Chapter 853

Catelyn promised Stella that Quinn would be safe.

"I've hired a criminal defense lawyer for her. The lawyer said that she's not the mastermind but an accomplice, so the

sentence shouldn't be too severe if she has a good attitude and is willing to cooperate."

Catelyn also told Stella the truth that Quinn would not be acquitted.

She was a criminal who attempted to poison her biological mother, which severely conflicted with the law and morality.

Stella secretly shed tears, and her eyes were covered with a gray fog of despair. "I tried to stop her long ago, but she

didn't listen... Maybe it's best for her to be imprisoned. There's no material temptation there, a-and maybe she can

change her mind. In the future when she's released, she'll get to embrace a new life."

The sky was gloomy, and it started drizzling when Catelyn and Cedrick left the hospital.

Cedrick's car was parked in the parking lot.

He was about to enter the driver's seat, but Catelyn stopped him, and the atmosphere became a little dignified

because of what Stella had said. To ease the tension between them, Catelyn intertwined her fingers with his as she

said, "I don't want to go back yet. Do you want to accompany me to take a stroll outside?"

Cedrick gazed up at the sky. "It's raining now. Why would you want a stroll?" "Because we've never done that

before. Don't you think it's very romantic?" At the end of the day, Sylvie sent a bodyguard to follow Catelyn

wherever she went in the name of protecting her, so they could not do anything too ' brazen'than that.

Cedrick glanced at her dotingly, then went to his car and took out a large black umbrella.

The two were walking on the long street outside the hospital, and there were not many pedestrians on the road due

to the rain. Nonetheless, the drizzle was so light that it felt like pepper kisses on Catelyn's cheeks.

She enjoyed the warmth Cedrick emitted as she clung to his arm and nestled to his shoulder while he held the

umbrella forthem.

The big umbrella perfectly accommodated them.

She forgot how long it had been since she felt at ease. Whenever she inhaled his scent, no hardship daunted her

anymore.

Cedrick adored how Catelyn clung to him, but his eyes were inadvertently deepened.

Stepping on the wet ground, Catelyn, giggling like a child, quietly stretched out her hand outside the umbrella,

pretending to catch raindrops for a while.

The icy cold raindrops fell on her palm, but all she felt was an indescribable comfort.

"Stop playing like a kid. You'll catch a cold," Cedrick dismally reminded her from overhead.

"You wouldn't know how romantic it is." Catelyn winked at him playfully and asked subconsciously, "Now that you

brought both children to the Atherton Manor, won't your grandfather be angry?"

’No." Cedrick explained, "He probably knew that your grandmother didn't like seeing him, so he agreed to calm her

by letting the two children stay with her."

'Then, won't you feel lonely at home?"

Cedrick frowned. "Are you worried that I'll cheat on you?"

"Hey, don't you dare deem me as a suspicious woman. I'm just sad that there's always someone behind US when we

want to spend some sweet time together. I mean, we're a married couple, so why can't we spend some private time

alone?"

Catelyn did not dare to voice that out in front of her grandmother. She always felt that her grandmother would force her

to divorce Cedrick whenever she mentioned Cedrick.

Everytime she wanted to reject her grandmother's request, she would fall into silence, thinking that it was not easy for

them to be reunited after years when she saw her graying hair.

Her mother would never be able to compensate Sylvie for the hardships she had gone through to raise her, so she

wanted to cherish her grandmother kindly for the rest of her life on her mother's behalf.

In addition, she used to be somewhat disrespectful to her grandmother, so the guilt stopped her from refusing her

grandmother.

Looking at her longing for the future, Cedrick felt his heart inexplicably heavy.

He hesitated for a moment and asked seriously, "Do you still care about what I did on the day your mother had an

accident?"
