Chapter 102 Personality changes could be attributed to the child’s change in mentally. A change in taste, however…
Cedrick had always felt something was wrong, but he just could not pinpoint the problem.
Edwin pondered for a while after listening to him and rubbed his chin solemnly with one hand. “Do you suppose he started eating spicy food because Catelyn also enjoys them?”
Cedrick did not answer him.
Edwin gave his most rational analysis as he added, “I’m not joking with you. Studies have shown that after living with a certain person for a long time, the habits and tastes of two people will gradually resemble one another. Since Ollie is so dependent and likes Catelyn so much, maybe he’s trying to find ways to get closer to her?”
Cedrick lowered his gaze. “Is there anything wrong with Maia?” What was it about Catelyn that attracted him?
“There are many different kinds of beautiful flowers in the world, but you only love roses. It’s not necessarily that other flowers aren’t pretty enough, but each of them appeals to individuals differently. For the same reason, perhaps it’s not that Maia is bad, but Catelyn just gave Ollie a better sense of security.”
A young child like him would indeed need a mother and a sense of security.
Cedrick could give Ollie his broad arms and support, no doubt, but he could not fulfill his child’s need in terms of tenderness.
On the other hand, Catelyn’s motherhood made up for Ollie’s lack of maternal love.
Edwin’s playful eyes narrowed, seeing that Cedrick had been silent the whole time after speaking his mind. “You know what, forget about it. Let’s go for a drink,” he said.
At the Barricade Club, Cedrick suddenly said something that made Edwin laugh.
“Are you saying that Ollie doesn’t like it that Maia has never given birth to a child?” said Edwin in between laughter.
Cedrick threw him a cold look Countless thoughts ran rampant in his mind at that moment.
For some reason, every time he was with Catelyn, he always had that odd feeling that they both seemed to know each other.
