Chapter 689
Joanne pondered for a few seconds, then muttered, "Edwin Atherton."
Catelyn stood up from the sofa in shock. "You're kidding!"
"I sure wish I was!" Joanne choked.
Catelyn patted her on the back while cursing Edwin’s name, she then quickly said, "Is it because Edwin felt ashamed of you, so he decided to compensate by marrying you?"
Joanne did not dare to tell Catelyn how she got pregnant, she leaned over and hugged Catelyn. "Sob... Kitty, I don't want to leave you!"
She started tearing up and continued, "Here I am, signing up myself to a hellish marriage. How I wish I were like you to have a husband like Master Cedrick..."
Joanne's mind was racing. From now on, she would have to focus on taking care of her womb until the baby is born, and then she would have to nurse the child.
Catelyn was worried for Joanne. Edwin had a pretty bad reputation.
He might bully Joanne, and even his mistresses would humiliate her. She may not be able to handle it.
"Let me know if Edwin treats you badly or if he dares to bring unruly women to provoke you. I'll help you!" said Catelyn.
Joanne choked as if being reminded of something, she suddenly sat up and said, "Right, I'll just go make a wish tomorrow. I wish that his mistresses would just kill him by accident!"
And then, she could escape from Edwin and the sea of misery.
Catelyn was speechless.
At this moment, Joanne's cell phone rang.
Catelyn glanced at the phone screen and saw Edwin's name on it.
Joanne looked worried, she picked up the call and immediately heard Edwin's blabbering over the receiver, "Are you not done packing up yet? Hurry up. I'm waiting for you downstairs!"
Joanne hesitated and replied, "I didn't ask you to wait for me. If you are so impatient, just go home on your own!"
"I'm afraid I can't do that. Without me, the security guard will not let you pass," said Edwin flatly. Joanne was so furious that she threw her phone on the sofa.
Catelyn accompanied Joanne downstairs and walked her to Edwin's car.
Edwin was startled for a moment when he saw them both approaching him. He smiled faintly and greeted, "Good morning, Kitty."
"Joanne is my best friend. If you bully her, I will not forgive you!" said Catelyn.
