Chapter 173

Catherine‘s POV

I was a little stunned as I looked at the exquisite dishes, and then I found that there was

only one set of tableware within.

I looked at Blake with some einbarrassment. He chuckled. You can feed me. A few bites are enough.”

“Why don‘t you go ahead? I‘ll start later.” I didn‘t want to feed him.

There was a hint of disappointment in his handsome eyes. “What is it? You despise

me?

I looked at him innocently. “If I despise you, I will not even let you eat.”

Only then did a smile appear on Blake‘s handsome face. He said, “Forget it. I‘m not eating. You goahead. I will go back after you‘re done eating.”

Blake reached for a magazine next to him and began to read it.

“Are you free tomorrow afternoon?” Blake suddenly asked.

“I don‘t know yet. Why?” I wondered.

“The pack‘s doctor who takes care of my father is in Sayreville. I want to arrange for you to meet.” Blakeput down the magazine in his hand and looked at me with a little worry in his eyes. “This kind of mentalillness must be treated early.”

I knew he cared about me genuinely. I replied, “I‘m available tomorrow at noon.”

“Great! Then I will make some arrangements,” said Blake immediately.

I finished my meal slowly. Then I turned to look at Blake, only to find that he was staring at me withoutblinking.

I wiped my mouth and asked, “Why are you staring at me?”

“No reason. Are you sull?! Blake calmly came back to his schises. Ile didn‘t think of

himself as rude at all.

For some reason, my heart beat faster because of his gaze.

“I‘ll clean this up later. You should go home now,” I urged him.

Blake reached out, grabbed the back of my head naturally, and kissed me without any indication.

My mind went blank. By the time I came back to my senses, he had already let go of me withsatisfaction.

He said, “Don‘t be too late. The kids and I will wait for you at home.”

His words were firm and heartwarming, making me realize the meaning of home.

I drove back to the villa at about ten o‘clock. From afar, I saw many lights had already

gone out. novelbin

The two kids must have been asleep by now.

I instinctively stepped on the accelerator, and my car sped forward.

I was utterly anxious to go back home.

Stepping into the parlor, I went upstairs.

I heard a man‘s low and charming voice coming from Blake‘s room.

I curiously pushed open the door and entered. I saw my two kids lying on each side of the man. With astorybook in hand, Blake was reading a bedtime story to them.

“Mommy, you‘re back. Daddy is telling us a wonderful story! I don‘t want to go to sleep,” Hedwigimmediately got up and said to me happily.

I couldn‘t help but chuckle. “Then let him tell the story to you for a bit more. Mommy will take a showernow. Then I‘ll take you to sleep!”

Hedwig nodded obediently. “Mommy, bathe slowly. It‘s fine. I want to hear the story a little longer.”

I looked at Hedwig helplessly. What kind of bedtime story was he telling them? How come the longer liespoke, the less Hedwig wanted to sleep?

Was it because he was too good at telling bedtime stories?

When I turned to leave, I couldn‘t help but look at Blake. Our eyes met. I immediately turned around andfled in panic.

I took a shower and walked into his room, only to find that both kids were asleep in his

arinis.

Blake gave me a quiet gesture and croaked, “They‘ve just fallen asleep.”

I watched him gently rise from between them and get out of bed.

Then lie walked over to me and naturally hugged me.

I felt dizzy and struggled slightly.

“Don‘t be like this, Blake. The kids are here!” He was so bold.

“Catly, you smell so attractive.”

I heard Blake‘s low voice.

I found it hard to resist his charm. I took a step back. “Well, I‘m taking Hedwig to sleep now. Go tosleep.”

Theld Hedwig in my arms, kissed her face, and walked out the door with her in my arms.

Blake hurried over and opened the door for me. “Goodnight!”

I smiled and looked back at him. For some reason, I felt that Blake did have an

irresistible charm.

Blake winked at me in an evil manner, which was intoxicating.

My heart beat wildly because of his wink. I felt the need to get over my nightmares and throw myself intoBlake‘s arms.

But I still didn‘t know anything about my nightmares, except that the touch of a man would make metremble and give me goosebumps. What kind of illness was this?

The next morning soon arrived.

I opened my eyes and saw Hedwig sleeping like a piggy next to me. The sunlight passed through thecurtains and landed on Hedwig‘s rosy cheeks. Everything seemed perfect. Love was in the air.

Such a feeling filled people with a longing for life and vitality.

I blinked lazily, and the corners of my mouth couldn‘t help but rise.

When I held Hedwig and went downstairs, I saw Blake and Noah in the dining room. I

was even more content.

Blake put down his fork and walked over. He hugged Hedwig and kissed her. “Hedwig, are you stilldrowsy?”

“Yes. Daddy, can you help me ask for a day off from my teacher? I want to sleep a little longer.” Hedwighugged Blake‘s neck tightly with her hands.

Blake smiled gently, “Hedwig, starting tonight, you need to go to bed earlier. Otherwise, you‘ll always feelsleepy in the morning. You are not sick. You can‘t ask for leave from the teacher for no reason. OK?”

“Do I get to ask for leave when I‘m sick?” Hedwig blinked. Then she said seriously, “Just tell the teacherthat I am sick. Then I can have the teacher‘s permission.”

Ever since she was spoiled by Blake, Hedwig had been more and more unruly.

“Hedwig, you are a kid. You can‘t lie!”

Hedwig pouted.

“Come here. Daddy will feed you breakfast.” Blake held her in his arms and fed her milk.

“Mommy, have you been busy with work lately?” Noah turned to me.

I had some bread and nodded. “Yes. Abit. What‘s wrong?”

“Nothing. I just hope you take care of yourself. Don‘t wear yourself out!” Noah said with

concern.

I grinned and stroked his head. “Noah, you‘ll be a caring boy.”
