Our Billion-Worth Twins by Velvet Antler

Chapter 18

 
Though Miles had countless thoughts of doubt, as a child, he immediately turned his attention to the thought of how worried his mother would be after he had been gone for so long. 

 

Shaking away the thoughts that swarmed his mind, he ran toward the door and banged on it furiously, causing the door to squeak as he yelled, “Open the door, let me out! I knew you guys are terrible people! 

“Come and fight me, you big demon! What kind of man are you to lock me up like this?! 

“Mommy…I—I miss you…” 

On the other side of the door, Albert choked on the words he meant to say to calm the boy. 

‘It seems that the young master misses his mother again. This certainly explains his behavior today, but…it’s unfortunate that the identity of his mother was an unresolved mystery here in Mason Estate,’ he solemnly thought to himself. 

… 

In Ocean Path Residence, on the fifth floor of the building, the family gathered around the table with only a few casual dishes. 

Ollie looked at the dishes and noticed how spicy they were from the red color and the enticing scent. However, he scowled wordlessly at the sight because he usually preferred milder flavors. 

“Why aren’t you eating?” Noticing that he did not even move, Stella asked, “Didn’t you say you’re hungry? Do you think Grandma’s cooking isn’t good enough now?” 

Ollie pursed his lips and ate one piece of fishcake; the spiciness of the seasoning instantly spread on his tongue. 

“It’s spicy…” 

He forced himself to swallow it and poked out his tongue. 

Noticing how flushed he was, Catelyn immediately poured him a glass of warm water and chuckled. “This is spicy? You always say that Grandma’s cooking isn’t spicy enough compared to that restaurant out the street.” 

Ollie paused mid-way as he was sipping the water, thinking, ‘Does this boy Miles like spicy food?’ 

“I guess Grandma’s cooking improved.”
