Chapter 1325
Catelyn also kept silent and looked at Miles. They confronted each other quietly.
After a while, Miles asked in return, "No matter how sensible I'm, I will lose my home. Is it useful for me to be sensible?!" His tone was as domineering as Cedrick's.
As soon as she heard that, she softened. She reached out her hands to wipe the tears at the corners of his eyes and said in a gentle voice, "How can it be? Where I am, where your home is."
He looked away awkwardly, bit his lower lip and didn't say anything.
"Soon, you will be five years old and be a little adult. Stop crying. Otherwise, I will also feel sad." She stared at his big red eyes and softened her voice more.
Finally, he looked up to meet her gaze as he sobbed.
"I’m having dreams these days."
She asked, "Nightmares?"
His eyelashes were wet with tears, and his eyes were as red as a rabbit's. "I dreamed that you and Big Demon didn't come to see Ollie and me and that you abandoned us..."
She frowned and sighed gently. "What happens in the dream is always the opposite of that in the real life..."
"But you have taken the ugly uncle back! Uncle Edwin said that you would abandon us after you remarry!" He tugged at the hem of her clothes and emphasized sadly and audaciously.
Her heart did a flip-flop. When did Edwin say so?'
"You played tricks on Uncle Terrence because of Uncle Edwin?"
'At that time, Miles went to the kitchen first. Then Edwin followed him to the kitchen.
'After Miles returned to the dining hall, he started to play tricks on Cedrick.'
Miles nodded nonstop. "Uncle Edwin said that the ugly uncle wouldn't refuse to eat the cake in front of you even though I added something to it. Besides, it was Uncle Edwin who scooped the crab out. I just put it in the sink."
Only then did Catelyn know the whole story. 'No wonder Miles suddenly played tricks on Cedrick like that!
