Chapter 1020
"What are you doing?" Catelyn retreated reflexively.
Cedrick paused his hands in the air and explained, "There is rice in the corner of your mouth."
"I'll do it myself..." Catelyn hurriedly wiped the corners of her mouth with tissue paper.
It was not that she was not close to him anymore but that her nerves had been tensed up all the time for the past three days for fear that he would force her to abort the child.
Cedrick's lip line turned pale. "It seems that I have become a scourge in your heart?"
After that, he got up, packed the tableware, and walked straight to the kitchen, looking a little lonely.
Catelyn felt as if her heart had been stabbed. She wanted to chase after him and explained that she did not intend to avoid him, but she was just too worried about the child, so she became suspicious...
Before she could do that, Harry came in.
Harry rushed back when he heard that Catelyn was pregnant.
It was not polite for Catelyn to leave Harry alone after all.
"Cat, are you pregnant this time?" Harry stared at Catelyn's lower abdomen and jokingly said, "Don't be like your best friend, Joanne, who faked a pregnancy just to make Eddy marry her in a grandiose manner. Luckily, we found out and kicked her out."
"Kicked her out?" Catelyn was shocked. "Didn't Joanne leave by herself?"
She did not know exactly what happened in Atherton Manor at that time. She only knew that Joanne's fake pregnancy was exposed, and she left afterward.
She was driven crazy by Cedrick those few days, and she never asked about that matter in detail.
When she called Joanne at that time, she did not mention what happened in Atherton Manor at all. It seemed to her that she left because she was ashamed to stay any longer...
"How would she be willing to leave if she weren't kicked out? The title of' Miss Atherton’ is very useful outside,” Harry snorted coldly.
"Joanne is not that kind of girl!" Catelyn retorted.
Turning her head, she explained to Sylvie again, "Grandma, you have been with Joanne for a while. Do you think she looks like a gold digger? Even if she has money, she'll donate it to the orphanage. She never compares with others. Even when she attended grand events, it was all brand sponsorship.

"Since she's so noble, why did she cheat US with a fake pregnancy?" Harry asked sarcastically.
A trace of worry flashed in Catelyn's eyes, and she finally said resolutely,' Because Grandma thought that Joanne was pregnant, and my cousin didn't want her to be disappointed, so he decided to play along with the misunderstanding, planning to conceive again in the shortest possible time, so that was a white lie!"
