Chapter 70 6
Catelyn twitched and blushed. "She sent me photos saying that you were with her!"
Cedrick did not try changing the subject and explained, "We ran into each other in the club, and she asked me to go to a hotel with her."
"And you just complied?!" Seeing that Cedrickadmitted to it, she immediately elbowed him on the chest.
Cedrick acted swiftly and caught her elbow before pushing it back toward her so he could hold her from behind. He chuckled and said, "Why are you so irritated? Since she's been targeting me for a while, I just decided to let her fantasize for a bit. Relax, I'm all yours. No one else can touch me."
Catelyn felt much better and reassured after that, she did not actually doubt Cedrick, but she hated the fact that Quinn got to irritate her with what happened; she was also annoyed that Cedrick did not take the initiative to mention that he had met Quinn.
'He's such a playboy!' she internally grumbled.
"Don't you want to know what's the relationship between your mom and Quinn?" Cedrick casually switched the subject.
She turned around slightly to face him. "what did you find?"
"Your mom's true name is Sunniva Hills, she had a family, and after giving birth to a girl, she abandoned her husband and child to marry your dad."
Catelyn tensed and asked, "So you're saying that...Quinn is my mom's biological daughter?"
"I checked your mom's background and found that she's the only child with no siblings. This is the only explanation to why she's this tolerant toward Quinn."
Catelyn was shaken. Though Quinn did not appear to be Stella's niece to begin with, she never imagined that the two were related in such a way. After all, when Stella married Ezekiel, she told everyone that she had no other family members. That was the precise reason why Ezekiel had always been forgiving toward Stella and would never get upset even if she lost all her money playing poker, believing she had no one else to rely on.
Catelyn laid flat on the bed and felt sorry for her father. Though her father was not deeply in love with Stella, he never wronged her, yet she had lied to him. If Ezekiel returned to Sapphire City one day to find out that he had a stepdaughter, would he treat Quinn as his own or as a stranger?
Stella was fed up with staying in the hospital and sought the doctor's approval to be discharged. The doctor reminded her to come back for another check-up in a few days' time and to also keep a closer eye on any changes in her condition.
