Chapter 458
Catelyn took the bouquet from Edwin and moved aside to let him in.
At this point, Ollie and Miles had just gotten out of bed, sleepily rubbing their eyes before they spotted Edwin standing in the living room. They instantly perked up and called out to him.
“Uncle Edwin?”
“Uncle Sissy?”
Edwin gave them the gifts he had brought for them.
He then studied the cramped two-bedroom apartment and praised, “Not bad. You managed to keep the house clean, even though you’re living with two kids! It’s a blessing to whoever will marry you in the future.
Catelyn sheepishly smiled as she placed the gardenias in a vase.
“Why did you suddenly come to Franche?”

“I will, if you give me one million dollars,” joked Catelyn. Catelyn indescribably trusted Edwin, probably because he had helped her many times before.
Edwin laughed. “I’m pretty sure Cedrick will give you that, even if you asked for ten million!”

Not wanting to talk about Cedrick, Catelyn changed their topic, saying, “By the way, have you eaten? I was cooking when you arrived. Do you want to eat with us?!
Edwin was a discerning and sensible person, so he accepted it immediately.
“If you insist, I’ll be your free cuisine connoisseur and see if you need to improve in any aspect. Don’t mention it!”
Catelyn rolled her eyes at him. She did not feel that Edwin was good at pleasing ladies as rumor had it.
Edwin seemed to have guessed what she was thinking, so he grabbed a chair and sat lazily with his slender legs folded wantonly.
“Those gold-digging women were all superficial. They’re easy to please as long as you give a little something.”
I’m superficial, too. Please, insult me with your money!’ joked Catelyn to herself.
During breakfast, Edwin mentioned that he had come with Cedrick. He came to visit because Cedrick had gone to Italey, and he felt bored and alone.
Occasionally, he talked about how difficult it was for him to solve the mess left back in the company after Catelyn had fled with the twins.
It did not help that the powerful, high-status Mason family also coveted his position as CEO for a long time.
It took Cedrick a great deal of effort to stabilize everything.
Catelyn and the two children did not seem to care.
However, Miles pouted and mumbled secretly about how he would not have exposed crucial information had he not hurt Catelyn in the backstage room.
Catelyn kept eating silently.
After the meal, Catelyn tried to shrug off all negative emotions and returned to VSA Company.

Fortunately, Ivan still needed her model, and that seemed to remind Amy that she would do better than provoke her for the next few days.
Catelyn ended up working overtime and finished the initial model before sending it to Ivan.
The continental decoration in Ivan’s office was extravagant and elegant. Every piece of furniture was designed according to his preferences.
Ivan made an excuse to have Jolene leave the office, leaving only him and Catelyn inside.
Ivan then slowly crossed his legs, slightly bent his fingers, and tapped his desk. He asked with a half smile, “Catelyn, what do you think of my desk?”
