Our Billion-Worth Twins by Velvet Antler novel Chapter 227

Chapter 227 The sudden change of topic caught Catelyn by surprise.

She was quiet for a brief moment before saying, “You suggested that I become his stepmother. Naturally, I’d want to foster some kind of relationship. If you send Ollie to his grandmother’s, we might not be as close with each other in the future.”

“I can see that you already have a good relationship with him.” Better than that with his own father.

Cedrick looked at her pensively, then said, “Stay over tonight.”

Tonight?

Catelyn’s eyes widened as her cheeks grew pinkish. “I’m on my period…”

Cedrick’s expression stiffened. “I was only suggesting that you keep my son company. What do you think I was implying? You thought I wanted to sleep with you?” “…” Catelyn’s face was as red as an apple at this point.

Panicking, she tried to excuse herself by saying she wanted to check on his son. However, Cedrick pulled her back as soon as she stood up, and she, losing her balance, tumbled into Cedrick’s chest, her forehead accidentally knocking on his neck. Her heart was racing as they looked at each other in silence. There was an indescribable sexual tension between them.

Catelyn was worried that Miles would be back any minute and quickly stood up, but Cedrick held her in place on his lap. “Cedrick, your son could be back any time soon,” reasoned an embarrassed Catelyn.

Heck, Cedrick even told him that his mother was dead when she was very much alive!

Catelyn’s initial intention was to get off Cedrick’s cuddle, but she suddenly snapped when she imagined Ollie bumping into them, so she took one big bite into his arm. She even subconsciously exerted a little more force than necessary. Cedrick felt acute pain shooting up from his arm but did not pull away from Catelyn. He clenched his fingers into his fist, and his biceps flexed. Catelyn’s facial muscles were sore from the biting. “Does my arm taste good?” he asked casually, much to Catelyn’s chagrin as she blushed. She flung his arm away and was even more enraged. “It’s salty and hard. There’s no taste to it. Heck, even roadside skewers would taste better than this!” “I have something else for you to eat. Do you want it?” Cedrick was still nonchalant, but Catelyn understood the underlying meaning of it. This jerk was teasing her!

Miles was back, but he could sense the tension in the air. Cedrick was looking at his mother like a predator, as though he was planning to eat her whenever he had the chance.

Miles stretched his neck and shouted, “Aunt Catelyn, I want to eat cake!” Catelyn was worried that he would get cavities in his teeth, so she rarely bought cakes for him. She would usually bake cakes for him with lower sugar content instead. “You should cut down on your dessert intake.” Cedrick was starting to feel the boy was getting in his way a little too often.
