Chapter 456

Miles pouted and shrugged regretfully. “Aww… Big Demon will only be away for a week.”

“Stop being so irritating!” Cedrick’s grip on the steering wheel tightened. “I can’t believe you learned to lie and steal at such a young age! You better not annoy me anymore, or the elders will be waiting in the Old House to discipline you.”

Miles leaned into Catelyn’s arms. “Hmph. Did you hear a crow cawing or something, Mommy? It’s annoying.”

Catelyn was speechless.

Meanwhile, Ollie opened a water bottle and handed it to Cedrick when he saw the veins on his forehead bulging.

“You seem to be sweating, Father. Drink some water to calm down.”

Cedrick shot him a glance before he took the bottle. “I’m not a father to you, am I?”

“Isn’t Father the one who chose Aunt Maia and abandoned us?”

Ollie had begged Cedrick not to do so, yet he did not listen and even pulled his hand off of him. Ever since then, Ollie had been brooding.

Oddly, Cedrick found no sorrow in Ollie’s bright eyes.

He was put to silence by Ollie’s rhetorical question.

Soon, they arrived. Cedrick walked them downstairs and did not go upstairs.

Catelyn and the children needed to catch their flight.

Both kids climbed upstairs to open the door. Catelyn initially intended to catch them up but was stopped by Cedrick.

“Do you have anything else to say?”

“The doctor said that your wound must be kept away from water. Change the medicine every two days. I’ll have Eason stay around. If you need anything or want to go anywhere, let him accompany you.”

Catelyn could see her tiny reflection in Cedrick’s pupils.

He seemed very serious. Still, it felt as though his aggressive side was gone at this point, and she felt that he was somehow closer to her at that very moment.

“I see,” answered Catelyn in a light tone. “If there’s nothing else, I’ll be heading up now.”

“You’re leaving already?” Cedrick stubbornly took a step forward and was only half a meter away from Catelyn as he did.

Cedrick’s approach was still antipathetic to Catelyn. She instinctively wanted to step back but eventually suppressed her urge to run away.

She asked earnestly, “And what about it?”

“I’ll be flying to Italey later, and I won’t be back until a week later.”

“I know. You’ve mentioned it in the car just now.”

Catelyn could not understand why Cedrick had to repeat himself.

She never knew, however, how Cedrick had been clenching and loosening his fist in his pocket recurrently as he tried to suppress his emotions.

“Take good care of the children and yourself. I’ll come to see you as soon as I come back. Don’t try to escape, or I’ll take it as you provoking me.”

“Since you’ve caught me once, I won’t run away foolishly again. Don’t worry; I’ll take good care of them.”

After making a solemn promise and seeing that Cedrick had nothing else to say, Catelyn turned around and went upstairs.

The moment Catelyn slowly disappeared into the corridor, Cedrick took out a black ring box. There was a reddish mark on his palm since he had gripped it in a vice-like grip.

He smiled bitterly. He knew even if he had given it to her just seconds ago, she would have thrown it away without hesitation. ‘What were you thinking?’ he mused to himself. ‘What did you say after the rockery that day?’
