Chapter 458
Catelyn took the bouquet from Edwin and moved aside to let him in.
At this point, Ollie and Miles had just gotten out of bed, sleepily rubbing their eyes before they spotted Edwin standing in the living room. They instantly perked up and called out to him.
“Uncle Edwin?”
“Uncle Sissy?”
Edwin gave them the gifts he had brought for them.
He then studied the cramped two-bedroom apartment and praised, “Not bad. You managed to keep the house clean, even though you’re living with two kids! It’s a blessing to whoever will marry you in the future.
Catelyn sheepishly smiled as she placed the gardenias in a vase.
“Why did you suddenly come to Franche?”
“If I said I came to see you with Cedrick, would you believe it?”
“I will, if you give me one million dollars,” joked Catelyn. Catelyn indescribably trusted Edwin, probably because he had helped her many times before.
Edwin laughed. “I’m pretty sure Cedrick will give you that, even if you asked for ten million!”
Not wanting to talk about Cedrick, Catelyn changed their topic, saying, “By the way, have you eaten? I was cooking when you arrived. Do you want to eat with us?!
Edwin was a discerning and sensible person, so he accepted it immediately.
“If you insist, I’ll be your free cuisine connoisseur and see if you need to improve in any aspect. Don’t mention it!”
Catelyn rolled her eyes at him. She did not feel that Edwin was good at pleasing ladies as rumor had it.
Edwin seemed to have guessed what she was thinking, so he grabbed a chair and sat lazily with his slender legs folded wantonly.
