Chapter 103
Catherine’s POV
I panicked and quickly explained, “Yes, I’m out with a friend. She brought her kids here. Harley, I’ve got
to go. Talk to you later. I’ll congratulate you properly when I see you!”
I quickly held my phone in my hand and looked down. I saw the two kids staring at me in a daze.
Noah narrowed his eyes. “Mommy, were you on the phone with some man? When we called you just
now, you ignored us and said we were your friend’s children. I’m so sad.”
I knew Noah was discontent. Just as I was about to squat down to comfort him, i turned around and
saw a tall figure leaning against the door behind me.
Blake stared at me without blinking. His hands were crossed in front of his chest, and his face seemned
a bit livid.
“Noah, I’m sorry. Mommy doesn’t want him to know about you yet. Don’t be angry, OK?” I deliberately
ignored Blake and comforted Noah in a low voice.
Hedwig blinked innocently. “Mommy, who was he? Why don’t you want him to know about me and
Noah? Is it because he doesn’t like us?”
“That’s not it. He doesn’t know about your existence. It’s not that he doesn’t like you. Don’t take it the
wrong way, OK?”
Noah could not help but let out a low sigh.
Hedwig saw Noah walking into the parlor and immediately ran over.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtI stood up from the ground and was about to enter the parlor as well.
Suddenly, Blake grabbed my wrist, and I was easily pushed to the side of the door.
Then he pressed one of his large hands against my ear.
“Who was it? who made you so happy? You even had to hide it from the kids? Were you afraid of
letting him know?” Though Blake did not make any further move, he sounded very angry.
I pushed his hand away and said coldly, “None of your business!”
I took my purse and walked upstairs. I glanced back and saw Blake standing at the door with a sullen
face.
I had an indescribable feeling.
I took Harley’s call in front of Blake deliberately. I had no idea what I was thinking. Now that I saw
Blake’s reaction, I felt like I went too far.
I didn’t want anything to do with Blake. Why did I want to see how he reacted? He was jealous now,
and he questioned me. I realized that … I wasn’t that angry and upset anymore.
When I returned to my room and saw the phone in my hand, I couldn’t help but turn it on. I searched for
Harley’s
name.
Sure enough, the news of him signing with a media company had gone viral.
I looked through a few of his photos. Sure enough, he had the potential of an idol. He could be either a
mature man or an innocent boy living next to someone’s door. Various styles suited him perfectly, and
he looked so natural. He was
born to be a star
born to be a star
I was sincerely happy for him. I smiled and grabbed my clothes to take a shower
I took a shower, came out, wiped my long hait, and decided to go downstairs for dinner.
Al the dinner table, Blake’s face was even more sullen. I ignored him.
“Daddy, what’s wrong? Are you unhappy? Who made you unhappy? Tell me! I will help you teach that
person a lesson.” Hedwig was still young, vet she could sense others’ emotions already.
She was caring about her daddy.
Seeing Hedwig’s clear and bright eyes, Blake smiled and said gently, “Daddy is fine.”
“Really? But you haven’t said a word. You must have been bullied,” Hedwig said, tilting her head.
When I heard Hedwig’s words, I realized that she was right. Blake did not say anything for quite a long
time.
“Mommy, don’t take calls from other men in front of daddy anymore. See? Daddy is upset because of
you,” Noah said directly
I patted Noah’s head and said, “Stop talking nonsense.”
After dinner, Blake and I bathe the kids, and it was time to sleep.
I held Hedwig and was about to coax her to sleep.
Hedwig was sleepy. Her beautiful eyes were about to close, but she tried hard not to fall asleep. She
said in a soft voice, “Mommy, you don’t seem to care about daddy. Why?”
I was stunned, and then I chuckled. “That’s not true. I care about him sometimes.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“But I haven’t heard you care about him once. Mommy, daddy is a good one. Be nicer to him, OK?”
Hedwig looked a little pitiful She blinked her big eyes and looked at me, pleading.
I knew what Hedwig was thinking. My heart softened. I stroked her head and hugged her tighter.
“Hedwig, go to sleep. I promise to care about your daddy more in the future.”
“Great! Pinky promise!” When Hedwig heard my words, she smiled and stretched out a finger with
satisfaction.
I was a bit speechless. I didn’t expect Hedwig to be this serious. However, since I made a promise, I
couldn’t go back on my word
With our fingers hooked, Hedwig slowly fell asleep with a smile on her face.
I kissed Hedwig’s head, and I struggled for a long time. Hedwig wanted me to be nicer to Blake so
badly. What should I do?
Should I say yes for the sake of the kids? Wouldn’t it be a bit ridiculous?
When he snatched the kids away, I stated so firmly that I would hate him for the rest of my life.
But now, I could hardly keep my guards up. Blake was so terrible. How could he force me into a corner
like this!
No way. No matter what the kids thought, I wouldn’t give in easily. It wasn’t who I was.
The next morning, I led Hedwig downstairs and saw Blake. He did not leave. Instead, he was chatting
with Noah, who kept giggling.
