Chapter 95


    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,e to Grandpa Santos. I’ll chop some meat for you!”


    Ollie hesitated and contemted 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 ced 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, “Hello, Grandpa Santos.” “Your boy is growing more and more mature,” Grandpa Santos


    complimented and handed the packed ribs to Catelyn. “That’s thirty-two dors fifty cents, but just give


    me thirty. The little guy needs the nutrition. He’s born prematurely, so he needs to eat more to catch


    up…”


    “Absolutely not. You’re running a business here, and I can’t take advantage of you.” Catelyn took out the


    exact amount of money from her pocket and paid Santos 32.50 dors. Grandpa Santos did not refuse


    and made another face at Ollie, and Ollie forced out a smile in response.

    ‘Miles…likes weird things,’Ollie thought to himself. ‘But didn’t that old man mention that Miles was born


    prematurely? Hmm…so was I.’ Catelyn and Ollie stepped out of the market, and the air instantly felt


    lighter and fresher. Ollie offered to help carry the groceries, and Catelyn gave him one of the bags with


    vegetables that was considerably lighter. Still, considering how tiny Ollie was, he had to hold it with both


    his arms against his chest.


    “Mom, my ssmate Benny from kindergarten has a really cute younger brother who looks like him. I


    want an older or a younger brother so I can have someone to y with,” he said in an innocent tone.


    Catelyn’s slim, longshes quivered as sorrow took over her heart. She could not help but tighten her


    grip around Ollie’s hand as she muttered, “You did have an older brother before, Miles, but…he wasn’t


    so lucky like you were,” she exined, her voice faltering.


    “What happened?” Ollie solemnly asked.


    Catelyn thought back to when she fell off the steep stairs, to the time when blood seeped out of her body.


    “It’s in the past. I don’t really remember.”


    “Try to think harder…” Ollie pleaded. He desperately wanted to know why he and Miles looked so much


    alike, and he even wondered if he was rted to Catelyn somehow.


    Tears welled up in Catelyn’s eyes and her vision was blurred, but she swiftly turned around to wipe her


    tears away.


    The curious expression on Ollie’s face froze. He frantically tried to wipe Catelyn’s tears away with his


    sleeves and said, “Why are you crying, Mom? I’m sorry. I talked too much and made you cry. Don’t cry. I


    won’t ask about it again…” “It’s not your fault. I just remembered something sad from the past.”
