Chapter 836
Soon, several burly black-suited bodyguards rushed into the room.
All of them had an aggressive, fierce look.
"Grandma, what are you doing..." Catelyn froze for a moment and subconsciously walked in front of Cedrick to protect him, blocking Sylvie's glare at Cedrick.
Sylvie gently pulled Catelyn over in distress, her tone soft as if she was coaxing a three-year-old girl. "The people from the Mason family are no good. Grandma knows what he did to you. Leave him, Cat. I'll find you a better man in a few days!"
Cedrick was speechless that the divorce proceedings between Catelyn and him were not done yet, so they were technically still a married couple by law.
"Old Madam Atherton, do you have any misunderstanding about me?" Cedrick frowned and defended himself.
Sylvie raised her eyebrows and said coldly, "Cat was forced by you to be pregnant with twins at such a young age. Don't you know that it's not good for a girl to be pregnant too early? Now that Ezekiel is in jail and I know it has something to do with your family. So, tell me, is there still any misunderstanding?"
"If it weren't for that chaotic night four years ago, there would be no twins, and Catelyn and I wouldn't end up being together. Now Catelyn and I have decided to let it go, so why are you still holding onto that, Old Madam Atherton? I believe he knows he is wrong about the thing my father did to Ezekiel."
Sylvie did not want to listen to Cedrick. She only felt sorry for Catelyn, ’ Then, ask him to come here to apologize. I want to see how sincere he is!'
Cedrick remained silent and frowned.
Although Catelyn did not know Elder Mason well, she knew his temperament. Hence, that request was something impossible.
"Grandma, this is a matter between Cedrick and me, so please don't worry too much." Catelyn gently comforted Sylvie and secretly winked at Cedrick, signaling him to go first. She would go to him when she had time.
She felt sweet and helpless at the same time in her heart. Sylvie loved her very much, but that love became over-protective.
"How can Grandma not worry about it?' Sylvie held Catelyn's hand tightly with worried eyes. "You are only in your early twenties, young and inexperienced. Therefore, you are easily deceived by sweet talk. Who
knows what they are thinking, darling? Next time when you get a boyfriend, you must bring him to Grandma first..."
Catelyn laughed and cried, "Grandma, I'm in my twenties, I've worked for many years, and, obviously, I'm not a child anymore."
Sylvie tensed her face's muscles. "Even if you are in your 70s or 80s, you'd still be a little grandchild in my eyes. Otherwise, how would you fall in love with the boy whose surname is Mason? You must be immature and deceived by him."
It was the first time that Edwin saw Sylvie's childish side, and he smiled merrily. "Grandma, didn't you use to praise Ced as an outstanding descendant of the Mason family? Since when did you become so prejudiced about him?"
"He kidnapped your cousin, so don't you dare talk to him in the future!" Sylvie sneered angrily.
With a deep tone and a pair of solemn eyes, Cedrick said, 'It seems that I have not done well enough to make you satisfied. I'll work harder in the future to improve myself."
"Draco has already left, so please leave too," said Sylvie emotionlessly.
