Ollie's eyes gleamed with dissatisfaction for a brief moment.Maia would always behave demurely and elegantly whenever Cedrick was nearby.In reality, Ollie had been exposed to Maia's true color more than once, and he knew Maia despised him for being a burden.Nonetheless, Ollie walked over toward Maia and greeted her politely."Good morning, Aunty Maia.""Morning, Little Ollie." Maia took out a robot toy figure from her bag and gave it to Ollie. "I didn't get to properly take care of you when you were sick previously, so I hope this gift is enough to make up for it. Do you like it?"Ollie took the toy and nodded calmly, his face devoid of emotions. He was used to hiding his emotions from those outside his circle.Maia reached out her hand, her nails done with sparkling manicure, as she attempted to pat Ollie's head.Ollie, however, moved one step toward the dining table and grabbed the glass of hot milk, dodging Maia's hand completely.He would not allow just anyone to touch

"Catelyn didn't ask anyone to beat me up; it was the man she's cheating on me with who ambushed me," said Jamie with a sunken face as he sat up on the bed, frustrated, and his face covered with injuries was scrunched.That night, he left the clubhouse with two bodyguards. He originally wanted to take care of his head injury, but he was shoved into the bushes the moment he stepped onto the sidewalk.Those men were fearless enough that they did not even bother covering up their faces. They literally went ham on him and beat him up, not forgetting to sneer at him before they left, reminding him to remember his place!Who else could that be? It was Cedrick's doing!"No matter who it was, we should never let it go so easily!" said Queenie.However, Jamie did not wish to pursue it any further. It was humiliating enough that he was punished by Cedrick, and he would never be as powerful as him. Jamie only said that because he wanted to save his dignity in front of his little sister."Thi

Catelyn sneezed, triggered by her cold and the scent of the roses at hand. She immediately covered her mouth and coughed a few times; the last thing she wanted was to infect the boy with her cold.The concerned Ollie tugged at the hem of Catelyn's shirt and sweetly asked, "Are you unwell, Aunty Catelyn?""I'm okay, just a little cold.""You can call me Ollie or Little Ollie—just not 'Young Master', please" Ollie followed closely behind Catelyn as he then carefully retrieved a paper shaped into a heart and gave it to Catelyn. "I have another gift for you. I hope you like it!"Catelyn looked at the beautiful handmade origami, her heart felt full and warm.How adorable. This was better than the bouquet!Still, this was the first time she met Ollie, was it not?How was he so good at this? Was this hereditary?Cedrick did not look like the type to make his first move when it came to girls. On the contrary, he looked like the type to wait for the woman to strike up an effort first!

Ollie, meanwhile, sat inside the resting room. He watched as everything unfolded and felt oddly happy.After all, his father had hugged Aunty Catelyn, which meant he must have liked Aunty Catelyn!If he started dating Aunty Catelyn, Ollie would be able to be with Catelyn forever!…The rain only worsened as time went by, and the windscreen wiper barely had time to wipe away the droplets before more fell and wetted the windows. With that, they were forced to stop driving.Cedrick had no choice but to bring them over to another mansion closest to where they were. Meanwhile, Catelyn called Stella to make sure Miles was taken care of before she followed the rest to the hall.The mansion felt cold and desolate, probably because it had been devoid of people for a long time.The room's temperature went up very slowly, even with the aid of the heater.Catelyn's clothes were slightly damp after walking in the rain, even with the raincoat on. She felt cold even during summer as she coile

Cedrick's face darkened in an instant.At that moment, the bathroom door opened, and out came Catelyn in an oversized dress shirt—his, moreover. Her hair was dripping with water as she tilted her head to the right.She had been looking for a pair of pants to wear as she felt uneasy being pantless. Imagine her surprise when she noticed there was a man in the room."Ahh!" she shrieked as she covered her chest with her hands, glaring at the man before him. "C—Cedrick Mason, what are you doing here?!"Cedrick's back was facing her at that moment. He hung up the phone and tossed it on the table when he heard her scream."Weren't you the one who called me over…"The rest of the words were stuck in his throat when he landed his eyes on Catelyn.The dress shirt that fitted him nicely had turned into an oversized dress on her, while the top three buttons were left unbuttoned.Catelyn followed his gaze as her eyes drifted down to her chest, the shirt damp from her wet hair.The brush sh
