Chapter 856
Cedrick scoffed at Catelyn's words.
'Well, shall we go buy some dog food for the puppy now?" Catelyn excitedly suggested.
Cedrick's face was dull as though a haze shrouded him. "Grandpa Albert will buy it. I'll take you home first-it's getting
late."
"I want to be the very first person who buys food for it! And it needs a lot of other things too. Just take it as a walk with
me, please."
Besides the reason for buying food for the puppy, Catelyn also did not want to go back to Atherton Manor so early.
It was best to wait until Sylvie went to bed before she went back.
Seeing her being so kind to a stray dog, Cedrick got a bit green-eyed and bitter. "You're more excited to own a dog than
to go out to dinner with me."
Catelyn did not notice Cedrick's overflowing jealousy at all as she smiled.' Because it's been so long since I last owned

the plants every day..."
Cedrick remained silent. He never went to the supermarket to buy daily necessities for his sons, let alone a stray.
Catelyn sighed in disappointment, "Well, if you insist, just have Grandpa Albert buy it. But remember to ask him to
buy the healthy and nutritious one, because the puppy is very weak now."
Cedrick stared at Catelyn, who was paying full attention to the blue woven basket, and his jealousy grew even
stronger.
Cedrick's face had been cold since they shopped in the supermarket.
He was carrying a bag of dog food in his hand when they got out.
Catelyn bought heaps of things that were not urgently needed, so Cedrick left the address of Mason Estate and had
someone from the supermarket deliver these items.
He would never let the puppy stay in Ocean Path Residence as it was a place full of memories of him and Catelyn.
He did not want the puppy to ruin that.
The smile on Catelyn's face never dissipated.
Staring at Cedrick's back, she felt a surge of warmth in her heart. Although he was fierce to her every time, he
would always compromise for her at the end of the day.
Cedrick sent her back to Atherton Manor, and his car stopped half a kilometer away from the gate of the manor.
Before Catelyn got out of the car, she wound one arm around Cedrick's neck, leaned in, and kissed his lips. She
wanted to do this when they were walking in the rain, and the urge got even stronger when Cedrick conceded and
listened to her wishes.
However, they were not far from Atherton Manor, and the bodyguard was just behind them.
Seeing that Master Cedrick's car stopped in front of him but Miss Clark did not step out of it, the bodyguard in the
driver's seat was torn between disturbing the intimacy of the two and leaving them alone, or having them part.
In the end, the fear of being fired by Old Madam Atherton triumphed as the bodyguard walked out of his car and
toward the front of Cedrick's car.
When he was about to knock on the window, the door was pushed open from the inside, hitting the driver's nose

The driver covered his nose and took a few steps back, tilting his head, feeling that his nose was bleeding.
Cedrick got out of the car as if nothing had happened. He held Catelyn's hand with one hand and an umbrella with the
other, keeping her from the rain.
Catelyn had not come back to her senses from the intimacy as her cheeks flushed and her ears were burning hot. She
did not notice what happened to the bodyguard.
Before she left, Catelyn glanced at the puppy uneasily. It seemed to have fallen asleep.
She then ruffled its fur. "You'll get better, little one."
Even in its sleep, the puppy unconsciously leaned into Catelyn's palm gently a few times and stuck out his tongue.
Cedrick suddenly thought of something, grabbed the puppy with one hand, and opened its legs to look at it by the light
of the street lamp.
Catelyn looked at him in surprise. "What are you doing?"
'To check if it's a male or female," responded Cedrick in a matter-o-factly manner.
"I've checked. It's a male." Catelyn did not understand why Cedrick would care about the puppy's gender so abruptly.
Cedrick stared at the puppy and said with disgust, "He looks ugly. I'll get you a purebred Samoy."
