Semua Bab Our Billion-Worth Twins: Bab 111 - Bab 120

"Cedrick?"Catelyn was shocked. How did her phone end up in Cedrick's hands?"It's me," replied Cedrick coolly, languidly. "What happened at the Mason Estate today wasn't something that I expected, but I am grateful that you came to visit Ollie. Is your forehead better now?"Catelyn hesitated for a brief moment.Maia's injury was more severe than hers, no doubt. She would have responded defensively had Cedrick reprimanded her, yet she was shocked to hear how…kind he was in reality. In turn, Catelyn could not help but behave in a genial manner, too.After all, what happened between Maia and her had nothing to do with Cedrick.She even bit his hand that time."It's only a light injury, but I'll be fine in no time. Can you return my phone, please?""You want it back?" Cedrick did not answer her question straightforwardly and instead, questioned her in return, his voice deep and alluring as he did.Catelyn inwardly cursed, though she mustered a smile outwardly. "I've been using

However, what Cedrick said next crushed Miles' fantasy about having a gentle, loving father."Ollie, who allowed you to climb so high up? Do you want to plummet from above and get badly injured?"The boy was utterly flabbergasted as Cedrick reprimanded him.Falling silent, the sudden admiration that Miles had for Cedrick vanished, and his eyes widened. "I was climbing up alright, but you popped into my vision halfway! That's why I got shocked and fell.""So you think you're right?" Cedrick was cold and stern."I planned my moves clearly; you got me shocked, is all…""Please stop talking back, Young Master Ollie," Albert persuaded gently. "Did you forget about the time you lied about falling down from the ladder before? Master Cedrick was mad enough. It's better for you to not make him angrier—you don't want to get punished all at once."Miles pouted. "I just wanted to hang the paper clovers folded by Aunty Catelyn on the tree!""Looks like you still don't know your error." Cedr

Miles…The image of Miles' little face scrunching in pain flashed in Catelyn's mind. She could almost see his long lashes quivering while he hissed in pain.Did something happen to Miles?Her phone was not even with her, so she could not call the school to check on Miles.Catelyn turned the stove off, untied her apron, and hastily left it on the hanger before she headed downstairs to borrow a phone from the shop below.Once she opened the door, she was stunned at the sight before her.Cedrick stood right before her door.His black eyes glimmered with a strange glint, and he stared straight into Catelyn's eyes as soon as she opened the door. He reeked of tobacco, too.Catelyn was shocked by the man, and her eyes widened. "Master…Cedrick?"Cedrick suddenly lunged forward like a leopard, and his hand caught Catelyn by her throat. He took two to three steps forward and pinned Catelyn to the wall, his eyes still locking onto hers."What's so good about you, Catelyn?"Ollie was do

Catelyn stood in the middle of the living room while Cedrick sat on the sofa.Catelyn was trying hard to ignore Cedrick, but his presence was too strong. "You've returned my phone," Catelyn muttered. "Anything else that I could do for you?"He was just sitting there idly. He was not waiting for her to say her thanks, was he?"I'm hungry." Cedrick turned his head away and did not look at Catelyn, yet he was ordering all the same, "Make me some food."Catelyn was astounded. Was he thinking she was his maid?"There's a good restaurant downstairs, and they make great food. I highly recommend…"Cedrick stroked his collar mindlessly, raised his brow, and said, "I took the trouble to send your phone here. Do I not deserve compensation?"Catelyn blinked."I'm just saying that I didn't prepare ingredients for this, and I'm afraid I can't make something good for you."Ollie had mentioned to her that Cedrick could be picky when it came to food, and she was not in the mood to entertain hi

Cedrick did not argue.Still concerned, Catelyn reminded, "Remember: don't come out until I tell you to. You're the most important Mason, so your promise should weigh a thousand pounds."Clack!The doorknob turned at this very second.Catelyn was so shocked that her soul almost left her body. How did Queenie have the key to her house?!Catelyn quickly came out of her room and saw Queenie striding across the hallway, approaching her.A locksmith followed her, and they had pried her lock open!Offended at this, Catelyn guffawed. "I can sue you for breaking into my space, Queenie!"Queenie was just about to shout something when she suddenly spotted the two plates on the dining table that were yet to be cleaned up. One plate was big, and the other was smaller. They looked like they were just used, with crumbs still left on the plates.It was obvious someone had just finished the food not too long ago."Alright! I was wondering why you didn't open the door when you're obviously at
