Chapter 777
Catelyn sent a message to Joanne in advance, telling her that she would make a visit to her house for a while.
For two reasons Catelyn made the visit. Joanne had a good relationship with her, so she was the best candidate when she needed someone to confide in. Besides, Joanne was now living in Shoal Villa, which was owned by Edwin. For the sake of Cedrick's relationship with Edwin, he would not do anything silly or irrational.
Knowing that Catelyn was coming, Joanne deliberately waited for her outside the villa. When she saw her getting off the taxi with luggage, she was flabbergasted. "Cat, did you quarrel with Master Cedrick? Why are you here alone?" she hurried to take over the luggage. Fortunately, it was not heavy.
Catelyn smiled bitterly and said, "It's a long story. I might divorce Cedrick..."
"Divorce?!"
Joanne's pitch suddenly rose several degrees and she laughed. " Haha, today isn't April Fool's Day, so stop teasing me! You and Master Cedrick are such a lovely couple, plus he asked Edwin and me to help you before, so that must be a joke. Nice try, Cat."
Joanne's laughter echoed in the air. still, Catelyn stood quietly and said nothing.
Joanne's smile slowly faded, looking embarrassed. "You really plan to divorce Master Cedrick...?"
"So, can I stay at your place... just for some days?"
"Stay as long as you want. Bad Guy Edwin rarely sleeps here, and I feel lonely living in such a big villa!" Joanne carefully observed Catelyn's expression. Her eyes were red, and her long eyelashes were stuck together. It was obvious that she had cried.
'What did Master Cedrick do that made her think of divorcing him? Why didn't the two babies follow her here? Did she plan to give up custody of her children already? That's so out of her style! She was so afraid of losing Miles that she was reluctant to gamble on even the slightest possibility, but now she's going to give up voluntarily?' Joanne mused.
Cedrick soon received a call from the maid. He did not pay much attention to what the maid had said, except for the last sentence. "I just went to Green Islands, but the security guard told me that Missus Mason had long left with her luggage." Cedrick was initially on his way to the meeting room, but he stopped immediately when the maid told him about that. He walked to the corner of a balcony and said in a cold voice, "what happened?"
"I don't know what happened. Missus Mason suddenly told me a lot of details about your life and the young masters, when I was about to ask again, she'd already hung up the phone. Master
Cedrick... do you think Missus Mason is going to take her own life? " the maid said anxiously on the phone, with no idea where a woman could go with luggage in the middle of the night.
Cedrick frowned, unable to imagine that the woman who was still with him at noon would suddenly leave. "Did someone come to pick her up?"
