Chapter 154 Once on Shore, One Prays No More
The next day.
Edwin brought Katelyn back to the Keaton’s home.
In Keaton’s home.
“Grandma, I brought Kate back to see you.”
Melina lay quietly on the bed.
Because of her health, Melina was confined to bed most of the time.
After hearing Edwin’s voice, Melina opened her eyes and said shakily, “Edwin, you are here…”
Katelyn quickly went to the bed and grabbed Melina’s hand. “Grandma.”
Melina held their hands and put them together.
“You have to get married early. I want to see you get married. Have a baby early. Edwin is not young
anymore. It’s time to have
a child.”
“Grandma, don’t worry. I will let you have a great–grandson.
“Kate and I have decided to get married next month.”
Melina took a deep breath and struggled to get up. “When is the wedding day?”
Edwin and Katelyn quickly helped Melina sit up and placed a soft cushion on her back.
“The wedding date is set to be on the eighth of next month.”
With that, Melina smiled, “Well, I should be in time for the wedding.”
“As long as I can see you get married, I will be satisfied.”
“Grandma, don’t think too much. You will live a long life.” Edwin clasped Melina’s hand.
“I will also strive to let you have a great–grandson soon.”
Melina smiled, “After marriage, you have to live a good life. You have to give and take.”
“Yes, we will…”
Melina told them something off and on.
Then, Melina felt a little sleepy.
With that, Edwin quickly helped Melina lie down and said gently, “Grandma, have a good rest. We will not
disturb you.”
“Well, OK.”
Melina replied wearily before closing her eyes and falling into a deep sleep.
“Kate, let’s go.”
“OK.”
“You must take good care of Grandma all day long. Don’t make any mistakes.”
“Got it, Mr. Keaton.”

Edwin worriedly instructed Savion and the nurses.
After that, Edwin left with Katelyn.
On the road.
The driver drove.
Edwin and Katelyn were sitting in the back.
Along the way, Katelyn held Edwin’s hand tightly.
Edwin looked indifferent. He did not refuse or express any intimacy.
Edwin was fulfilling Melina’s wishes by marrying Katelyn now. He also gave Katelyn an answer.
Other than this, there were no other feelings in it.
“We are going to get married on the eighth day of next month.” Katelyn couldn’t hide her happiness.
Katelyn glanced at Edwin and saw the coldness on his face. She felt a little upset.
“Edwin, are you unhappy?” Katelyn asked carefully.
Edwin subconsciously pulled back his hand and lit a cigarette. “No.”
“Why do you look so sad?”
“I am worried about Grandma’s health.”
“Now that the medical treatment is so advanced, Grandma will recover.”
“I hope so.”
“I’ll send you home now. I need to go to the company.”
“Edwin, today is Saturday. Are you going to work?” Katelyn looked sullen.
“Well, I made an appointment with a client. I’m going to talk about business later.”
“Alright.” Katelyn reluctantly responded.
Katelyn knew that Edwin had a lot of social engagements. Some were true, and some were just excuses.
He didn’t want to be
alone with her.
“Edwin, ask the driver to stop ahead and drop me at the front crossing.”
Edwin looked at Katelyn with a little worry.
“I’m going to buy something. I’ll take a taxi back later.”
“Alright.”
“Stop at the intersection ahead.”
“OK, Mr. Keaton.”
Kason stopped the car at the intersection of the commercial street.
This was the most prosperous commercial street in Philadelphia, and it was a place to buy all kinds of
luxury goods.
“Goodbye, Edwin.”
“Goodbye.”
After Edwin left..
Katelyn took out her phone and asked her girlfriends to go shopping.
In the past, because her marriage was not reliable, Katelyn never dared to show off in front of her
girlfriends.
Now that her marriage was finalized, Katelyn had to show off in front of her girlfriends.
A short while later.
Four to five well–dressed socialites came over.
“Wow, Kate, are you going to get married?” A long–haired lady said enviously.
Edwin was so handsome and rich. He was so young. How could he be blind to love Katelyn?
“Well, on the eighth of next month, you have to come over and be my bridesmaids.”
“Of course, it is an honor.”
“Kate. Every cloud has a silver lining. After dating Mr. Keaton for six years, you are getting married.” One
of the short–haired socialites complimented.
However, the short–haired socialite had the same thoughts as the long–haired lady. They were jealous.
They thought that they were better than Katelyn in all aspects. How could Mr. Keaton be blind to love
Katelyn?
“Congratulations.”
“Thank you.”
“Kate, after you get married, remember to introduce Mr. Keaton’s friends to us.”
“Of course.”
Listening to her girlfriends‘ compliments, Katelyn was very satisfied.
Outside the restaurant, there was a man who had been peeping in stealthily.
Katelyn turned around and took a look. The man quickly shrank back and hid behind the wall.
Even though it was just a glance, Katelyn could recognize that he was Connor.
Then, Katelyn was not in the mood to have afternoon tea with her girlfriends.
“I’m in a hurry. I’m leaving. Let’s meet another day.”
“We seldom get together. Why are you leaving so early?”
“I have to design many details of the wedding. I have to go back early.”
“Alright. We will let you go, bride.”
“I’ve paid the bill. Let’s meet another day.”
After Katelyn finished, she hurriedly left.
Out of the restaurant.
Katelyn went straight

As expected, Connor followed after Katelyn.
Walking to the deepest part of the alley, there was a garbage dump here with no one.
Katelyn stopped walking gloomily.
“Come out.”
Connor stopped hiding and limped out from behind the pillar.
“Kate…”
Clap! There came a sound.
“Do you have the face to see me?” Katelyn slapped Connor in the face..
“Kate, I’m sorry. So sorry.”
Connor kneeled on the ground and slapped himself.
Connor was beaten up, and one of his legs was broken.
Connor’s leg had been trained for more than two months and now he could barely walk.
But it was Connor’s fault, he did not dare to call Katelyn.
But Connor had been paying attention to Katelyn’s movements.
“Get up. Don’t let anyone see you.”
“Kate, please forgive me.” Connor knelt in front of Katelyn and cried.
“I will never forgive you. This is the end of our relationship. I am going to get married. Don’t harass me.”
“Kate, I’m sorry. I’ve hurt you. I will never forgive myself.”
Katelyn gritted her teeth and cursed, “You coward, get lost. I don’t want to see you again.”
Connor knelt two steps forward and clasped Katelyn’s thigh. “Kate, I don’t dare to ask for your
forgiveness.
“I don’t dare to disturb you. When you need me one day, you can come to me anytime.”
“Get lost. I will forgive you as long as you never show your face again.”
“Alright, I’ll get lost. I’ll get lost now…”
With that, Connor crawled away.
Katelyn watched Connor leave in a sorry state.
Katelyn couldn’t help but drool..
Although Katelyn hated Connor’s cowardice.
When Katelyn thought of the joy and excitement Connor had once brought her, she could not help but
feel sad.
Some people just forgot the pain when they got better.
Although Katelyn was bullied by five gangsters, now that it was over, she had almost forgotten about it..
However, the wedding day was near.
To avoid unnecessary trouble, Katelyn dared not to tangle with Connor. Even if Edwin was not physically
capable, she would
still marry him.
