Chapter 62 George saw Cedrick pinning Catelyn against the wall, her wrists firmly held in his hands. Catelyn's eyes were red and seemed glossed with tears...as though she had wept. Cedrick was harassing her!

George automatically sprung forward and attempted to pull Cedrick away from her, but Cedrick just would not budge.

"Master Cedrick! You're already engaged; you can't do this! Let her go!"

Fiance?

Catelyn's eyes widened upon hearing that, and her expression became unpleasant. Cedrick had a fiance?

That meant whatever happened that night at the hotel was...

Cedrick composed himself and flung Catelyn's hands away. Without hesitation, he turned around and was about to leave. He saw George serving the hot soup to Catelyn through the corner of his eyes, his lips curling upward in an unreadable emotion.

"Oh, I forgot to tell you-your son called. He asked for you to return his call, or he'll be calling the police soon." "Son?" George looked at Catelyn in disbelief. "Catelyn, did Master Cedrickjust say that you have a son?"

"Yes, my son is turning four soon." Catelyn was not shy about it at all. She tucked her towel in and hurried to get her phone, thinking of calling her son immediately. She knew Miles well enough to know that he was not joking when he said he wanted to call the police. Meanwhile, George's face froze entirely as he stammered, "I...never heard you talking about this. I was always under the impression that you're still single." Catelyn was so focused on trying to dial Miles that she did not even notice George's expressions. "I am technically single; I'm a single mom."

The light went off in George's eyes.

Just when he finally fell for a woman, she happened to be a single mom at such a young age.

He had so much more to ask but found himself unable to speak. His mind was in utter disarray at that moment.

Ollie looked visibly grim when Cedrick walked out of the door and bumped into him.

The boy was so tiny that he barely reached the height of Cedrick's waist, even if he stood up straight. Nonetheless, he stood still and hung his head low as though knowing he had screwed up. "Follow me to the study," said Cedrick coldly before turning to leave.

Ollie peeked into Catelyn's room warily, but still followed Cedrick He sighed to himself." Looks like it's a long way to go in helping Father get the woman."

The windows of their spacious study were left open, and a bit of rain had drizzled in. The thunderstorm outside had rustled the maple tree outside, causing the branches to brush and snap against each other. It was an eerie sight!

Cedrick looked at his son, and his tone was stern as he began, "Catelyn's clothes. Did you get them for her?"

"Yes," Ollie replied without hesitation. "You're quick to reply, aren't you? Whose idea was it to talk to me: yours, or hers?" Ollie pursed his lips, then said, "Mine." Enraged, Cedrick's eyebrows raised as his eyes widened. "How dare you!" "It's not what it looks like! I was just..." Ollie bit his lip, attempting to explain the situation but could not.

"Anyway, Aunty Catelyn never wanted to seduce you. It was my one-sided wish to have her as my stepmother." "If you want a stepmother, we have one at home. I could make her your stepmother any time." Being engaged for four years, Maia was already seen as the unofficial Missus Mason. They only needed a wedding to officialize it. "I don't like Aunty Maia," came Ollie's brazen retort.
