Chapter 256


    Chapter 256 Ste had spotted Catelyn wrapped in a nket, sitting on the passenger seat of a


    luxurious ck car. Her eyes twinkled in anticipation as she strode toward them, gently running her


    fingers across the car’s sleek side. “Mom?” Catelyn’s eyelids twitched upon seeing her mother as she


    tightened her grip on the nket instinctively. Ste peeled her eyes away from the car unwillingly and


    turned toward Catelyn, whose face seemed deathly pale. “Goodness!” she gasped. “Why do you look so


    pale?”


    “I have a cold, and Mister Mason here sent me back” Catelyn thought for a moment before deciding to


    get out of the car as she pulled on the handle. Ste caught her arms as she observed the man behind


    the wheels.


    That was the first time Cedrick had seen Ste.


    He got out of the car and nodded politely at her. “Good evening, Missus rk” Ste gulped in a thirstful


    manner and smiled brightly as she reached her hands out to him passionately. “Mister Mason? You’re


    the owner of the mansion that Catelyn hand designed, yes? What an honor! Catelyn had said a lot of


    good things about you.”


    “It’s my pleasure.” Cedrick responded politely and shook her hand before adding, “Catelyn has been


    feeling unwell, so please take care of her from here.” “Of course!” Ste smiled so brightly her eyes had


    turned into lines. “Why don’t youe in and have a cup of tea, Mister Mason? Look at you; you’re all


    drenched as well…” Before Cedrick could say anything, Catelyn retorted like a cat that had its tail pulled,


    “Mom, Master Cedrick is busy with work. It’s toote for him toe in, anyway.” “How is it toote? He


    took his time out to send you home, so we should at least invite him in for a cup of tea! On top of that, it’s


    not like I’m asking you to be alone with him in the house. Both Miles and I will be there, too.”


    Catelyn was speechless. Miles being there was exactly the reason why Cedrick could not be invited into


    the house! Cedrick’s eyes squinted sharply. It puzzled him why Catelyn was so against him going into the


    house.


    That intrigued him even more.


    “If you insist, Missus rk.” ‘What happened to the cold, unfriendly Cedrick Mason?’ thought Catelyn.


    Panicking, she took out her phone and texted Miles immediately, asking him to take cover in the


    neighbor’s house next door.


    Catelyn had always been friendly with her next door neighbor, so it should not be a problem for Miles to


    hide in there for a short while.


    However, there was no reply from Miles. Catelyn wondered if he even saw the message. It was getting


    late, so he could be sleeping already.


    When they finally arrived by the door, Ste took the keys out and opened the door. They were


    immediately greeted by the flowery scent of gardenias. Catelyn had Cedrick wait in the living room and


    had Ste take care of him. With the excuse of changing her clothes, she quickly sneaked into the


    master’s bedroom. Ste was more than happy to tend to Cedrick, of course. After all, Cedrick was like a


    pot of gold for her!


    Catelyn, on the other hand, thought of nothing else but Miles at that moment.


    Did Miles see the text and sneaked out to the neighbor’s house, or had he fallen asleep without seeing


    the text? Catelyn had to know, and fast. The moment she pushed open the door, she was greeted by a


    small lump on the bed.


    It was obvious to her that Miles had not seen the text!


    “Mommy, you’re home!” Miles rubbed his tired eyes upon hearing the door open. He was exhausted from


    a whole day’s trip and was sound asleep before being woken up.Content bel0ngs to N?vel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
