Chapter 515
“Aunt Jessie, you should know who I am. How dare you stop me?”
“Miss Clark, it’s not that I want to stop you, but Master Cedrick isn’t in the estate right now. If you’re in a hurry, I
suggest you go to his company to find him,” replied Aunt Jessie, the housekeeper of the castle, humbly
Catelyn put on a coat and sneaked to the corner of the wooden stairs.
The female voice that confronted Aunt Jessie sounded familiar.
‘Maia? Did she come to Franche?’ wondered Catelyn.
Maia was two months pregnant, and she flew to Franche from Sapphire City. That was a long flight, so she could not
help vomiting so much that her face turned pale when she arrived. She did not dare come to see Cedrick right off
the bat.
It was not until today that she felt much better and came to the estate. However, she never expected that she
would be stopped in the hall by a housekeeper.

Maia then swaggered toward the dark-colored vintage sofa in the living room and sat down.
Maia felt uncomfortable sitting on the sofa as her back was sore.
Aunt Jessie looked at her in embarrassment, peeked upstairs, and frowned. “Miss Clark, Master Cedrick won’t be
back soon. Why don’t you go back to the hotel first?”
Maia seemed annoyed. “What do you mean? I don’t even have the right to stay here anymore?”
“I’m just afraid that Miss Clark will get impatient waiting.”
“-”
“Achoo!”
A sneeze rang from upstairs.
Maia was tense when she heard it; she could tell it was from a lady.
On the second floor, Catelyn clutched the tip of her itchy nose and regretted not having held her sneeze.
She originally planned to leave, but the window of the castle was not closed, and a flying leaf just came in and
tickled the tip of her nose. She felt a little itchy and failed to hold back.
“Who’s there?” Maia stood up immediately and was about to stride to the second floor, but Aunt Jessie tried to stop
her.
“Miss Clark, it’s not convenient for you to stay. Please leave for now. I’ll tell Master Cedrick you have been
here.”
“Get off!” Maia pushed Aunt Jessie away and walked quickly toward the source of the sound.
Tap, tap, tap.
The clear, steady footsteps gradually grew louder in Catelyn’s ears.
Knowing it was inevitable to bump into Maia, Catelyn took the initiative to walk downstairs in a white nightgown and
a dark coat, with her long hair hanging lazily on her breast.
“It’s you!” yelled Maia in hatred as soon as she saw Catelyn.
If Catelyn had not suddenly strode into the hotel and interrupted the wedding, she would have been the one and
only Missus Mason!

Aunt Jessie had been staying in the castle all year round. Therefore, when Cedrick brought Catelyn and the twins to
the castle, she knew Catelyn was the lady of the castle.
She turned around and went to the kitchen to make tea.
Maia scoffed. “You’re already acting like a missus, even though you haven’t married Ceddy!”
“Your interrogation will make me think that you’re still Cedrick’s fiancée,” sneered Catelyn while pouring a glass of
warm water gracefully.
Maia grew flustered in an instant. Even after all this while, Catelyn was still an eyesore to her.
Shortly afterward, Aunt Jessie came out with a cup of tea. It was a cup of very precious Yokeshire Tea in yellowish
green, beautiful in shape, and its mellow fragrance wafted in the air when it showed up.
“Miss Clark, the tea is ready.” Aunt Jessie handed the tea to Maia as she spoke.
Maia reached out to pick it up, but the moment Aunt Jessie let go, she slipped her hand, and the cup fell onto the
back of Aunt Jessie’s hand. The tea immediately scalded Aunt Jessie’s hand.
