Catherine's POV I was simply stunned by this thick-skinned man. He told such a bad lie just to refute me! Other than that night five years ago, I didn't say a single word to him at all. How could that count as "know each other"? "Noah, I'll ask the butler to take you to my storeroom for fun?" Blake lowered his head and said to Noah gently. Noah jumped down from the sofa and looked at Blake. He said with a warning tone, "Daddy, you promised me and Hedwig that you won't bully mommy." Blake wore a gentle smile on his face. "Noah, Daddy will just be chatting with your mommy. I won't do anything bad to her." "Noah, don't go anywhere else. You'd better come with me. Let's look for Hedwig together." I hurriedly said to Noah, not wanting to face Blake alone. "Mommy, don't worry. You haven't seen Daddy for so long. You must have a lot to say to him." Then the butler held Noah's hand and took him away. "Hey, you brat!" I couldn't help but shout at his back as I watched Noa
Catherine's POV "Catherine, did you send Noah and Hedwig to kindergarten? Why haven't you come back?" It was Mabel on the phone. To reassure her, I quickly explained, "Yeah, the kids are at kindergarten now. And... They are doing great. I'm going to the market for some shopping and will be back soon. Is anything wrong?" "No, I just want to tell you that Cedrick is back." Mabel sounded relaxed and cheerful. "Cedrick?" I felt a little familiar with the name. "My eldest son. You met him when you were young. Oh, I forgot that you were still a baby at that time." Mabel laughed heartily. Then she continued, "Anyway, you can know each other after you come back." "Okay, I will be back as soon as possible." After hanging up the phone, I looked at Blake again and saw a strange look on his face. He seemed to be mad at something. Yet I was in no mood to guess his feelings. I demanded again, "Hurry to give my kids back to me. I got something to do tonight and have no time to wast
Catherine's POV Perhaps what I had said got on Blake's nerves, and he instantly shot me a cold glance. His voice was icy. "I don't owe anyone an explanation." "Really? You look like you're talking big," I said in disbelief. "Listen, Catherine. If you still want to see the kids, you'd better be reserved," Blake warned. I sneered in my heart. The kids were the only thing that he could use to threaten me. "The children are mine. They only belong to me. Don't you dare take them away from me!" I didn't know how many times I had said this to Blake today. But even so, I still felt that this bastard didn't take it seriously. Blake snorted in disdain and turned around to walk forward with his long legs. As I got no response from him, I flew into a rage and caught up with him. I reached out to stop him and said, "Blake, listen to me carefully. I brought the kids up. Other than me, they won't get close to any strangers, even if you are the King. You'd better stop trying."
Catherine's POV As Blake walked over, I hurriedly chased after him and ran towards my daughter. Hedwig was walking in bare feet with a violet garland in her hand and smiling brightly, just like an angel. "Mommy..." Hedwig, who was having a good time, beamed at me and ran over when she saw me. Blake involuntarily slowed his stride as Hedwig called out to me and trotted toward me. I glanced at him and was delighted to see the disappointment on his face. Blake did overplay his hand. How would he be more important than me in Hedwig's heart? When Hedwig got something good, she would definitely first show it to me, her favorite person. "Slow down..." I was worried that Hedwig would fall as I watched her rush over with her short legs. As expected, I was right about my daughter. Hedwig overestimated herself and fell to the sand as she was running. The butler was trying his best to save her, but he was too late. "Hedwig..." Blake dashed forward again as he saw Hedwig fall
Blake's POV Catherine was staring at Hedwig, who twined her chubby arms tightly around my neck and pressed her little face on my shoulder. I felt warmth filling my heart. My mood became even better when I saw how upset Catherine was. Catherine suddenly turned around and walked towards the door. I looked at that stubborn woman and couldn't help gloating. Hedwig, who was leaning against my shoulder, suddenly raised her head and straightened her back when she heard Catherine going away. Hedwig immediately cried. "Mommy, where are you going?" "I... I'm going out for a walk!" Catherine didn't look back, but I could tell she was trying to hold back some emotion. "Are you leaving? Mommy, I'll go with you." Hedwig suddenly sounded meek. She seemed to be afraid that Catherine would leave without her. Hedwig had said sweetly that she would stay and taste the Disco Fries I prepared. But now, she was very eager to be with Catherine. I just got the chance to enjoy the sweet t
Catherine's POV "I... I didn't. I was unconscious that day. How could I seduce you? If I were awake, I would have killed you." I was even angrier when I heard what Blake said. He was saying that I was the one who seduced him that day? I immediately squatted down, grabbed a handful of sand from the ground, and threw it toward him. However, I stood too far away from him, so the sand did not land on his body, which made me feel even more frustrated. "I don't believe you," Blake said loftily with his arms crossed in front of his chest. Judging by his facial expression, I could tell that he was doubtful about everything I said. But I didn't want to argue with him anymore. He was just a cocky bastard. I just fell down, so my body was covered with sand. And then I had a quarrel with him. Now I was a little tired. Blake left after saying that, leaving me alone by the lake. I sat by the lake for a long time in a daze. I was troubled by the fact that Blake would take my childr
Blake's POV After Catherine left, I finally got the time to be alone with Hedwig. At this time, I was in the parlor of this lakeside villa, looking at the little thing sleeping soundly in my arms. Hedwig's small face was really delicate and beautiful. With her eyes closed, her thick and long eyelashes really stood out. I involuntarily slowed down my breathing. This was my baby daughter. I was never a man who liked cubs. But looking at Hedwig, I felt that she was a gift from the Moon Goddess. She was my treasure. I couldn't describe my feelings with words. No words could convey the felicity and satisfaction in my heart. I could not wipe the smile off my face. At this moment, I could not contain myself. I could not control the excitement inside. "Hedwig... My sweetie..." I whispered to the little girl in my arms, kissing her on the forehead again and again. I was not sure if I had disturbed Hedwig, but she stretched out her little hand and scratched her forehead. T
Catherine's POV "What?" Blake, who was driving, suddenly turned around and asked. Then he braked, and the three cars behind him also had to stop. However, because Blake stopped the car so suddenly, the bodyguards' cars crashed into each other to avoid Blake's car. I felt my body being pushed forward by inertia and almost hit the front seat. I quickly held Hedwig tighter in my arms. I turned to look at Noah, who was so scared that his face turned pale. I became angry and said discontentedly, "Do you know how to drive or not?" Blake ignored me. Instead, he glared at me and asked, "You were almost attacked by rogues? How did you protect your children?" I was stunned. I didn't see this coming. He was angry and braked so suddenly because of Noah's words. "But ... we are fine now." I glared back, feeling a little unconfident. "Well, we aren't protected by bodyguards everywhere we go like you do, are we?" Although the security in Pennsylvania was pretty good, that only held
