Our Billion-Worth Twins

Chapter 227

Chapter 227 The sudden change of topic caught Catelyn by surprise.

She was quiet for a brief moment before saying, “You suggested that I become his stepmother. Naturally, I’d want to foster some kind of relationship. If you send Ollie to his grandmother’s, we might not be as close with each other in the future.”

“I can see that you already have a good relationship with him.” Better than that with his own father.

Cedrick looked at her pensively, then said, “Stay over tonight.”

Tonight?

Catelyn’s eyes widened as her cheeks grew pinkish. “I’m on my period…”

Cedrick’s expression stiffened. “I was only suggesting that you keep my son company. What do you think I was implying? You thought I wanted to sleep with you?” “…” Catelyn’s face was as red as an apple at this point.

Panicking, she tried to excuse herself by saying she wanted to check on his son. However, Cedrick pulled her back as soon as she stood up, and she, losing her balance, tumbled into Cedrick’s chest, her forehead accidentally knocking on his neck. Her heart was racing as they looked at each other in silence. There was an indescribable sexual tension between them.

Catelyn was worried that Miles would be back any minute and quickly stood up, but Cedrick held her in place on his lap. “Cedrick, your son could be back any time soon,” reasoned an embarrassed Catelyn.

“What are you afraid of? He’s quite mature, isn’t he?” Cedrick cuddled Catelyn casually, his tone flirtatious as he added, “You were looking at him so affectionately all the time. Do you really want to be his stepmother?”

Catelyn was still panicking, but she could not push him away. She stared at him. “Are you suggesting that the way I look at you is ruthless?” It was supposed to sound hostile, but with her misty eyes, it pretty much sounded like a flirt to Cedrick. She was so close to him that he could feel the temperature in his palms rising, and his heartbeat raced off-beat.

Catelyn felt annoved to be mocked. Was he not wo

to be mocked. Was he not worried that his son would see them in such a compromising state? Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

She pulled his arm over and took a big bite.

This was payback for his unconsented cuddle, his presumptuousness, and for calling his son’ mature’! His son was obviously influenced by him! Ollie was so endearing, but he was raised to be a quiet little boy who would not share his thoughts with other people.

Heck, Cedrick even told him that his mother was dead when she was very much alive!

Catelyn’s initial intention was to get off Cedrick’s cuddle, but she suddenly snapped when she imagined Ollie bumping into them, so she took one big bite into his arm. She even subconsciously exerted a little more force than necessary. Cedrick felt acute pain shooting up from his arm but did not pull away from Catelyn. He clenched his fingers into his fist, and his biceps flexed. Catelyn’s facial muscles were sore from the biting. “Does my arm taste good?” he asked casually, much to Catelyn’s chagrin as she blushed. She flung his arm away and was even more enraged. “It’s salty and hard. There’s no taste to it. Heck, even roadside skewers would taste better than this!” “I have something else for you to eat. Do you want it?” Cedrick was still nonchalant, but Catelyn understood the underlying meaning of it. This jerk was teasing her!

Miles was back, but he could sense the tension in the air. Cedrick was looking at his mother like a predator, as though he was planning to eat her whenever he had the chance.

Miles stretched his neck and shouted, “Aunt Catelyn, I want to eat cake!” Catelyn was worried that he would get cavities in his teeth, so she rarely bought cakes for him. She would usually bake cakes for him with lower sugar content instead. “You should cut down on your dessert intake.” Cedrick was starting to feel the boy was getting in his way a little too often.
