Chapter 91 Although Miles had accepted Ollie’s proposal to swap identities, it did not mean he accepted
Cedrick. He still held a grudge against the man for locking him up in a room.
Cedrick’s brows twitched as he scanned the child’s face before saying in a cold voice, “You’ve always
been a picky eater, so your food has been prepared specifically by the chef Albert hired. Will you be able
to eat the food that I don’t like?”
Miles clung to Catelyn’s leg as his jewel-like eyes glimmered. “A man who lacks emotions like you will
never understand that food tastes better in the company of a pretty woman.” It was the first time ever that
Cedrick was rendered speechless by his son, and he wondered whether his son truly knew the meaning
of what he had just said. “Alright, stop it, both of you.” Catelyn did not wish to see the two arguing over a
meal and squatted to look Miles in the eye. “Ollie, didn’t your dad help us just now?” Although he was
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtreluctant to admit it, Miles nodded before arguing weakly, “I would’ve been able to protect you just fine if
he didn’t show up.”
“Yes, I believe you, but…your father still helped us out. Besides, he’s the one who pays me, so it’s
normal that I should treat him to a meal. Can you be a bit more generous?” Catelyn comforted the child
patiently. “Just think of it as a small request from me.” The fact that Catelyn mentioned Cedrick helped
them’ pleased Miles because it meant that Catelyn and him were on the same side.
Miles jutted his rear and said to Cedrick impatiently, “Alright, then, I’ll let you eat with us.”
Cedrick did not think he needed permission from his son for a meal.
Catelyn did not want to calm the boy, only to see his father scowling. Thus, she offered Cedrick a smile.
“Master Cedrick, Ollie is just a child that’s not even four-year-old yet, so just let him be. Besides, didn’t
you say that you were hungry? Let’s go. There’s a Mexicaean restaurant, and the food there is
awesome. Can you two eat spicy food?” Cedrick scowled and glanced at the boy, but before he could
say anything, the boy leaped giddily as he exclaimed, “Yay, I love Mexicaean!”
“Really?” Catelyn was surprised. “My son likes Mexicaean food, too. He’d always complain that it’s not
spicy enough, though, and this restaurant is by far the most authentic one.”
“I like spicy food, too.” Cedrick’s brows furrowed. “How come I didn’t know you like spicy food?” Ollie had
always preferred milder tastes and would always suffer from stomach aches whenever he ate something
spicy, which was why the cook in Mason Estate would not dare use any ingredient that had a strong
taste.
Miles jutted his chin as he turned, showing Cedrick his back as he snorted, “Get used to it.”
With that, he took Catelyn’s hand and hurried toward the Mexicaean restaurant. Catelyn had taken him
there plenty of times, so he was familiar with where it was. It almost looked like he was the one taking
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCatelyn to a new restaurant instead. Catelyn was shocked at this. “Ollie, have you been here before?”
“Of course…not.”
“But you seem really familiar with the way, though.” Catelyn scanned the child suspiciously. Miles
scratched his head and said, “But this was the direction that you were pointing at, right?
“…” Catelyn realized that he was right. Nonetheless, she was amazed by how smart children were
nowadays. Cedrick’s eyes fixated on Catelyn and his son, and the frown on his face faded as he went
after them.
However, as soon as he stepped forward, he noticed something flashing somewhere. He paused and
glanced at a certain corner behind him..
The trees were moving under the wind, and it became apparent that someone was standing behind the
tree.
He sneered and took out his phone to call Eason. “Someone is stalking me. Go handle it.”
Catelyn thought that Ollie would take his mask off during the meal.
