Chapter 407
Miles huffed in fury as he bitterly stared into Cedrick’s eyes. At this point, gone was his respect and the
faint attachment he had for Cedrick.
All he had left for him was doubt and disdain.
“You’ve hurt Mommy. I’ll never forgive you ever again!” spat Miles as he swung his tiny fist. Before it
could even reach Cedrick, however, he felt his collar being grabbed as Cedrick lifted him.
The boy never stood a chance against a fully grown man.
Thus, he felt his body lifted off the ground as Cedrick pulled him up by the collar. His limbs flailed

He was starting to get out of breath as he was lifted by his collar, and his face flushed in deep crimson.
‘Argh! Why are my arms so short?! I want to slap this evil Big Demon on his face for Mommy! I can’t
forgive him for hurting Mommy! ‘He even split Mommy’s lips! What an evil, evil demon!’ The more Miles
struggled, the lesser the air in his lungs became. He was slowly losing his breath. Everything was
getting blurry, and he was even seeing doubles.
Just when he thought he was going to pass out… Thomp! Catelyn hit Cedrick’s back with a wooden
bat. While it did not deal any significant blow, it was enough to hurt Cedrick. He turned and glared at
her incredulously as though mocking her for hitting him. Catelyn shuddered as she met his venomous
glare, but there was no turning back once something was done. She could not watch her son being
harmed!
Did he not notice how the boy was having trouble breathing?! Miles was finally able to catch a breath
while Cedrick and Catelyn were caught in a staredown.
At that moment, he immediately recalled a move he had seen on the television.
Slap! The boy slapped Cedrick with both his hands. As if that was not enough, Miles started kicking his
face with his tiny legs before Cedrick could react to the slaps. Cedrick did not feel much pain from all of
that. Compared to the pain he felt in his back, that was nothing.
However…

“Ollie Mason, have you lost your mind?!” Cedrick let go of Miles’ collar, causing the boy to fall on the
floor. Catelyn’s eyes widened as she tossed the bat aside and rushed to catch her son. The boy was
trying to catch his breath when Catelyn uttered hurriedly to him, “Cedrick is angry. Run, quickly! Don’t
worry about me!” Miles looked at the demonic Cedrick and at Catelyn once more, his eyes filled with
tears as he picked himself up and ran.
He had to stop slowing down his mother!
Cedrick spotted how Miles was running away and went to chase after him, but Catelyn quickly wound
her arms tightly around his waist from behind to stop him. Cedrick began to pry off her fingers from him
so roughly that she felt her hands aching terribly.
‘No… I can’t let him go after Miles!’ Cedrick turned around, his face covered with the dark outlines of
Miles’ shoe print.
