Chapter 148

Catherine’s POV

When I returned to the lakeside villa, I found it quiet. Then I realized that I didn’t see Howard and Ash inthe parlor.

“Where are Mr. Twitty and Ash?” I asked.

“Mr. Twitty has gone out. He says he won’t be home for dinner tonight, but he’ll be back for anothernight.” replied the servant.

I smiled gratefully and walked upstairs with my purse.

I figured that Dowen was on his way to pick up the kids. I could take the opportunity to take a showerand relax.

I took a shower and changed into my pajamas. Just as I went downstairs, I heard the footsteps of thetwo kids running into the parlor.

“Noah, let’s go feed Chestnut and Peanut later, OK? I miss them a lot,” Hedwig said.

“OK!” Noah sounded very mature.

“Hedwig, Noah, I will join you.” I smiled as I walked down the stairs.

Their eyes lit up, and they ran to the stairs to wait for me. “Mommy, why are you back so early?”

I said gently, “I got off work early today!”

“Mommy, what’s that on your hand?” Noah immediately ran to me. He grabbed my hand and looked atit carefully. “It’s a beautiful diamond ring! Who gave it to you?”

Hedwig also rushed over to see. She was also full of curiosity. “Mommy, it’s beautiful! It’s so shiny! Whobought it for you?”

I was upset. I thought of taking the diamond ring off when I was taking a bath back then, but I forgot to.And now, Hedwig and Noah saw the ring.

Since when did Noah become so eagle-eyed?

Noah grinned. “Mommy, I know who bought it for you. It must be daddy, right?”

As soon as Hedwig heard his words, she instantly became disappointed. “Daddy is so biased. He didn’tbuy me such a pretty ring.”

Noah immediately patted her head and said, “It’s not just some ring. It is a diamond ring. Men buy themfor their girlfriends. You are not daddy’s girlfriend.”

I was already pulling the diamond ring off my finger. As I pulled, I said, “How about I go with you to seeChestnut and Peanut now?”

“Mommy, just tell us! Did daddy give this diamond ring to you? If it wasn’t daddy, we would be veryworried, ” Noah said.

I looked at the two pairs of shining eyes and finally gave up the idea of taking the diamond ring off. Inodded. “Yes. Your daddy bought it for me.”

“Really? Great! Mommy, you finally thought it through!” Noah cheered.

I patted Noah on the shoulder gently and said, “Don’t think too much, OK? Your daddy and I are notlike what you think.”

Hedwig blinked her big eyes and said, “Mommy, but you have already accepted the ring that daddygave you. Noah said that only boyfriends would buy rings for their girlfriends.”

“Well… I was still deciding if I should date him.” I wanted to preserve some dignity in front of mychildren.

The kids exchanged a look with each other, and I had no idea what they were thinking.

I led them and enjoyed our time with the two ponies on the green grass for more than half an hour.

Hedwig and Noah were sweating from running, but there were big smiles on their faces.

I sat in the chair next to them, looking at my kids running happily. I had mixed feelings.

Blake brought love to Hedwig and Noah, and he also satisfied their material needs greatly.

In the past, Hedwig and Noah lived together with me in a small apartment, with limited places to playand few toys.

But now, Blake gave them a grand kingdom. In the kingdom, they had everything, and they could dowhatever they wanted. I guessed it was the charm of status, and their daddy was fabulously rich.

I sighed silently. Hedwig and Noah were so lucky to have Blake as their daddy, who was rich anddoting on them so much.

What about me?

Was I lucky as well, since I had him as my boyfriend?

When I thought of the word “boyfriend”, my heart began to tremble again.

As night fell, I brought the two kids back to the bedroom and was about to bathe them.

After getting the water ready, they sat in the bathtub, and I washed their faces with a handkerchief.

“Mommy, daddy hasn’t come back yet. It’s getting dark!” said Hedwig.

It was only then that I remembered that I had not told them that Blake would be home

late.novelbin

“Daddy has something important to do. He may be late tonight.”

“Mommy, is daddy really going to take us to the amusement park tomorrow? He won’t lie to us, right?”Hedwig’s face was full of anticipation.

Noah looked at her in disgust. “Daddy is the Lycan King. Of course, he won’t lie to us!”

“I suspect that daddy will fool us like we were some three-year-old kids,” said Hedwig while grinning

I was amused by her words.

Noah pouted with a very serious expression. “Daddy doesn’t dare lie to us. If he does, Mommy willteach him a lesson for us, right, mommy?”

I knew they would definitely drag me into it I stroked their faces. “Enough. Go and take

a shower now. When your daddy comes back in the evening, you can ask him yourselves. I don’t knowwhether he will lie to you or not.”

“OK! Then I must stay up until daddy comes back, or I won’t be able to sleep at all.” Hedwig would berather anxious, and she wouldn’t be asleep at all until she got an

answer.

At ten o’clock in the evening, I looked at my kids, who were still jumping around in bed and refusing tosleep, and then I looked out the window. I stared at the road.

It was over ten o’clock, yet Blake still hadn’t returned. Was he that caught up at work?

Thinking that it was because of me that he was still working overtime at such a late hour, I feltinexplicably uneasy.

A car light came from afar. I was a bit excited. But when the car approached, I put down the curtain witha slight disappointment.

There were around five cars in Blake’s motorcade, and I saw only one car. I figured it should beHoward.

I clapped my hands and said, “Ash is back. I’ll go down and help Howard. Do you want to go down?”

“Yes! I want to go down and play with Ash!” Hedwig put on her shoes in a hurry.

However, Noah was not that interested. “Mommy, I want to play with the iPad. Can I?”

I handed the iPad over. “You are only allowed to play for ten minutes. After that, you should put it back.”

Noah nodded. “OK. Ten minutes.”
