Chapter 355 Catelyn felt something pierce through her heart as she throbbed in pain. It was summer and there was no wind, but she felt a bone-chilling air rushing over her, sinking into her skin. She shuddered. That pendant was that important, huh?
‘Take good care of it. You can’t afford to lose it.’
Cedrick was right; she would never be able to find him another one if she were to lose his mother’s relic that she had left for him.
‘But why didn’t he just tell me?’
Cedrick was not present during the meal, which meant only Janice, Javier, and Ollie were there. Javier was talkative as usual, not once stopping even after they sat down, but he never really looked at nor acknowledged Catelyn either.
He was only talking to Janice and Ollie.
This did not bother Catelyn, however, as she continued having her meal. In the middle of the meal, Catelyn gave Ollie a knowing glance, and the boy immediately got up from his seat and said that he needed to go to the washroom.
“I’ll come with you.” Javier put his cutleries down and volunteered to follow.
Ollie pouted. “I’m not a three-year-old anymore,” he grumbled. “I can use the washroom by myself.”
“You’re only slightly over three!” Javier smirked and continued, “Could it be that you’re afraid that your uncle is going to see your weewee?”
Catelyn thought that the conversation would end there, but Ollie widened his jewel-like eyes and nodded. “Of course! Only my Mommy is allowed to see.”
“Pft! Your Mommy could be dead already.”
Catelyn’s hand quivered.
Ollie’s expression froze at this before fury overtook him as he shot a heated stare at Javier.” Apologize. Apologize to my mother right now! She’s not dead, so don’t ever say that again!”
