In a dark alley outside the window stood a familiar-looking child.Relief washed over Cedrick at the sight, but at the same time, his stare grew cold. He told Albert to cease all searches for Ollie before hanging up.The car doors opened at the same time, as both Cedrick and Catelyn hurried over to the child standing in the alley. Catelyn was not as swift as Cedrick, and with their difference in the lengths of their legs, the steps he took were much larger than hers.Catelyn was soon left behind. However, she assumed that he recognized Miles, so not only did she not suspect a thing, she was grateful to Cedrick for caring so much for her child....On the street outside the alley, Miles crossed his arms and leaned lazily against the wall while dressed in a full-body suit. Meanwhile, Ollie was changing his clothes inside the alley.Both of them looked the exact same and were of the same physique, but Ollie was shy and told Miles to wait outside.The mask on Miles' face made it har
"Master Cedrick." Catelyn pointed at Miles, her finger trembling as she widened her eyes in disbelief. "W—What did you call him?"Cedrick looked at how shocked Catelyn was and scowled. "He's Ollie. Haven't you met him before? Do you not recognize him without the mask?"'Ollie... Ollie Mason? He's Ollie Mason?!' Catelyn felt like she had been struck by lightning."If he is Ollie, then where's my Miles?"Cedrick studied her curiously, eventually thinking that she was so overtaken with worry over Miles. "Don't worry," he assured her. "I promised that I'll help you search for your son, and I intend on keeping that promise, but Ollie has been in a bit of a rebellious mood lately, so I'll have to send him back to Albert first. Just wait for me here."'Huh?' Catelyn was baffled. 'What are you talking about? My son is right there in your arms!'"You..." Catelyn struggled to speak. She did not think it would be possible for her to not recognize Miles, but at the same time, she could not p
Catelyn reached out nervously and placed her palm against Cedrick's chest before leaning backward. "Speak properly! Why are you leaning closer all of a sudden?""I'm concerned that you might not hear me.""What… What do you want to ask about?"Cedrick decided not to tease her any longer and cut to the chase. "On the night your father was sentenced to death four years ago, were you in Four Seasons Hotel?"Under the light, she stared at his straightened trousers and shiny black leather shoes as she was brought back to that night four years ago.It was a nightmare that she would not wish to remember for the rest of her life, and the tips of her fingers trembled at the memories.She looked up, her eyes reflecting his figure, as she curled her lips sarcastically. "I wish I wasn't there."'She was in Four Seasons Hotel after all. The screenshot from the surveillance wasn't forged!' Cedrick confirmed to himself. He stared into her eyes as a certain emotion built up within him, threaten
No one could notice the difference between both boys simply by their physical looks, but Catelyn was instantly reminded of the comparison between them.Miles loved spicy food, but this boy was admitted to the hospital for eating spicy food. Miles loved swimming, while this boy would rather die than go to the swimming pool in their residential area. Miles was active and wilful, so he never liked learning calligraphy, whereas this boy had perfect handwriting to the point that Miss Jane complimented him in class for his demeanor.Ollie did not let any change in Catelyn's expression go unnoticed; his heart raced as he noticed her scowling and pursing her lips in surprise and doubt.'Did she find out that I'm not her son? Will she chase me out?' he fretted internally."You..." She grabbed onto Ollie's sleeves with shivering hands before continuing, "You're not my Miles, are you?"The last strand of hope in Ollie's eyes faded away when he confirmed that Catelyn had learned the truth."
Tears welled up in Ollie's eyes. "My mother is a forbidden topic in Mason Estate. No one would tell me who she is, and Daddy won't let me ask about her either. The servants once joked around and said that my mom has abandoned me because she left me at the doorstep of the estate…"He started sobbing helplessly, his shoulders shivering as he did.Catelyn felt like a piece of her heart was ripped off at the pained expression on Ollie's face, and she immediately reached out to pull him into her arms."No, you're not an abandoned child! You have a mother, alright? She didn't abandon you; it's all just an accident...""An… An accident?" Ollie wrapped his arms around her neck and asked dazedly, "How would you know that it's an accident, Aunt Catelyn?""Because...there's a huge chance that I'm your mother, but I've never abandoned you!"She did not believe that two unrelated individuals could look this alike, so the only sensible explanation would be that Ollie was the other child she ga
Ollie used to be so worried that his true identity would be exposed, that Catelyn, in turn, would despise him. At this moment, however, he was recognized as his mother's dearest child.He no longer needed to worry about Catelyn hating him anymore!Greed was human nature. Back then, he had hoped that his mother would return to him, but now that she was back, he craved for a complete family—including Miles, his mother, and his father.Four of them, to live happily ever after.Hearing this, Catelyn squatted before Ollie, her gaze ever so gentle as she held his tiny hands with determination in her voice, "Can you promise me something, Little Ollie?""Of course." Ollie nodded."Before I find out the truth of how you ended up with the Masons, you have to keep the secret between us. Don't let anyone know that I'm your mother, alright?"Ollie looked down as he mumbled, "Daddy's not a bad guy.""But I'm worried that he might try to take custody of you and Miles, and I won't be able to s
Catelyn even went as far as making a table full of dishes for Ollie."Of course, but…" Ollie scratched his head and said, "Miles is still in the Mason Estate."Catelyn fell into silent contemplation.Ollie was right; she could not have both of her babies at the same time.One of them had to be in the Mason Estate, or Cedrick would flip the world upside down looking for his child."Don't worry about it. Mommy will think of a way to get Miles out so the three of us can be together," Catelyn encouraged herself.Her priority was to find out who the man was from four years ago.…The next day, Catelyn brought Ollie out for shopping. He had been wearing Miles' clothes, and though they fitted him nicely, he deserved his own clothes. On top of that, both children had different personalities and liked different things.The pair walked out of the house holding hands and was met with Jamie's car waiting outside.Jamie came out of his car. He was clearly waiting for the pair.Catelyn pu
Ollie looked toward the source of light and noticed a man sneaking around with a camera pointed at the three of them!"Mommy, someone's taking pictures of us." Ollie tugged on Catelyn's shirt guardedly.Catelyn pulled Ollie behind her by instinct and concealed his face. He could not be exposed to the public, more so being found out that Miles and Ollie looked identical to each other.Something was off, though. Why would anyone take pictures of her? She was not a celebrity.Catelyn's expression shifted as she strode toward the man and attempted to take the camera off his hands."Who allowed you to take pictures of us? Delete them!""Master Jamie, I had taken the pictures as you ordered." The cameraman easily dodged Catelyn's hands. He moved to the side and stood before Jamie.Catelyn's hands froze mid-air as her eyes widened upon hearing what the cameraman said to Jamie. She shot Jamie a pointed stare."This is your cameraman? Jamie Mason, what are you trying to do?""Don't you
