After a moment of awkward silence, Stella hurried over to hug Miles and attempted to convince him, saying, “Miles, think about it: If Mommy marries into a wealthy family, you’ll be a high-born! Not only can you stay in a big house, but you’ll have a lot of toys, too.” 

“I’m not a three-year-old anymore. I don’t need a big house nor a lot of toys.” Miles wiggled his way out of Stella’s arms before moving the chair across Catelyn, gesturing her to come with a flattering expression on his soft, round face. “Sit here, Big Kitty, I want a hug.” 

“Tsk! This little troublemaker is so hard to impress. Don’t forget that I’m the one who kept you company when it was thundering a few days ago when your mom was away on a business trip!” Stella pretended to be offended. 

Catelyn bent down to hold Miles and rubbed her cheek against his. Miles had always been afraid of thunder and would always need someone with him to calm down when the sky rumbled. 

“Were you scared that night during the thunderstorm?” 

An awkward yet slightly frustrated expression appeared on his face. He would not fear any longer once he grew up, so he replied smugly, “Soon, I’ll be a man!” 

Catelyn rubbed his hair. “Of course, it’s only a matter of time. Come eat, and once you’re done, Mommy will bathe you.”
