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
The guards stepped toward Albert. Every one of them was tall and muscular, dressed in security uniform with a red banner on their arm and walkie-talkies hanging on their waist.With a stern expression, one of them said, "For kidnappers, you sure are brave for daring to come here to the hospital. Tie them up!"Stunned, Albert looked at them in disbelief. "K—Kidnappers?!""Yeah," the nurse snorted in contempt. "Luckily, that boy you brought in was smart enough to fake being sick so that he could ask for help in the hospital. Otherwise, you would've gotten what you wanted! Security, don't waste time talking to them. Send these scumbags to the police station!"The bodyguards behind Albert felt defeated. "What do you mean, we kidnapped a boy?" they argued exasperatedly. "That's our young master!"'Young Master? Crap!' Albert's eyes widened as he then ran past the guards and the nurse before darting into the children's ward.The doctor was writing a medical report when someone stormed
There were a few moments of silence as the two boys glared at one another. Finally, Miles was the one to break the silence with a confronting tone, "Who are you? Why are you in my house?""It's you?" Ollie's hand was still on the doorknob. His heart throbbed anxiously, but he soon relaxed when he noticed that no one else was at home. He stepped onto the porch and slowly took off his shoes before taking out another pair of adorable slippers from the shoe cabinet to change into.Miles stared daggers at Ollie. Not only did this boy sleep in his house and answered his calls, but he was also wearing his shoes?"You! Get out!" Miles puffed his cheeks and pointed angrily at the door. His crystal-clear eyes were filled with rage that exploded like a volcanic eruption.This was the boy who took his place with his mother the night before!"I suppose you don't know who I am just yet," muttered Ollie. He paused and ignored Miles' furious reaction to set his school bag aside before extending h
In the arms of the bodyguard, Ollie spotted Catelyn from the corner of his eyes as she stood quietly next to Cedrick. She looked beautiful as she ever did.His often expressionless face lit up in excitement. He opened his mouth and struggled to jump out of the bodyguard's arms as though he was about to shout, but the moment his hand landed on the collar of the bodyguard's suit, he stopped.Ollie could not run to Catelyn. If she recognized him, she would realize that he had been lying to her.Within a blink of an eye, the bodyguard stepped out of the shadow under the tree and into the light with Ollie in his arms.Ollie appeared to be frightened as he leaned into the bodyguard's chest obediently with his face buried; he did not lift his head the entire time to avoid anyone seeing his face.Despite that, Catelyn still felt like he resembled her son.Before she could say anything, the man beside her confronted the child coldly, "And what fueled you with the tenacity to lie to the do
