Chapter 284


    Chapter 284 Cedrick’s sharp gaze scanned everything around the apartment carefully, from the coffee


    table and cups to theundry hanging by the balcony.


    Everything looked normal.


    Other than some feminine products, all he saw were children’s clothes and toys. There was no sign of


    another man living in this space.


    If that was it, why did she refuse to let him visit?


    He did not buy Catelyn’s excuse of the apartment being ‘too messy’. He remembered that the other day


    aftering back from the amusement park, he had already sent her to her doorstep, but she insisted


    that he took a detour to the hotel. She was avoiding him…or, perhaps, was instead hiding something


    from him. Catelyn was thinking about how to answer when all of a sudden, her phone buzzed. She slid


    her finger across the screen to answer the call. It was Joanne. She knew that Catelyn was busy, so she


    took Miles out for a walk. The bags and clothes on the couch were all brand new, mostly still with their


    tags on. They were all gifted by the sponsors, and she left them for Catelyn when she went to fetch Miles


    earlier. Catelyn was just so grateful for Joanne that she did not know how to thank her enough; be it for


    the clothes or for taking out Miles. “You have fun with Miles! I’ll pick him up in a few days,” said Catelyn


    into the phone, deliberately raising her voice to make sure Cedrick had heard her. Joanne, on the other


    end of the line, was confused.


    ‘In a few days’? There was only a wall between them, no?


    However, Catelyn hung up before she could reply, shrugging. She then said to Cedrick, “Miles’


    godmother had taken him out to y, so it looks like you can only meet him next time! You can leave


    your present here, and I’ll tell him that you bought it for him when he gets back.” “Someone took your kid


    out, but you didn’t know about it beforehand?” Cedrick frowned slightly. Something did not add up to him.


    He looked into the apartment again. The room was very clean and tidy, except that he noticed that there


    was not one photo of Miles at all.


    There were, however, a few photos of Catelyn with Ste.


    Catelyn did not want to continue this conversation with him anymore. As long as Miles was not home,


    she did not care what Cedrick was thinking.


    “Miles’ godmother has the key to my apartment. I usually don’t interfere.”


    Then, Catelyn took her groceries into the kitchen, not wanting to talk about Miles anymore.


    Cedrick sat in the living room quietly for a short while and then tiptoed to Catelyn’s room.


    He could not find one photo of Catelyn with Miles together at all, even in her room!


    Cedrick’s frown deepened into his forehead.

    This was strange.


    Catelyn’s room was minimalistic with only a bed and a dresser. Opposite the bed was a working desk,


    and on top of it was a studymp, a stack of documents, and papers. What stood out more was the draft


    design of Bubsville Vi and a few of her drafts for the jewelry designpetition. Maybe she did not


    reckon that there would be anyoneing to her room, so her drafts were all left on the table.


    Cedrick took a brief look at them.


    He gasped in shock.


    Ding, dong!


    Catelyn was still preparing dinner in the kitchen when she heard the doorbell.


    Assuming it was Ste, she went to open the door, only to be shocked by the sight that greeted


    her.


    “Hey, Cat! Did you miss me?” Joanne was grinning from ear to ear while waving enthusiastically at her.


    Next to her was a single 61-centimeter luggage.
