Chapter 800
'Could it be that the man betrayed her, so my aunt was too ashamed to come back to the
family?'
It was all a mystery, and it seemed like Edwin needed to dig into his family's history of the past
20 years to unearth everything.
All the while, Catelyn had only been thinking about calling Elder Mason to inquire about her
father's whereabouts. She did not notice that Edwin was staring at her.
As soon as she returned to Shoal Villa, Miles sprinted toward her with his tiny legs. His short
hands tightly wrapped around her legs, and he rubbed his chubby face against her knees.
"Mommy, Mommy!"
Catelyn was taken aback as she never expected to see Miles.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtFeeling as though something was lodged in her throat, she squatted and hugged the boy tightly.
"How could you leave me like that? That's unforgivable! If you do that again, I'll find a new
mother!" Miles, despite obviously grieving and sobbing, sounded endearing all the same.
Catelyn felt upset, but she did not cry. "How did you get here? You should return to Daddy..."
"The Big Demon hit me. I don't want to be with him!" said Miles aggrievedly, his eyes filled with tears. "You said that
we'd never be separated again... I'll be obedient in the future, so please don't leave me!”
Catelyn wiped the tears from the boy’s eyes. "I'm sorry. Forgive Mommy. I have no choice..."
"What do you mean? Where are you going? Just take me with you!"
"It's not that easy, honey. I can't take you with me."
Miles could not understand all the entanglement and vendetta between the adults. After all, he was just a child who
was about to turn four.
"Why can't you take me with you? You just want to leave me and Ollie here, don't you? We could escape to Franche
together like last time!"
"This time is different." Catelyn tried to push Miles away gently as her nose turned sour. "Mommy has to leave you
and Daddy for now, but trust me: As long as I find a way to solve the problem, I’ll be back again.”
"How long?" Miles' melodic voice came out of his throat.
No matter how hard Catelyn tried to pry off his hands, he still hugged her tightly and refused to let go.
Catelyn swayed, afraid of hurting the child. She did not dare to exert force, so she could only repeat, "Soon, very
soon. I promise..."
"Lies. You're lying again! If you knew, you’d tell me in detail instead of skirting around your answers. You're not
mentally prepared, are you? I don’t want it!
"If you let me go to the Big Demon, I’ll go on a hunger strike or even jump off a building. I refuse to separate from
you!"
"Don't be like this, Miles. Don't you always say that you're not a three-year-old child anymore? You're already a

"Miles, you have to let Mommy go, alright?"
'Why is Miles here? Why did you send him here? You knew I couldn't bear it, didn’t you?’
Catelyn tried her best to hold back her tears, but the tears fell down her cheeks as she lost
control.
Drop after drop, it hit the back of the child’s tiny hand.
Miles also started to cry bitterly, and the more he cried, the more miserable he became.
He started to mumble, admitting his fragility and panic, "I'm only four years old, so I am still a
kid! Kids are all unreasonable, so I won't leave..."
"You've become disobedient, haven't you?" said Catelyn sharply.
Miles bit his lip, and his shoulders trembled.
Joanne could not stand it any longer. "Cat, just keep Miles with you, please. He isn't used to
losing his mother suddenly."
"But I'm afraid—"
"Maybe we could make a phone call! No one can be that inhumane.” Joanne could not see Miles
crying so painfully, so she took out her phone, intending to call the stubborn Elder Mason.
