    Chapter 853


    Catelyn promised Ste that Quinn would be safe.


    "I''ve hired a criminal defensewyer for her. Thewyer said that she''s not the mastermind but an aplice, so the sentence shouldn''t be


    too severe if she has a good attitude and is willing to cooperate."


    Catelyn also told Ste the truth that Quinn would not be acquitted.


    She was a criminal who attempted to poison her biological mother, which severely conflicted with thew and morality.


    Ste secretly shed tears, and her eyes were covered with a gray fog of despair. "I tried to stop her long ago, but she didn''t listen... Maybe


    it''s best for her to be imprisoned. There''s no material temptation there, a-and maybe she can change her mind. In the future when she''s


    released, she''ll get to embrace a new life."


    The sky was gloomy, and it started drizzling when Catelyn and Cedrick left the hospital.


    Cedrick''s car was parked in the parking lot.


    He was about to enter the driver''s seat, but Catelyn stopped him, and the atmosphere became a little


    dignified because of what Ste had said. To ease the tension between them, Catelyn intertwined her


    fingers with his as she said, "I don''t want to go back yet. Do you want to apany me to take a stroll


    outside?"


    Cedrick gazed up at the sky. "It''s raining now. Why would you want a stroll?" "Because we''ve never


    done that before. Don''t you think it''s very romantic?" At the end of the day, Sylvie sent a bodyguard to


    follow Catelyn wherever she went in the name of protecting her, so they could not do anything too ''


    brazen''than that.


    Cedrick nced at her dotingly, then went to his car and took out arge ck umbre.


    The two were walking on the long street outside the hospital, and there were not many pedestrians on


    the road due to the rain. Nheless, the drizzle was so light that it felt like pepper kisses on Catelyn''s


    cheeks.


    She enjoyed the warmth Cedrick emitted as she clung to his arm and nestled to his shoulder while he


    held the umbre forthem.


    The big umbre perfectly amodated them.


    She forgot how long it had been since she felt at ease. Whenever she inhaled his scent, no hardship


    daunted her anymore.


    Cedrick adored how Catelyn clung to him, but his eyes were inadvertently deepened.


    Stepping on the wet ground, Catelyn, giggling like a child, quietly stretched out her hand outside the


    umbre, pretending to catch raindrops for a while.


    The icy cold raindrops fell on her palm, but all she felt was an indescribablefort.


    "Stop ying like a kid. You''ll catch a cold," Cedrick dismally reminded her from overhead.


    "You wouldn''t know how romantic it is." Catelyn winked at him yfully and asked subconsciously,


    "Now that you brought both children to the Atherton Manor, won''t your grandfather be angry?"


    ’No." Cedrick exined, "He probably knew that your grandmother didn''t like seeing him, so he agreed


    to calm her by letting the two children stay with her."


    ''Then, won''t you feel lonely at home?"


    Cedrick frowned. "Are you worried that I''ll cheat on you?"


    "Hey, don''t you dare deem me as a suspicious woman. I''m just sad that there''s always someone behind US when we want to spend some


    sweet time together. I mean, we''re a married couple, so why can''t we spend some private time alone?"


    Catelyn did not dare to voice that out in front of her grandmother. She always felt that her grandmother would force her to divorce Cedrick


    whenever she mentioned Cedrick.

    Everytime she wanted to reject her grandmother''s request, she would fall into silence, thinking that it was not easy for them to be reunited


    after years when she saw her graying hair.


    Her mother would never be able topensate Sylvie for the hardships she had gone through to raise her, so she wanted to cherish her


    grandmother kindly for the rest of her life on her mother''s behalf.


    In addition, she used to be somewhat disrespectful to her grandmother, so the guilt stopped her from refusing her grandmother.


    Looking at her longing for the future, Cedrick felt his heart inexplicably heavy.


    He hesitated for a moment and asked seriously, "Do you still care about what I did on the day your mother had an ident?"
