Chapter 397
Catelyn visibly relaxed at the sound of the familiar sweet voice.
Ollie pursed his lips with a mature look that did not suit a child his age. ‘Mom doesn’t want to leave Father either, right?’
Two days later, all online platforms and all screens across every street were broadcasting the news of the union between the Mason and Clark families.
Catelyn had thought that she would feel hurt when she learned the news, but she was unexpectedly calm and numb. After all, she had already bought her flight ticket and planned to leave Sapphire City on Cedrick’s wedding day. ‘From now on, we’re just strangers, Cedrick Mason,’ she thought. Joanne came to the airport to send them off. “Mom, are we really leaving Ollie?” Ollie clung onto Catelyn’s leg innocently, trying to imitate Miles as best as he could.
Catelyn struggled to suppress the sorrow within him and said, “Miles, I know that you don’t want to part with Ollie as well, but…he’s already made his choice. I promise that we’ll sneak back to see him when we have the chance, okay?”
Knowing that the sweet, innocent act would not work any longer, Ollie nodded and followed Catelyn quietly.
Joanne watched as they went through the security check and gave Catelyn a big hug before they went. She then crouched and pointed at her cheek while looking at Ollie. “This is farewell to your godmother now, Miles. I just hate seeing you leave so much. I feel so sad whenever I remember the fact that I won’t be able to hold such an adorable boy in my arms from now on.
“C’mon, give me a kiss.”
Ollie scratched his head shyly as he pecked Joanne’s cheek lightly. Joanne flung her arms around him as she struggled to keep her tears from scrolling down her cheeks.
