    Chapter 1039


    That evening, Catelyn received a call from Cedrick. He told her that he would not be able to have dinner with her, seeing as he had to work


    overtime in the office which would result in him returningte.


    Ever since they decided to keep the baby, she was worried Cedrick would lie to her. She did not dare to go out alone with her, and even if


    she did, she would request her grandmother to assign bodyguards to follow her all the time.


    As time passed, however, she figured her worry was for nothing. Cedrick was a man of his word, and he never attempted anything


    detrimental to her and her baby.


    When it was aroundte evening, Catelyn changed her outfit and was ready to go out.


    "Miss rk, where do you want to go?" asked the driver.


    Catelyn smiled. "Bring me to Mason Group. I''d like to go find Cedrick to talk to him about something."


    "Sure." The driver opened the car door politely and helped Catelyn to get into the car. He even said, "Your rtionship with Master Cedrick is


    very admirable. It''s so sweet that I''m having a toothache.’


    Catelyn pursed her lips and curled them into a cheerful smile.


    "Are you going to move out after you two get married?" On the way to the Mason Group, the driver chatted with Catelyn. "I''m sure Old


    Madam


    Atherton will miss both of you."


    "I''lle back to visit all the time."


    "It''s a shame for Madam Joanne, though,"mented the chauffeur. "If she was pregnant, then Old


    Madam Atherton would have another great- grandson. It could add more liveliness to the manor, too."


    At that very moment, Joanne rang up Catelyn''s phone for a video call. She had dark eyebags and


    looked as though she did not have a good sleep. She also looked intive.


    Catelyn took the chance to ask Joanne about her gossip with Patrick.


    She knew Joanne used to fangirl over him. Sometimes, when Joanne could not sleep, she would y


    the movie Patrick starred in to help her fall asleep as she mumbled to herself, "Put me to sleep, my


    husband..."


    Joanne blushed when Catelyn brought that topic out.


    "It''s ancient history, and I''ve already forgotten about that. I''m a married woman now. The reporter was


    just making it up."


    "Then, what''s wrong with your eyes? You look like you had a night of overindulgence. Did my cousin


    take his im and take an oath of his sovereignty?" she spoke as though shocked, her voice drawled


    out as she did.


    "Ack!" Joanne choked on her water when she heard the word '' overindulgence''. ’ Why are you so dirty


    after you got married? I just didn''t get to rest well because I was up all night filming."


    Oh, god!


    "Then what about the bruises on your neck? Did the mosquito bite you?" Catelyn was not afraid to blow


    Joanne''s cover.


    Flustered, Joanne quickly pulled up her cor and ced the phone higher so the video would only


    reflect her face


    s, Catelyn merely continued teasingly, "I was worried that there''d be a rift between you and Edwin


    because of Granny. I’m happy to see you two still loving each other. Guess I''m going to have a nephew


    soon. Told you Edwin has a soft heart with women. You just need to coax him, and he''ll listen to you..."


    ''Yeah, right.'' Joanne thought otherwise in her mind. She was also figuring out how to get rid of the


    hickey too, especially when she had to go to the film set tomorrow...


    Catelyn waspletely clueless of the many attempts Joanne took to get rid of her hickeys: Applying a


    coldpression to the hickey, massaging the area, trying a banana peel mask, and so on.


    All the while, Edwin stared at her exasperatedly. It cheered Joanne to see his weirded-out expression.


    Since Catelyn was pregnant, the chauffeur drove the car steadily and without rushing. It was already 6 p.m. when they reached the Mason


    Group building.

    Although it was the peak hour of getting off work, there were not many peopleing in and out of the building. It was probably because it


    was the end of the year, and many staff had to work overtime.


    She called a hotel to order dinner before she entered the building.


    When the executive secretary saw Catelyn, she felt like her savior had arrived. Putting up her most joyous smile, she weed Catelyn


    passionately, "Good evening, Missus Mason!"


    "Hello, everyone. You''ve all worked hard." Cately smiled back.


    "It''s our honor working here!" the employees replied harmoniously.


    "Where''s Master Cedrick? Is he still working in his office?" Catelyn looked at Cedrick''s office.


    She did note to his office very often. Most of the time, she would request Charles and Eason to help her.


    "Yes. He said he wants to empty two months of his schedule, so he''s been busy working overtimetely," the executive secretary exined


    with a smile.
