Chapter 842
"Joanne is not doing any high-intensity filming work," said Edwin.
Old Madam Atherton asked with a disapproving face, "That's not going to work! I've been looking forward to my little great-grandson. What if he gets hurt in the process? Did you make her unhappy? It's normal for a pregnant lady to have hormonal imbalances in her body. As her husband, you should be more understanding."
Old Madam Atherton wanted to bring Joanne back to the manor so she could raise her baby. However, Edwin always gave her various excuses for his wife's absence.
Now, Joanne had gone for her filming...
Edwin secretly nudged Catelyn under the table.
Catelyn bit her spoon and hurriedly said, "Grandma, Joanne is my good friend. Although she loves filming, she is also very careful to ensure she doesn't hurt your little great-grandson."
"You are always the more sensible one," said Old Madam Atherton. Her anger disappeared the moment she heard Catelyn's words of comfort.
Catelyn squeezed out a sweet smile and served the old lady some vegetables.
However, she was thinking about the moment she stayed in Shoal Villa a few days ago, and Joanne did not look like she was pregnant.
Moments later, when they were done with the meal, Catelyn dragged Edwin to the garden. After making sure that there was no one around, she asked in a low voice, "What's going on with Joanne's pregnancy?"
Edwin shrugged.
"Is she not pregnant?" Catelyn's voice became even lower.
Edwin looked straight at Catelyn. Catelyn subconsciously touched her cheek and asked seriously, "I'm not joking with you."
'Well, to be honest, Joanne really has nothing in her stomach," replied
Edwin.
"Are you crazy?" Catelyn frowned lightly and said unhappily, "Grandma is looking forward to her child so much. What happens if she finds out that Joanne wasn't pregnant..."
"Back then, I used to worry about grandma getting angry, but it doesn't matter now." Edwin held a slanted smirk on the corner of his mouth.
Standing under the dim yellow street lamp, his nose was high, and his facial features had a devilish look. "If you come back with the twins, even if grandma gets angry, it will be more joy than sorrow."
"No, absolutely no! This will make grandma look down on Joanne..." said Catelyn.
Faking a pregnancy like this would only give Joanne a bad impression. It would only damage her reputation even further.
Edwin whistled lazily. "I will try to get her pregnant as soon as possible."
"Edwin, Joanne likes acting very much. Getting pregnant only means that she would have to stop doing what she loves. As you know, the entertainment industry is changing so quickly nowadays," said Catelyn. She could not help but feel worried for Joanne.
Edwin raised his eyebrows. "What do you mean?"
"Get Joanne back and be honest with grandma. Miles and I will intercede for you. I hope this will ease all the turmoil," said Catelyn.
"I will consider it," Edwin replied.
Catelyn saw that his face was not as calm as before. Feeling that it was difficult to continue the conversation, Catelyn felt it was better to look for Joanne instead of talking to him.
Catelyn and the two boys spent a whole day strolling around the Atherton Manor, and only then did they get a rough idea of the layout of the whole place.
