Our Billion-Worth Twins by Velvet Antler novel Chapter 251

Chapter 251

Janice had not seen Ollie for a long time, so she brought him to Nandose Villa for a two days trip.

It was about seven to eight in the evening, which were peak hours for traffic and pedestrians in the fast-paced Sapphire City.

Catelyn and Cedrick were sitting at a restaurant.

"What were you doing in the washroom with the boy?" Cedrick asked in a serious tone.

Catelyn felt her nerve ticking upon hearing that question. She planned to have a quick meal and send Miles home, but he was smart enough to get a cab by himself. He should be arriving at home already.

Catelyn felt empty without her two sons with her.

"What else could we be doing? I was sad to have said goodbye to Master Ollie after spending a whole weekend with him," answered Catelyn, faking casualness.

Cedrick did not buy her answer. He squinted at her dubiously and said, "Do you want to tell me the truth, or should I look for the truth myself?"

"No!" Catelyn cut him off.

"If you don't want me to look for the truth, be honest with me."

Catelyn bit her lip and paused for a brief moment before asking, " Master Ollie told me, in his words, that he's a motherless b*stard child, and my heart ached for all the pain he's endured all these years. Cedrick, can you please tell me why Ollie doesn't have a mother?"

The air was still for a few seconds. Cedrick's lips pursed into a thin, straight line. His tenderness from earlier had vanished.

No one was allowed to talk about that woman, ever.

"Pack your stuff. I'm sending you home." Cedrick did not answer. He stood up and picked up his coat before heading out.

Catelyn's heart quivered as she did not expect him to react so aggressively.

"Wait!" She was hell-bent on wanting to know the answer to her question and gave chase. "I want to know more about Little Ollie's mother—"

"Does it matter who his mother is?" Cedrick cut her off immediately, emitting a murderous aura.

He obviously did not want to talk about it. Why would she insist on asking?

"No, but—" "Then stop being a busybody."

Catelyn paused for a brief moment. Even though Cedrick did not want to talk about it, the topic had been opened up, and giving up did not feel like an option.

She refused to just forget about it.

"If Ollie wants me to be his mother, I should know about these things! Why do you hate her so much, and how did Ollie end up in the Mason Estate?"

"Enough!" The veins on Cedrick's forehead protruded as he lost his composure. "Never, everbring up anything about that woman ever again. Just behave and remember your place, Catelyn. Don't forget that Jamie is still trying to fight for Miles' custody."

Catelyn quaked in disbelief. "Are you threatening me?"

Cedrick had no intention to threaten her. All he wanted was for her to stop asking questions. After all, the answers to these questions would do nothing but hurt both parties.

"Think whatever you want."

Catelyn was at a loss of words and felt disappointed.

"Sorry, I shouldn't have asked. 1 won't do it again."

Catelyn felt like she had made a joke out of herself. She might have had too high of an expectation before. Maybe things were not what she thought to be, that Cedrick did not steal Ollie from her.

Something else must have happened, but whatever it was, he did not want to talk about it. It must have been so complicated that he just did not want to be reminded of it.

Catelyn then thought about how he ruined her life four years ago and was the reason she got separated from her son. She got upset and turned around to leave the place.

Cedrick watched as Catelyn left and felt his heart sink. The last thing he wanted was to yell at her, but...

He had been on the hunt for Ollie's mother for so many years to no avail. What was there to tell her?

Catelyn left the theme park.

Some of the rides and attractions had closed at this hour, thus many parents were waiting outside by the bus stop with their children.

Catelyn wanted to call for a cab, but it was way too crowded. On top of that, it was during peak hours. The e-hailing service app sent her a reminder to inform her that there were 20 more passengers ahead of her.

If that was not bad enough, the weather had turned gloomy, and it looked like it would rain in seconds!

A strike of lightning lit up the dark sky, followed by a gust of wind as the rain started pouring mercilessly.
