Chapter 122 It was the same porridge as the one Maia had ordered when she came by, and it tasted just
the same. With spring onions on top as garnish, it looked delectably appetizing. Miles was hungry, sure,
but he could not give in to Cedrick Cedrick seemed to have seen it through him before he snickered and
walked away. Even though Ollie had given him quite a fair bit of trouble recently, he somehow found his
son… adorable.
Miles took a deep breath of relief after he left. His gemstone-like eyes blinked as he said, “I’d like to eat,
Grandpa Albert.” “Alright, Young Master Ollie. Here, Grandpa Albert will feed you.” Albert was always
soft-hearted toward him.
On the other hand, Catelyn was suing Queenie for breaking into her home illegally.
With Queenie taken away by the police, Jamie had arranged for a lawyer to speak to Catelyn, wishing to

condition that Jamie Mason would never show up in her life again. Perhaps Jamie took the memo,
however, as he no longer popped up into her life for a long time.
Blissfully, Catelyn took the time to complete her draft design before she sent it to Chandler Jewelry’s
design competition mailbox, waiting to be shortlisted after three weeks.
Since she was done with the draft, Catelyn invited Stella and Ollie to have a meal outside. Catelyn was
impressed that her son was even more well-mannered than herself.
“Miles, did you not hate table manners and protocols the most? You always thought that they were a little
extra,” asked Stella smilingly.
Miles was a little foodie. He loved food and appreciated them, but he never liked to be confined to some
customs.
Ollie placed down his cutlery elegantly. Ever since he was born, he was taught to be mindful of his
appearance every time he stepped into a restaurant.
He pursed his tiny lips and said, “Well, the books said that kids learn the fastest at my age.” Did he mean
that if he saw someone sitting up straight, he would imitate, too? Catelyn laughed softly and slid her
finger down his tiny nose. “We’re only here occasionally. You can just be yourself, and you don’t have to
worry too much about it! All that matters is that you enjoy the meal.”
Ollie’s straight back hunched slightly after Catelyn spoke, but only for a brief moment before

Catelyn had this feeling that someone was always watching her, but she looked around and did not find
the source of the gaze. She thought she was being oversensitive. However, when they were finally done
and were about to leave… Catelyn saw a black car parked across the road, and inside which was a man,
leaning against the headrest. A cigarette was clipped between Jamie’s fingers as he watched her closely.
“Bring Miles home, Mom,” said Catelyn to Stella. Ollie picked up Catelyn’s hand and volunteered, “Why
don’t I keep you company, Mommy?” “I’ll be back soon, don’t worry.” Catelyn smiled at her son and had
Stella take him home. It was only after they had walked past the traffic light that she turned and crossed
the road. As expected, Jamie was waiting for her the whole time. There were already a few cigarette
butts by Jamie’s feet, too. This was the first time that Jamie had a closer look at Catelyn ever since they
reunited. It seemed as though age was kind to her. Not only did she not seem to have aged one bit, but
she looked even more mature and alluring.
Catelyn was born pretty and grew up pretty. She also grew up in the lap of a wealthy family, and it was
such a glorious time. Jamie recalled how he had courted her relentlessly before, just for a chance to
marry her.
