Chapter 443
Miles was about to tease Grandma May, but to his bewilderment, a towering figure appeared before him instead. As his eyes traveled up the trousers, he saw a face that was extremely similar to his own.
The smile on his face collapsed as he exclaimed, “Big Demon?!”
Miles immediately tried to close the door, but Cedrick beat him to it and propped his arm against the door, overpowering Miles’ effort.
Ollie instinctively went to help, but as he raised his arms and was about to touch the door, Cedrick glared at him coldly, warning him to stay out of it.
Ollie pursed his chapped lips and went to help Miles with holding the door without hesitation.
Noticing that she did not hear Grandma May’s voice after the boys went to the door, Catelyn dried her hands and went out, only to find her sons desperately trying to shut the door. Their faces were a shade of crimson, and the veins on the back of their hands protruded.
Through the open gap of the door, Cedrick stood outside and stared down at their small ‘rebellion’ with a casual look on his face.
When they managed to push until there was only a finger-wide gap, he would push slightly harder until there was a fist-sized gap, and they would push harder again.
The same cycle repeated multiple times, to the point that it became obvious that he was toying with them.
Catelyn continued to dry her hands on her apron and lowered her voice as she commanded, “Miles, Ollie, let go.”
However, her sons were reluctant to oblige. “We can’t let Big Demon in! This is our home!”
Catelyn wanted to argue that they would not be able to win against Cedrick in terms of strength, and out of concern that her sons would exhaust themselves, she sternly warned, “Are you going to ignore my words?”
