Cedrick and Edwin returned to Mason Estate, and the servants rose to greet them as they arrived. "Master Cedrick, Mister Atherton."Edwin winked at the head of the servants, to which she blushed and felt her heart soar at the gesture. All the maids were delighted to see them.Both men then made their way to the swimming pool, where Miles was already waiting with a dark-colored towel wrapped around him. He was ready to win the challenge."Master Cedrick, you've returned," greeted Albert as he came forward, his lips wearing a light smile.Cedrick looked at Miles doubtfully, not believing the boy could win the bet. "Did he really learn how to swim?"Over the past year, Cedrick had tried numerous ways to get Ollie to learn swimming but to no avail.Miles dashed forward excitedly. "Don't underestimate me, Big Demon. I'm very good at swimming!"Cedrick snickered. "If you can come out there without cramps, it'll be impressive enough."Miles' cheeks inflated at this. His tiny hands tug
Albert, nonetheless, was worried that Ollie would hurt himself for holding his breath too long and shouted, "That's good enough, Young Master Ollie! You can come up now.""..."It was all quiet at the pool. There was no response.All of a sudden, Miles floated in the middle of the pool, unmoving.Albert's smile froze. "Y—Young Master Ollie? Master Cedrick, has he drowned?!"Cedrick's expression changed at this moment. He instantly took his coat off and dove into the water swiftly, swimming toward Miles.The pool was not big nor too deep, but it was nonetheless dangerous for a child like Miles.Cedrick swam with vigor to finally reach Miles. He stretched his long arm out and grabbed Miles firmly.He was about to take a close look at what happened when—Splash!Miles' eyes opened widely as he impishly scooped water from the pool and splashed Cedrick's face."You fell for it, Big Demon!"Cedrick stuck his head out of the water, his dark hair sticking to the sides of his temple
Miles felt like he was meat on a chopping board. He put up a vehement struggle, and Cedrick had a hard time holding him still.Luckily, it was a short distance from the center of the pool to the side.Cedrick moved so swiftly that he was already making his way out of the pool in the blink of an eye. Water dripped down from his body as he got to the side of the pool and placed Miles on the ground carefully.Miles, not expecting he would be put down, ended up punching the air instead. He took two steps back to balance himself.His eyes widened and looked at Cedrick unblinkingly.Since his clothes were entirely drenched, Cedrick started unbuttoning his shirt and took it off along with his belt, revealing his buff build.It was Miles's first time to see such a good and strong body, and his jaw dropped at the sight.He secretly clenched his fist to flex his biceps before pinching it, only to feel mere fat. It was nothing like Cedrick's muscular body."Master Cedrick, here's your rob
Albert felt his heart melting at the sight of Cedrick and 'Ollie', having captured the moment on the camera. The boy had often expressed his distaste toward Cedrick, yet he would also mimic him.It was a rare sight to see the two interacting harmoniously."Master Cedrick, I forgot to tell you something," Albert chimed in gently.Cedrick asked, "What's the matter?""We received a message from your hometown. Miss Janice misses you dearly and would like you to visit sometimes." Albert had also just received the call earlier, but he did not have the heart to intrude, seeing the father-son duo were having quality time.Janice was Cedrick's aunt, who was also one of the relatives that he cared the most about.Cedrick thought that Janice was bothered by the fact that Maia wanted to cancel the engagement and thus replied, "Got it, I'll go back this weekend."It so happened that he had something to tell her, too.…Catelyn had a long sleep and finally mustered enough strength to head o
Catelyn stared blankly at the phone screen, and the light of the desk lamp reflected her eyebrows on the dark screen.She knew very well that a design draft was of the utmost importance to its creator, so she had kept hers well-protected at all times, not to mention the draft for the competition in which she had completed the entire process at home.There was no outsider in the house, so it could not have been stolen.Could Stella have done it? Impossible.It had to be someone else…It was Queenie! She had intruded on her mobile phone that day, taking pictures around with it!At that moment, Catelyn's design draft was placed above the desk. Queenie must have discovered it and then used her design on it, which caused the original to be slandered as plagiarism!…At night.The headquarters of Chandier Jewelry was located in one of the most prosperous business districts in Sapphire City.The female person in charge hung up the phone and respectfully looked at the woman sitting a
The housekeeper had instructed the servant to serve Catelyn some tea."Please wait for a moment, Miss Clark. Young Master had gone out to run some errands," said the old housekeeper. There was a hint of tiredness in his voice when he spoke.Catelyn was about to mention that she was here for Queenie when suddenly, a high-pitched female voice came from the second floor. It sounded like a desperate little beast neighing in pain, accompanied by the crackling sound of items smashed—"Catelyn! This is all your fault, you wench!""I'm going to kill you!""Don't come any closer! Stay away!""Save me, brother! W—Where are you?! Please, save me!"This shrieking voice was very familiar to Catelyn. It was Queenie.She looked at the housekeeper in bewilderment.The housekeeper did not have the time to care about Catelyn, thus he called the maid in a hurry and said, "Quick, the young lady is sick again. Prepare a tranquilizer, immediately!"A group of people rushed to the second floor.Ca
"The world is full of mysteries," replied Miles as he rolled around the bed.He looked forward to switching back their identities, when he could then reunite with his mother at long last.Miles had missed her terribly.Ollie's eyebrows knitted to a frown. "No matter how coincidently matters can get, there will never be two people who look the same.""Although I'm very reluctant to acknowledge my old man, he is the nephew of Big Demon. They both look alike, and we're their sons respectively. Looking at it this way, it's not surprising that we both look alike as well," said Miles.He paused a while and abruptly raised his eyebrows and said to Ollie with a hint of warning, "Don't try to change the subject, or I won't let you have Mommy again."Ollie pouted. True, he did try to divert Miles' attention so he could continue to stay by Aunt Catelyn's side.Even so…The questions he asked were also genuine."I did some research. There's only one possibility on why we both look the exa
Warmth spread throughout Catelyn's heart when she heard George's words. "Thank you," she said, "and don't worry about it. I'll go to the construction site later, and I'll update you about specific issues. Is that alright?""Of course, as long as you don't mind the trouble," replied George.Their phone call ended soon after, but the moment it did, Catelyn's mind was clouded with her fight with Jamie.He and his mother had piled up all the blame for Queenie's defilement on her. Moreover, they did not really want custody of Miles—they just wanted to make her suffer!Lori had even said that she would torture Miles every day after she got custody of him. She would make him kneel in front of everyone from the Mason family to atone for his sins.Catelyn could not sit still. Miles was her son, her flesh and blood. She would not allow him to be taken away and bullied like this!Lawyer…Speaking of which, finding a reliable lawyer to fight this lawsuit would be the most important thing to
