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
Catelyn stayed in Mason Estate for the whole night, and the next day, when it was time to go to her maternity checkup, Cedrick abandoned all his work and went to the private hospital with her.…"Doctor, how is my baby?"Catelyn and Cedrick sat in the doctor's consultation office, waiting for the doctor to announce the examination results.The corners of her mouth raised slightly, and the joy and anticipation could not be concealed in her eyes.To be frank, she did not expect that she would get pregnant so soon. Nonetheless, she swore to protect Miles and Ollie's new sibling no matter what.When she was pregnant four years ago, Cedrick was not by her side. Four years later, being able to experience pre-pregnancy and post-pregnancy with him, she had no regrets anymore.However, what made Catelyn feel a little uneasy was that after reading the examination report, the expression on the doctor's face gradually became very serious."Is something wrong with my child?" Catelyn asked n
"No!" Catelyn roared almost instantly, slamming the table and standing up. "Quack doctors! You're all quack doctors! You couldn't find it out before, so this is probably another mistake!"Ceddy, I don't want to be examined here. Let's go to another hospital!"Her sadness was awfully tangible and hung in the air.Cedrick had a serious expression on his face. Seeing how agitated she was, he immediately hugged her to comfort her.Moments later, after making sure that Catelyn was no longer burning with intense rage, he looked at the doctor coldly and said, "If you dare to lie, you should know the consequences.""I wouldn't dare to lie to you, Master Cedrick! Your wife has an ectopic pregnancy, and it can't be delayed any longer. She needs to undergo surgery right away."Cedrick took a deep breath, suppressed the despair in his eyes, put his hands on Catelyn's shoulders, and looked at her. His voice sounded suppressed, making it appear extraordinarily deep."This pregnancy is ectopic
Cedrick paused as he caressed her lower abdomen, feeling the urge to keep her from entering the operating room. Eventually, he let her go."Go. I'll wait for you outside."Catelyn followed the medical staff into the operating room without hesitation.Everything was ready in the operating room. The nurse held the anesthetic in her hand, pointed to the operating table in front of her, and said politely, "Missus Mason, please untie half of your trousers, lie on the bed with your legs open, and I'll give you an anesthetic."Catelyn did not feel embarrassed at all when she was asked to unbutton her trousers, but she felt the urge to run away from the door.Looking at the word [Gynecology] on the doors of the operating room, she was lost in thought.Catelyn took off her trousers slowly and lay down on the operating table according to the doctor's instructions.She closed her eyes and kept telling herself, 'God has His plan.'The female doctor saw her accepting her fate and exchanged
Catelyn's actions were faster than her thoughts as she pressed the answer button without thinking any further."Cat? You're finally willing to answer my call!" Ezekiel was overwhelmed with surprise as he continued, "I was wrong. I shouldn't have kept it from you..."Catelyn pursed her lips, and after a long time, she said flatly, "I have an ectopic pregnancy, so you don't have to bother trying to abort my baby in the future.""Ectopic pregnancy?" Ezekiel's voice suddenly rose, sounding entirely baffled."Yes." Catelyn covered her face in pain and cried, "I'm in the operating room now, and I'm going to have surgery soon. Are you satisfied now?"Ezekiel remained silent for a while. "You're my daughter, so why would I feel better seeing you suffering? Are you sure that your pregnancy is ectopic, however? The report I got at that time showed that the gestational sac appears to be in the uterine cavity.""What did you just say?!" Catelyn clenched the phone tightly with her mind blown.
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
