    “Your mother is a nightmare when she’s angry,” Joanne mumbled, then leaned back against the couch.


    “Tell me,” she spoke as she smiled at Miles, “what did you do to make your mother this angry?”


    Miles immediately tried to appear as pathetic as possible. “Mommy brought Big Demon into


    the room to make babies with him. No one will love me from now on…”


    “Goodness, what are you even talking about? I’ll always love and care for you, Miles!”


    “Really?” Miles stopped fake-sobbing and stared at Joanne unblinkingly with his innocent,rge eyes. He


    did not y the victim card all that often, but when he did, the way he looked at people with doe-like eyes


    could melt hearts.


    Joanne’s heart softened at the sight and nodded. “Of course. No one can bully Miles! Still, you have to


    tell me what you did.”


    Miles hesitated for a moment before, finally, he came clean.


    Joanne gulped audibly at his exnation with resignation. “You’re too much! It’s no wonder your mother


    got so angry. That guy is going to think that Catelyn was the one who drew on his face!”


    “Godmother, I didn’t do it on purpose.” Miles batted his eyshes, and Joanne admitted defeat.


    Cedrick felt slightly better after taking the medicine Catelyn gave him, yet he still felt dazed.


    By the time he drove back to Mason Estate, it was already past twelve.


    The lights on both sides of the road that led to Mason Estate were always on, shining brightly as though


    they were awaiting the return of their master. Upon arrival, Cedrick handed the hand over to his servant


    to help drive it back to the garage.

    Albert overheard the sound of the car engine and ordered the servants to bring the reheated soup out,


    but when he saw Cedrick, he could not help but stumble, almost spilling the soup in his hands.


    Cedrick removed his jacket and the servant took it respectfully. The servant, too, was trembling as he


    suppressed hisughter while looking at Cedrick’s face. The smile on the servant’s face was only for a


    brief moment before his usual serious expression returned.


    Cedrick had always been superior with countless people fawning over him. Naturally, he would not


    expect someone would be bold enough to draw on his face.


    The temperature of the soup was just right, and Cedrick took his seat before the dining table elegantly.


    Albert’s heart throbbed anxiously as he thought to himself, ‘Who’d dare y such a prank on Master


    Cedrick? Master Cedrick has always been sharp, so it’s not like him to not notice anything after being


    made to look like that. Was it…Miss rk?’


    “Master Cedrick, did you go to visit Miss rk this evening?” Albert probed gingerly.


    Cedrick took a sip of soup. He could still smell the citrus scent of Catelyn’s lipstick somehow. He lifted an


    eyebrowzily. “We ran into each other. Why?”


    Albert realized that it was indeed Catelyn who drew on Cedrick’s face. ‘It’s no wonder that Master


    Cedrick didn’t bother to wipe it off! It’s just… Since when has romance between younger people be


    so odd?’ he thought “No-nothing,” Albert responded with his usual smile as he felt d. “I’m just amazed


    by how loving your rtionship with Miss rk is.” Cedrick set the ceramic bowl down and wiped the


    corner of his mouth. “She’s clingy, so I have topromise.” Cedrick’s tone sounded defeated, but his


    expression was smug, and the sight made Albert reel in shock. He had never seen Cedrick behave in


    such a way, like a man that was deeply in love.
