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
Miles and Ollie's biological father was Cedrick after all. He was the man who had brought her years of nightmares!Could it be that the reason he took away Ollie was that he had been planning something all these years?Why else would Ollie be taken away the moment he was born? Even the nurse told her that the child was stillborn!Jamie was satisfied with Catelyn's grim reaction and left shortly with the cameraman."Mommy, what's going on?" Ollie had no idea of the incident four years ago, but he had always hated Jamie for bullying Catelyn.Catelyn's eyes brimmed with tears as she realized that the truth from four years ago had been unveiled. She wiped her tears away and said, "I just thought of something from the past. Little Ollie, remember what you promised me: never tell anyone about yours and Miles' true identity.""I promise."Ollie nodded, glancing from the corner of his eyes how Jamie was walking away arrogantly and with closed eyes.What a despicable man!Beep, beep, b
Catelyn sighed defeatedly. "Be patient. Remember what I've always taught you?""One week." Miles' eyes glowed as he solemnly spoke, "If you don't come get me within a week, I'll tell Big Demon that I'm not Ollie and that you're my mother. He'll surely bring me to you."Catelyn was speechless.This little imp! How dare he use his wit against his mother? She could not possibly get him in a week's time!"Don't you dare threaten Mommy, Miles!" warned Ollie, squaring up audibly.Miles switched the phone to his other hand as he said in a casual tone, "I'm your big brother, so don't talk to me that way."Catelyn was baffled. Had they decided among themselves who should be the big brother?Ollie felt embarrassed as he looked at Catelyn and said into the phone, "Then you should act like a big brother. Mommy cried last night when she knew you couldn't come home. If you continue to make her upset, I won't acknowledge you as my brother anymore."Miles' heart tightened as he pursed his tiny
Next to Cedrick were Charles and the mall's operating manager.The manager's forehead was covered in droplets of sweat. He felt honored, sure, but at the same time, nervous as he briefed Cedrick on the mall's operation statistics."Master Cedrick, the current foot traffic of the mall is—""Who's there?"The manager had not finished his sentence when a bodyguard in a suit spotted Catelyn, who was sneaking around.Everyone's eyes fell on Catelyn upon hearing the guard's announcement."It's me.""Miss Clark?" Charles recognized Catelyn in an instant and growled at the bodyguard, "Don't you have eyes? Make way for her!"The bodyguards stood aside and made way for Catelyn.Catelyn walked through the path that had been made for her toward Cedrick, her eyes filled with a myriad of emotions. She was shivering, even when she tried to open her mouth to speak.No one knew how much she wished she could strike him across the face at that moment.Cedrick Mason was the man who had ruined h
Cedrick, riddled with worry, did not expect Catelyn to shove him away as he staggered a few steps back, much to the bodyguards and staff members' horror as they gasped.They could not believe that a woman would push Master Cedrick away, more so when he had expressed care unprompted!Cedrick's handsome face darkened in an instant."It seems that I had misunderstood something here," scoffed Cedrick as he turned and walked away. His bodyguards followed closely behind as the group of men left together.Catelyn watched as Cedrick walked further away from her, and she bit her tongue regretfully.How could she be such a coward?Before Cedrick could walk into the elevator, Catelyn chased after him and caught up to him. She could not afford to care about the other people on the scene as she exclaimed loudly to Cedrick, "You said you'll give me three chances, right? I'll use my last chance now to tell you that my answer is yes!"…The elevator door closed between them, leaving a cold, me
Cedrick scooped Catelyn into his arms and tossed her onto the sofa, his tall figure towering over her.Catelyn lay on the sofa, her long black hair splayed over the cushion as she was forced into staring at Cedrick's handsome face inches away from her face.She felt stunned and nervous at the same time. Her thick lashes shuddered like bristle brushes. The shadow of her lashes that had been cast on her nose bridge moved in a rhythmic motion following her breath.Cedrick propped himself up with one of his arms on the sofa, trapping Catelyn between him and the sofa, as he stared at her from high above."What did you say?"Catelyn knew Cedrick had heard her loud and clear and was just asking her to repeat it on purpose.For Miles' sake, she did not have much of a choice."I agree to be the black sheep for you to call off your wedding with Maia. I'll do anything for you, as long as you help win custody of my child against Jamie."Cedrick lifted her chin with his slender fingers. "Lo
Cedrick gasped in pain as he stopped the kiss and looked up at the woman in his embrace, her skin pale like a pool of milk as it emitted a sweet, milky scent. It was an enticing sight.However, the sight of her shivering body made Cedrick feel like a pail of icy water was dropped on his head. He raised his brow and looked away in acceptance.Catelyn was clearly reluctant.What drove her into doing what she did when she obviously hated it, then? What was her intention?Catelyn's clothes were already crumpled when she noticed that Cedrick had stopped, but she could not figure out why he did."Aren't you going to do it?""Not interested.""Sorry. It's my first time doing it while conscious, and I'm just a little nervous." Catelyn acted casual as she licked her lips nonchalantly and added, "You didn't have to stop for me, really."Cedrick slowly regained his composure and calmed his beating heart before he slowly got up from the sofa.A couple of his buttons had burst off earlier,
