Chapter 710
Inside the Benley, Catelyn tossed her purse onto the backseat and looked at the inside of the car suspiciously, she noticed that it was a different car from that same morning when they had sent Miles and Ollie to school.
"Why did you change cars?"
Cedrick had always favored driving his Benley when he went to work. Of course, there were more luxurious cars in the Mason Estate's garage, he just rarely drove them.
"There were some issues with the engine, so I sent it to the workshop," explained Cedrick as he put on Catelyn's seatbelt for her.
Catelyn hummed in acknowledgment and saw from the reflection of the mirror that MaribeL.was staring at them dubiously.
She then rolled up the window and ignored her completely.
Catelyn wondered when this woman would ever give her a break.
At first, Maribel spread rumors about her sleeping with Philip to secure a project. Now, she spread lies about how she had gifted Cedrick to Windy. It seemed to Maribel that she was incapable of anything else other than those unethical and immoral trades.
Cedrick started the engine and questioned what was bothering her ' with that stressful frown on your face'.
Catelyn shook her head, she had no interest in letting someone as insignificant as Maribel affect her.
However, she did talk about Quinn and Stella.
Cedrick's eyes turned cold and uttered, "Quinn is definitely ingenuine."
"I know, right? Mother is too gullible, and I just hope she won't regret her decision in the future..." Catelyn talked about how she did not care about anything anymore, but she could never be that heartless as to abandon her family, she refused to trust Quinn, though.
Catelyn tried to get rid of all the negative thoughts and put her focus back on spending a good time with Cedrick.
She had planned to cook dinner that night since she had some free time. However, there was not much left in the refrigerator, so they detoured to get some groceries before heading home.
She had wanted to go to the night market, but Cedrick never liked going to a grocery store, let alone a market.
After about 10 minutes of grocery shopping, Catelyn managed to fill up a few bags of fresh produce. She planned on trying her hands on a seafood bisque that weekend.
The recipe was given to her by an old family chef back in the day. The prep for the dish was complicated, and with how it would take at least six to seven hours just for the broth, it was a dish that she would make only once in a blue moon.
Cedrick looked around at the loud grocer and frowned as he followed Catelyn closely behind, holding the bags of groceries for her.
Catelyn did not have to carry any bags herself for the entire shopping trip.
Ever since they moved to Green Islands, Cedrick finally gained some basic household and daily skills. It was something Catelyn never thought she would get to witness.
When they first met, Cedrick had no clue where the entrance of a grocer even was, according to ollie.
