Chapter 779
"She's a close friend of my wife. I have to care about my wife." In the guest bedroom upstairs, Catelyn overheard them arguing about her. she knew no matter how hard she tried to hide. They would still eventually meet one day. She needed to make him give up. So, she pushed open the door and went downstairs, standing at the entrance of the stairs, and stopped the two people who were arguing. "Stop it. I'm here." Following the source of the sound, Cedrick saw Catelyn.
Under a plum tree whose branches were covered with pink buds in the courtyard of the Shoal Villa, there were withered leaves scattered on the ground. Cedrick grabbed her wrist and asked forcefully, "Why did you leave without saying goodbye? Take your things and come back with me!"
"Cedrick Mason, let's divorce." Catelyn tried very hard to pretend to be calm.
There was a silence of a few seconds before Cedrick's eyes suddenly became gloomy. "Take your words back immediately. T can treat that as a joke!"
"I'm afraid I can't. Cedrick, I'm not kidding." she had no turning back.
If Cedrick knew that she came to the Shoal Villa, that would mean Grandpa Mason also knew that. The photo of her father being beaten was still in her purse. She did not want to exchange her happiness with her father's blood.
"We have already got our marriage certificate from the city council, and you have signed a prenuptial agreement. If you want to break up with me completely, what are you going to do with the two children?" Cedrick could not believe she could be so calm.
Still, what Catelyn was about to say would hurt him even more.
"No, I don't want them anymore."
"Say that again?!" Cedrick's eyes narrowed. He was barely not losing his mind. He stared at her as if he would kill her if she dared to repeat it again.
Catelyn stared back at him stubbornly, not allowing herself to cry, and pretending to be okay. "Screw that agreement. I want neither your compensation nor the children. I'm relieved to let you raise the kids..." Cedrick could not accept the mind-blowing fact. He frowned. There was anger in his eyes and blue veins on his forehead. "Did someone do something to you?" He could not believe that she would give up custody of the children so easily.
She used to desperately want to snatch it from him.
