Our Billion-Worth Twins by Velvet Antler novel Chapter 6

The candy was stuck in Ollie’s throat. Instantly, Ollie’s face turned a bruising red as his eyes frantically roved around.

Cedrick picked Ollie out of the bush and placed him back on the ground.

“Ahem!” Ollie coughed vigorously and opened his mouth to breathe, before finally swallowing the piece of candy.

As soon as he looked up, he saw Cedrick’s stern, cold expression. Ollie immediately put away any trace of childishness and lowered his head politely.

“Father.”

Cedrick rarely disciplined Ollie and felt more responsibility than love toward the child. He lifted an eyebrow and questioned coldly, “Do you know how much time and energy I’ve wasted looking around for you?”

Ollie lowered his head further. “I’m sorry.”

“I didn’t come looking to hear that you’re sorry. Why did you sneak out?”

Ollie bit his lip while facing the towering figure before him, but he remained silent.

“I’ll take it that you simply did so for fun, but there won’t be a next time.”

“…” Ollie kept quiet.

Cedrick stared at Ollie’s depressed state and scowled, before pulling at his own necktie. He could not stand seeing Ollie with his head bowed like all energy had been drained from him, because that made the boy appear nothing like Cedrick’s kin.

“What are you standing there for? Do you not know the way back?”

“I do…” Ollie clenched his fists and silently started walking toward the direction where the Bens was parked. When he got into the car, he glanced back in the direction of Golden Sun Kindergarten once again.

He had taken note of the place and would find another chance to come back once again.

Inside the car, the boy sat upright at the backseat with the mannerism of a high-born.

Eason noticed the awkwardness in the atmosphere and rolled his eyes, before handing an iPad to Ollie.

“Young Master, the mansion that Old Master gave you is ready for renovation. Here; these are the designers and the styles they are good at. Take a look and see which one you like.”

Ollie accepted the tablet with a lack of interest…until his face brightened up at the sight of the photo of one of the designers.
