Chapter 158
Blake‘s POV
Catherine was like an ostrich, which made me helpless. But I didn‘t want to force her either.
So, I went to wake up Hedwig and Noah, and then the four of us went to the hotel‘s restaurant.
After dinner, Hedwig watched TV, Noah took the laptop, and Catherine sat cross–legged on the bed,working with her laptop. I was supposed to be the busiest one, yet now I had nothing to do.
In the end, I chose to sit with Hedwig on the sofa and watch cartoons with her.
I patiently explained any questions Hedwig raised, but I couldn‘t help looking at the woman on the bedin the bedroom.
It was soon past eleven o ‘clock at night.
“Mommy, I want to sleep with Noah tonight. You and daddy should sleep here!” Hedwig ran toCatherine.
I was sitting in the living room. After hearing Hedwig‘s words, I instantly fixed my gaze on Catherine,wanting to know her response.
Catherine was shocked. She stared at Hedwig in confusion and asked, “Hedwig, what are you talkingabout? We always sleep together, don‘t we?”
“No! I don‘t want to sleep with you tonight. I want to sleep with Noah. Noah promised that he wouldn‘tkick me anymore!” Hedwig said seriously.
Catherine was very puzzled. She stared at Noah sternly, and Noah chuckled. “Mommy, don‘t look atme. I didn‘t say anything.”
“Hedwig, stop messing around. Come here. Let me hold you to sleep.” Catherine looked at Hedwiggently.

“No! I don‘t want to! I want to sleep with Noah tonight. Daddy and mommy should sleep together!”Hedwig said firmly as she stepped back.
“Noah, talk to your sister. It‘s getting late. Time to go to bed.” Catherine said.
Noah shrugged and said calmly, “Why do you and daddy sleep separately when everyone else‘sparents sleep in the same bed?”
“Because we aren‘t married.” Catherine was about to go nuts. How did kids know so much?
“Then why don‘t you get married? It‘s just a formality. You are already our daddy and mommy anyway!”Hedwig found it hard to understand.
I was smart enough not to participate in their quarrel. But I was fully concentrating on what was goingon in the bedroom.
“Hedwig, I will be angry if you keep being unreasonable.” Catherine said authoritatively.
“I don‘t care! I just want to sleep with Noah tonight!” Hedwig said firmly.
Catherine turned on her laptop, got out of bed, and walked out of the living room.
She frowned and stared at me. “Did you tell her to do this?”
I glanced at her and said, “How is that possible?”
Hedwig immediately ran over and defended me. “Mommy, it has nothing to do with daddy!”
“Hedwig, I will tell you a story, a story you have never heard before,” Catherine looked at Hedwig andpersuaded her patiently.
“No! Mommy, please! Noah said that if you don‘t sleep with daddy, we will become pitiful kids. Daddywill fall for other women. Noah and I will be treated badly. I don‘t want to be treated badly. Mommy
I will cry!” Hedwig cried.
She cried so suddenly and so sad, which caught me off guard.
I hurried over and squatted in front of Hedwig to wipe her tears. I said to her seriously, “Hedwig, stopcrying. Daddy promises. I won‘t fall for other women. You can rest assured.”
Catherine suddenly covered her mouth and chuckled.
I had wanted to put myself in her shoes and talk to Hedwig. Hearing Catherine‘s titter, I was a bitvexed.
Catherine chuckled for a second and then quickly put her finger to her lips, becoming serious again.
Noah twitched his mouth and said with dissatisfaction, “Mommy, what are you laughing at?”
“Nothing. Hedwig, didn‘t you hear what your daddy said? He won‘t fall in love with anyone else. Don‘tworry. There will be no stepmothers. Don‘t cry
anymore, OK?” Catherine said.
When Hedwig heard Catherine‘s words, she was not happy. Instead, Hedwig continued with a bitterface, “Noah said that even if there is no stepmother, there will be a stepfather. He will not be as goodas daddy. Mommy, no more meetings with other men, OK? Stick to daddy from now on. Daddy is sohandsome and nice. I‘m sure you will fall for him.”
Catherine glared at Noah. “Noah, who told you to tell your sister that? Don‘t you know it will confuseher?”
Noah shrank back and spread his hands helplessly. “Mommy, I was telling the truth. I was not lying.”
“I‘m warning you don‘t lead your sister astray!” Catherine scolded Noah sternly.
Noah blinked innocently. “Mommy, stupid Hedwig is only half an hour younger than me. She shouldknow what I know. Do you want her to be stupid for the rest of her life?”
Hedwig gawked at Catherine. After a while, she shouted at Noah, “I am not stupid. Noah, you arebad!”
Seeing that Hedwig was mad at him, Noah quickly changed his tone. He said, “Hedwig, you are notstupid. Otherwise, how could you be my sister? Stop crying, and let‘s go to sleep. Let daddy andmommy talk and work things out.”
“OK! I‘m done crying! It makes me so tired!” Hedwig looked so serious. She raised her hand and wipedthe tears off her face with her sleeve.
Their conversation made me and Catherine freeze in an instant.
Sure enough, they were still kids. They didn‘t hide any emotions, including anger.
“Hedwig, how could you! Who told you to put on an act?” Catherine said angrily.
Noah grinned and said, “Mommy, don‘t get mad. We did it for you. Dad is second to none. If you don‘tkeep him by your side, other women will snatch him away from you. Don‘t come to us crying then.”
I almost burst out laughing. novelbin
I was certain that Catherine was utterly pissed off by the kids.
