Catherine’s POV
1 turned around and smiled when I saw Leo’s flushed face. So what? If you think you are a joke, well,you deserve it. Experience must be bought, right? Be nicer to others from now on. Don’t push peopleinto the corner just because they refuse to work with you. How do you feel now shooting yourself in thefoot?”
“Don’t think you can talk to me like that just because you had two kids with Blake…”
“Leo, is everyone in the royal family as unreasonable and condescending as you are?” | raised myeyebrows and talked back a little unhappily.
Leo was stunned!
I didn’t bother to talk to him anymore. I wanted to go to the kitchen to grab something to eat.
“You… You have to apologize to me. You knew the truth, yet you still watched me make a fool of myselfyesterday.”
Leo caught up with me and said so.
I opened up the fridge and took a look. There were a lot of fresh ingredients inside. Dowen might havegone out on an errand right now. He was not at home.
I decided to make some roasted chicken with herbs and seafood pasta for myself. I pretended to ignorethe man behind me who was accusing me angrily.
The more I ignored Leo, the angrier he became. However, he did not dare to do anything to me. Hecould only glare at me while his face turned red with anger.
I found him so unreasonable.
I didn’t think I did anything wrong. I had a reason not to tell the truth yesterday.
“Mommy… Who is he? I have never seen him before.” Just as Leo could not calm down whatsoever,he heard a childish voice sounding from behind.
It was Hedwig. She woke up. She must have realized that I was not by her side and came downstairs.
Leo turned around and saw Hedwig behind him.
Hedwig’s hair was messy, and her face was delicate and cute. She was wearing a creamy-whitepajama with patterns of cows on it. She looked so lovely.
Leo stared at Hedwig, and she stared back at him.
I walked over immediately. “Hedwig, why did you get downstairs with so little on? You are still sick Doyou know that?”
“Mommy, my fever is gone. I’m not sick anymore. So, I don’t want to take medicine anymore.” WhenHedwig heard that she was sick, the first thing she thought of was that she might have to takemedicine. Her face was full of frustration.
I comforted her gently, “Fine. Just put on more clothes. You won’t have to take medicine unless you feelsick OK?”
“Mommy, you haven’t told me who he is yet. He is so handsome!” Hedwig sized Leo up.
Just as I was about to introduce him, Leo had already squatted down and looked at Hedwig. His facewas gloomy back then, but now he smiled. “Hey there, what is your name? I am your uncle, for real!”
“For real? Mommy, could there be a fake uncle?” Hedwig did not understand.
I immediately replied, “He is your daddy’s younger brother, your uncle. You can call him Leo from nowon.”novelbin
“What’s the name of my niece?” asked Leo, turning to me.
“My name is Hedwig! Leo, are you here to see me? Did you bring me a gift?” Hedwig, thought that Leowas here because she was sick
Leo was slightly stunned and looked at me, asking for help.
i knew exactly why he came, and he definitely didn’t bring any gifts.
“Hedwig, Leo came in a hurry today and didn’t have time to prepare a gift for you. I’ll ask him to make itup to you next time, OK?” I comforted Hedwig.
Hedwig compromised easily. She immediately nodded and said, “Well, Leo, be sure to bring me a giftthe next time you come to visit me. I will also send you a gift in return.”
“OK. Promise. I will bring you lots of gifts the next time I come here,” Leo answered with a smile.
“And a gift for Noah too. He’s my brother!” Hedwig did not forget about Noah.
Leo nodded.
I stood up with Hedwig in my arms. “Mommy will take you upstairs to change.”
“Leo, don’t leave yet. I’ll take you to see my friend Chestnut later.” Hedwig was carried upstairs by me,and she still wanted Leo to stay.
“Who is Chestnut?” Leo was in a daze.
“Chestnut is Chestnut. It’s very cute. Wait here! I’ll take you to it in a while,” Hedwig said happily.
A few minutes later, Hedwig changed into a princess dress. With two ponytails, she hopped downstairshappily.
I went downstairs and said to Hedwig, “Hedwig, do you want some seafood pasta?”
“Yes! Mommy, you can go ahead and eat first. I’ll take Leo to see Chestnut.” As soon as Hedwigfinished speaking, she
ran to Leo, grabbed one of his fingers, and tried to pull him away. “Leo, come with me.”
Leo glanced at me, asking me with his eyes who Chestnut was.
I smiled without saying anything, letting him find out on his own.
Hedwig was a good-time girl.
They went back after about half an hour. As soon as they walked into the parlor, Leo collapsed on thesofa.
Hedwig was also worn out. I took a towel and wiped her sweat. Then I was about to feed her somepasta.
All of a sudden, I saw Leo lying on the sofa. I kindly asked him, “Hey, do you want some pasta?”
“Is there any for me?” Leo sat up immediately.
“Yes. If you want some, just come here.”
Leo slowly walked over. “She never gets tired! I am exhausted from running, and she hasn’t hadenough! I am starving.”
