Chapter 157
Catherine‘s POV
The sky gradually darkened.
“It‘s getting dark. Time for us to leave.” Blake said in a low voice.
“Daddy, why should we leave just because it‘s getting dark? Look! The lights are on. It‘s so beautiful.”Hedwig didn‘t want to leave.
Blake said to her patiently, “Daddy will take you to dinner now. We can carry on tomorrow.”
“Why don‘t we eat around here? I think there‘ll be some amazing shows later. And we don‘t come hereoften.” I felt it was a pity to miss such a chance.
However, Blake said in a deep voice, “No. It‘s dangerous when it gets dark. We‘d better leave.”
I heard his worries and nodded at once. “Let‘s go back to the hotel now.”
Nothing beat the safety of the kids.
Hedwig and Noah were exhausted. They fell asleep in the car.
I held Noah in my arms, while Blake held Hedwig. After spending the afternoon with them, we wereboth a bit tired.
After we arrived at the hotel, the two kids continued to sleep on the bed.
“Go and take a bath.” Blake said softly.
I nodded, went to the bathroom, and closed the door.
When I got out of the shower, I realized I had forgotten to bring my pajamas with me.
I saw the bath towels beside me, so, I pulled one to wrap myself up. I decided

to go out first.
I hoped Blake was in the living room right now.
I prayed and opened the door quietly.
I poked my head out to take a look. Then I saw him holding a glass of wine in his hand. He wasleisurely leaning against the bedroom door.
The moment I opened the door, he saw everything, including my tentativeness.
I was so embarrassed that I didn‘t know what to say. Why wasn‘t Blake sitting on the sofa whiledrinking? Why was he leaning against the door?
I wanted to go back to the bathroom, but the door had already opened.
If I were to retreat, it would seem like I had a guilty conscience.
So, I pretended to be calm and walked out of the bathroom, and then I headed for the suitcase to findmy pajamas.
“Will you step outside? I have to change.” Blake had no intention of leaving, So, I had to remind him.
“If my memory served me right, this seems to be my room.” Blake raised his eyebrows. He didn’t walkout. Instead, he shook the glass in his hand, walked to me, and lazily sat on the bed.
I lowered my head, found my pajamas in the suitcase, and ran to the bathroom.
By the time I came out again, Blake was already sitting on the sofa in the living room.
“Relax. I didn‘t see anything.” Blake shrugged.
I blushed more when I heard him say this. “Whatever. I have nothing to lose.”

“Is that so? Then maybe I should peek a few more times next time. After all, you have nothing to lose,”Blake said evilly.
I twitched my mouth. “Don‘t push your luck!”
“You are welcome to check me out if you want.”
“Blake, behave yourself! What if the kids hear you?”
Blake said disapprovingly, “They are just kids. Even if they heard us, they wouldn‘t know what we weretalking about.”
“For Hedwig, that might be the case. But not Noah.” I had the feeling sometimes that Noah knew morethan me.
Blake was a bit helpless. “Have you ever trained him specially? Or was he born to be so shrewd?”
“Where did I get the time to train him?” I said self–mockingly.
“Then I guess his cleverness is inherited. He must have got it from me.” Blake said proudly.
I snorted, “I hope he gets only the best from you!”
“I am flawless.” He was full of himself.
“Your greatest weakness is lack of respect, and you‘re so conceited!” I gnashed my teeth in anger.
Blake immediately stood up and approached me. “You have to be responsible for your words. Whenhave I not respected you?”
“When we first met...”
“I was angry back then because I didn‘t know how you had managed to secretly give birth to my kids. Iwas so furious You should katow.” Blake looked innocent
“Didn‘t you say you were clever? Why didn‘t you use your brain and think? How could I give birth toyour kids alone?” Seeing him approaching me gradually, I subconsciously stepped back.
“I thought it was Gina.”
“What made you think it was Gina?” I was instantly annoyed.
Blake explained, “My wolf took over that day. I left the room that night. Later, I asked my Beta to go tothat room, and he saw Gina there.”
Hearing his words, I trembled with anger. “Because I was framed by my stepmother, Gina‘s mother,and driven out of the pack that day.”
“If Gina hurt you so much, why did you ask me to let her slide later? Any reason?” Blake asked.
I bit my lip and did not want to tell him.
“Tell me. Did Gina threaten you again?” asked Blake.
I shook my head. “No, she didn‘t. I did this voluntarily.”
“It doesn‘t make sense. You hate her. You wouldn‘t have pleaded for her.”
“Alpha Wyatt came to me.” I said cynically.
Blake‘s eyes narrowed slightly. “According to my knowledge, you are not close to Alpha Wyatt. Hekicked you out of the pack, leaving you to be a rogue. You helped him just because he said so?”
I looked into his eyes and said, “No more questions, OK?”
“OK. I won‘t ask anymore if you don‘t want to tell me,” Blake nodded.
The sound of water came from the bathroom, and I could not calm down. I turned around and looked atthe unfamiliar and bustling night scene outside the window, having mixed feelings.

In the next room, my two cute kids were sleeping soundly, and time seemed to have frozen.
I looked at the wine bottle that was opened by Blake. I took a glass and poured some wine.
The wine was rich and fragrant. I couldn‘t help but drink half a glass.
It was past 7 p.m. I finished drinking and was about to put the glass down when I saw the bathroomdoor open.
Blake came out wearing a gray nightgown. He was so masculine that I didn‘t dare to look at him.
“Show me the photos of the kids.” His deep and magnetic voice made my body tremble.
I hastily put my phone in his hand, wanting to stand up and leave. novelbin
Yet he grabbed my wrist naturally, and I fell to his side.
“Don‘t you want to look at the photos together with me?” Blake asked with a smile.
My face was burning hot, and I pretended to be indifferent. “I saw them already.”
“Catherine, why do you keep running away from me after all this time? Can‘t we spend some timetogether?” Blake sighed.
I tensed up at once and looked up at him. “I am not running away from you. You are thinking toomuch!”
“I mean psychologically,” he said directly,
