Chapter 284 Cedrick’s sharp gaze scanned everything around the apartment carefully, from the coffee
table and cups to the laundry hanging by the balcony.
Everything looked normal.
Other than some feminine products, all he saw were children’s clothes and toys. There was no sign of
another man living in this space.
If that was it, why did she refuse to let him visit?
He did not buy Catelyn’s excuse of the apartment being ‘too messy’. He remembered that the other day
after coming back from the amusement park, he had already sent her to her doorstep, but she insisted
that he took a detour to the hotel. She was avoiding him…or, perhaps, was instead hiding something
from him. Catelyn was thinking about how to answer when all of a sudden, her phone buzzed. She slid

took Miles out for a walk. The bags and clothes on the couch were all brand new, mostly still with their
tags on. They were all gifted by the sponsors, and she left them for Catelyn when she went to fetch Miles
earlier. Catelyn was just so grateful for Joanne that she did not know how to thank her enough; be it for
the clothes or for taking out Miles. “You have fun with Miles! I’ll pick him up in a few days,” said Catelyn
into the phone, deliberately raising her voice to make sure Cedrick had heard her. Joanne, on the other
end of the line, was confused.
‘In a few days’? There was only a wall between them, no?
However, Catelyn hung up before she could reply, shrugging. She then said to Cedrick, “Miles’
godmother had taken him out to play, so it looks like you can only meet him next time! You can leave
your present here, and I’ll tell him that you bought it for him when he gets back.” “Someone took your kid
out, but you didn’t know about it beforehand?” Cedrick frowned slightly. Something did not add up to him.
He looked into the apartment again. The room was very clean and tidy, except that he noticed that there
was not one photo of Miles at all.
There were, however, a few photos of Catelyn with Stella.
Catelyn did not want to continue this conversation with him anymore. As long as Miles was not home,
she did not care what Cedrick was thinking.
“Miles’ godmother has the key to my apartment. I usually don’t interfere.”
Then, Catelyn took her groceries into the kitchen, not wanting to talk about Miles anymore.
Cedrick sat in the living room quietly for a short while and then tiptoed to Catelyn’s room.
He could not find one photo of Catelyn with Miles together at all, even in her room!
Cedrick’s frown deepened into his forehead.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThis was strange.
Catelyn’s room was minimalistic with only a bed and a dresser. Opposite the bed was a working desk,
and on top of it was a study lamp, a stack of documents, and papers. What stood out more was the draft
design of Bubsville Villa and a few of her drafts for the jewelry design competition. Maybe she did not
reckon that there would be anyone coming to her room, so her drafts were all left on the table.
Cedrick took a brief look at them.
He gasped in shock.
Ding, dong!
Catelyn was still preparing dinner in the kitchen when she heard the doorbell.
Assuming it was Stella, she went to open the door, only to be shocked by the sight that greeted
her.
“Hey, Cat! Did you miss me?” Joanne was grinning from ear to ear while waving enthusiastically at her.
Next to her was a single 61-centimeter luggage.
