It was just an excuse, and she thought Cedrick would not agree to it. However, he only looked at them with an incomprehensible expression and turned away. …Catelyn started baking after coming back from the mall.Miles cleaned his hands and put on a cute little apron for a toddler. He then stood on a stool, had his sleeves rolled up, and started kneading the dough with Catelyn. He did not have much strength, but his movements were on point. His hands waddled in the big mixing bowl and occasionally stroked the back of Catelyn's hand with his hand that was covered in flour.Catelyn and Miles were spending quality time in the kitchen together.Even though Cedrick was reading the newspaper in the living room, he was attentive to whatever happened in the kitchen. Ollie was so happy, like they were actual mother and son. Finally, it was the crucial step of the kneading. Catelyn was kneading the dough alone, trying to press out all of the air bubbles in the dough.Miles stood qui
Cedrick was speechless."Don't get together with Big Demon. I want to marry you when I grow up!"Cedrick shot a piercing stare at Miles, then said, "Albert, please bring Ollie to class now.""My body is so itchy… Mummy, mummy, can you please scratch for me."Catelyn's heart almost stopped when she heard the word 'mummy'. Her eyes widened in disbelief. Cedrick passed it off as Ollie's wish for Catelyn to be his mother and only frowned slightly. Albert looked at the funny actions of his young master, failing to hide his smile. "Master Cedrick, since Miss Clark is here, and Young Master Ollie is so fond of her. Perhaps… We can take a break from the lesson today and only continue tomorrow?""Why don't you take a break from your meals today and only continue eating tomorrow?"Poot poot poot!Suddenly, three fart sounds broke the silence.It was immediately followed by a pungent smell.Cedrick was the first to smell it because of the place he was standing. Miles deliberately aim
What really happened four years ago?Why did Cedrick take her baby away? How would he respond if he knew that she was Ollie's mother?Knock knock.Someone knocked on the shower screen. "Who's there?" Catelyn yelled in reflex."It's me," Cedrick's deep deductive voice said."One minute!"Catelyn wiped the bubbles off her and put on her new pajamas. She did not have her special drying hat, so she could only wipe her hair dry with the towel. Her half-wet wet hair then drooped over her shoulders.Cedrick leaned against the wall lazily outside the door with one of his legs bent, and he was pinching a cigarette in his fingers. His other hand was playing with the lighter and was about to light his cigarette. He turned and looked when he heard the door open.She stuck her head out of the shower screen, carefully checking.Cedrick took one long look at her, then walked to the tea table and put out his cigarette in the ashtray.He then went to the bar to fill up a glass of water.He
Cedrick blinked.Was she throwing a tantrum?Right when she turned her back against him, he grabbed her and hugged her tight in his arms. "Call my name." Cedrick looked at her stubbornly, refusing to let her go.Catelyn was not concerned at all. After all, she was on her period."...This is too fast for me. I can't call you that."He deliberately misunderstood her meaning and said, using his husky voice, pretending to be confused, "It was you who wanted us to go fast. Now you are complaining about me being too fast? Call my name.""You…"Catelyn's body tensed up. She was half a head shorter than him. She looked up, her lips opened slightly, and bit right onto his chin. Like a little beast, she dug her teeth deep into his skin and said under her breath, "Let me go, you gangster…"The supposed pain only felt like scratches to Cedrick.However, he released her obediently……Catelyn declined Cedrick's offer to blow her hair dry and went into the bathroom alone with the hairdry
Time ticked by slowly. Catelyn was still lying sideways, with her shoulder almost numb. She finally could not resist it anymore and whispered, "Could you move your hand away, please?"There was no response.He was likely asleep.Catelyn's eyes lit up a little, and she asked again tentatively, "Cedrick?"Only silence answered her.Catelyn was relieved that he was finally asleep.She inched away carefully from his arms like a snail. She tried to pry away his hand with small and light actions, trying not to wake him up. She was panting from all the work.After a full two-minute, she finally escaped from his arms and immediately rolled to the right side of the bed.She wished she could be invisible so as not to catch his attention.Unexpectedly, just when she thought she had gotten away safely, another claw reached out to scooch her in again. "Hyperactivity?" His teasing voice sounded, "How could I sleep if you keep on moving around?"Catelyn blushed. She was flustered!He was
"Catelyn?""Yes."The other line went silent for a brief moment.Then, Janice spoke again, "Where are you guys?"Not sure why, even though Janice had tried to reject her numerous times, Catelyn just could not bring herself to dislike her. On the contrary, she somehow found her familiar and loveable. "We are at Mason Estate. Let me get Cedrick to return your call if you have any urgent matters.""Do you know the Mason Estate is where the future Missus Mason will stay?" Janice asked her patiently. Her tone was still calm as ever. However, her underlying meaning was shocking, like a silent bomb!Catelyn stopped breathing. Her heart skipped a beat.Mason Estate is where Missus Mason stays?No wonder when she requested to visit Mason Estate, Cedrick was stunned.Was he under the impression that she was desperate to make things official?"I'm sorry, I did not mean that. I was just…"Janice's temples were pulsing. "No wonder what your intention was. It proves how much he values
The pants were in a similar shade of blue.It was minimalistic but classy."Here, try this. This is something different from what you usually wear. I suppose it will make you look younger."Cedrick's eyes scanned the suit and snickered lightly.Makes him look younger?Did he look old in the first place?He was only a few years older than Jamie!…Nine in the morning, on the hilltop near the mansion, a black Mercedis drove down the road and headed to the humongous premises.Unlike the modern design, the mansion retained the vintage architecture from the last century, something like the Bauhaus house architecture. The building was squarish, and there were guards on shifts at the entrance. Right above the entrance was a gold plate spelling out Mason Chateau. One of the four grandest families in Sapphire City, the chateau stood firm on its solid ground, having braved through decades of glory and history.The butler had long been waiting at the front door. He was a sixty-year-ol
It must be the shameless couple who bullied their daughter!Of course, she had to seek justice for Maia!Grandpa Mason was already over eighty years old, but he was still rather healthy. His face was wrinkled, but he was not weak. There was also no stubble on his face. He held a walking stick in his hand and rarely smiled. He was the most respected person in the Mason family.When Cedrick came in, Grandpa Mason's gaze fixated on him. His face was grim. Cedrick walked in casually and smiled lightly. "Grandpa.""Grandpa?" Draco Mason stomped his walking stick on the ground in anger. "Do you still have any respect left for your grandpa?"Cedrick was not shaken by his grandpa's attitude at all but merely glanced over at Mister and Missus Clark."Mister and Missus Clark, nice to see you today.""Hmph, I am not exactly delighted to be here. We have never been more humiliated." Missus Clark was not pleased. She lifted her tea cup and took a sip, and her gaze lingered on Cedrick throu
