Our Billion-Worth Twins by Velvet Antler novel Chapter 63

Chapter 63 Cedrick eyed Ollie dangerously. “What did you say?”

“I said that I don’t like Aunty Maia. I like Aunty Catelyn! I know you won’t ever take that into consideration; I’m just saying my piece. You can pretend that you never heard this. “What happened tonight was my fault, so please don’t blame Aunty Catelyn anymore…and please don’t fire her. I won’t mess around next time.” Ollie bowed to Cedrick before he dejectedly left the room. Cedrick looked at the boy’s tiny silhouette walking away in dismal silence. His chest was tight, his facial muscles stiff, and his eyes were dim. Nobody could read what was on his mind.

Ollie left the study and wanted to apologize to Catelyn, but he found himself only able to stand before the door, not knowing what to say, Could he confess that he lied to her and caused this misunderstanding? Would she be angry?

Catelyn woke up early in the morning. The thunderstorm had stopped, and it felt extra refreshing after the rain.

Catelyn did not want to see Cedrick anymore; it would be all too awkward.

She thus ordered a cab and wanted to leave when she bumped into Albert at the doorway. The man seemed to have predicted that she would be leaving. He carefully took out a beautiful calf-skin package and handed it to Catelyn. Catelyn reached out to take it and asked, “What is this?” “Something that Master Ollie had asked to pass to you. I have no clue what is inside.” Catelyn opened the package, revealing a crayon painting. There sat a lady on a high chair, and in her hands was a bouquet of roses. A little boy stood next to her, illustrated to be covering his ears with his hands, his head hung low as though apologizing to the woman.

Catelyn did not know that it was Ollie who asked Cedrick to go to her room. Even if she knew about it, though, she would not hold grudges anymore upon seeing this painting. How could she have the heart to hold grudges against such an adorable boy?
