Chapter 198 Catelyn reached out nervously and placed her palm against Cedrick’s chest before leaning backward. “Speak properly! Why are you leaning closer all of a sudden?”
“I’m concerned that you might not hear me.”
“What… What do you want to ask about?”
Cedrick decided not to tease her any longer and cut to the chase. “On the night your father was sentenced to death four years ago, were you in Four Seasons Hotel?”
Under the light, she stared at his straightened trousers and shiny black leather shoes as she was brought back to that night four years ago.
It was a nightmare that she would not wish to remember for the rest of her life, and the tips of her fingers trembled at the memories.
She looked up, her eyes reflecting his figure, as she curled her lips sarcastically. “I wish I wasn’t there.”
‘She was in Four Seasons Hotel after all. The screenshot from the surveillance wasn’t forged!’ Cedrick confirmed to himself. He stared into her eyes as a certain emotion built up within him, threatening to explode. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
After a while, he managed to suppress himself and went to smooth her hair before asking,” Did anything out of the ordinary happen that night?” ‘Why is he asking about this? Is he trying to look into my past with Jamie Mason?’ scoffed Catelyn as she shoved him away in frustration. “I’m going to look for my son!” she declared before she swiftly walked away, leaving both Cedrick and Miles only her silhouette.
On the window, Miles pressed his palms against the glass. His eyes were filled with anger as he watched Catelyn disappear into the distance when he glared at Cedrick. “You’re coming onto my Aunt Catelyn!” he hissed.
Cedrick gave the boy a sidelong glance and went into the car. He first gave Albert a call before glancing back at Miles, who was sitting in the backseat.
For whatever reasons, it seemed so much more pleasant to look at his son today. “I thought that you like her? I’ll make her your stepmother so that she can be with you every single day. Happy?” Miles’ jaw instantly dropped, wondering if he had heard Cedrick wrong. Stepmother?
Ollie had heard Cedrick’s voice moments before he came toward Miles and swiftly snuck away through the other end of the alley before he came close.
Though terrified, he was also rather glad that his father had once again mistaken Miles for him and took Miles back to Mason Estate instead of him; this meant that he could stay with Catelyn for the time being.
He buttoned his jacket and tightened his grip on the belts of his backpack before walking out of the alley and into the crowd after a while. However, while he felt relief and glee, he turned around to find Catelyn looking around nervously. Catelyn was still looking for Miles, and on the crowded streets, the passing people created an endless stream that flocked the streets. At a certain moment, she suddenly paused to look behind her as though she had sensed something and met Ollie in the eyes. Her heart seemed to have stopped for a moment. Ollie pursed his lips before he called out loudly, “Mommy!” Catelyn crossed the traffic hastily and ran toward the alley before pulling Ollie into her arms. It was not three seconds later when she finally released him to stare intently at the boy before her eyes.
The yellow-duck backpack, black boots, blue jeans, and brown jacket… His usual stern expression remained on his face, making him look both handsome and adorable. The boy before her looked just like the ‘Ollie Mason’ she saw in Cedrick’s car.
