Our Billion-Worth Twins Chapter 95
"Just picked your son up from school, Catelyn?""My, your son is so cute! I have some vegetables here that are fresh out of the farm. You want some?"The old man at the butcher shop across from them saw Catelyn and Ollie and called out to them as usual, "Miles, come to Grandpa Santos. I'll chop some meat for you!"Ollie hesitated and contemplated whether he should go to the man.Catelyn finished buying the vegetables she needed and brought Miles to the butcher shop with a smile. "Grandpa Santos, give me the usual ribs.""Sure thing." The old man chopped up a piece of ribs and placed it on the electronic scale to weigh it, before making a face in Ollie's direction. It was apparent that the old man was close with Miles."Oh? Why isn't Miles smiling at Grandpa Santos today?"Whenever he made faces at Miles, the boy would often pretend to be an adult and shake his head proudly. Today, however, the boy was only looking back at him quietly.Ollie pursed his lips and greeted sweetly,

Catelyn sniffled as she tried to suppress the sorrow she felt.Ollie was just a child that was barely four-year-old after all, so he would not press on a topic that he knew would upset Catelyn. With that, he tried whatever he could to cheer Catelyn up and talked about the things that happened at school, such as what the teacher taught them, what he did, and how many red flowers he had gotten.Catelyn's attention was diverted, but the despair she felt lingered, all while she wondered if her baby would have survived had she been more careful.…At noon, the Mexicaean meat stew came fresh out of the stove.Both Stella and Catelyn were excited, but Ollie could not help but feel troubled.He could not stomach spicy food. Just a little bit from last time had him suffering through hell, and the dinner right in front of him at the moment was clearly even spicier. He could only scowl at the food."Miles, why aren't you eating?" Catelyn filled his plate with a spoonful of stew.Ollie sum

Catelyn described Ollie's symptoms to the doctor and added, "it's my fault, doctor. I shouldn't have fed him spicy food. Does he have gastroenteritis?""Don't panic, Ma'am. A child's stomach isn't fully developed, so they're prone to vomiting, diarrhea, stomachache, and infection. These are normal, nonetheless. I've prescribed him some medicine, so just head downstairs to make the payment."Ollie, lying on the bed, watched how worried Catelyn was, and the smile on his lips froze with guilt.His guilt soon turned into bitterness.'It's so nice to have a mother who loves me, to feel worried when I get sick like Aunty Catelyn does,' he thought, 'but I…don't have a mother.'Every time he fell sick, his father would merely stand at a distance and let the doctor and Alfred take care of him. Although Maia would visit sometimes, she did not adore children as much as she tried to appear. When his father was around, Maia was an elegant, high-born lady, but whenever Cedrick was not around, M

"It's fine. I can do this myself."Catelyn had been taking care of her son on her own all this while, and she had grown used to it.Cedrick reached his long fingers and snatched the receipts from her hands before whispering in a seductively low voice, "I don't think this is an appropriate time for you to try and be the hero here. Every second's delay is another second your son is suffering."Catelyn gritted her teeth, unable to argue.Cedrick was right. This was not the time to try and distance herself from him.Cedrick dragged Catelyn and walked upstairs. When he glanced through the medications stated on the receipts, he lifted his brow once again.He himself had a weak stomach, so it was natural that he was familiar with medication for stomach pain, and the medicines he saw on the bill…"What's wrong with your son?"Catelyn followed closely behind him. The floor 'Miles' was on was not that high, so instead of taking the elevator, the two climbed up the stairs instead."He ha

Catelyn could not seem to reach the bottom of Cedrick's eyes or see through him.She let go of him in disappointment and realized that he had no reason to help her. Perhaps he was only trying to be polite by offering to come with her.However, the moment she let go, Cedrick suddenly grabbed her hand, and his rough hand brushed past her palm. After that, he turned and entered the men's room, disappearing before Catelyn's eyes.Catelyn suddenly felt like the palm he had touched felt extremely hot.Cedrick walked into the washroom and, as expected, saw a few men standing in front of the urinals. His brows twitched in response, and he was glad he had stopped Catelyn from running in.He then turned to stare at the individual toilets.There was a big gap between the doors and the floor, and he would be able to see the shoes and the hems of the trousers that the person inside was wearing. It was obvious that there were adults before the first few doors, except for the last one.Behind

Beep!Just then, Cedrick's action was stopped by the sound of his phone beeping.When he saw the display on the screen, he scowled.…Catelyn waited in front of the men's toilet, but Cedrick had yet to come out with her son yet.She paced back and forth in the corridor anxiously when suddenly, she saw men exiting the bathroom, one after another. A few seconds later, Cedrick appeared before her as well.Cedrick took the maintenance board and placed it before the men's room. "Miles is in there, but he won't come out. Maybe his stomach is upset, but he's scared of seeing the doctor. I've cleared the bathroom out, so you can go in and wait," he said with a scowl.Catelyn sighed a breath of relief and looked at Cedrick with gratitude. "Thank you, but what are you—""My son fell off the stairs, so I need to head back right now," Cedrick explained swiftly and left without hesitation.She was stunned for a moment and began worrying when she imagined Ollie falling off the stairs. She w

Since Cedrick was not home, Albert—being the family butler—was worried that the young master would accidentally fall and hurt himself.Thinking of this, he raised his hand and pushed open the door to the study. Inside, Miles was reading a book by the desk, his expression seemingly solemn and concentrated.This place had many of the books he had always wanted to read but could never afford. Miles was so immersed in his reading that the sound of the door pushed open startled him instantly.He raised his gaze."Grandpa Albert, you scared me," said Miles, his widely opened mouth slowly flattened as he saw the butler."Goodness, my boy! Oh, you're alright!"Master Cedrick mentioned that you broke your leg, and you don't know how that frightened me!" said Albert as he carefully scanned 'Ollie' from head to toe.Upon confirming the boy was fine, relief washed over him.The moment Albert wanted to report this to Cedrick, however, he realized that the communication line had been cut off

Personality changes could be attributed to the child's change in mentally. A change in taste, however…Cedrick had always felt something was wrong, but he just could not pinpoint the problem.Edwin pondered for a while after listening to him and rubbed his chin solemnly with one hand. "Do you suppose he started eating spicy food because Catelyn also enjoys them?"Cedrick did not answer him.Edwin gave his most rational analysis as he added, "I'm not joking with you. Studies have shown that after living with a certain person for a long time, the habits and tastes of two people will gradually resemble one another. Since Ollie is so dependent and likes Catelyn so much, maybe he's trying to find ways to get closer to her?"Cedrick lowered his gaze. "Is there anything wrong with Maia?"What was it about Catelyn that attracted him?"There are many different kinds of beautiful flowers in the world, but you only love roses. It's not necessarily that other flowers aren't pretty enough, b
