Chapter 225
It was Catelyn’s first time at the Mason Estate.
Back then when she came to visit Ollie, she had only sat outside for a moment and left immediately. She
did not have the intention to stay at the time, let alone pay attention to the details of the place. The house
had a luxurious Europaen-style decoration with red walls and bricks, looking very sentimental. The
landscape garden was filled with different kinds of plants, and the amount of greenery here was just
astounding. “Aunt Catelyn!” Before Albert could even finish his words, a small figure suddenly appeared
in front of him. Miles’ short legs rapidly stomped the ground as he raced toward Catelyn. He instantly
clung to her legs the second he got to her as if afraid she would run away. He raised his little face and
jumped happily. “Oh, Aunt Catelyn, you’re finally here! I miss you so much! Do you miss me?” Catelyn

take me home?” Miles blinked hopefully.
Catelyn immediately made a silent gesture to him. She looked around as she lowered her voice. Luckily,
Albert did not get too close to them, and he probably did not hear what Miles just said.
She whispered to Miles, “Don’t forget what I said to you on the phone. You should treat me as your
employee, and don’t mention anything else about me taking you home. Do you understand?”
The light of hope in Miles’ eyes gradually dissipated, and he pursed his lips. “How long do I have to
pretend?”
“Shh!” Catelyn pressed her mouth with her fingers, seeing Albert was just standing nearby. “I promise to
take you home as soon as possible. Will you be good?”
Miles looked at Catelyn, his eyes gleaming as he did. “I’ve always been good,” he remarked. “I brought
you some biscuits and puffs,” said Catelyn. “Do you want to eat them?” “Alright,” mumbled Miles, visibly
sulking.
Cedrick returned to the Mason Estate after finishing some business. The moment he entered, however, a
burst of laughter from a distance greeted him. It seemed to have come from the living room.
There, Miles had taken off his shoes and sat on the sofa, cross-legged, with a storybook on his
lap.
Catelyn, on the other hand, was sitting next to him, feeding him her freshly baked biscuits
while telling him stories in a soft tone.
“This story tells us that children aren’t supposed to tell lies. They must be honest.”
Miles chewed the biscuits in his mouth and muttered, “So it’s wrong to lie.”
“Well…” Catelyn stopped and thought for a moment.

Catelyn appeared to be a little uncomfortable. Her tone got softer as she added, “Well, under certain
circumstances, to protect yourself, it’s okay to tell a white lie every once in a while.” Miles rolled on the
sofa. “Like what we’re doing now?” Catelyn coughed lightly and praised, “Smart boy.” The warm and soft
female voice of Catelyn was like a small feather brushing on Miles’ heart. At this moment, Cedrick strode
into the living room. Miles immediately got up from the sofa and stood in front of Catelyn, spreading out
his arms and legs as if he was a hen protecting her chicks. Catelyn was baffled. “What are you doing?”
“Big Demon said he wanted you to be my stepmother, but I don’t want it! I’m not going to let him take
advantage of you!”
At that very moment, Catelyn felt something stinging inside her, as though something had pierced her
heart.
