Our Billion-Worth Twins by Velvet Antler novel Chapter 291

Chapter 291

“Your mother is a nightmare when she’s angry,” Joanne mumbled, then leaned back against the couch. “Tell me,” she spoke as she smiled at Miles, “what did you do to make your mother this angry?”

Miles immediately tried to appear as pathetic as possible. “Mommy brought Big Demon into

the room to make babies with him. No one will love me from now on…”

“Goodness, what are you even talking about? I’ll always love and care for you, Miles!”

“Really?” Miles stopped fake-sobbing and stared at Joanne unblinkingly with his innocent, large eyes. He did not play the victim card all that often, but when he did, the way he looked at people with doe-like eyes could melt hearts.

Joanne’s heart softened at the sight and nodded. “Of course. No one can bully Miles! Still, you have to tell me what you did.”

Miles hesitated for a moment before, finally, he came clean.

Joanne gulped audibly at his explanation with resignation. “You’re too much! It’s no wonder your mother got so angry. That guy is going to think that Catelyn was the one who drew on his face!”

“Godmother, I didn’t do it on purpose.” Miles batted his eyelashes, and Joanne admitted defeat.

The temperature of the soup was just right, and Cedrick took his seat before the dining table elegantly.

Albert’s heart throbbed anxiously as he thought to himself, ‘Who’d dare play such a prank on Master Cedrick? Master Cedrick has always been sharp, so it’s not like him to not notice anything after being made to look like that. Was it…Miss Clark?’

“Master Cedrick, did you go to visit Miss Clark this evening?” Albert probed gingerly.

Cedrick took a sip of soup. He could still smell the citrus scent of Catelyn’s lipstick somehow. He lifted an eyebrow lazily. “We ran into each other. Why?”

Albert realized that it was indeed Catelyn who drew on Cedrick’s face. ‘It’s no wonder that Master Cedrick didn’t bother to wipe it off! It’s just… Since when has romance between younger people become so odd?’ he thought “No-nothing,” Albert responded with his usual smile as he felt glad. “I’m just amazed by how loving your relationship with Miss Clark is.” Cedrick set the ceramic bowl down and wiped the corner of his mouth. “She’s clingy, so I have to compromise.” Cedrick’s tone sounded defeated, but his expression was smug, and the sight made Albert reel in shock. He had never seen Cedrick behave in such a way, like a man that was deeply in love.
