"Actually, I…" Ollie hesitantly attempted to explain."Miles, where did you get those clothes you are wearing?" Catelyn asked abruptly, interjecting him.Ollie's eyes widened, and he felt his heart drop to his stomach when he realized she was suspecting the clothes he was wearing.Catelyn circled to the boy's back and flipped his collar outward, only to find the Banpoint label. It was a french children-wear luxury brand that emphasized on both modesty and glamor.Ollie cursed inwardly when Catelyn slowly bent down and asked, "Did Jamie Mason buy this for you?""Jamie Mason?" He thought, 'That's probably the man I saw Catelyn arguing with.'"Yeah, that's him," he said."That's weird. He was just scolding you earlier, so why would he buy you clothes now?" Catelyn was confused as to how it could happen within the short period she went to retrieve the model.Ollie's eyes darted away. "I…don't know what he's thinking as well.""Whatever. At least he's willing to fulfill some respon
"You were having dinner with Miss Clark, and we couldn't be too far away from you, so we didn't send anyone after Young Master. Of course, I've contacted Albert to bring him home."Cedrick looked up to find Eason's mouth twitching as though stifling his laughter. "Are you laughing at me?" asked Cedrick."No, I—""Your bonus for this month will be reduced by half."The amusement on Eason's face faded and was replaced by devastation. "Master Cedrick…""Keep talking and you'll lose all of it." Cedrick stared at him, leaving no room for questioning."…" Eason realized how easily an employee would suffer when their boss was this hard to please.Soon, their car arrived at Mason Estate as well.The lights in Mason Estate shone brightly during the night, making it appear as though it was still daytime.Under the moon, the sparkling lights on the trees made a perfect contrast that formed a unique scene.When Albert heard the sound of the car's engine turned off from the garage, he sto
Though Miles had countless thoughts of doubt, as a child, he immediately turned his attention to the thought of how worried his mother would be after he had been gone for so long.Shaking away the thoughts that swarmed his mind, he ran toward the door and banged on it furiously, causing the door to squeak as he yelled, "Open the door, let me out! I knew you guys are terrible people!"Come and fight me, you big demon! What kind of man are you to lock me up like this?!"Mommy…I—I miss you…"On the other side of the door, Albert choked on the words he meant to say to calm the boy.'It seems that the young master misses his mother again. This certainly explains his behavior today, but…it's unfortunate that the identity of his mother was an unresolved mystery here in Mason Estate,' he solemnly thought to himself.…In Ocean Path Residence, on the fifth floor of the building, the family gathered around the table with only a few casual dishes.Ollie looked at the dishes and noticed ho
Tears welled up in Miles's beautiful, dark eyes. He pursed his lips as despair filled his innocent-looking face.Had Catelyn truly abandoned him? She even stopped answering the calls…At that moment, he looked around the house he was in. It was a cage with guards, everything felt cold, and he was suddenly overwhelmed by fear.He desperately wanted to see Catelyn again and was far from wanting to remain cooped up in his place. He had to get out.He sniffled and quickly wiped away his tears.Crying was for the weak, and he had to be strong enough to protect his mother.…Catelyn had prepared breakfast and called Ollie out for the meal.The boy did so with composure, and no one could tell that he was not Miles at all. Catelyn did not think much of it and simply sent him off to the kindergarten like usual. Before leaving, she even gave him a peck, to which the boy blushed shyly.…The moment she arrived at BrightGene, she could distinctly sense that everyone was staring at her od
Catelyn's hair was dark and pure like a stream in the mountains, which complimented her fair skin.Cedrick could not help but feel drawn to her, but he then recalled the way Ollie had been behaving lately without a trace of his previous obedience and composure. Cedrick's eyes darkened once again."She's just a scheming woman. What's so great about her?"Eason scratched his head and cleared his throat awkwardly before responding, "I heard from Albert that Young Master has been mentioning his mother quite often lately. Maybe he doesn't really care about Miss Clark, but he just doesn't like the fact that you're getting closer to Miss Maia and is worried that she'd take his mother's place. Maybe he's just using Miss Clark as an excuse to protest."Cedrick clenched his jaw and fumed, "So this woman is just a random excuse he is using to rebel against me?""Who knows what kids really think?"The traffic light turned green, and Eason moved his right foot toward the accelerator. Just as
With Catelyn finally removing herself from him, Cedrick stood…with blood oozing down his right arm, soaking his white shirt red.Catelyn gasped in fright at the sight of the bright red liquid from Cedrick's wound. "Are you injured?!" She moved to help him. "I'm sorry, it's all because you helped me! I'll send you to the hospital right away, and I'll take full responsibility—"Cedrick, however, evaded Catelyn's hand. He felt oddly irked as though a fire was burning within him that he could not put out no matter how hot it burnt.He must have been crazy to save this woman.Ignoring Catelyn, he walked back to the Bagatti Veiron parked by the road, where Eason had been waiting by the car door.Knowing that he had gotten the wrong idea, Eason dared not speak.With a dark expression, Cedrick was about to get into the car when he realized that no one was behind him. He turned to look back and noticed Catelyn lowering her head to inspect if her phone was broken."Catelyn Clark!" He glar
Lola's pupils contracted the moment she saw the handsome profile of Cedrick.'Oh, how handsome!' she fawned internally. He looked somewhat like Jamie, but whatever Jamie lacked, he had. His features were more defined, and his forehead was fuller, which made his eyes stand out even more.Louella, too, was stunned."Miss Clark, what a coincidence." Lola was the first to snap out of it and spoke with a smile, "About that illegitimate child of yours with my brother-in-law, what do you plan to do?""Brother-in-law?" Catelyn looked at the girl dressed in an elegant beige dress standing before her."This is my sister, Lola."Louella stepped forward and straightened her back subconsciously to maintain an elegant posture, reluctant to lose to Catelyn in any way.Lola's gaze traveled back and forth between Catelyn and Cedrick. She lifted an eyebrow and raised her voice, saying, "My sister is pregnant with Jamie's child now, and the existence of your son will only damage their relationship
Cedrick cocked an eyebrow. "I heard that you won't let the family doctor look at you?""I want to go to the hospital!" Miles rolled around, causing the sound reception on Cedrick's end to break off. "It's your family doctor. Keep it for yourself—""Young Master!" Albert stopped him.Miles broke out into sobs at that moment. His adorable face twisted as tears welled up in his crystal-clear eyes. "I feel so sick, and my body is so hot... Am I going to die?"Albert’s heart instantly softened. His eyes turned red out of concern as he gently coaxed him, "Of course not. It's just a cold and a fever, but some medicine and a good nap will be sufficient! Be a good boy, Young Master…"Albert then shifted his attention to the call as he pleaded, "Master Cedrick, Young Master really doesn't look great, and he's running a fever! He already knows that he's wrong and won't repeat his mistake, so please let him go to the hospital…"Cedrick remained silent for a moment before he tugged at his nec
