Chapter 56
Catelyn sneezed, triggered by her cold and the scent of the roses at hand. She immediately covered her
mouth and coughed a few times; the last thing she wanted was to infect the boy with her cold.
The concerned Ollie tugged at the hem of Catelyn’s shirt and sweetly asked, “Are you unwell, Aunty
Catelyn?”
“I’m okay, just a little cold.”
“You can call me Ollie or Little Ollie-just not ‘Young Master’, please” Ollie followed closely behind Catelyn
as he then carefully retrieved a paper shaped into a heart and gave it to Catelyn. “I have another gift for
you. I hope you like it!”
Catelyn looked at the beautiful handmade origami, her heart felt full and warm.
How adorable. This was better than the bouquet!

Still, this was the first time she met Ollie, was it not? How was he so good at this? Was this hereditary?
Cedrick did not look like the type to make his first move when it came to girls. On the contrary, he looked
like the type to wait for the woman to strike up an effort first! “You don’t like it?” asked Ollie warily, seeing
as Catelyn did not accept the gift.
Cately quickly accepted the paper heart and patted his head lovingly, saying, “It’s so beautiful, and you
made it for me, Ollie. Of course I’d love it! Thank you so much, Little Ollie.”
“You’re welcome.” Ollie smiled bashfully, his little inky eyes bubbling with hearts. However, with the
sunglasses covering his eyes, Catelyn could not see just how he adored her with his gaze.
Coincidentally, Cedrick had just returned with another designer, George Graham, and was greeted by the
scene of Ollie and Catelyn looking into each other’s eyes lovingly.
The roses in Catelyn’s hands were a sight for sore eyes. Cedrick’s face sank. He did not even bother
wiping off the wet patch on his shoulders caused by the rain.
“Carrying flowers to work, I see. Are you here to show off or to work?” Catelyn smiled politely and
explained, “I didn’t bring any flowers to work with me. These were gifted to me by Little Ollie.”
‘See? Your son is much more adorable and mature than you are!’ thought Catelyn to herself smugly,
vowing that she would do her utmost best on this project for Ollie.
“Little Ollie?” Cedrick looked at Ollie, confused.
Ollie might have looked adorable on the outside, but he had always been cold and stoic.
He had never liked it when Maia referred to him as ‘Little Ollie’, so why would he allow Catelyn to call him
that?
“Father, that’s my gift for Aunty Catelyn, and I also requested for her to call me that. It’s more friendly,
isn’t it?” said Ollie defensively, aware of how Cedrick disliked Catelyn. He then stood in front of Catelyn,
shielding her like a hen would protect its chicks from predators.

Ollie had always been an obedient and mature child, but when it came to anything about Catelyn, he
would become unreasonable.
“It’s just a nickname. If Master Cedrick is displeased, I’ll just refer to him as the young master. ” Catelyn
sensed how the atmosphere had turned rather hostile and immediately tried to rectify the situation. The
last thing she wanted was for the pair to quarrel because of her.
“No way! It sounds too proper.” ollie pouted as he rubbed his head against Catelyn’s pant leg like a
puppy afraid of being abandoned.
Catelyn could not deny how her heart melted at the gesture, yet it was their first meeting, nonetheless.
Was being proper wrong? Catelyn was struggling to understand the situation. At that moment, a breeze
blew against her hair lightly. Accompanied by the thunder and the sound of rain, her face was flushed in
a light crimson, her eyes clear as crystals. Ollie was completely mesmerized by her.
