Chapter 803
Catelyn walked in with an elated smile on her face.
Miles immediately jumped up and ran to her, clinging to her index finger and clenching it tightly. "Mommy, please
don't send me back."
"We're not going anywhere." Catelyn leaned forward and kissed her son’s cheek. "Why would Mommy be willing to
send you away?

"Really?" hesitated Miles. "Will you wait until I fall asleep and secretly send me back to Big Demon?"
"Let's have a scoop of ice cream, shall we?"
Miles's eyes immediately lit up, and he rubbed his cheek against Catelyn's.
Edwin's eyebrows raised as he asked, "Is there a story about a scoop of ice cream?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhen Joanne heard that Catelyn was not going to send Miles back, she sighed relievedly and explained delightfully,
"Miles loves ice cream, but having too much of it is not good for his health. So, Cat promised him that she'll take
him to have ice cream twice a month if he behaves well, and the phrase gradually became a secret password
between the two."
"Is it that fun to raise a son?" Edwin rubbed his jaw, thinking of something.
Joanne nodded with vigor. "Yes, yes! Especially raising a prodigy. That's the most interesting thing ever. Do you
know that when Miles was still a baby, I bought him a dummy, but he threw it away angrily, and I had to secretly put
it back in his mouth..."
Edwin glanced at her excitedly telling the story. "You're quite funny."
"That's mainly because Miles was so cute back then! You won't understand..."
Miles nestled in Catelyn's arms, blushed, and said weakly, " Godmother, why do you always embarrass me in front
of others?"
"Well, when you grow up and have a wife of your own, I'll tell your wife this story. I'll say it for a lifetime," Joanne
said with a smile.
Miles buried his face in Catelyn's shoulder in disgust, turning the back of his little head to her.
Joanne giggled even more at the sight, yet she could not fend off the looming sadness internally.
She knew Elder Mason would never let Catelyn go. A short reunion might be a long parting.
Soon, the butler reported to them that the meal was ready.
Everyone got to the table. Even Miles regained his strength and began to gobble down all the food on the dining
table.
Joanne and he were both foodies. They kept stuffing their mouths with the cooked food in the Nigerian pepper soup.
A lustrous, oily glow appeared on the corners of their mouths, dyeing their mouths bright red and shiny.
Catelyn did not allow Miles to eat too much and instead took him to wash his dirtied hands.
Edwin saw Joanne eating mouthfuls without caring about her image, and he could not help worrying that marrying
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmher would embarrass him in the future. So, he cast a sidelong glance at her. " Can't you be more elegant when you
eat?"
Joanne raised her eyelids. "I'm elegant already."
Edwin did not respond to her but moved his gaze to her fingers instead, she was holding food with her bare hands,
and her fingertips were covered in red oil.
Joanne thought he wanted to take away her food, so she quickly stuffed the last piece of lamb in the Nigerian
pepper soup into her mouth and murmured, "I've washed my hands, and eating is a very enjoyable thing, so why
can't I enjoy my food?"
"Because the way you eat disgusted me."
Joanne's eyelids drooped. "We are people from two worlds. Your ideal wife is a gentlewoman, and a woman like that
won't be as rude and rude as me. Though, I never said that I perfectly meet your requirements. My mother
abandoned me when I was very young, and my father didn't deem me his daughter.
"Whenever my aunt got angry, she'd starve me and wouldn't allow me to eat. Therefore, in my eyes, being able to
eat is a thing to be grateful for. The most important thing is that if you can't stand it, don't look at me.
"There's also another solution to it. As long as you don't sue me, we can part ways."
Joanne thought she must have knocked her head that time when she agreed to marry Edwin.
