Chapter 149

Catherine’s POV

I went downstairs with Hedwig, and I saw Howard’s car parked outside the parlor. He pushed the dooropen 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 whileholding 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 onour 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 foryou, OK?”

As soon as Hedwig heard that there was a chance to show off, she immediately began to sing a fewsongs that she had learned in kindergarten.

Ash dug playing with kids. Seeing Hedwig singing and dancing in front of her, she forgot to cry.

Howard stood aside and was finally relaxed.

“Go upstairs and take a shower. I’ll help Ash bathe later,” I whispered.

It was already past eleven o’clock. After helping Ash bathe, I lay in bed with Noah and Hedwig

“Mommy, I can’t sleep. I have to wait for daddy.” Hedwig felt that her eyelids were so heavy, but shewas still holding on.

Noah, on the other hand, was more carefree, He had been asleep for a little while with his eyes closed.

“Mommy, pinch me. I’m about to fall asleep.” Hedwig could barely stay awake.

I was looking at a few designs. Seeing how cute Hedwig was, 1 pinched her delicate face symbolically.

“But I still want to sleep. What should I do?” Hedwig whispered.

“Go to sleep, Hedwig. I’ll ask daddy for you when he gets back.” I couldn’t bear to let Hedwig suffer. Itwas too hard for her.

Hedwig nodded. She fell asleep quickly. Before that, she muttered and reminded me, “Mommy, don’tforget to ask daddy… remember…”

Hedwig was getting tougher. But she was still a playful kid. She got tougher so that she could play.Such a finding made me sigh and pull a wry face.

I tucked my kids in and looked at the time. It was almost midnight.

Why hadn’t he come back so late?

This had never happened before.

Just as I was getting more and more worried, I saw lights shining into my eyes from afar.

He was back, finally.

I suddenly felt nervous.

Should I go downstairs to greet him? Or, should I wait for him in his room? After all, Hedwig wanted meto help her ask him if we would go to the amusement park tomorrow.

While I was hesitating, the motorcade arrived downstairs.

Then I heard Dowen’s voice coming from downstairs. He said, “King Blake, are you drunk?”

I was slightly stiff. Did Blake drink?

I hesitated for a long time and did not step out of the door, because I heard hurried footsteps comingfrom outside.

Henry’s voice rang out, “Dowen, keep an eye on King Blake later.”

“Sure thing. Go back and get some rest. It’s late,” said Dowen.

I stood at the door and listened to the conversation between Dowen and Henry. Then I realized thatBlake was drunk.

After Henry left, Dowen suddenly came to knock on my door.

It startled me.

I opened the door nervously. Dowen looked at me imploringly. He whispered, “Excuse me, Ms. Wyatt,are the kids asleep?”

“Yes. What’s wrong?” I asked, pretending not to know.

“Ms. Wyatt, would you mind taking care of King Blake for me?” Dowen pleaded.

“Me?” I looked at him suspiciously. Finally, I agreed reluctantly, “OK. I can take care of him. But I rarelylook after drunk people, and I don’t know what to do.”

“Not much. You just need to wipe his hands, feet, and face, and pour him a glass of

water.”

“Alright!” I forced myself to open the door of Blake’s bedroom.

Blake’s handsome face was slightly red. He lay on the bed, one of his hands propped up between hiseyebrows. It looked like he was suffering from drunkenness.

As soon as I entered, Dowen immediately closed the door for me. I stared suspiciously at the closeddoor.novelbin

Why did Dowen do that?

He wasn’t pulling a stunt again, was he? Did he ask me to take care of Blake on purpose?

When I thought of this, I was speechless at Dowen.

However, even though I knew Dowen might be doing this on purpose, I also knew that he was gettingold, and staying up wouldn’t do him good. I supposed I should be nice and lend him a hand this time.

I went into the bathroom and took a towel. I wet it with warm water and then walked to Blake’s bedside.

I bent down and gently rubbed Blake’s face with the warm towel.

He groaned. It seemed that he did not like to be touched in the face. He grabbed my hand suddenly.

He caught me off guard. I was so startled that I let out a low cry.

Blake’s tightly closed eyes slowly opened. After he was drunk, his eyes were slightly red, but they werestill glowing.

“Cathy?” He suddenly called out my name.

“Dowen asked me to look after you. Can you let go of me?” My face was inexplicably hot when I heardhim call my name.

“Why would you look after me?” Although Blake looked drunk, he sounded sober.

I didn’t want to answer him. I whispered, “Let go!”

“Tell me. Why would you look after me?” Blake didn’t let go. Instead, he insisted on getting an answer.

“Because you are the father of my kids. Is that enough?” I answered hastily.

The palm locking my wrist was burning hot, making me panic.

“No. Didn’t you say you hate me?” said Blake.

I furrowed my eyebrows and thought of another answer. I said, “Because you spent a lot of money andbought a lot of things for me this afternoon. It’s only fair that I return the lavor.”

“I don’t like this explanation!” Blake pursed his lips,

Blake, if you don’t let go, I will leave!” I had a temper. He was pushing my boundaries.

Blake’s voice softened as he said, “Fine. I won’t do anything. Don’t go.”

Seeing that he had finally let go, I was secretly relieved.

I continued to wipe his face, while he stared at me without blinking at all, and his burning gaze mademe panic even more.
