Chapter 197 “Master Cedrick.” Catelyn pointed at Miles, her finger trembling as she widened her eyes in disbelief. “W-What did you call him?”
Cedrick looked at how shocked Catelyn was and scowled. “He’s Ollie. Haven’t you met him before? Do you not recognize him without the mask?”
‘Ollie… Ollie Mason? He’s Ollie Mason?!’ Catelyn felt like she had been struck by lightning.
“If he is Ollie, then where’s my Miles?”
Cedrick studied her curiously, eventually thinking that she was so overtaken with worry over Miles. “Don’t worry,” he assured her. “I promised that I’ll help you search for your son, and I intend on keeping that promise, but Ollie has been in a bit of a rebellious mood lately, so I’ll have to send him back to Albert first. Just wait for me here.”
‘Huh?’ Catelyn was baffled. ‘What are you talking about? My son is right there in your arms!’
“You…” Catelyn struggled to speak. She did not think it would be possible for her to not recognize Miles, but at the same time, she could not possibly tell Cedrick that he had mistaken someone else as Ollie, which meant that Ollie and Miles looked completely identical.
Cedrick caught onto a scent of disinfectant and grabbed onto the boy’s collar before staring at him. “Where have you gone to? Why didn’t you head back at the promised time?” “I–I didn’t go anywhere. I was just walking around and didn’t notice I’ve exceeded the time.” “And how do you explain the scent of disinfectant on you?”
Miles waved his hand dismissively and pointed across the road. “There. Someone was disinfecting that place, and I just came from that side. Geez, Big Démon, let’s just go home. I’m hungry…” The restaurant across the road was under renovation and the kitchen was packed with disinfectant and cleaning tools, so Miles’ explanation made sense.
Cedrick narrowed his eyes, not buying his explanation. He lifted Miles with one hand before striding over to the car, opening the door to the backseat, and shoving the boy inside.
Thump!
He slammed the door shut, causing the car to shake at the impact.
Catelyn watched as Cedrick shoved Miles into the car dazedly and instantly knew that she could not let him leave. Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
“Wait!” Catelyn darted forward and stopped Cedrick from getting into the driver’s seat. “I…
Though she was speaking to Cedrick, she was staring directly at Miles, not wanting to look away for even a moment. In the black leather seats, the boy played with his fingers guiltily, thinking, ‘Crap! Why hasn’t Big Demon started driving yet? Big Kitty is going to realize it’s me soon!’
“When…is your son’s birthday?” she asked. Cedrick looked at her oddly and sneered. “Don’t even think about it. You’re old enough to be his stepmother and he’s pickier than me, so he won’t marry you when he grows up.” Catelyn was stunned at this remark ‘What is he trying to say? Does he think that I’m trying to seduce his son? If this boy is my Miles, he wouldn’t pretend like he didn’t know her. Does that mean that this is Ollie after all?’
Cedrick bent his arm and leaned against the car door while rubbing his chin with another hand. He leaned downward slightly, and his strong presence instantly loomed over her. “Speaking of, there’s something I need to ask you as well.” His sudden motion startled Catelyn, and she subconsciously took a step back
