Chapter 355 Catelyn felt something pierce through her heart as she throbbed in pain. It was summer and
there was no wind, but she felt a bone-chilling air rushing over her, sinking into her skin. She shuddered.
That pendant was that important, huh?
‘Take good care of it. You can’t afford to lose it.’
Cedrick was right; she would never be able to find him another one if she were to lose his mother’s relic
that she had left for him.
‘But why didn’t he just tell me?’
Cedrick was not present during the meal, which meant only Janice, Javier, and Ollie were there. Javier
was talkative as usual, not once stopping even after they sat down, but he never really looked at nor
acknowledged Catelyn either.

This did not bother Catelyn, however, as she continued having her meal. In the middle of the meal,
Catelyn gave Ollie a knowing glance, and the boy immediately got up from his seat and said that he
needed to go to the washroom.
“I’ll come with you.” Javier put his cutleries down and volunteered to follow.
Ollie pouted. “I’m not a three-year-old anymore,” he grumbled. “I can use the washroom by myself.”
“You’re only slightly over three!” Javier smirked and continued, “Could it be that you’re afraid that your
uncle is going to see your weewee?”
Catelyn thought that the conversation would end there, but Ollie widened his jewel-like eyes and nodded.
“Of course! Only my Mommy is allowed to see.”
“Pft! Your Mommy could be dead already.”
Catelyn’s hand quivered.
Ollie’s expression froze at this before fury overtook him as he shot a heated stare at Javier.” Apologize.
Apologize to my mother right now! She’s not dead, so don’t ever say that again!”
“Little Ollie, I -“!
“I’ll never call you my uncle anymore if you don’t apologize!” Ollie was determined, asserting himself with
his gaze.
Javier knew that even though Ollie was young, he was a child with strong beliefs. Javier scratched his
head and looked at Catelyn, embarrassed at being scolded by a child in front of
her
Catelyn cleared her throat and tugged at Ollie’s hand. “Alright, now. Didn’t you want to go to the
washroom? Let’s go together.”

Ollie pouted and glared angrily at Javier before spreading his arms out toward Catelyn with sparkly eyes
as if asking to be carried.
Javier was shocked at the stark difference between how Ollie treated him and Catelyn. The pair pushed
the wooden door carved with intricate patterns, and Catelyn pulled Ollie over to an obscure corner.
Ollie mentally prepared himself as he knew his mother had something important to talk to him about.
Still, it had not even been a month yet.
If it was not about exchanging identities with Miles, what else could it be?
“Ollie, are you willing to leave the country with Miles and I?” asked Catelyn, answering Ollie’s thoughts.
Ollie froze upon hearing this question. His large round eyes widened as he stared blankly at Catelyn.
“What do you mean by… leaving the country?”
‘Is Mommy leaving? What about me? What about my father? Haven’t they gotten along well all this
while?’
