Catherine's POV I went downstairs with Hedwig, and I saw Howard's car parked outside the parlor. He pushed the door open and got out of the car hastily. Then he hurriedly opened the rear seat door and came in holding a baby who was crying her eyes out. "Ash, don't be afraid. Daddy's here. It's my fault. You must be terrified!" Howard blamed himself while holding Ash in his arms. I hurried over and asked with concern, "Mr. Twitty, did you take Ash out?" "Yes. She has been staying at home for two days, so I wanted to take her out to see the outside. But on our way back, she kept crying so hard. It breaks my heart!" His face was full of sorrow. I quickly held Ash in my arms and said, "Ash, come here and play with Hedwig. Let Hedwig sing for you, OK?" As soon as Hedwig heard that there was a chance to show off, she immediately began to sing a few songs that she had learned in kindergarten. Ash dug playing with kids. Seeing Hedwig singing and dancing in front of her, she
Catherine's POV Blake's words made me blush a bit. I turned, poured a glass of water, took it to Blake, and said, "Have some water." "Cathy, you're so nice to me." He looked at me seriously. I glanced at him with slight anger and shyness. "I'm only doing this for money." "I know you are not a snob. You are trying to hide the fact that you have feelings for me by lying," said Blake with a bit of smugness. I wanted to throw the glass of water right in his face badly. Was Blake drunk? Blake tried to sit up several times, but his attempts were all in vain. Then he pressed his head. "I'm dizzy. Can you help me?" I thought he was very drunk, so I walked over and tried to help him sit up. I put my arms around his shoulder and helped him up. Blake was practically leaning on me. I frowned. I didn't know what a man should be like when he was drunk, but Blake didn't seem right to me. How come he couldn't even sit straight? "Blake, just lie down. I'll call Dowen over and
Catherine's POV "What are you talking about? Explain to me! What did I do to you?" Blake asked, confused. He gawked at me innocently. Seeing that, I became even more furious. I sneered, "Of course, you don't remember what you said, because you were dreaming. How am I supposed to know which woman you were snuggling up to in your dream? Instead of asking me, you should ask yourself. If you didn't want her to leave you, you should have asked her to stay. What's the point of dreaming about her every day now? Also, don't say those sappy things to me ever again." Blake looked like he realized something. "Cassy, are you so mad because you have feelings for me?" asked Blake. How could this man always miss the point? I was choked by his words! I was accusing him plausibly just now. However, because of his words, my aggressiveness instantly vanished. I lowered my head and tidied my messy long hair. I fell silent. Blake sa
Catherine's POV "Blake, let's say what you said is true. But I am not as emotional as you are." "I'm not trying to force you to fall in love with me, but I hope that our relationship will grow deeper. Can you tell me how you feel about me now? I want to be sure. I don't want to spend my day wandering anymore. Please?" Blake's tone was very gentle, making people unable to resist. I bit my lower lip. I had always been brave, but not right now. "Well, I admit that you have been very nice to me and the kids these days, and your performance is almost flawless. Anyway, I don't hate living with you now. But I can't say that I'm in love with you." I plucked up my courage and expressed my feelings. "It's already a good start, isn't it?" Blake chuckled in a low voice. I looked up at him. He had been immersed in sorrow just now, but now he was chuckling. Was he acting back then? "How's your relationship with your mother now?" I asked cu
Catherine's POV Just as we were having breakfast at the dining table, Howard pushed a baby cart and walked into the parlor. I asked him quickly, "We're going to Disneyland in Orlando later. Do you want to join us?" "Of course! How can Ash and I miss the fun? Am I right, Ash?" Ash was Howard's treasure, and he took great care of her. "Daddy, I want to play!" Ash mumbled. After Hedwig finished her breakfast, she sat up straight and looked at me feeding Ash. "Mommy, Ash is spitting out her food. Why are you still feeding her? She doesn't want to eat anymore!" Hedwig said unhappily. I chuckled. "Hedwig, Ash is still too little. She can't eat fast. This is how she eats. You used to eat like this as well." "That's not true!" Hedwig immediately denied that she used to be without table manners at all. The serious expression on Hedwig's face amused Blake and Howard. "Mommy, can you feed Ash quickly? We are done eating. W
Catherine's POV New Jersey was not far from Florida. After an hour of flight, the kids were a bit worn out. Hedwig, who had been singing and jumping on the plane, fell asleep in Blake's arms. A limousine appeared in front of the airport. We got into the limousine and headed for Orlando's most luxurious hotel. After we arrived at the hotel, Henry stepped forward and handed us the room cards of the suites on the top floor. Howard and Ash would take a suite, while the four of us took another. The presidential suite came with a suite and two beds. When I heard that there were only two rooms, my heart skipped a beat. However, when I entered the room, I realized that I worried too much. "Put the kids to bed, and let's get some rest as well." Blake whispered. I nodded. The two of us each carried a sleeping kid and gently put them on the bed. They were exhausted, especially Hedwig. She was singing and dancing on the pla
Catherine's POV "Hedwig, tell me, what do you want to play?" Blake squatted down and looked at Hedwig tenderly and lovingly. "Daddy, I want to have ice cream!" Hedwig said in a low voice. She secretly glanced at me, worrying that I would say no. "Hedwig, see? There are all sorts of funny things here. We can have tasty food later when we go out. Let's play for a while now, OK?" Blake said. "There's an ice cream stall over there. Daddy, please! I'll just have one!" Hedwig pretended to be pitiful and begged Blake. Blake was helpless. He looked at me with his dark eyes. I sighed. I said, "She can have the smallest one." After getting my permission, Blake stood up and said, "I'll go get it now. Hedwig, wait for daddy!" "Daddy, I will come with you!" Hedwig immediately jumped up and down happily and followed Blake closely. Noah tugged at the corner of my clothes and said, "Stupid Hedwig can eat ice cream. I want one, too!"
Catherine's POV My imagination was quite rich, and I rarely went to amusement parks. Right now, I didn't want to be frightened anymore. I would rather admit that I was a coward. "Aren't you scared?" I closed my eyes tightly, my face buried in his shoulder. My legs were pressed against his waist, and I was practically hanging on him. I asked him with frustration. "No!" Blake said only one word in a very low and firm voice. In the next second, I felt Blake's hand on my shoulder. With his arm around me, we quickly walked through the dark corridor in front of us. Although there were still a lot of scenes that frightened me, somehow, I became brave with Blake's arm around me. When we were about to walk out, I quickly twisted my body and broke free from his embrace in an instant. "Mommy, you came out before daddy. Was daddy more scared than you?" As soon as Hedwig saw me, she immediately ran over and asked curiously. "Your m
