Chapter 27 “If you don’t care about him at all, why bother having a son? If you’ve made the decision to raise him, you should take care of him instead of yelling at him over everything and traumatizing him! Cedrick Mason, what you’re doing isn’t something a father should do!”. An awkward silence blanketed the atmosphere once Catelyn finished emptying her mind through her rants. Eason observed Cedrick’s expression and cursed inwardly. Ollie’s background was taboo to Cedrick and no one was allowed to mention it, but Catelyn just had to go accusing Cedrick of not knowing how to be a father. Eason thought that Cedrick would explode…but to his surprise, Cedrick did not. He simply scowled and stared intently at Catelyn, as though he was trying to spot something on her face. Catelyn, on the other hand, did not cower and looked him right in the eyes.
After a long while, Cedrick sneered and turned to command the bodyguard, “Take the young master back to Mason Estate. Without my order, he isn’t allowed to step outside whatsoever. The bodyguard hurried away from the eye of the storm with Ollie in his arms and returned to the car. After that, Cedrick cast Catelyn a look and said, “Good for you.” The convoy made a dramatic exit, just like when they appeared. The car windows were made of special material and Ollie could look outside if he leaned against the window. His big, dark eyes were filled with tears as he placed both hands on the glass window, reluctant to leave. Catelyn sighed a long breath of relief as though she had barely escaped death. After all, she had just confronted Cedrick Mason! Catelyn watched as the black luxurious car drove away and, for some reason, felt overwhelmed by despair as the car disappeared, as though she had lost something. Beep, beep! Just then, her phone vibrated. She unlocked the screen and saw a message from an unknown number, with a photo that had Catelyn’s eyes widened in shock.
It was at the hospital she went to with Cedrick that afternoon; the two were making a turn at the corner and she happened to be holding Cedrick’s hand as they stepped into the elevator. Because of the angle to which the photo was taken, the two of them appeared to be standing very close to one another, with her cheek almost leaning against his shoulder in an intimate manner. Catelyn did not expect someone to secretly take a photo of her and Cedrick. Shortly after, the same number called in and the person on the other side of the line shouted aggressively, “Catelyn Clark, who is that guy?!” Catelyn, wary of the motive of the person who had taken the photo, was instantly alarmed. Unable to tell the person from his voice, she lowered her tone and asked,” Who are you?” The person fell silent for a moment, but when he spoke again, she could tell how he enunciated every word sarcastically, “You can’t recognize my voice after running into me a few days ago? It seems like you’re living the life out there in the past four years, Catelyn.” “Jamie Mason?” Catelyn scowled. Jamie’s tone was filled with contempt and sarcasm as he continued, “Of course, don’t care who you mess around with, but don’t forget that you’re raising my son. If you dare have my son call some guy his dad, don’t blame me for claiming custody over him!” Disgust filled Catelyn’s amber-colored eyes as she retorted, “Isn’t Louella pregnant with your child as well? Is she okay with you bringing Miles into the Mason family?”This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
