Our Billion-Worth Twins

Chapter 256

Chapter 256 Stella had spotted Catelyn wrapped in a blanket, sitting on the passenger seat of a luxurious black car. Her eyes twinkled in anticipation as she strode toward them, gently running her fingers across the car’s sleek side. “Mom?” Catelyn’s eyelids twitched upon seeing her mother as she tightened her grip on the blanket instinctively. Stella peeled her eyes away from the car unwillingly and turned toward Catelyn, whose face seemed deathly pale. “Goodness!” she gasped. “Why do you look so pale?”

“I have a cold, and Mister Mason here sent me back” Catelyn thought for a moment before deciding to get out of the car as she pulled on the handle. Stella caught her arms as she observed the man behind the wheels.

That was the first time Cedrick had seen Stella.

He got out of the car and nodded politely at her. “Good evening, Missus Clark” Stella gulped in a thirstful manner and smiled brightly as she reached her hands out to him passionately. “Mister Mason? You’re the owner of the mansion that Catelyn hand designed, yes? What an honor! Catelyn had said a lot of good things about you.”

“It’s my pleasure.” Cedrick responded politely and shook her hand before adding, “Catelyn has been feeling unwell, so please take care of her from here.” “Of course!” Stella smiled so brightly her eyes had turned into lines. “Why don’t you come in and have a cup of tea, Mister Mason? Look at you; you’re all drenched as well…” Before Cedrick could say anything, Catelyn retorted like a cat that had its tail pulled, “Mom, Master Cedrick is busy with work. It’s too late for him to come in, anyway.” “How is it too late? He took his time out to send you home, so we should at least invite him in for a cup of tea! On top of that, it’s not like I’m asking you to be alone with him in the house. Both Miles and I will be there, too.” Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Catelyn was speechless. Miles being there was exactly the reason why Cedrick could not be invited into the house! Cedrick’s eyes squinted sharply. It puzzled him why Catelyn was so against him going into the house.

That intrigued him even more.

“If you insist, Missus Clark.” ‘What happened to the cold, unfriendly Cedrick Mason?’ thought Catelyn. Panicking, she took out her phone and texted Miles immediately, asking him to take cover in the neighbor’s house next door.

Catelyn had always been friendly with her next door neighbor, so it should not be a problem for Miles to hide in there for a short while.

However, there was no reply from Miles. Catelyn wondered if he even saw the message. It was getting late, so he could be sleeping already.

When they finally arrived by the door, Stella took the keys out and opened the door. They were immediately greeted by the flowery scent of gardenias. Catelyn had Cedrick wait in the living room and had Stella take care of him. With the excuse of changing her clothes, she quickly sneaked into the master’s bedroom. Stella was more than happy to tend to Cedrick, of course. After all, Cedrick was like a pot of gold for her!

Catelyn, on the other hand, thought of nothing else but Miles at that moment.

Did Miles see the text and sneaked out to the neighbor’s house, or had he fallen asleep without seeing the text? Catelyn had to know, and fast. The moment she pushed open the door, she was greeted by a small lump on the bed.

It was obvious to her that Miles had not seen the text!

“Mommy, you’re home!” Miles rubbed his tired eyes upon hearing the door open. He was exhausted from a whole day’s trip and was sound asleep before being woken up.
