Catelyn visibly relaxed at the sound of the familiar sweet voice.
Ollie pursed his lips with a mature look that did not suit a child his age. ‘Mom doesn’t want to leave
Father either, right?’
Two days later, all online platforms and all screens across every street were broadcasting the news of
the union between the Mason and Clark families.
Catelyn had thought that she would feel hurt when she learned the news, but she was unexpectedly
calm and numb. After all, she had already bought her flight ticket and planned to leave Sapphire City
on Cedrick’s wedding day. ‘From now on, we’re just strangers, Cedrick Mason,’ she thought. Joanne
came to the airport to send them off. “Mom, are we really leaving Ollie?” Ollie clung onto Catelyn’s leg

Catelyn struggled to suppress the sorrow within him and said, “Miles, I know that you don’t want to part
with Ollie as well, but…he’s already made his choice. I promise that we’ll sneak back to see him when
we have the chance, okay?”
Knowing that the sweet, innocent act would not work any longer, Ollie nodded and followed Catelyn
quietly.
Joanne watched as they went through the security check and gave Catelyn a big hug before they went.
She then crouched and pointed at her cheek while looking at Ollie. “This is farewell to your godmother
now, Miles. I just hate seeing you leave so much. I feel so sad whenever I remember the fact that I
won’t be able to hold such an adorable boy in my arms from now on.
“C’mon, give me a kiss.”
Ollie scratched his head shyly as he pecked Joanne’s cheek lightly. Joanne flung her arms around him
as she struggled to keep her tears from scrolling down her cheeks.
Ollie suddenly pursed his lips. “Mommy, I want to use the bathroom.”
With one hand on the luggage, Catelyn offered, “I’ll come with you.”
“It’s alright. You should spend some time talking to Godmother. I can go alone,” he insisted before
trotting off awkwardly, as he had never run in public like Miles did.
A lump formed in Catelyn’s throat as she watched the boy disappear into the crowd.
She was finally leaving the city that she had spent the past 20 years in.
“Joanne, please look after my mother.”
Catelyn, after all, had not mentioned a word of her plan to escape to Stella. “I know, don’t worry. So
long as I’m around, I won’t let anything happen to her.”

lifted her high enough.” It was not a funny metaphor, but Joanne forced a smile regardless. “You’re
leaving now, so I won’t say too much. I wish you all the best. Find a man that’s better-looking, richer,
and taller than Cedrick Mason in Milarn, then bring him back to show Cedrick what he lost!”
‘How dare he abandon his child and woman to marry Maia?’ was what she thought but refrained from
saying out loud. Catelyn smiled bitterly. She did not know if she had the courage to fall in love with
another person after Cedrick.
Just then, her phone rang. She thought that it was the airline notifying her about her flight, thus casually
unlocked her phone. A second later, she turned pale as her blood ran cold. On her phone was the
photo of Miles being carried into a car by someone with his mouth covered
Her hand trembled, and the luggage fell to the ground. Joanne hastily steadied her and said, “Look,
there’s an additional message.”
