Chapter 285 Catelyn’s expression froze as she hastily pushed Joanne out. “Why are you here? Go, go!
I’m a little caught up right now.”
“Don’t worry. Miles has told me that you’re very busy right now.” Joanne then winked at her and pushed
the luggage to her. “Here, this is your present. I’ll get going!”
Catelyn did not think too much about it. After all, Joanne frequently gifted her presents from time to time.
She took the luggage in and threw her a glance, signaling she should leave.
She was in such a hurry that she did not notice the cunning look on Joanne’s face, how her eyes curved
into crescents as she said, “I won’t disturb your precious time with the mysterious man. Though, I am
quite curious who this ‘Big Demon’ is that Miles keeps talking about.”
What answered her was Catelyn’s door slamming shut. Catelyn felt something was off when she
dragged the luggage into the room. Why was the luggage so heavy? It did not feel like clothes or the
likes.

couch, so she settled in one corner and pulled open the luggage.
Suddenly, a tiny fleshy hand reached out from within and grabbed Catelyn by the wrist, and Catelyn
almost let out a shriek.

The zipper was only pulled halfway, too. The tiny hand helped himself to unzip the bag entirely. “I’ve
gifted myself to you, Mommy! Do you like it?” Miles sat up in the luggage, his tiny pink lips parting as he
gasped for air.
He was so tiny that there was still ample room in the luggage after stuffing him in. Nonetheless, it was
stuffy.
Catelyn did not expect it to be Miles in the luggage, and she stuttered, “Why… Why are you back? Big
Demon is at home! Quick, go hide-I’ll send you back to Joanne’s.”
Miles blinked innocently, tugging and swinging her hand. “No. I purposely asked Godmother to send me
back here so I can protect you. Big Demon doesn’t have good intentions, and I can never let you be
alone with him.”
“What if you get busted?” challenged Catelyn. She tried not to raise her voice, and it sounded weird.
Miles patted his tiny chest. “I’ll hide so well that he won’t notice!”
“I won’t risk this.” Catelyn attempted to stuff Miles back into the luggage. “It’s too dangerous for you to do
this. Consider yourself lucky that last time, you weren’t discovered by Cedrick even though you made
noises.”
Miles blinked his watery eyes. He did not want to be sent away!
“If you are sending me away, I’ll jump out and scream so that Big Demon sees me!”
Catelyn fell speechless at this.
Her son was threatening her! He always had this tendency!
Cedrick was waiting in Catelyn’s bedroom when he heard noises coming from the living room.
He pulled the door open and walked out slowly.

He saw Catelyn still in her apron, her hair tied up in a ponytail and her back facing him. She was
standing next to the couch, decluttering the pile of clothes and bags. Next to her feet was a pink
suitcase.
“Who was here?”
“The delivery man.” Catelyn’s heart skipped a beat when she heard Cedrick. She took a deep breath and
made sure that she looked normal before turning to look at Cedrick.
However, his aura was too strong.
She pointed at the kitchen and diverted the conversation, saying, “It might take a while for dinner to be
ready. You’re not in a rush, are you?”
Cedrick massaged his temples and sat on the chair in the dining room. “Do you have flu medicine?”
Catelyn saw that he looked a little pale and was shocked. “Did you catch a cold?” Cedrick suddenly
glared at her.
