Chapter 516


    Chapter 516


    “Oh, I’m sorry. How clumsy of me!” eximed Maia.


    “Aunt Jessie!” gasped Catelyn. It was only her first day, but she was already cordial with Aunt Jessie.


    Catelyn carefully wiped Aunt Jessie’s hand while helping her up. She red at Maia. “You better


    apologize to Aunt Jessie. Otherwise, I’ll have security send you out!”


    “Send me out? How rude!” Maia put her teacup away and stood up to Catelyn.


    She supported her lower back with one hand, and her belly even protruded as she did. “I already have


    Master Cedrick’s child. It’s two months old, yet you asked Aunt Jessie to make me tea. Don’t you ever


    consider if it’ll affect my child’s development?”


    Like thunder pping in her ears, Catelyn looked at Maia’s belly in disbelief, and her gaze slowly


    moved up to look at Maia’s proud face.


    “You don’t believe me? That’s okay, you can ask your good son, Ollie. He watched, you know?”


    sneered Maia.


    Catelyn’s heart was instantly cold, and her knees felt weak.


    She never understood why Ollie suddenly became so disappointed in Cedrick, even deciding to leave


    him and follow her instead.


    Had he…seen the images of Cedrick and Maia together? He was so young, yet he had already seen


    such filthy things!


    “You’re shameless!” hissed Catelyn.


    “You’re no better!” cackled Maia. “Aren’t you happy when you rob someone else’s husband? So what if


    Master Cedrick didn’t attend the City Center signing event so he coulde to Franche for you? At the


    end of the day, I’m carrying his child, and the child’s right is no longer only yours anymore. It’s mine as


    well!”


    Catelyn’s eardrums exploded as countless fireworks were set off. She staggered and took a few steps


    back.


    She stared at Maia coldly. “What did you say?”


    “I said that I can also use the child as a bargaining chip, Catelyn,” said Maia. “You can’tpete with


    me.”


    “The other half, I mean. What did you say?” repeated Catelyn,


    Cedrick did not attend the signing event of Project Castle in the City but came to Franche instead?


    Was he the person that night, the one who dragged her to the small dark room and sent her home the


    next day?


    Looking at this long-standing Franch castle, she suddenly understood why everything felt eerily familiar.


    This was the little ck house from that night!


    Maia, meanwhile, was baffled by Catelyn’s words and behavior. She looked at her with a foolish


    expression and shook her long wavy hair before leaving.


    Catelyn clenched her fists. Her heart felt as though it was submerged in freezing water, and it felt as


    though she had fallen into the abyss.


    Aunt Jessie tried tofort her, “Are you alright?”


    “I’m fine.” Catelyn forced a smile and stared at the ring on her finger.


    “Can I help you to the sofa for a while?” asked Aunt Jessie. “I believe Master Cedrick isn’t that kind of


    person. Maybe there’s some misunderstanding with Miss Maia.”


    Catelyn could no longer listen,


    She did not care that Maia had a child, but she was more affected by the fact that the man that night


    was actually Cedrick!


    Taking a deep breath, Catelyn barely maintained her calm exposure. “Please don’t tell the two boys


    about Maia’s visit.”


    After all, she did not want any troubles happening back at Sapphire City to bother Miles and Ollie.


    Although Aunt Jessie was puzzled. She was just a housekeeper, after all. Knowing that Catelyn would


    not harm the two boys, she merely responded to Catelyn in an affirmative manner…and secretly called


    Cedrick.
