Our Billion-Worth Twins by Velvet Antler novel Chapter 1039

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 returning late.

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 around late evening, Catelyn changed her outfit and was ready to go out.

"Miss Clark, 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 relationship 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'll come back to visit all the time."

"It's a shame for Madam Joanne, though," lamented 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 plaintive.

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 play 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 claim 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 collar and placed the phone higher so the video would only reflect her face

Alas, 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 was completely clueless of the many attempts Joanne took to get rid of her hickeys: Applying a cold compression 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.
