Chapter 781
Especially when Cedrick was backing down for her just now...
"Kitty, don't cry," comforted Joanne, she gave Catelyn a napkin and said, "Your eyes are all red. You know you can tell me anything, I will be here to listen, and I promise not to tell anyone."
Catelyn took the napkin and wiped her tears. Before she could finish, her eyes were wet, and tears started flowing out again.
"Is there any wine?" mumbled Catelyn. She really wanted to cry, but she was really fed up with feeling this weak. She just wanted to get drunk at the moment. "Can you accompany me for a few drinks?"
"Yes, there's nothing but a lot of alcohol here. You can drink as much as you want!" said Joanne excitedly, she immediately ran to the wine cellar downstairs and took out a bottle of good wine that Edwin had kept.
Catelyn popped open the cork and poured the wine into a transparent goblet.
The scarlet liquid slid down her throat and into her stomach, she drank too quickly and ended up choking, feeling a burning sensation in her body.
Seeing Catelyn like this, Joanne was concerned if she should continue letting her drink. "Kitty, I don't know what happened between you and Master Cedrick, but I can see that he is not the type of person who would give up on you so easily."
Cedrick was being very aggressive when he rushed over, looking as if he was about to explode. However, he managed to endure it and controlled himself in the end.
Of course, Catelyn also knew that Cedrick would not give up. "I'm not going back to him."
"Do you really plan to give up custody of the children and divorce him?" asked Joanne, her eyes widened.
Catelyn's heart was numb, and she poured another glass of wine into her mouth, feeling a little drunk already.
Only by being in a drunken state could she dare to speak out all the emotions from her heart unscrupulously.
"I don't know what I should do next. His grandfather forced me to leave him, or he would kill my father. Tell me, Joanne. What should I do? I don't want to hurt him... I don't want to..." cried Catelyn.
Listening to Catelyn's painful murmur, Joanne was stunned for a second, and then her nerves exploded.
"Your father? Isn't he already..."
"No." Catelyn squinted. "My father isn't dead, but I don't know what happened. He is locked up in prison somewhere across the world. Grandpa Mason found him first, and now he's using him to threaten me.
"I knew it was impossible for you to give up Master Cedrick and the two boys just like that! How could Grandpa Mason do this? exclaimed Joanne,
She paused for a while and stared at Catelyn. Not wanting to see her in such pain, Joanne asked tentatively, "Have you ever thought about telling Master Cedrick the truth? You both can pretend to be separated and let him secretly rescue your father..."
"But that's a gamble with Dad's life," said Catelyn.
There are so many prisons in the world it would be very difficult even for Cedrick to locate Ezekiel.
Knowing that Grandpa Mason was the scheming person he was, Catelyn suspected that he had already been watching her and Cedrick from a long time ago.
If Cedrick knew that Grandpa Mason threatened Catelyn, he would definitely not give in.
As long as there were signs of them trying to locate Ezekiel, perhaps that would be the end of him.
What's the difference between this and her murdering Ezekiel?
Catelyn admitted that she was timid, cowardly, and not brave enough.
