Chapter 1020
"What are you doing?" Catelyn retreated reflexively.
Cedrick paused his hands in the air and explained, "There is rice in the corner of your mouth."
"I'll do it myself..." Catelyn hurriedly wiped the corners of her mouth with tissue paper.
It was not that she was not close to him anymore but that her nerves had been tensed up all the time for the past three
days for fear that he would force her to abort the child.
Cedrick's lip line turned pale. "It seems that I have become a scourge in your heart?"
After that, he got up, packed the tableware, and walked straight to the kitchen, looking a little lonely.
Catelyn felt as if her heart had been stabbed. She wanted to chase after him and explained that she did not intend to
avoid him, but she was just too worried about the child, so she became suspicious...
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBefore she could do that, Harry came in.
Harry rushed back when he heard that Catelyn was pregnant.
It was not polite for Catelyn to leave Harry alone after all.
"Cat, are you pregnant this time?" Harry stared at Catelyn's lower abdomen and jokingly said, "Don't be like your
best friend, Joanne, who faked a pregnancy just to make Eddy marry her in a grandiose manner. Luckily, we found
out and kicked her out."
"Kicked her out?" Catelyn was shocked. "Didn't Joanne leave by herself?"
She did not know exactly what happened in Atherton Manor at that time. She only knew that Joanne's fake
pregnancy was exposed, and she left afterward.
She was driven crazy by Cedrick those few days, and she never asked about that matter in detail.
When she called Joanne at that time, she did not mention what happened in Atherton Manor at all. It seemed to her
that she left because she was ashamed to stay any longer...
"How would she be willing to leave if she weren't kicked out? The title of' Miss Atherton’ is very useful outside,”
Harry snorted coldly.
"Joanne is not that kind of girl!" Catelyn retorted.
Turning her head, she explained to Sylvie again, "Grandma, you have been with Joanne for a while. Do you think she
looks like a gold digger? Even if she has money, she'll donate it to the orphanage. She never compares with others.
Even when she attended grand events, it was all brand sponsorship.

"Since she's so noble, why did she cheat US with a fake pregnancy?" Harry asked sarcastically.
A trace of worry flashed in Catelyn's eyes, and she finally said resolutely,' Because Grandma thought that Joanne was
pregnant, and my cousin didn't want her to be disappointed, so he decided to play along with the misunderstanding,
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmplanning to conceive again in the shortest possible time, so that was a white lie!"
Sylvie seemed surprised.
She was indeed too angry at the time. Thinking about it afterward, Joanne probably did not have the courage and ability
to bribe the manor’s doctor, but even if she misunderstood, she would never invite Joanne back again.
"Whether it's good intentions or not, deception is deception. I'm just curious about what role she played in this
deception. Did she or Eddy come up with the idea of fake pregnancy?"
Catelyn's tone was pitiful and distressed. "Of course, it can't be Joanne! She was forced from the beginning, and she
didn't want to get involved in the disputes of the Atherton family...’
If Edwin had not gotten drunk that night and dragged Joanne to the hotel, there would have been no pregnancy incident
at all, let alone being accused of fooling the Atherton family for their wealth. However, Catelyn could not tell Sylvie all of
that because the farce's beginning was inappropriate for a faithful and religious old lady.
"Nonsense, I think Eddy was bewitched by that woman, she is the mastermind!" Harry roared angrily when he heard that
Catelyn pinned the sin on Edwin as if Joanne was the victim.
