Chapter 756
Cedrick had always wanted to bring her to see his mother.
However, due to a lot of reasons, this was always postponed.
The big four families each had their own cemeteries in which they buried their ancestors centuries ago.
Only the people listed in their family book could be buried here.
Therefore, even though they were legally married, as long as the Mason family prohibited Catelyn's name in
the family book, she would not be buried here after she passed away, she would also not enjoy respect from
the descendants after her. In other words, she would be seen as just a mistress to the later generations.
Catelyn noticed the cemetery drawing closer and said cautiously," Are you bringing me to see... my mother-
in-law?"
"Yes." Cedrick pinched her soft hands and looked into her eyes with a gentle gaze.
Catelyn could not help but feel nervous. She looked at her casual loungewear and said, "Why didn't you

that I am disrespecting her?"
"My mother will not mind it. As long as I like it, she will like it too. " The closer they got to the grave, the more
wrenched Cedrick's heart was.
That was because... His mother's name was not on the family book either.
Catelyn did not notice the gloom in Cedrick's expression because she was too nervous.
She knew that Cedrick cared about his mother a lot...
She felt disgraceful and disrespectful to have come to see a deceased in loungewear.
The graveyard forbade people from parking their cars nearby and had metal fences around the area. There were
twelve security guards taking shifts to watch over the place 24/7. Any unauthorized trespasser would be
prosecuted. The Mason family was very serious about it.
The tall fence looked extra grim in the moonlight.
However, when they got near the cemetery, Cedrick brought Catelyn into an alley.
Catelyn followed closely behind him and looked at the main entrance to it, full of questions. "Aren't we going to see
my mother -in-law?"
"She is not in there," Cedrick explained in a slightly depressed tone.
Catelyn noticed his gloomy expression. The Clark family had the same rule too, that you could only be buried in the
cemetery if your name was on the family book. In other words, her late mother-in- law was not in the family book,
and the Mason family sacrificed her to keep Cedrick's life.
There was also another patch of graveyard right opposite the private cemetery. It was also a guarded one.
This was built by Cedrick for Daphne Coleman.
Cedrick brought Catelyn to a bigger grave. It was circular, and the tombstone was rectangular. There was no photo
on the tombstone but a realistic engraving of Daphne's face on it.
She was a very elegant and gorgeous lady.
She resembled Janice very much, only healthier and had more naivety.
There was a bouquet of fresh flowers before the tombstone.

"Mother." Cedrick's hand caressed Daphne's name, engraved on the tombstone. He said in a husky voice, "I
have not visited you in a long time, are you well? I have married Catelyn. I am sorry to only have brought her
to see you after so long."
Right now, Cedrick did not have his usual aggressiveness but instead looked like a lost child.
He pulled Catelyn to the tombstone.
Catelyn came unprepared without bringing anything, so she could only take a bow to the tombstone and
said, "Mom, nice to meet you. I am Catelyn, Ced's wife. Thankyou for giving birth to such a beautiful man, for
him to be my perfect husband."
Then, she took one look at Cedrick and said sternly, "From now on, I will take care of him on behalf of you.
Hope you are happy in heaven."
Cedrick caught her looking at him. He smiled and said, "So, I am perfect for you?"
"...I am just flattering you in front of your mother." Catelyn refused to admit it.
Cedrick's gloom was slightly brightened. "Don't lie about it anymore."
"Right, I did not like to talk about it..." Catelyn admitted, then turned and said to Daphne's tombstone,
"Mom, see? Ced likes to bully me."
