Chapter 818
Catelyn looked at Cedrick. His question kept echoing in her ears.
Since Cedrick already knew the ins and outs of the matter, she could not hide it from him any longer.
Or was he just trying to deceive her deliberately?
"I don't know what you're talking about," said Catelyn and looked away.
Cedrick clenched his teeth. "The old man found Ezekiel first. He found him in a certain prison and then used his safety to threaten to break up with me and even give up custody of the children.
That's what happened, am I right?"
Catelyn's face turned pale every inch with his aggressive questioning.
Cedrick knew everything.
Her body trembled slightly, and she still wanted to resist. "It's not true. Everyone said that my father died a long time ago, and I gave up custody of my children because you could give them a better life. It
"You still dare lie to me?!" Cedrickroared. He stretched out his hand and pinched her chin, staring at her coldly. "The bloody photo, the phone call between you and the old man, Uncle Ford asking you to cancel the prenuptial agreement. Do you really think I'm an idiot, keeping all these from me in the dark? Catelyn, I'm your husband! why won't you tell me the truth? Do you think I'll take your father's life and death lightly?"
Catelyn felt his anger.
What followed was despair and powerlessness.
"I've thought about telling you and we'll go through this together. But I'm scared! It was your grandfather who decided my father's life and death. With his order, even if he didn't hurt my father, the family reunion I've been looking forward to for the past four years has come to nothing, what are you going to do? Are you going to confront him and continue to be unnecessarily involved in this? Why not just take a step back? I believe this is all only temporary," explained Catelyn.
With that, she confessed everything from the bottom of her heart.
There was a little relief, but Catelyn was feeling more pain. All she did was pull Cedrick into this mess with her.
She did not even know if Grandpa Mason had sent someone to watch her the entire time.
Will he even know about this conversation?
Suddenly, Catelyn thought of Old Madam Atherton.
Grandpa Mason wanted to break her relationship with Cedrick because he looked down on her upbringing and background.
Perhaps, if she was acknowledged as an Atherton, then he should not have any reason to stop her from being with Cedrick.
Thinking of this, Catelyn actually felt a little overjoyed. She said to Cedrick with tears in her laughter, "I think I found a way to make your grandfather accept me. You don't have to do anything, don't tell him that you know the truth. Just wait for me! Very soon, we will be reunited again, I promise."
