Our Billion-Worth Twins

Chapter 99

Catelyn could not seem to reach the bottom of Cedrick’s eyes or see through him. .

She let go of him in disappointment and realized that he had no reason to help her. Perhaps he was only trying to be polite by offering to come with her.

However, the moment she let go, Cedrick suddenly grabbed her hand, and his rough hand brushed past her palm. After that, he turned and entered the men’s room, disappearing before Catelyn’s eyes.

Catelyn suddenly felt like the palm he had touched felt extremely hot. Cedrick walked into the washroom and, as expected, saw a few men standing in front of the urinals. His brows twitched in response, and he was glad he had stopped Catelyn from running in.

He then turned to stare at the individual toilets.

There was a big gap between the doors and the floor, and he would be able to see the shoes and the hems of the trousers that the person inside was wearing. It was obvious that there were adults before the first few doors, except for the last one.

Behind the last door was the children’s toilet, and Cedrick spotted a pair of cute tiger slippers hanging in the air. Those apparently belonged to a child.

Behind the door, Ollie sat on the toilet, afraid of inhaling and exhaling too loudly. He was familiar with Cedrick’s presence, and as he approached, countless thoughts appeared inside Ollie’s head.

‘I can’t let him find me,’ he thought, ‘never!’ Just then, Cedrick knocked on the door in a rhythmic fashion and lowered his voice, saying,” Miles Clark?”

He stood before the door, and the unknown excitement in his chest overwhelmed him once again, so much so that he desperately wanted to kick the door open.

Ollie contemplated whether he should respond and, in the end, gritted out, “Yeah.”

“I’m Catelyn Clark’s friend. She’s waiting outside the door for you. How much longer do you need?” Cedrick tried his best to sound gentler but could not conceal his cold tone. Ollie was slightly taken by surprise by this. After all, his father had always been apathetic.

He drawled in a weak voice, as he indeed felt weak, and said, “Thank you, sir, but I still need some time. Can you and Mommy head back first?”.

“Catelyn is worried about you.” Cedrick did not intend on leaving and glanced at his watch. “If you don’t come out within three minutes, I’ll begin to suspect that you’re having digestive issues and need a doctor’s attention.”

Ollie grabbed the hems of his clothes and hummed in response as he hastily tried to think of a way to escape.

He sent a message to Miles with his phone and prayed wordlessly that Miles would see his message soon. There was no face mask or sunglasses within his reach, and if Cedrick barged

in, there was nowhere to run.

However, as time ticked by, the screen on his phone dimmed and did not light up again. Ollie’s heart sank. All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

“It’s time.” Cedrick’s cold voice pierced through the air and struck Ollie.

Ollie’s little body tensed as he started sweating from his forehead. “One second,” he pleaded stiffly, “just another minute.”

“You shouldn’t try to delay treating illness. Open the door.” Cedrick raised his voice and repeated again. He was amazed by how patient he had been to talk to a child who had insulted him before.

“‘I…”

“On the count of three, I’m kicking this door open if you won’t open up.” Cedrick took two steps back and raised his leg to the air, pointing his polished leather shoe at the door of the toilet.
