Chapter 121 Ollie had slipped into a body of water when he was just a toddler, which became a core
memory for him. Ever since then, he had a deep fear of water that could not be relieved.
He even refused to learn how to swim.
Cedrick attempted a few times to coax and force him to learn before, but his effort was all in vain. Plus,
Albert made an excuse that Ollie was still too young for it. However, Cedrick wanted to make Ollie pick
up on his swimming skills this time.
“It’s because he’s scared of water that he should be learning how to swim.” Ollie had gotten more
rebellious and out of control recently, but his body was generally weaker because he was a premature
baby, so Cedrick could never physically punish him. Since that was the case, he could well use the
events that Ollie was in fear of to threaten to fix his lying tendencies. Otherwise…he would need to go for
swimming lessons. Cedrick’s chin raised condescendingly. The afternoon sun shone into the room, and
he looked even more determined and ruthless than he already was, He was waiting for his son to
apologize. However, Miles turned his head away, the back of his head turning to face Cedrick instead.”

sneered, “Do you know who your mother is?” “Of course I do! She’s—”
Miles was about to blurt his answer when his stomach growled. Ashamed, he quickly hunched and
hugged his abdomen.
How could his stomach rumble at such a serious moment?!
Cedrick was confident that Ollie was lying. Even he had no clue who his mother was, so how could Ollie
know about her?
“Your swimming lesson starts tomorrow,” concluded Cedrick coldly.
He had to fix his child’s lying tendencies.
Hearing Cedrick persistent about the swimming lessons, he suddenly leaped from the bed, placing his
hands on his hips as he, with a pout, declared, “I want to challenge you, Big Demon!”
Cedrick was stunned. “Challenge?”
“I challenge you to a swimming match!” Cedrick thought he had just heard the most ridiculous joke in the
world. Ollie was downright terrified of water. He could not do anything once he was in the water except
spasming and trembling subconsciously. He had even been consulted by a psychologist
before!
All of a sudden, he was suggesting a swimming match?
Albert quickly came forward to restrain the young master by his little arms and feet. “Young Master Ollie,
Master Cedrick was the swimming champion in his school back in the days, and he even has a deep-
water diving license! You can’t win such a battle…”
“Grandpa Albert, I don’t want to be detained here forever. This is a prison, and I’m sitting in a
cell.”
Miles blinked his watery eyes and looked at Albert pitifully.
Albert was shocked at what Miles had just said.
The young master had always been quiet and disliked noises, yet all of a sudden, he was complaining
that his room was a prison? Nonetheless, Miles’ misty eyes had swayed Albert. He subconsciously

Cedrick’s gaze darkened a little before his fingers curled into a fist, and he snickered into his hand. “Fine.
You want a challenge? I’ll grant it, then. If you could learn how to swim in ten days, I’ll allow you to make
a request.”
Miles’ misty eyes cleared at that moment, and his face cracked into a mischievous smile.
“Oh, you’re so going to lose, Big Demon.”
Ollie might not know how to swim, but he did.
Catelyn had taught him how to swim when he was barely two months old, and he could admit that he
was good at it. Forget 10 days. Even if he was given just half a day, he could swim really well in the pool!
Cedrick, however, thought the boy was just haughty, trying to fake his confidence. Ollie had grown
incredibly presumptuous already. Upon noticing that Ollie was no longer throwing a tantrum, Albert
quickly asked the servant to serve a nutritious porridge.
Miles’ digestive system was a little disrupted, and he could only eat some light food. He was really
famished, and he had to admit, the Mason Estate had undeniably delicious food. He was so tempted by
the porridge but had to keep his face straight and tense. Nonetheless, he tried to peek at the porridge
through the corner of his eyes.
