Chapter 225
It was Catelyn’s first time at the Mason Estate.
Back then when she came to visit Ollie, she had only sat outside for a moment and left immediately. She did not have the intention to stay at the time, let alone pay attention to the details of the place. The house had a luxurious Europaen-style decoration with red walls and bricks, looking very sentimental. The landscape garden was filled with different kinds of plants, and the amount of greenery here was just astounding. “Aunt Catelyn!” Before Albert could even finish his words, a small figure suddenly appeared in front of him. Miles’ short legs rapidly stomped the ground as he raced toward Catelyn. He instantly clung to her legs the second he got to her as if afraid she would run away. He raised his little face and jumped happily. “Oh, Aunt Catelyn, you’re finally here! I miss you so much! Do you miss me?” Catelyn was equally excited to see him. She picked him up and kissed his tender little cheek. “Are you here to take me home?” Miles blinked hopefully.
Catelyn immediately made a silent gesture to him. She looked around as she lowered her voice. Luckily, Albert did not get too close to them, and he probably did not hear what Miles just said.
She whispered to Miles, “Don’t forget what I said to you on the phone. You should treat me as your employee, and don’t mention anything else about me taking you home. Do you understand?”
The light of hope in Miles’ eyes gradually dissipated, and he pursed his lips. “How long do I have to pretend?”
“Shh!” Catelyn pressed her mouth with her fingers, seeing Albert was just standing nearby. “I promise to take you home as soon as possible. Will you be good?”
Miles looked at Catelyn, his eyes gleaming as he did. “I’ve always been good,” he remarked. “I brought you some biscuits and puffs,” said Catelyn. “Do you want to eat them?” “Alright,” mumbled Miles, visibly sulking.
Cedrick returned to the Mason Estate after finishing some business. The moment he entered, however, a burst of laughter from a distance greeted him. It seemed to have come from the living room.
