Chapter 697
Kelly was not too happy to see this and was about to reprimand her, but Granny Atherton
stopped her.
The old lady's gaze fell upon Catelyn's pretty face.
If she smiled, she would probably resemble Summer.
'Ĩ have no bad intentions. I just heard that your mother is injured and that you are a close friend
to Eddy. So I am just here for a casual visit. Don't you be too tense about it."
Mentioning Edwin helped to shorten the distance between Granny Atherton and Catelyn.
Catelyn indeed received a lot of help from Edwin before.
The lady before her was, after all, his grandmother. She was visiting Stella out of care...
"I was just worried that the bad weather would be a little inconvenient for you to be out and
about.” Catelyn poured a glass of water and bowed slightly at Granny Atherton.
Granny Atherton received the glass. Her gaze moved away from Catelyn's beautiful face to Kelly.

The box was heart-shaped, almost as big as a tablet device.
There was no logo on it, but the edges were lined with gold. It must be expensive.
Catelyn did not take it but looked at Granny Atherton questioningly.
Kelly was holding the box in her hands and said respectfully, "This is Granny Atherton's present to Miss Clark and
Mister Mason for your wedding." Her voice was monotonous, so casual and light as though they were discussing
dinner.
It was, however, a blizzard in Catelyn's mind.
Their secret wedding was no secret then?
Windy knew that they were married, Grandpa Mason knew they were married, and now even the Atherton family
knew about it...
Perhaps she was only one step away from letting the entire city know about their marriage.
Nevertheless, she realized that these were the four most prestigious families in Sapphire City and accepted the
reality.
She did not accept the box but only smiled. "Thank you, Granny Atherton. Edwin had already given US a big
present."
"His present is his present, and my present is mine. Are you looking down upon me?" Granny Atherton suddenly
sounded a little aggressive.
"Sure, we will accept it!” Stella was intimidated and reached out for the box in Kelly's hands while grinning from ear
to ear. "Kitty is just stubborn. She is just worried that she cannot return the favor in the future.
This present is your blessing. How could we measure it based on its sheer monetary value? I will help her to accept
it!”
Kelly 's hands were emptied. When she took another look, Stella was already holding the box firmly in her hands.
Greed was visible on her face.
Catelyn was rather annoyed that she behaved this way.
Even though she had yet to officially enter the top-class social circle as Cedrick, she knew well
enough that there was a gap between the Atherton family and the Mason family.
For instance, all these years, the Atherton family would rather work together with the Clark

Edwin was from the younger generation. Therefore it was normal for them to be close and
exchange presents. Granny Atherton, on the other hand, represented the Atherton family's
stance.
Catelyn was worried that accepting the present would bring trouble to Cedrick.
However, Stella was grinning from ear to ear. She was no longer reserved like she was, praising
Granny Atherton left and right. Catelyn almost could not stand her.
Luckily, Granny Atherton was in an extremely good mood today. She even offered to stay for
dinner.
When it was time for her to go, Catelyn escorted her to the elevator. She wanted to say
something to her but did not bring herself to it.
Granny Atherton could tell that Catelyn wanted to say something, and so before she said
anything, she interjected, "I am sincerely sending you and Cedrick my blessing. Eddy said it was
not easy for the both of you to come together as one.”
Catelyn thought she could no longer reject her and only said, "Thank you."
Granny Atherton pinched her hand slightly and left with a smile.
