Chapter 28

hapter 28 Jamie choked at Catelyn’s retort and took a while to recover before he hissed, “You just don’t want to tell me who that man is, isn’t it? Just wait and see; I’ll make you talk! Catelyn ended the call impatiently and felt surreal. It was still the same number Jamie used four years ago, and back when she decided to cut off her past, she deleted all the past contacts. However, when she looked at the number once again, she realized that there were things that one simply could not forget, just like the bond between Jamie and Miles. If Jamie was provoked and was determined to fight for Miles’s custody, she would not be a match for Jamie’s wealth and influence, considering her current status. Catelyn reminded herself to be more careful moving onward to avoid troubles. Inside the spacious study in Mason Estate, Ollie had been brought home and Cedrick had punished him, ordering him to stand at attention for an hour. While that sounded not much of a hassle, it was, in fact, extremely difficult.

The little boy stood still at the corner of the room, with his back about half a meter away from the wall. His face was expressionless as he lowered his head and kept both his hands close to his sides. His pose was precise, but his limbs were shivering and exposed the truth of how excruciating the punishment was. Cedrick had told Ollie that if he admitted to his mistake and promised to never make the same mistake again, he could reduce the punishment. Ollie simply chose to make it through the hour without saying a word. Ollie knew that everything happened because he greedily longed for the warmth Catelyn gave him and exchanged identities with Miles, so he was willing to accept the punishment. After all, Cedrick had taught him to take responsibility for his actions from a young age. Albert’s heart ached for Ollie as he could not stop himself from pacing back and forth in the corridor. Both father and son were too stubborn, and he dared not try changing their minds. He checked the time constantly, desperately hoping that the hour would pass sooner.

Finally, the last minute passed… Albert hurried his way into the study and reminded him happily, “Young Master, time is up.” He tried to pick Ollie up, but the boy pushed him away. With a face that seemed to have lost its color, Ollie pursed his lips and stood up straight until he could barely bend his knees, before looking across the table at Cedrick. The man was handling some documents at the time and did not bother to spare him a glance. Ollie stepped toward him with his chin up and deadpanned, “Father, you promised me that you’ll give the position of the mansion designer to Aunt Catelyn.” ‘Aunt Catelyn? They haven’t met yet and he’s already addressing her in such an intimate manner?’ Cedrick thought as he narrowed his eyes before brushing it off.” Her health has caused her to apply for leave and therefore,” he remarked, “so she won’t be able to oversee the project.” Ollie could tell that Cedrick was lying to him and repeated stubbornly, “You promised! “Albert, take the young master out for food,” Cedrick changed the subject and glanced coldly at Albert. “Yes.” Taking the hint, Albert immediately tried to bring the boy to the dining room downstairs, but Ollie simply ran off into the bedroom. Following a loud slam of the door, Ollie locked himself inside the room, refusing to speak to Albert or even eat. Albert was instantly facing a dilemma. The young master could be very terrifying when he was this stubborn. Suddenly, Albert could not help but miss the way Ollie argued with Cedrick. He would not be this quiet, at least, to the point that he felt sorry for Ollie.From NôvelDrama.Org.
