Chapter 51

Ollie had almost finished memorizing the design and closed the draft window, and it was then he spotted the reflection of a figure on the computer screen. Ollie's eyes widened as he turned around, only to replace that Cedrick was standing right behind him.

Ollie's relaxed posture tensed up immediately. "F-Father?"

Cedrick's eyes darkened as he asked the question that he already had the answer for. "What are you looking at?" "Aunty Catelyn's draft that she had just sent over," Ollie explained as he hopped down from the stool, moved it closer to Cedrick, and gestured for him to sit. Cedrick sat his tall figure down elegantly.

"Do you understand it?"

Ollie shook his head defeatedly. "I don't understand some parts of it, but..." Ollie balled his fists tightly as he spoke with much conviction, "I'll study hard to make sure I understand all of it someday." Cedrick's heart softened upon seeing how determined Ollie was. "Turn on the computer. I'll explain to you the parts you didn't understand."

Ollie's eyes sparkled in anticipation upon hearing his father's offer. Cedrick was always busy with work, and the pair rarely spent any alone time together, let alone Cedrick teaching his son anything. Ollie turned on the laptop as the draft appeared right on the screen. He was about to point something out to show Cedrick, but he was too short and his arms were not long enough.

Cedrick then hoisted Ollie upward by his torso with one arm and placed him on his lap. Ollie was so shocked that his lips parted.

This...was the first time his father has ever carried him. +

"Which part did you have trouble with?" asked Cedrick with his deep voice. Ollie snapped back to his senses and pointed at the screen. "Here, here, and here. I don't quite understand these parts." Cedrick explained everything thoroughly to Ollie. Since construction and development were a big part of Mason Group, it was an easy topic for Cedrick to explain and teach. Ollie felt a newfound admiration for Cedrick.

Even though they were never close, Cedrick was the most capable young man in Sapphire City.

Tere never

Albert was about to remind ollie that it was time for bed when he walked past the room and overheard their conversation.

Upon looking closely, he saw that the Young Master was sitting on Master Cedrick's lap, and the two of them were having a discussion about Catelyn's draft.

Albert rubbed his eyes, thinking he was imagining things. Was Master Cedrick really bonding with the Young Master?

What a miracle!

It was a good while before Cedrick got off of Ollie's seat. Cedrick looked at Ollie's hopeful, excited gaze, and rubbed his head awkwardly, saying, "If you like Cately that much, you can go see her at the mansion. I'll be moving her there soon, after all."

Ollie's eyes sparkled. However, it quickly turned into a look of disappointment. Ollie did want to see his dear Aunty Catelyn, but how could he make sure she would not be able to recognize him?

The next day, Ollie went downstairs from the second floor and found Maia at the dining table along with Cedrick. "Ollie, you're up!" greeted Maia as she waved gently at Ollie. "I brought you some gifts. Come have a look!"
