Chapter 93 Catelyn then scooped another spoonful of stew onto Cedrick’s plate. Seeing the way he responded, he must have liked this dish. Cedrick devoured the stew expressionlessly and said, “I had an important phone call that morning.”
“I get it-you’re a busy man. You don’t have to explain anything to me.
“Frankly, I still owe you the hospital bills.” Perhaps it was because there was a child in the same room, but Catelyn did not feel as awkward and chatted casually with Cedrick
Cedrick’s expression darkened and thought, ‘She ‘gets it? What exactly does she mean? I didn’t even leave the hospital that day; she was the one who ran off without saying a thing!
Catelyn sensed the shift in Cedrick’s emotion in silence and thought back to all the words she had said, but she could not think of a second where she crossed the line. In the end, she decided to avoid talking to Cedrick altogether and focused on ‘Ollie’ instead. “Ollie, my son is around the same age as you are. He has the same taste too, so you two might have a lot in common to talk about. Why don’t I bring him out next time so that you two can be friends?”
“No!” Miles and Cedrick responded in unison.
The two gave each other a look before Miles said sweetly, “I finally have the chance to hang out with you, Aunty Catelyn, so please don’t bring a third wheel with you.”
Miles did not want Ollie to come out and fight him for his mother’s attention.
Meanwhile, Cedrick was reminded of how rude Miles was the last time he saw him. His instinct told him that this child would influence Ollie, who was already in a rebellious phase, so it was best that the two children stay away from one another.
As rare as it was, Miles and Cedrick took the same stance.
Catelyn forced a smile regretfully and wondered why she had been so reckless when she did not drink at all.
“Let’s eat.” She changed the topic with a smile, but was clearly not as enthusiastic as before.
They managed to finish all the food they ordered as both Catelyn and Miles ate a lot. She paid the bill and said goodbye to the father-son pair.
Miles wanted to follow her, but Cedrick grabbed him by the arm to stop him.
“You’ve had your fun. It should be enough, shouldn’t it?” warned Cedrick monotonously. Miles rolled his eyes at him. “You’re so annoying, Big Demon.” With that, Miles swiftly got into Cedrick’s Bagatti Veiron that was parked by the road. Although he was three and a half years old, boys were born to like cars, planes, and engines by nature. Cedrick’s car was modified and the interior was impressive, so Miles could not help but touch every single thing inside the car. He sat in the car for a while and realized Cedrick had not gone in, so he poked his head out of
the window curiously.
To his surprise, he found the almighty Cedrick Mason leaning against a tree with one hand on his stomach, looking paler than earlier. “Wow!” Miles exclaimed, “Uncle Eason, Big Demon is done for now!” Cedrick’s expression darkened at his words and glared at the boy, thinking, ‘What does he mean, I’m done for? Why does he look like he’s excited?’ Sensing Cedrick’s glare, Miles cocked his head to the side and opened his mouth.
When Eason heard the noises, he hurried over and guessed that Cedrick’s stomach was hurting again. He helped Cedrick into the car and said worriedly, “Master Cedrick, I’ll send you to the hospital right away.” Cedrick had been busy with work in recent years, so much so that his sleep cycle and meal
schedule had been irregular and had led to a weak stomach. It had no profound effect on daily life, but the doctor had advised against spicy or cold food and over-drinking.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
