“Actually, I…” Ollie hesitantly attempted to explain. 

 

“Miles, where did you get those clothes you are wearing?” Catelyn asked abruptly, interjecting him. 

Ollie’s eyes widened, and he felt his heart drop to his stomach when he realized she was suspecting the clothes he was wearing. 

Catelyn circled to the boy’s back and flipped his collar outward, only to find the Banpoint label. It was a french children-wear luxury brand that emphasized on both modesty and glamor. 

Ollie cursed inwardly when Catelyn slowly bent down and asked, “Did Jamie Mason buy this for you?” 

“Jamie Mason?” He thought, ‘That’s probably the man I saw Catelyn arguing with.’ 

“Yeah, that’s him,” he said. 

“That’s weird. He was just scolding you earlier, so why would he buy you clothes now?” Catelyn was confused as to how it could happen within the short period she went to retrieve the model. 

Ollie’s eyes darted away. “I…don’t know what he’s thinking as well.” 

“Whatever. At least he’s willing to fulfill some responsibility as a father.” Catelyn scanned him from head to toe and decided not to be bothered by it after confirming he was her son. “Anything else happened while I was gone?” 

Ollie opened his pick lips slightly and said, “Nothing, but I’m a bit hungry.” 

“Grandma should have dinner ready by now. Let’s go home, or we’re going to miss the bus.” She lifted him with one arm and hurried over to the nearest bus station. 

The sudden proximity and the feeling of his feet leaving the ground had Ollie frowning, but soon, he relaxed at the warmth that he had never felt before. 

Could this be what a mother’s embrace felt like? 

Catelyn smelt like gardenia, just like Maia, but Catelyn’s scent was better and more natural, so he preferred her.
