Chapter 665
Right at this moment, the door of the living room opened.
Catelyn was walking hand in hand with Cedrick with groceries. When they saw the state of the house, they thought they had been robbed.
Stella and Quinn were both standing in the living room.
Stella was trying to hold Quinn's hand, but Quinn looked heartless.
"What are you doing?" Catelyn looked at Quinn without even trying to hide the dissatisfaction on her face.
Quinn was slightly taken aback to see Catelyn and Cedrick back.
"There's a rat, and we were trying to catch the rat..." Stella faked a smile.
Quinn nodded, and she pointed at the broom in the corner. "Yes, we were chasing the rat."
Catelyn's gaze swept past Stella's hand. It was not hard for Catelyn to guess what happened in this place moments ago from the bit of blood stain on her palm and her pale face.
Cedrick's hawk-like eyes were fixated on Quinn.
Quinn's heart was pounding when being stared at this way. She briefly said something and proceeded to hide in her bedroom.
The apartment had two bedrooms. Initially, Catelyn and Miles took one of the rooms while Stella took another. Now Catelyn and Miles have moved out. Naturally, the remaining room was left for Quinn.
Quinn leaned against the door, trying to listen to what was happening outside.
"Mom, what happened?" Catelyn did not buy their claim of catching the rat. Did they have to break the TV console for a rat?
"No... Nothing. We were just catching the rat." Stella fake another smile and wanted to take the shopping bags from Cedrick. "stay for dinner tonight? I will cook something for you."
Cedrick's gaze was sharp as he reminded Stella, "Quinn is not a simple person. If she ever makes you do anything, you better be informing me about it beforehand."
Stella smiled again. "Quinn is still young. She just graduated and joined the workforce, why will she have any bad intentions? I will lecture her about it. Right, is she still taking work seriously?"
"She is serious but not at work."
Instead, it was about how to seduce him, and break him and Catelyn up.
Stella did not catch his underlying meaning but pulled Cedrick's hand and said gratefully, "Thankfully, Quinn is blessed with a brother-in-law like you. I don't know how to thank you..."
Cedrick frowned, the way that Stella cared so much about Quinn did not look like a normal aunt-niece relationship to him, but it looked like...
A worried mother concerned that her daughter was not behaving.
In the room, Quinn was relieved to hear that Stella did not betray her.
