Chapter 463
Although he did not make it clear that he wanted the children’s custody, Cedrick had always been unpredictable, so he might change his mind at any point.
Hearing Catelyn’s breaths, he realized how the pent-up anger and sadness he felt before inexplicably dissipated.
“Are you still here?” Catelyn was baffled as to why Cedrick did not even say a thing. “Did you make the wrong call? I’ll hang up-”
“No, I didn’t,” came Cedrick’s response before she could hang up the phone.
His deep voice sounded vague in the dawn.
Even so, Catelyn tensed when she heard his voice. “What’s the matter? Why are you calling this early in the morning?”
“Can’t I call you even if I have nothing to say?” He sounded rather stiff and somewhat angry altogether.
“I thought you’d be quite busy.”
Catelyn was guessing that he was too bored and had spare time that he called her to talk about such a boring topic. The atmosphere turned awkward all of a sudden.

Cedrick was sitting in front of his desk with the black ring box on the table. He opened the box and looked at the ring attentively. The ring was created by her as an idea when she participated in the Chandier Jewelry Competition.
He pursed his pale lips and asked, “I’ll be back in two days. Is there anything you want as a gift?”
Catelyn thought he was talking about the two children as she answered naturally, “You can bring anything for Miles and Ollies. They won’t hate that.”
Then, the atmosphere became awkward again.
However, Catelyn could make out how Cedrick’s breathing quickened.
She immediately added after a short pause, “Miles recently likes to read books about space and technology, so you can buy some gifts in this regard. Ollie doesn’t care much; you can give him a toy model.”
She always wanted Ollie to retain a piece of his childishness.
Cedrick closed the ring box with a clack and asked quietly, “What about you?”
“Me?”
“You don’t have any gift you want?”
This caught her off-guard. “I have my loved ones by my side, and that’s all I can ever ask for. I’m fine. There’s nothing I need for now.”
He fell silent again, and this time, the silence remained for a good few seconds.
Just when Catelyn thought he would not answer anymore, he suddenly spoke, albeit in a hushed tone, “1 see. Wait for me to come back.”

Catelyn responded lightly. She stared at the screen of her phone that showed the call had ended, thinking about the conversation they had just had.
Her drowsiness had vanished at this point. She looked into the distance in silence and thought, ‘Did he

call this early in the morning just to ask what gift I want?’

He surely would not let go of it so easily.
Later on, Catelyn prepared breakfast for the two kids, then went to a supermarket for milk powder-they were running low on that.
The two children were premature babies, so she needed to make sure they drank powdered milk every day.
At first, Ollie did not like it.
The obedient boy was particularly stubborn about drinking milk. Because of that, Catelyn even bought milk powder for women to drink with him, just so she could coax him to drink milk.
On her way, however, she received a text from Ivan.
Surprisingly, he had lost his arrogant manner and sounded polite in the text. He was asking her to go to the company in the afternoon.
Because Catelyn did not receive any notification beforehand, she had to rush to the company.
When she arrived in the office, she heard her colleagues gossiping about the design director having chosen her model.
