Chapter 447 Cedrick moved smoothly without a pause, and Miles rolled his eyes at him.
‘Is Big Demon really doing that? How childish!’ he scoffed internally.
Catelyn, still holding a spatula in her hand, went back into the kitchen when she confirmed that nothing bad had happened.
Ollie studied Cedrick intently and remarked, “Father, that’s rude.”
“If you still remember that I’m your senior, you should shut up.” Cedrick moved to sit on Catelyn’s seat. There was a soft, pink cushion on the chair as it was almost winter, so he could tell it was hers right away.
Ollie frowned, doubting if the man was truly the Cedrick Mason he knew.

Miles struggled to stay awake, hoping to chase Cedrick out, but Catelyn coaxed them into sleeping out of fear of a ticking time bomb like Cedrick.
Soon, the two fell asleep on the couch. Catelyn gently lifted Miles and headed into the bedroom. Cedrick glanced at Ollie and picked him up as well, before following Catelyn’s lead.
Catelyn set Miles onto the bed and pulled the blanket to the side, pointing at the space next to Miles.” Place him there.”
Miles and Ollie slept soundly next to one another, and Catelyn helped to take off their jackets, revealing the adorable pajamas they were wearing underneath. She covered them with the blanket and lowered her head to plant kisses on their foreheads.
A strand of hair draped over Miles’ face.
“Mommy, don’t leave me,” Miles mumbled, causing Catelyn’s heart to soften in an instant.
She would never leave them.
She got up and noticed Cedrick leaning against the door and staring at her intently, so she closed the lights and said, “Let’s go outside to talk.”
Without the two children, the living room seemed eerily quiet.
“Where am I sleeping tonight?” Cedrick’s husky voice echoed in the room. Catelyn gaped and stared at him in confusion. “I don’t have a spare room for you. Are you staying?”
Although they stayed in a residential area, it was still a two-bedroom apartment with one study room and one bedroom, so there was no extra room.
Cedrick unbuttoned his suit jacket and his shirt before continuing with a tone that left no space for rejection, “It’s been a month and a half since last saw my sons. I miss them. If you insist on making me leave in the middle of the night, I can’t promise that I won’t hire Benjamin to get me their custody so that I can see them anytime I want.”
Catelyn was enraged that Cedrick had, yet again, threatened her. Biting her lower lip, she hissed, “You’re sleeping on the couch if you want to stay!”
“Isn’t there another room?” He took off his jacket, and the defined muscles of his upper body came into sight.

Catelyn gritted her teeth and turned away from him. “That’s my room, and there’s only a single bed…”
“A single bed will be enough.” He removed all the clothes and started unbuckling his belt.
Catelyn clenched her fists at the sound and inhaled deeply to suppress her urge to scream. She desperately did not want to wake up her sons.
“Fine, you take the bedroom. I’ll sleep on the couch,” she said and went to take her blanket from the bedroom.
“What are you getting all worked up for? It’s not like I’m going to fight you over a single bed. Alright, just go grab me towels and things to wash up with.”
