Chapter 493
Cedrick was taken by surprise as he did not expect that this would be what haunted Catelyn instead. His expression darkened as he opened his mouth to say something, but Catelyn beat him to it.
“I know you don’t like tainted goods, just like how I hate being forced.” Her fingers twitched before relaxing as she met his gaze. “Miles and Ollie are both wonderful and sweet children. If you want to make it up to us, just let everything stay the way it is now. I can raise them with you, and they’ll have everything that other kids have.”
After the measuring session, Miles and Ollie’s clothes would be finished within a week, just in time for when they needed them.
When the twins stepped outside, they noticed Catelyn’s reddened eyes and Cedrick’s dark expression.
Though Miles did not wish for his mother to accept Cedrick again so soon, he hated seeing her sad when they fought.
The two started doing whatever they could to cheer Catelyn up, and Catelyn narrowed her eyes with a chuckle,
She should be content to have wonderful children.
Her smile under the warm sunlight created a ripple in Cedrick’s eyes like a rock thrown into a lake.
He gulped harshly and lowered his gaze. He seemed riddled with guilt as though he had done something wrong again, but he did not know how to tell Catelyn the truth.
Without another word, he left the mall with the three and planned on taking them to an Eastern cuisine restaurant. After all, that seemed to be the common preference for Catelyn and the twins.
The boys ran toward the roadside to wait for the traffic light to turn green.
Just then, Cedrick noticed the neon board above Catelyn was loosening. With a snap, it fell.
“Watch out!” He paled, unable to imagine what would happen if such a heavy board was to fall onto her.
