Chapter 257 Catelyn closed the door promptly behind her and nervously ordered, “Quick, Miles, Cedrick is here! Find a place to hide in quickly. I’ll try to get him out of here as soon as I can so you can come out.”
There was only one thought in her mind at that moment-Cedrick must never see Miles! “What?” Miles shot up on the bed in an instant, his sleepiness completely gone at that point as he puffed his cheeks and complained, “Why is he here?” “Your grandma let him in.” Miles stared at the blanket on Catelyn. His big and round eyes squinted doubtfully, resembling Cedrick when he was being cold and stern. Catelyn had goosebumps upon seeing that look on Miles.
The blanket on her did seem pretty inappropriate.
She struggled to carry Miles up from the bed and put a jacket on him before opening the closet and placing him in there.
“Hide in the closet for now.” Miles curled into a ball inside the closet, perfectly concealed behind Catelyn’s long dresses. Miles poked his head out from behind the colorful dresses as he looked up at Catelyn reluctantly. “Why am I always the one hiding?”
Catelyn was in pain at that moment, but she suppressed her shivers and squatted to peck his forehead. “Please just bear with me, sweetheart. I promise I’ll make it up to you, alright?” “Don’t think I can be bought with just a kiss this time!” whined Miles. “Three more kisses,” offered Catelyn, trying to console her son, “okay?” Miles’ squishy cheeks blushed faintly as he whined endearingly, “You use the same trick every time, and my face is all wet with your saliva. Gross! Go kick the Big Demon out, quickly.” Catelyn closed the closet door and felt dizzy as she propped herself up with an arm on the door. She stood for a moment before changing her clothes. When she went outside to the living room, there was no one there. Sounds of something clanging were heard coming from the kitchen. Catelyn used one hand to support her abdomen as she made her way toward the kitchen. Cedrick was seen boiling milk. On the tabletop was a ceramic mug, and in it was a bar of chocolate. “Where’s my mother?”
Why was he boiling milk in the kitchen?
Cedrick turned and pointed at the opposite room, saying, “Missus Clark said she’s getting old
and can’t stay up late anymore, so she went to bed.” He paused for a moment before adding,” She also said that her hearing is getting worse, and that she won’t hear anything that happens tonight.”
