Chapter 857

Catelyn felt like Cedrick was hard to comprehend. 'Didn't we go through this already?'

She reached out to take the puppy back and said with a hint of resentment, "No. This puppy is destined for US, and I'll take care of him. If you don't want to, then I'll ask my cousin to do it."

Cedrick looked at her for a while with a livid expression.

Seeing her stubbornly unwilling to let go, he picked up the woven basket in silence and hinted for her to put the puppy back in.

Catelyn quickly put the puppy back in the woven basket and repeatedly reminded them not to abandon her puppy behind her back.

Cedrick was even more annoyed by that.

'Is a dog more important than me now?'

Cedrick put the basket on the backseat and closed the door, not wanting to be annoyed by the puppy anymore.

Before leaving, Cedrick said, "Your father is already on his way back to Amarica. He'll probably arrive at Sapphire City tomorrow afternoon. I will take you to pick him up."

"Really?" Catelyn was surprised.

She had heard from Cedrick that he would get her father out as soon as possible, but as it was a private prison overseas, there had to be a lot of cumbersome procedures.

Even if the procedures were done, the transferring process would take a week.

Cedrick's annoyance dissipated a great deal. He ruffled her silky black hair and was ecstatic to see her happy. "Rest early tonight, and wait for my news tomorrow."

"Thank you, darling." Catelyn was elated. In front of the bodyguard, she stood on her toes and kissed his cheek.

Then, when the bodyguard was about to stop them, Cedrick just began to leave.

The bodyguard looked at Catelyn pleadingly, despite his nose being swollen when the door slammed against his face. "Miss Clark, Old Lady Atherton said that you should keep your distance from Master Cedrick."

Catelyn glanced at his aggrieved gesture. All the joy and affection she had in her eyes were lost as she found him both amusing and infuriating.

"You can go and tell my grandmother that you've failed your job, and that Master Cedrick and I have kissed several times."

He was dumbfounded.

"It's impossible for Master Cedrick and I to get a divorce. He'll be her grandson-in-law in the future. You've worked in the Atherton family for so many years, and I guess you won't want to lose your job, right?"

The bodyguard looked flustered. ' Miss Clark, I was just doing my job."

Catelyn then raised her eyebrows and said with a smile, "As long as you pretend nothing has happened, I'll ask the housekeeper to give you a raise so that you can work without worry for the rest of your life."

She thought that by reuniting with her grandmother, she would be able to convince Elder Mason to let her get back together with Cedrick. She did not expect her grandmother to stop her from getting along with Cedrick.

'Why is it so hard to just be with the one you love?'

Cedrick took the puppy back to the Mason Estate. The more he stared at it, the less pleasing it became. He resisted the urge to dig a hole, bury it, and leave Grandpa Albert to take care of it.

Grandpa Albert had been in the Mason Estate for many years, and it was the first time he saw Cedrick bring any pet back, rendering him stunned for a good while.

"Master Cedrick, the puppy-"

"Keep it in the backyard. Take good care of it, and don't let it run around." Cedrick was so disgusted that he did not even want to look at the puppy.

Grandpa Albert happily agreed, feeling very surprised. Then, he thought that maybe Mistress Catelyn intended to keep the puppy, so he was more attentive to taking care of it.

At that moment, Eason just arrived at the Mason Estate with the results that Cedrick ordered him to investigate.

The result of the investigation shocked him.
