Chapter 226


    Chapter 226 Catelyn subconsciously turned to look at Cedrick. He had spoken to his son about…making


    her his son’s stepmother?


    Cedrick’s eyebrows pulsed frantically for a while. He watched as Catelyn’s expression looked too


    complex toprehend. He did not exin anything but went straight to the living room.


    There was a leather sofa in the living room, ced in an L shape.


    Catelyn and Miles sat on the horizontal end of it, while Cedrick settled on the vertical end. He sat and


    crossed his legs elegantly and said to Miles, “Your grandmother missed you and has sent people to ry


    the message a few times. Pack your stuff; I’ll send you over in a bit.” Janice was Ollie’s grandaunt, to be


    exact, but she had no descendants. Ollie had always addressed her as ‘granny’. Miles, however, had no


    clue who Janice and this granny’ were.


    He had never met Janice before, after all. “I will go after Aunt Catelyn leaves.” Miles looked toward


    Cedrick apprehensively. It was a baby beast’s instinct to protect its mother, and he did not like the way


    Big Demon looked at his mother like prey.


    “I was merely informing you, not discussing it with you.”


    Cedrick was cold and unapproachable as ever.


    Catelyn finally had an opportunity to spend some time with Miles, and she was reluctant to let Miles


    leave, too. She subconsciously hugged Miles tighter and looked to Cedrick as if pleading with her eyes.”


    Can we wait a while more?”


    Seeing both his son and Catelyn in the same stance made Cedrick feel rather…strange. It was not


    frustration, nor was it fluster. It felt…ufortable, in a way. He was sitting just nearby, and she was his


    girlfriend. She asked him to show her around the house, but ever since she came to the Mason Estate,


    she did not seem to care much about him. As for his son, it was almost the same case, as though the


    world was left with only the two of them.


    He felt like an outsider.


    Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.


    Cedrick cursed to himself. He could not believe that he was having such childish thoughts!


    Catelyn noticed that Cedrick fell silent, and his face was grim. It was obvious he was not listening to her.


    She said softly to Miles, “I’m a little thirsty, and there’s no more water in the jug. Could you help me get


    some from the kitchen?”


    Miles knew that Catelyn was just making an excuse for him to leave.


    He was initially unwilling to leave Catelyn alone with Cedrick, but he knew that there would be a few days


    in a month that Catelyn would be physically weaker and paler. He figured that this had to be one of those


    days. He threw a side nce at Cedrick defensively, then disappeared into the kitchen. What an


    adorable boy. Catelyn wanted to cherish every second she had with him. Catelyn took a deep breath and


    sat closer to Cedrick, now just a few inches from him. She reached her hand out and grabbed the hem of


    his shirt, gently saying, “I really love Ollie. Could you give me more time to spend with him, please?”


    Catelyn did not dare annoy him anymore. After all, if she wanted to see her son, she needed his


    approval, or she would not be able to even step foot into Mason Estate.


    She would keep him happy if she needed to. Cedrick turned to look at her and locked eyes with her


    bright ones. Her eyes were shimmering, silently pleading Every word of hers pierced right through his


    heart. He felt his heart itching, as though someone was scratching it. “What can I get if I allocate more of


    his time to you?”
