My Mate Has Two Wolves

Chapter 176

Catherine's POV

I stretched and stood up. The only amazing view outside my French window was Blake's two skyscrapers.

Looking at that, I picked up my phone and called Blake.

Blake's tone was very gentle. He said, "Cathy?"

It was so weird. Whenever I heard him call my name, I always felt an electric shock.

I didn't feel a thing when other people called me by my name. However, it felt so great when I heard my name coming from Blake's mouth.

"Yes, it's me," I answered in a low voice.

"What's the matter?" Blake's voice rose slightly.

"I want to take the kids to dinner with Melinda tonight, OK?" There was a trace of pleading in my tone.

"You are their mother. You can make the decision yourself. Why ask me?" Blake laughed.

I said in a low voice, "I think so as well, but you are their father anyway."

"Cathy, haven't we already decided to go public about the kids? We won't hide them anymore, OK?" Blake said with great tenderness.

His words reminded me. I said, "You're right. I already made a promise to Noah. Then I'll take them out for dinner tonight."

I hung up the phone with an inexplicable feeling in my heart. Knowing that I had someone to talk to made me feel safe. Such a sense of security moved me deeply.

Would Blake be the one who made me feel safe from now on?

Well, that didn't seem bad.

When I drove to the school gate, Dowen was waiting there already. He wasn't surprised to see me.

Meanwhile, Noah and Hedwig ran out.

I immediately held Hedwig and asked gently, "Hedwig, I will take you out to dinner tonight. OK?"

"Are we going with daddy?" Hedwig's eyes widened.

"No. We will be having dinner with a very beautiful and elegant lady. We can go shopping after the meal," I smiled and said.

"Really? Then I'll go!" Hedwig was overjoyed.

"Mommy, maybe you should go with Hedwig. I'm going home with Dowen. I want to go home and play with my toys," Noah immediately announced his decision.

I was stunned for a second, and I looked at Noah's face. He didn't seem interested. "Noah, are you sure? You won't come with us?"

Hedwig complained, "Mommy, don't take Noah. Noah is so boring. He'll just sit there and be glued to his iPad. And he'll make trouble when we go shopping! Don't take him with us!"

Noah curled his lips disapprovingly. "I don't want to go. Mommy, I have decided. I'll pass. Take stupid Hedwig with you and feed her like she's a piggy."

Noah was already walking towards Dowen's car. Seeing that, I could only sigh speechlessly. I kissed Hedwig's tender face. "Hedwig, don't take Noah's words seriously."

"Bad Noah... He called me a piggy!" Hedwig puffed up her cheeks in anger.

I chuckled and kissed her again. "Well, we're not taking him. I will only take you out to dinner tonight. Be happy, OK?"

Hedwig immediately pressed her cheek to mine. "Mommy, let's go!"

"Say goodbye to Dowen!"

"Goodbye, Dowen!" Hedwig was so complacent.

I took Hedwig to the restaurant that Melinda had booked.

Melinda was already there when we entered the private room. When she saw Hedwig, she was thrilled.

"Hey! This is the cute Princess! Come here and let me hug you." Melinda immediately came over and held Hedwig up.

"Hello, Melinda!" Hedwig immediately greeted her cutely and politely.

"You're so cute!" Melinda smiled and praised, staring at Hedwig's delicate and lovely face.

I was satisfied to hear Melinda praise Hedwig ceaselessly.

"Where's the other one?" Melinda asked curiously when she found that I was with Hedwig alone.

I shrugged helplessly. "As soon as Noah heard that we would go shopping after eating, he lost interest at once."

"No way. He's so young, but he has his own idea already!" Melinda was surprised.

I nodded. "Yes. Noah has been like that since he was a child. Melinda, I will find another chance for you to meet him."

"It's fine. Boys are all like that." Melinda was very understanding.

Hedwig blinked and looked at Melinda curiously.

The three of us started to eat. NôvelDrama.Org content.

"Catherine, you're awesome. You're still so young, yet you've raised two cute kids. Only you know what you've been through," Melinda said while looking at Hedwig, who was very obedient sitting there.

I smiled bitterly and said, "It wasn't always hard. There were some happy moments. It was a tough time, but now things are better, and I'm feeling a lot easier watching them get bigger."

Halfway through the meal, Hedwig said with a bitter face, "Mommy, I want to pee!"

"Let's go. I'll take you to the bathroom!" I quickly put down my fork and knife, took Hedwig from the children's chair, and held her hand as we walked toward the bathroom.

"Mommy, Melinda is so nice!" As soon as we left the room, Hedwig smiled.

I nodded. "Of course. She is very nice to me."

"Then I will be nice to her when I grow up!" Hedwig immediately acted like an adult.

I was touched and happy. "OK. I'm looking forward to you growing up, my Princess."

Hedwig reached out and grabbed one of my fingers. "Mommy, I will take care of you. Really! I promise!"

I took Hedwig out of the bathroom and returned to the private room.

After finishing eating, we went across a road and arrived at a famous pedestrian zone for shopping.

It was women's nature to go shopping. I hadn't been shopping for a long time. The last time I went shopping, I was with Blake. That day was nothing but tiring.

I didn't feel at ease that day at all.

Women could only feel at ease when they were shopping with other women.

Hedwig was thrilled. She held Melinda in one hand and me in the other. She was between me and Melinda, and she kept bouncing and jumping happily.

Melinda bought Hedwig a pretty princess dress and Noah a cute suit.

Before we realized it, it was ten o'clock in the evening.

On the way back, Hedwig started to yawn. She looked very sleepy.

Looking at Hedwig's tired face, I began to blame myself. I should have been more responsible for my daughter and gotten better control of the time.
