"What's up with her?" asked Grandpa Mason."She is pregnant," replied Cedrick.The old man was really taken aback as if he had just struck gold. He walked around the study with an ecstatic expression on his face. "Really? I'm going to have a little great-grandson again? In that case, we shall not delay it any longer. The sooner the wedding is over, the sooner everyone will feel at ease. I will come over tomorrow and discuss it with Syl.""Wait, don't tell Old Madam Atherton," said Cedrick.Draco frowned. "Catelyn's pregnancy is a good thing. Why don't you plan to tell her?""Have you forgotten your genetic disease?" Cedrick asked coldly.The initial surprise of the old man gradually dissipated, and his face now looked anxious.Darci slumped back in his chair irritably, his eyes were cloudy, and he laughed at himself. "Yeah, how could I forget those viruses? Go get Catelyn tested then, see if the child in her womb is healthy.""You don't have to tell me. I've already got Yael to
Joanne did not respond to Edwin, apparently already peacefully asleep.She still had a round-looking baby face, not exactly the most popular kind of look at the moment. There was a rumor that a director once suggested Joanne go for plastic surgery to broaden her acting career. Otherwise, it would be difficult to become popular in the entertainment circle.However, Joanne refused. Instead, she told the director that her baby face was her special trademark look. If she had removed that, she would have lost her identity.Edwin was thinking wildly beside Joanne, and she suddenly snuggled into him like a restless animal…With such a beautiful woman embracing him like this, Edwin did not know how to fall asleep.The next day, he woke up early, at five in the morning.Joanne was asleep soundly in his arms, with her face on his chest. He could hear her breathing sound, which sounded like a snore. Edwin was not turned off by it, and he felt that it was rather cute.Suddenly, his cell pho
Knowing that she was pregnant, Catelyn quickly realized that she had spent less time with her two boys. She quickly changed her clothes and went out to the garden with her children.They built an oversized snowman using carrots, buttons, and branches as the body parts. The snowman ended up being taller than all of them.Catelyn could not be exposed to the cold too much, so she just helped the boys with the tools' preparation. The rest of the snowman building was done by the two boys.As they were done, Catelyn wrapped her scarf around the snowman's neck, and Ollie placed a bucket on the snowman's head."What a cool snowman! I'll get the camera and take a picture!" squealed Miles as he jumped on the spot excitedly. He then ran into the living room to get his camera."Slow down! You might fall!" Catelyn shouted behind him.Ollie was busy building a snowy Spyderman, which was difficult for Catelyn. She had built many snowmen, but Spyderman? Now that's a challenge.She searched for
"Dad, I want to ask you a question," said Catelyn."What is it?""Back then, when you took my examination report for me from the hospital, did the doctor really say that I only had a stomach problem?" Catelyn asked as she stared at her father, not wanting to miss any of his facial expressions. She caught a hint of entanglement in his eyes, and her heart sank a little.Her father already knew she was pregnant long ago!That was the reason why Ezekiel had been reminding her about the many things that she could not eat.But why? Catelyn could not figure out why he would want to hide this from her."Did you already know?" Ezekiel said nervously.Catelyn asked knowingly, "About what?"Ezekiel fell silent and closed his eyes gently. "Are you here to test me?"Catelyn still cared about Ezekiel very much. After all, he was her father. Seeing his tangled demeanor, Catelyn's heart softened."No, I'm not here to test you. I just wondered if there was a misunderstanding. Did the doctor
Ezekiel's words had been haunting Catelyn as she returned to the Atherton residence."It's just a small embryo now, not my grandchild!"Just because the baby was still an embryo, could her father arbitrarily deprive him of his right to live?Catelyn did not have the appetite for her meals all night.Cedrick delivered some supplements to Catelyn as he got off work and was told by the servants that she had not eaten anything at night.He went to the second floor and lightly pushed open the door of the master bedroom. He saw a figure on the bed suddenly shrink into the quilt as if avoiding something. Cedrick's sharp dark eyes narrowed, quickly realizing that something was wrong.Did Catelyn not go and find her father this afternoon?Why was she so depressed? Did she find out that Ezekiel had deliberately changed her medical report?Just as Cedrick walked to the edge of the bed, Catelyn suddenly sat up as if nothing had happened. She pointed to the garden outside the window with a
"I already knew everything you told me. But still, I can't accept it because he's my father…" muttered Catelyn."So what if he's your father? Sometimes, even family could be deceiving, just like Eugene and Old Madam Atherton. The old lady had only left one-fifth of her assets for Eugene.What happened?She almost lost her life!"Time will tell. But for now, I will not allow Ezekiel to hurt our children. I will find out his motives and protect you at all costs," said Cedrick affectionately.Catelyn felt more assured as she listened to Cedrick's words. She raised her head and kissed his chin. Yes, no matter what her father tried to do, Cedrick would be here to protect her and the baby....Even if Tracy was reluctant, her marriage with Trevor was already on the way.What a coincidence, it was actually held on the same day as Catelyn's wedding!Old Madam Atherton had the intention to promote Tracy as she discussed further with the elder of the Jones Family. In the end, the tw
Trevor's voice, the moment it rang next to Tracy's ears, sent goosebumps down her skin."This marriage was decided by the elders against my will, and you know that!""Whether you like it or not, you're my bride-to-be, so get with it!"Several photographers and staff members in the photo studio were waiting to take wedding photos for them. Tracy was so frightened that her face turned pale. "You don't love me, yet you insist on having me put on a show with you. Don't you think it's hypocritical for such an affectionate drama?"Rip!Trevor tore at the veils at the hem of her wedding dress the moment she spoke. He then pushed her face against the wall, and she began to struggle in panic."Agh! Trevor, what are you doing? Let me go!""Get out!" Trevor yelled at the staff in the room, his gaze burning.It was the first time the photographers saw the groom-to-be glowering and pressing the bride-to-be against the wall. However, with Trevor's status, they did not dare to offend them, so
When Catelyn finished helping Miles and Ollie in finishing their homework in the evening, she received a call from Grandpa Albert."Madam, do you have a moment to spare?" pleaded the butler on the other end of the line. "Can you return to Mason Estate now? Master Cedrick has been drinking tonight, and he's been calling your name in the living room…"Cue the sounds of something seemingly smashed to the floor and falling apart in the background.Catelyn stood up from the couch in shock. "Is he throwing something?"Since they got together, Cedrick had quitted smoking and drinking. Although he occasionally smoked or drank, he never got himself drunk.Even if he was drunk, he would not have gone that crazy.Catelyn sensed that something had gone wrong."I don't know! Madam, come back quickly! Apart from you, Master Cedrick doesn't listen to anyone now, and we can't talk him out of it!"Catelyn hurriedly agreed, hung up the phone, changed into a heavy down jacket, and was about to go
