Two months later, in a hospital…"Congratulations." The doctor handed the ultrasound scan result to Catelyn. "You're eight weeks pregnant!"Catelyn paled as though she had been struck by lightning. Refusing to accept it, she asked, "Could there be a mistake, Doctor?""The sample of your urine shows that you are positive, and there couldn't possibly be a mistake," the doctor answered firmly. "Besides, your insomnia and postponed menstruation couldn't be faked, could they?"Catelyn's mind went blank, her hands shivering as she grabbed onto the scan result.She got pregnant, under the circumstances of her family's decline and the Mason family's withdrawal from the arranged marriage.It was from that time with Jamie two months ago… It was Jamie's child.The doctor seemed to be used to this sort of situation and reminded her kindly, "If you choose to do an abortion, I suggest that you do so as early as possible. Nonetheless, you're having twins, which rarely happens, so it's best to

"I want buffalo wings," commanded the boy in the Bens to his chauffeur.A troubled expression appeared on the chauffeur's face, as the order he received was to wait for Master Cedrick with the young master. "But Master Cedrick said he'll be here soon, Young Master. You—""Five minutes." The boy raised his arm and pointed at his watch. "If I don't see the buffalo wings, you'll go to Grandpa Albert to get your last salary."The expression on the man's face instantly transformed from troubled to fear. He knew that the young master never went back on his word."Stay here, Young Master, and don't go anywhere. I'll be back right away!" the chauffeur reminded him hastily before he carefully locked the door and rushed toward the nearest restaurant.What he did not realize was that the boy in the vehicle had unlocked the car with ease after he was gone, and stared intently at the mother and son who walked past him.His heart throbbed as though something was about to happen.The boy follo

The candy was stuck in Ollie's throat. Instantly, Ollie's face turned a bruising red as his eyes frantically roved around.Cedrick picked Ollie out of the bush and placed him back on the ground."Ahem!" Ollie coughed vigorously and opened his mouth to breathe, before finally swallowing the piece of candy.As soon as he looked up, he saw Cedrick's stern, cold expression. Ollie immediately put away any trace of childishness and lowered his head politely."Father."Cedrick rarely disciplined Ollie and felt more responsibility than love toward the child. He lifted an eyebrow and questioned coldly, "Do you know how much time and energy I've wasted looking around for you?"Ollie lowered his head further. "I'm sorry.""I didn't come looking to hear that you're sorry. Why did you sneak out?"Ollie bit his lip while facing the towering figure before him, but he remained silent."I'll take it that you simply did so for fun, but there won't be a next time.""…" Ollie kept quiet.Cedric

"I don't trust you," commented Cedrick, opening his thin lips while staring at her with his eagle-like eyes. He could still smell the faint scent of gardenias from her body, and he had to admit that he was drawn.The few words had Catelyn clenching her fists to the point that her knuckles were turning white."I get it, I'll withdraw from this project. Don't worry about it, Mister Mason." She forced herself to straighten up her back, knowing perfectly well that there was no point to argue. Cedrick was surprised that she agreed that quickly. "It's my son who chose you, and it's me who fired you. I trust that you know how to explain?"Ollie had already been distant, so he did not wish to create conflict with his son over such small matters.Catelyn did not look away and stared directly into his eyes. "I'll tell Young Master that I'm not feeling well and, therefore, will not be able to manage the project.""You may go now.""Alright." Catelyn turned to leave without hesitation, but

After a moment of awkward silence, Stella hurried over to hug Miles and attempted to convince him, saying, "Miles, think about it: If Mommy marries into a wealthy family, you'll be a high-born! Not only can you stay in a big house, but you'll have a lot of toys, too.""I'm not a three-year-old anymore. I don't need a big house nor a lot of toys." Miles wiggled his way out of Stella's arms before moving the chair across Catelyn, gesturing her to come with a flattering expression on his soft, round face. "Sit here, Big Kitty, I want a hug.""Tsk! This little troublemaker is so hard to impress. Don't forget that I'm the one who kept you company when it was thundering a few days ago when your mom was away on a business trip!" Stella pretended to be offended.Catelyn bent down to hold Miles and rubbed her cheek against his. Miles had always been afraid of thunder and would always need someone with him to calm down when the sky rumbled."Were you scared that night during the thunderstorm
