While Catelyn and Maia ran into one another, Miles also happened upon a man he had not seen in years. 

Getting bored while waiting for his mother, he went over to the child department for a walk, but then he overheard a cringy conversation coming from past the rack. 

“Darling, do you think our baby is going to be a boy or a girl?” 

The man wrapped his arm around the woman’s waist and in a seductive voice, he endearingly cooed, “I’m happy with either, as long as you’re the mother.” 

“That sweet tongue of yours!” The woman said while hitting the man’s firm chest playfully. “The Mason family is developing swiftly right now, so my future mother-in-law would probably prefer a boy to inherit the family business…” 

Miles shivered and thought, ‘Ew, grown-ups are so gross.’ 

He curled his lips into a pout and moved to leave, only to accidentally see the faces of the couple through the gaps between clothes. He tripped and came close to losing balance.
