Chapter 842
"Joanne is not doing any high-intensity filming work," said Edwin.
Old Madam Atherton asked with a disapproving face, "That's not going to work! I've been looking forward to my little
great-grandson. What if he gets hurt in the process? Did you make her unhappy? It's normal for a pregnant lady to have
hormonal imbalances in her body. As her husband, you should be more understanding."
Old Madam Atherton wanted to bring Joanne back to the manor so she could raise her baby. However, Edwin always gave
her various excuses for his wife's absence.
Now, Joanne had gone for her filming...
Edwin secretly nudged Catelyn under the table.
Catelyn bit her spoon and hurriedly said, "Grandma, Joanne is my good friend. Although she loves filming, she is also
very careful to ensure she doesn't hurt your little great-grandson."
"You are always the more sensible one," said Old Madam Atherton. Her anger disappeared the moment she heard
Catelyn's words of comfort.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCatelyn squeezed out a sweet smile and served the old lady some vegetables.
However, she was thinking about the moment she stayed in Shoal Villa a few days ago, and Joanne did not look like she
was pregnant.
Moments later, when they were done with the meal, Catelyn dragged Edwin to the garden. After making sure that
there was no one around, she asked in a low voice, "What's going on with Joanne's pregnancy?"
Edwin shrugged.
"Is she not pregnant?" Catelyn's voice became even lower.
Edwin looked straight at Catelyn. Catelyn subconsciously touched her cheek and asked seriously, "I'm not joking
with you."
'Well, to be honest, Joanne really has nothing in her stomach," replied
Edwin.
"Are you crazy?" Catelyn frowned lightly and said unhappily, "Grandma is looking forward to her child so much.
What happens if she finds out that Joanne wasn't pregnant..."
"Back then, I used to worry about grandma getting angry, but it doesn't matter now." Edwin held a slanted smirk on
the corner of his mouth.
Standing under the dim yellow street lamp, his nose was high, and his facial features had a devilish look. "If you
come back with the twins, even if grandma gets angry, it will be more joy than sorrow."
"No, absolutely no! This will make grandma look down on Joanne..." said Catelyn.
Faking a pregnancy like this would only give Joanne a bad impression. It would only damage her reputation even
further.
Edwin whistled lazily. "I will try to get her pregnant as soon as possible."
"Edwin, Joanne likes acting very much. Getting pregnant only means that she would have to stop doing what she
loves. As you know, the entertainment industry is changing so quickly nowadays," said Catelyn. She could not help
but feel worried for Joanne.
Edwin raised his eyebrows. "What do you mean?"
"Get Joanne back and be honest with grandma. Miles and I will intercede for you. I hope this will ease all the
turmoil," said Catelyn.
"I will consider it," Edwin replied.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCatelyn saw that his face was not as calm as before. Feeling that it was difficult to continue the conversation, Catelyn felt
it was better to look for Joanne instead of talking to him.
Catelyn and the two boys spent a whole day strolling around the Atherton Manor, and only then did they get a rough
idea of the layout of the whole place.
It did not feel like a normal residential at all but rather like an inner courtyard of a grand palace.
The main hall was luxuriously decorated. The suites extending along it consisted of a study room, living room, and a
meeting hall. Usually, all major events are discussed here.
Going further back, there were gardens, pavilions and gazebos around, all of which had a modern architectural style.
Miles had always been lively and active. However, after walking around, his legs felt sore. He whined loudly, complaining
as if he was walking around a museum.
Kelly chuckled, ’Many things in our manor are indeed antiques, some of which are inherited from the ancestors of the
Atherton Family. Some were bought from major auction houses over the years, and some were given as gifts."
"I see some stuff that I really like. Can you move them back to my house?" Miles blinked his eyes longingly.
"Isn't this your home?" Kelly replied casually. Ezekiel had gone bankrupt, Summer had passed away, Catelyn had no
other relatives, and the old lady loved her so much. Nobody would dare to say a thing even if Old Madam Atherton
wanted to keep her for a lifetime.
Miles was startled.
Although he had accepted the Athertons as his family, he still did not consider this place his home yet.
