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
Knowing he could not hide the truth from Catelyn at this point, Grandpa Albert sheepishly admitted, "Master Cedrick didn't do it on purpose.""Even if it wasn't on purpose, he shouldn't hit you!"Grandpa Albert took care of Cedrick for so many years. To Catelyn, Cedrick had no business whatsoever to hit an old man like this.'What the hell is he doing?! That's not a good excuse to hit Grandpa Albert!'"Is the pick-me-up ready? When it's done, bring it over and feed it to him."Grandpa Albert looked at Catelyn's lower abdomen concernedly, and then at the unconscious Cedrick. Cedrick accidentally knocked over a vase before she came, and the broken piece cut his ankle, causing him to bleed.Master Cedrick had to be awake. Otherwise, it would be inconvenient for the doctor to treat the wound.Grandpa Albert asked a maid to get the sobering soup and stretched out his hand to help Cedrick. "Master Cedrick, didn't you keep calling for your wife just now? She's here now. May I help you
The maids probably knew that Cedrick would break the bowl, so they prepared several bowls of sobering soup.Catelyn gritted her teeth, took another bowl, and—after testing its temperature—splashed it onto Cedrick's face. "Wake the f*ck up!"Splash! The pick-me-up dripped down Cedrick's head.The soup, along with a few mung bean skins, dribbled down Cedrick's face, and the collar of his shirt was also dirtied by the pick-me-up. He trembled all over and blinked.Needless to say, he looked downright flustered.Grandpa Albert was scared witless upon seeing this. Catelyn was too aggressive!It was the first time he saw someone dare to splash liquid onto Cedrick's face.Cedrick came to his senses entirely. He stared at Catelyn deeply, letting a mung bean skin stick to the tip of his nose, but his breathing grew a little heavy due to anger.Catelyn's pupils contracted by his stare, but she straightened her body stiffly. "I don't know what happened, but you should look at how disgustin
