Chapter 97
Catherine’s POV
After I had dinner with Melinda, I did not stay outside for too long. I soon went back to lakeside.
I worried about my two kids, especially Hedwig, who was so clingy. If I wasn’t there for her, she couldn’tsleep at all. She would even cry.
By the time I rushed back, it was already past nine.
As expected, Hedwig was sitting in the parlor, shedding tears. She wiped her eyes with the back of herhand and cried, “I want mommy. Daddy, can you call mommy and ask her to come back soon?”
Blake sat aside and coaxed Hedwig, his face full of distress.
Just as Blake was helpless, I walked into the parlor and said, “Hedwig, Mommy is back.”
“Mommy…” Hedwig ran to me with great grievances.
I immediately squatted down and held Hedwig tightly in my arms. Looking at her crying face, I felt sodistressed and said, “There, there. Stop crying. Mommy is back, right? Let’s go. Mommy will take youupstairs to sleep. You have to go to school tomorrow morning.”

“Mommy, if you don’t come back, I won’t be able to cry anymore. My tears are running out.” Hedwigpouted.
When I heard her words, I couldn’t help but chuckle. “I see. It was my fault for making you cry for solong.”
“I asked daddy to call you, but daddy just wouldn’t. He definitely doesn’t love me.” After Hedwigfinished speaking, she secretly glanced at Blake, who was sitting on the sofa. She looked so upset.
When Blake heard Hedwig’s words, he immediately revealed a somewhat sad expression.
I said to Hedwig gently, “No, your daddy won’t stop loving you. He’ll always love you.”
“Really? In fact, I will always love you two as well.” After hearing my words, Hedwig was overjoyed.
Blake listened to my words and was slightly stunned.
I wouldn’t make things worse right now. Though I sometimes seemed to be a bit harsh when educatingmy kids, I was, in fact, still very reasonable.novelbin
Regardless of the arguments between adults, I would always be patient with the children,
I would keep my kids out of the grudges of adults, because I didn’t want to burden them.
I carried Hedwig upstairs and went straight into the room. After bathing Hedwig, I held her in my arms,ready to sleep.
“Mommy, let’s go see what Noah is doing.” Hedwig suddenly wasn’t sleepy at all. She looked at mepitifully and pleaded.
“What’s the point? He must be playing games, or he’s already asleep.” I didn’t want to go next doorbecause I didn’t
want to see Blake.
“I’m sure Noah is not asleep. He has been worried about mommy, too. Mommy, let’s go and see him,OK! Please.” Hedwig looked even more pitiful.
I couldn’t bear to see that look on her face. At last, I gave in. I picked her up and opened the door.
The door of the next room was closed. I hesitated for a moment. Finally, I reached out and pushed itopen.
As much as I hated Blake, I still needed to tell Noah that I was back. I didn’t want Noah to be worried.
Unexpectedly, when I pushed open the door, I saw Blake lying on his side beside Noah and watchingNoah playing with his Switch
Hearing the sound of the door, Blake was slightly startled, and he couldn’t help but look at me.
“Mommy, you’re back!” Noah was still staring at Switch in his hand and shouted cheerfully.
1 put Hedwig on the bed and grabbed Noah’s Switch. “It’s late! No more playing. You’ve got schooltomorrow. Go to bed.”
Noah was in the middle of a critical moment, but I stepped in. He threw himself unwillingly on the bed.“Fine! I’ll go to sleep now!”
However, Hedwig was jumping on their bed as if it were a trampoline. She laughed happily as shejumped. “Noah, I will bounce you up. Be prepared!”
Noah looked at me in annoyance. “Mommy, take the annoying stupid Hedwig away. Do you want me tosleep or not?”
I had to pick Hedwig, who was enjoying herself up, and walked out.
Blake was looking at me the whole time. However, he was smart enough not to talk to me.
After I coaxed Hedwig to sleep, I took my pencil to the balcony and turned on a dim light.
I focused on drawing. After today’s chat with Melinda, I was no longer depressed.
Just as I was immersed in drawing, suddenly, heavy footsteps came from behind me.
I froze and paused. Then I turned my head and saw Blake, who was standing not far behind me.
Under the shadow, he looked taller and more domineering.
I ignored him and continued to draw.
However, Blake walked over and stood in front of me. He looked down at me, who was sitting cross-legged, and said, “I apologize to you for what happened last night.”
My hands moved faster, and I said coldly, “How’s that going to help? What’s done is done.”
“I didn’t mean to hurt you like that.” His tone sounded a little heavy.
I raised my head and saw the trace of pain flashing across his deep eyes.
I glared at him. “Don’t stand here, I still got work to do. Go to sleep.”
“If you don’t forgive me, I won’t be able to sleep tonight.” Blake’s gaze was still fixed on my face, andhis tone revealed a trace of helplessness.
“I was the victim here. Why are you the one who can’t sleep?” I found him getting funnier.
However, Blake said calmly, “Exactly. I feel guilty because you’re the victim. You are the mother of mykids. i should not have done that to you. I hope you can forgive me.”
I didn’t expect that Blake would take the initiative to apologize to me. After a slight surprise, I saidlightly, “Can you tall me why you suddenly seemed like a different personali
