catelyn was officially part of the Masons.According to the rules, she and the two boys had to spend the night at Draco's house.Uncle Ford had taken the children to their bedroom early.Miles had lived in this house before, so Uncle Ford was very aware of his preferences, bringing him some of his favorite toys.Catelyn followed the servant to the bedroom, which belonged to Cedrick.Since she was now officially Cedrick's wife, it was natural for her to stay together with him.As soon as Catelyn opened the door, she was shocked by the layout of the room.The curtains in the luxurious bedroom have been replaced with white ones, while the king-size bed is covered with fiery red rose petals, which form a peach-colored heart shape.Even the pajamas placed on the sofa at the end of the bed were all eye-catching burgundy.At a glance, everything was all red and fiery.The servant blushed as she picked up a small black box and handed it to Catelyn. "Madam, this i
Draco took a deep breath and suddenly frowned again. "There is one more thing I have always wanted to ask you. Since Catelyn wasn't the one who put Ollie at the entrance of the mansion, have you investigated to find out who actually did it?"Cedrick's cold eyes sank. The culprit did not only know that the woman in the Four Seasons Hotel was Catelyn but also deliberately created the illusion of Catelyn's 'premature birth' to take Ollie away…Cedrick had been investigating this conspiracy for four years. There were not many clues to be traced. Instead, it was this 'fake Cedrick' who appeared recently in Sapphire City that got his attention.Cedrick had an intuition that this impostor was related to the conspiracy.This fake version of himself appeared in Sapphire City and imitated him. In other words, he would likely be replaced by this impostor sometime in the future!There was an opportunity when there was danger. Cedrick was thinking of using himself as bait, eager to find out wh
Chapter 1943"Just 999 dollars! 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
Chapter 1942"Oh my, Evelyn made the shop assistant kneel to put her shoes on? That was too much! Does she think she's a noble princess?""Check out this video. 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. "Thank
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
Chapter 1938"Now, all of you, stop talking nonsense and do your job. 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. "I can't take it anymore. I want a C-section with general anesthesia..."With a cold ligh
Chapter 1937The nurse rushed to support Evelyn.Evelyn looked flustered and headed back to the ward."Has anyone touched my things?"Evelyn came back like a different person. 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. "She's
