Chapter 165 Cedrick and Edwin returned to Mason Estate, and the servants rose to greet them as they
arrived. “Master Cedrick, Mister Atherton.”
Edwin winked at the head of the servants, to which she blushed and felt her heart soar at the gesture. All
the maids were delighted to see them.
Both men then made their way to the swimming pool, where Miles was already waiting with a dark-
colored towel wrapped around him. He was ready to win the challenge.
“Master Cedrick, you’ve returned,” greeted Albert as he came forward, his lips wearing a light smile.
Cedrick looked at Miles doubtfully, not believing the boy could win the bet. “Did he really learn how to
swim?” Over the past year, Cedrick had tried numerous ways to get Ollie to learn swimming but to no
avail. Miles dashed forward excitedly. “Don’t underestimate me, Big Demon. I’m very good at swimming!”
Cedrick snickered. “If you can come out there without cramps, it’ll be impressive enough.” Miles’ cheeks

his small frame. He put his hands on his waist and wiggled his waist and behind cheekily, seemingly
warming up before the swim.
It was Edwin’s first time seeing an adorable side of Ollie, and his lips curved upward. “He seems to be
well-prepared, Ced. What’s the bet again?”
“It was a blank check bet,” explained Albert. “As long as Young Master Ollie learns how to swim, Cedrick
will fulfill his request.”
“Would you agree if he says he wants Catelyn to be his stepmother?” Edwin smirked, ready to watch the
show.
“Even if he knows a lot of fancy tricks, he’ll lose once he’s in the water.”
Edwin found a strategic spot to settle in-under the umbrella. He laid on the lounging chair lazily and held
a bowl of grapes in his chest, leisurely enjoying himself. “Uncle Edwin will be the referee to your bet with
Ced, alright? Do your best; I have faith in you!” “Thanks, Uncle Sissy! I’ll win this!”
Edwin could feel the corner of his lips twitching when he heard this nickname. “If you address me in a
more respectful manner, I’ll cheer for you even more.”
Miles was not bad at reading people’s emotions; he was merely good at treating people based on how
he was treated. He had a bad impression on Cedrick, so he was very rebellious against Cedrick.

He grinned cheekily at Edwin, “Oh, pretty brother!” Edwin cringed at this. “Forget it! Just get yourself into
the water. I look forward to your performance.” Miles nodded and asked Albert excitedly, “Is the camera
ready? I’m about to start.” Albert was very proud of him. “All ready, Young Master.” Miles put on his
goggles, raised his hands above his head, and leaped into the water crisply, causing the water to splash
upward. Miles’ little head floated in the water, his tiny body agile as he interchanged between
backstrokes and breaststrokes, occasionally slapping his hand on the water surface. He was a natural.

could probably make it to the first three if he participated in any swimming competition. Miles swung his
head back proudly. “That was nothing. I could show you more!” Miles then dived right into the deepest
section of the pool. 10 seconds passed, and it became 20.
45 seconds.
60 seconds.
90 seconds.
“Goodness!” Albert exclaimed in surprise. “Young Master Ollie not only conquered his fear of water, but
he’s even able to hold his breath for a long time underwater?” Cedrick’s fingers grew tense in his pocket.
Truth be told, he was baffled.
It was already impressive for a normal person to hold his breath underwater for 45 seconds. However,
this boy, who only learned how to swim in three days, could hold it for one and a half minutes?
