Our Billion-Worth Twins

Chapter 95

Chapter 95 “Just picked your son up from school, Catelyn?” “My, your son is so cute! I have some vegetables here that are fresh out of the farm. You want some?”

The old man at the butcher shop across from them saw Catelyn and Ollie and called out to them as usual, “Miles, come to Grandpa Santos. I’ll chop some meat for you!”

Ollie hesitated and contemplated whether he should go to the man. Catelyn finished buying the vegetables she needed and brought Miles to the butcher shop with a smile. “Grandpa Santos, give me the usual ribs.” “Sure thing.” The old man chopped up a piece of ribs and placed it on the electronic scale to weigh it, before making a face in Ollie’s direction. It was apparent that the old man was close with Miles.

“Oh? Why isn’t Miles smiling at Grandpa Santos today?” NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

Whenever he made faces at Miles, the boy would often pretend to be an adult and shake his head proudly. Today, however, the boy was only looking back at him quietly. Ollie pursed his lips and greeted sweetly, “Hello, Grandpa Santos.” “Your boy is growing more and more mature,” Grandpa Santos complimented and handed the packed ribs to Catelyn. “That’s thirty-two dollars fifty cents, but just give me thirty. The little guy needs the nutrition. He’s born prematurely, so he needs to eat more to catch up…”

“Absolutely not. You’re running a business here, and I can’t take advantage of you.” Catelyn took out the exact amount of money from her pocket and paid Santos 32.50 dollars. Grandpa Santos did not refuse and made another face at Ollie, and Ollie forced out a smile in response.

‘Miles…likes weird things,’Ollie thought to himself. ‘But didn’t that old man mention that Miles was born prematurely? Hmm…so was I.’ Catelyn and Ollie stepped out of the market, and the air instantly felt lighter and fresher. Ollie offered to help carry the groceries, and Catelyn gave him one of the bags with

vegetables that was considerably lighter. Still, considering how tiny Ollie was, he had to hold it with both his arms against his chest.

“Mom, my classmate Benny from kindergarten has a really cute younger brother who looks like him. I want an older or a younger brother so I can have someone to play with,” he said in an innocent tone.

Catelyn’s slim, long lashes quivered as sorrow took over her heart. She could not help but tighten her grip around Ollie’s hand as she muttered, “You did have an older brother before, Miles, but…he wasn’t so lucky like you were,” she explained, her voice faltering.

“What happened?” Ollie solemnly asked.

Catelyn thought back to when she fell off the steep stairs, to the time when blood seeped out of her body. “It’s in the past. I don’t really remember.”

“Try to think harder…” Ollie pleaded. He desperately wanted to know why he and Miles looked so much alike, and he even wondered if he was related to Catelyn somehow.

Tears welled up in Catelyn’s eyes and her vision was blurred, but she swiftly turned around to wipe her tears away.

The curious expression on Ollie’s face froze. He frantically tried to wipe Catelyn’s tears away with his sleeves and said, “Why are you crying, Mom? I’m sorry. I talked too much and made you cry. Don’t cry. I won’t ask about it again…” “It’s not your fault. I just remembered something sad from the past.”
