Our Billion-Worth Twins by Velvet Antler novel Chapter 463

Chapter 463

Although he did not make it clear that he wanted the children’s custody, Cedrick had always been unpredictable, so he might change his mind at any point.

Hearing Catelyn’s breaths, he realized how the pent-up anger and sadness he felt before inexplicably dissipated.

“Are you still here?” Catelyn was baffled as to why Cedrick did not even say a thing. “Did you make the wrong call? I’ll hang up-”

“No, I didn’t,” came Cedrick’s response before she could hang up the phone.

His deep voice sounded vague in the dawn.

Even so, Catelyn tensed when she heard his voice. “What’s the matter? Why are you calling this early in the morning?”

“Can’t I call you even if I have nothing to say?” He sounded rather stiff and somewhat angry altogether.

“I thought you’d be quite busy.”

Catelyn was guessing that he was too bored and had spare time that he called her to talk about such a boring topic. The atmosphere turned awkward all of a sudden.

Cedrick was sitting in front of his desk with the black ring box on the table. He opened the box and looked at the ring attentively. The ring was created by her as an idea when she participated in the Chandier Jewelry Competition.

He pursed his pale lips and asked, “I’ll be back in two days. Is there anything you want as a gift?”

Catelyn thought he was talking about the two children as she answered naturally, “You can bring anything for Miles and Ollies. They won’t hate that.”

Then, the atmosphere became awkward again.

However, Catelyn could make out how Cedrick’s breathing quickened.

She immediately added after a short pause, “Miles recently likes to read books about space and technology, so you can buy some gifts in this regard. Ollie doesn’t care much; you can give him a toy model.”

She always wanted Ollie to retain a piece of his childishness.

Cedrick closed the ring box with a clack and asked quietly, “What about you?”

“Me?”
