Chapter 229


    Chapter 229 Maybe because it was the weekend, the mall was crowded and noisy in the afternoon.


    Cedrick parked at the entrance and frowned slightly as he observed the crowd hustling around. Miles


    pushed the car door open, hopped onto the ground, and carefully led Catelyn out of the car.


    Cedrick watched him scornfully.


    Why hasn’t he realized that he was such a tterer before this? Catelyn saw that Cedrick had no


    intentions of getting out of the car and shopping with them. Perhaps it was because he was unhappy with


    the previous incident where they got photographed together by the paparazzi at the convenience store.


    She then said, “There are too many people at the mall. Just wait for us here. We will be right back.”


    Cedrick’s frown remained, and he said nothing. The mother-son duo had not been to the mall together in


    a very long time.


    The boy dragged Catelyn into the mall. He could finally have some alone time with Catelyn without


    Cedrick. He was happily chattering away, and his tiny face was adorably naive.


    Catelyn pushed the cart in one hand and stopped by the dairy section. “You pick out a box of cream


    cheese here. I will be right back after getting a bag of flour.” “I promise to aplish the mission!” Miles


    raised his right hand high and bowed to Catelyn dramatically.


    Catelyn giggled in amusement.


    The mall was a sophisticated mall with a grandyout near the high-end residential area. The goods


    were also mostly imported premium ones. Catelyn took a two-kilogram bag of flour and tossed it in the


    cart, about to make her way back to Miles. Suddenly there was a furry husky scurrying through the gap


    between her feet.


    The husky dashed around recklessly, pushing Catelyn’s cart two feet away from her.


    “Woof!”


    Catelyn was worried that her cart would crash into someone and hurried to catch her cart. “Bailey.” A pair


    of high heels clicked against the hard floor, followed by a woman’s voice calling the dog’s name.

    The husky heard themand, turned around, and ran back to its owner.


    Catelyn held the cart in one hand and then looked to the source of the voice. The woman wore a dress,


    and a silk scarf was on her shoulders. She walked down the aisle with disdain on her face.


    It was Maia.


    Maia stopped before the husky and rubbed its fluffy head.


    “Good boy, good job.”


    Catelyn saw Maia, but she was not too interested in entertaining her. She wanted to walk past Maia, but


    Maia, holding the dog leash, blocked her way by reaching her hand out.


    “Catelyn, you must be delighted, aren’t you? You are now high and mighty and get people to help you to


    buy tampons in the middle of the night. I have never met someone as shameless as you! Not only did


    you snatch someone else’s fiance, but you are so upfront about it as if you were right all along. Where is


    your self-respect?” Maia was squinting her eyes. Her expressions and words were full of loathing.


    Catelyn took a brief nce at the fierce husky. “Ah, I see what it means by a pet’s behavior is a reflection


    of its owner’s.”


    Maia stared at her aggressively. If the mall were not as crowded as it was, she would have pped


    Catelyn across the face. “Well, you can’t even bepared to my dog! At least it knows who is in


    charge! You carry my family’s surname while enjoying my family’s reputation but snatched my fiance!”


    Catelyn looked at Maia’s ferocious expressions and smiled lightly.


    “When my father dered bankruptcy, the ones whoughed the loudest were apparently the rks.


    Miss rk, you pretend to be sweet and empathetic in front of Miss Coleman. Did she know that you are


    in fact such a cunning and aggressive person?” Her tone was monotonous and emotionless, as if talking


    about the weather, which made what she said even more infuriating!
