Chapter 102
Catherine’s POV
After wandering for a while, I simply threw my pencil away and decided to let go. Wandering wouldn’t
help at all. Life would continue anyway.
I drove home. In the brightly lit parlor, my two kids were playing happily.
Hedwig always liked to be Noah’s tail. Wherever he went, she followed, while kept staring at him with
her big, innocent eyes. She did it on purpose, since she knew he could do nothing about it.
“You dropped your eyeballs. Pick them up!” Noah suddenly said to her.
Hedwig widened her eyes and instinctively looked down. Then she reached out and touched her eyes.
“My eyes are still there. I didn’t drop them. Noah, you’re lying.”
Noah chuckled. “You are indeed a fool, Hedwig. How can you still see me if you drop your eyeballs?”
“Noah, you are so bad. You are lying! I will tell mommy!” Hedwig went upset at once. She turned
around and saw me standing at the door. She immediately ran to me excitedly. “Mominy, you are back!
I miss you so bad.”
I threw my purse on the sofa, bent over, took Hedwig into my arms, and rubbed her head. “Mommy
misses you too.”
“You miss me, not Noah. Right?” Hedwig immediately looked at Noah proudly, as if she was more
important than

“I miss you both!” I laughed.
Noah looked at Hedwig complacently and made a cute face.
Hedwig pouted angrily and looked at me sadly. “Mommy, when you are away, Noah always bullies me
and lies to me.”
I knew Noah sometimes would tease Hedwig since she was not quick-witted enough. I stared at Noah
seriously and said, “Tell me the truth. Did you bully your sister?”
Noah shrugged and replied like he were an adult, “I didn’t. She was too stupid to trust others easily.
This is the comparison between geniuses and fools.”
When I saw Noah’s narcissistic appearance, I almost laughed in anger.
“Mommy, did you hear that? He’s calling me a fool again! I’m not a fool! Noah is so bad. I won’t talk to
him anymore!” Hedwig buried her face on my shoulder to show how determined she was.
Noah came over and handed over a small electric car that he had been studying in. “Here. Didn’t you
want to see it? You can have it now. Don’t be mad at me.”
Hedwig immediately reached out and took it. “That’s more like it. I wanted to take a look, but you just
wouldn’t let me. That was why I was mad at you.”
“Now that you’ve had it, will you stop being mad?” Noah asked with a serious expression.
Hedwig took the small car, sized it up, and grinned. “I’m not road anymore. Noah is still good to me!”
“Stupid Hedwig!” Noah couldn’t help but scold her jokingly when he saw her smile.
I stood aside and saw that it only took a few minutes for the two kids to patch things up. I shook my
head and smiled. Children were simple. It was easy for them to be happy and forgive others.
When I thought about how I was still brooding over the things Blake did to me, I felt that I wasn’t living
happily.
Perhaps it was because, unlike Hedwig, I wasn’t unconcerned.
There was the sound of a cat outside the door. The two kids immediately dropped the toy and ran out
excitedly. It seemed that Blake was back
I flustered again, and I turned to go upstairs.
However, I stopped halfway. Why should I hide?
So, I walked to the sofa and sat down. I took out my phone from my purse and browsed for some news.
Meanwhile, Blake came in with Hedwig in his arms.
“Mommy, check it out! Daddy bought me a new toy! It’s a cute doll! She can even talk to me!” Hedwig
shouted at me excitedly
I had to raise my head to look at the doll in Hedwig’s hand, but the second I looked up, I met
someone’s deep and charming eyes.
We looked in each other’s eyes for two seconds, and then I looked away as if nothing had happened
and said to Hedwig, “If you like it, go ahead and play with it.”
Noah also had a new toy in his hand, and he was already fiddling with it.
Blake put Hedwig down and let them exchange their toys to play with.

He didn’t go upstairs. He walked directly to me.
I panicked. I picked up my phone and pretended that I was on the phone.
Blake walked to me and reminded me in a low voice, “You have your phone upside down.”
When I heard his words, I froze. I put my phone away quickly and blushed.
A low laugh came from the side.
He saw through my act. I was so embarrassed.
Yet after a moment of shame and anger, I simply admitted it and said in a low voice, “That’s right. I was
just pretending to answer the phone. Because I didn’t want to talk to you. Go away!”
“There’s no need for that. I’m fine with you ignoring me,” Blake said with a smile.
“Don’t say those things in front of the kids, or I won’t let you off the hook easily,” I continued to warn him
in a low
voice.
“Relax. I won’t say a word to the children till you say yes,” replied Blake.
I glared at him. “What makes you think I will say yes?”
“I have a hunch.” His lips curved up. “You will.”
“I won’t. Even if I say yes someday, it will just be for the children. It won’t be because of you,” I retorted.
“Doesn’t matter. I’ll be happy as long as you say yes.” He sounded like he did not care.
I picked up my purse and was about to go upstairs.
Yet my phone was indeed ringing this time.
