My Mate Has Two Wolves

Chapter 204

Catherine's POV

I was well aware that Patricia wanted to psych me out.

I just didn't get it. We would be a family soon. Did seniority rules matter that much?

Besides, I always respected her, because she was an elder. I never disrespected her.

I sighed. Were there so many rules and restrictions in the royal pack?

After seven o'clock, I took a shower. But I did not go downstairs then. Instead, I sat on the sofa in the room, feeling depressed.

When the kids were tired of playing and went back to the lakeside villa by car, both of them rushed directly to me.

"Mommy, Emerson told me a lot of great stories!" Hedwig said with a smile.

I stroked Hedwig's head and said, "I'm glad that you like them. You can ask him to tell you more in the future."

"Mommy, is daddy not back yet? I'll wait for him upstairs!" Hedwig turned and ran upstairs.

I turned my head to look at Noah, only to see that he was also looking at me with his big eyes.

"What's wrong?" I waved my hand in front of his eyes.

"Mommy, who was that man?" Noah asked suddenly.

"What man?" I froze.

"The man who held you. Do you like him?" asked Noah.

"Noah, how did you know?"

"I saw the photos on my classmate's phone." Noah answered immediately.

"Are you looking down on mommy now?" I didn't know how to explain it to Noah. It was very embarrassing.

"Of course not. Mommy, if you like that man, what about daddy? He likes you too!" Noah looked at me. This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.

When I heard Noah's words, I couldn't help but smile, "How can you be sure that your daddy likes me?"

"Because I talked to him. If you go to see another man, he will admit that he is jealous. If you don't talk to him, he will admit that he is sad. Isn't that enough to prove that he likes you?" Noah said seriously.

I was stunned again.

"I didn't know you two would talk about these things." Noah was becoming more and more clever and mischievous. He actually had such grow-up conversations with Blake.

"Mommy, I am just looking out for you. I want to sound daddy out. I want to know how sincere he is to you." Noah chuckled.

I felt sad and gratified when I heard his words. I hugged Noah and kissed his head. "I'm sorry, Noah. I made you worry."

"I'm used to it. You can be really stupid sometimes!" Noah stuck out his tongue.

I retorted, unconvinced, "How am I stupid? I want to be a smart person, OK?"

"If you wanted to be with that man, why would you let others take photos of you and upload the photos online? Couldn't you go see the man secretly?" Noah said in a huff.

"Noah, here's the truth. I was set up by some bad person. These photos were deliberately uploaded by that person to harm me. Don't take them seriously. I have nothing to do with that man," I explained to Noah with a chuckle.

"Really?" Noah suddenly became happy. "So, you didn't betray daddy?"

"No. Didn't you say that your daddy liked me a lot? How could I betray him?"

Noah nodded. "That's my theory. That man is not as handsome as daddy, and definitely not as rich as daddy!"

"You're so greedy. Do you think I like Blake because of his appearance and money?" I was amused by Noah.

"Am I wrong?" Noah looked at me disapprovingly.

I thought about it carefully, shook my head, and then nodded. "I don't know. Anyway, I admit that your daddy is kind of charming."

"Not kind of. He is very charming! When he came to pick me and Hedwig up from school, all the female teachers there were captivated," Noah said proudly.

"Really? Did any of them approach your daddy?" I immediately became nervous when I heard that and quickly asked.

Noah immediately kissed my face and said, "Mommy, don't worry. As long as I'm here, I promise that daddy won't have a chance to have chemistry with any woman."

I hugged Noah again. "You are a great helper. How should I reward you?"

"Why don't you go on a trip with daddy sometime? I heard that going on a vacation is a great way to improve adults' relationships. Anyway, Patricia and Emerson can look after Hedwig and me now. You can go ahead and have fun," Noah suggested.

"Did Patricia say how long they were going to stay here?" I asked Noah.

"They said they were going to stick here, and they would take care of me and stupid Hedwig."

"No way!" I had a headache.

I quarreled with Patricia back then. Now that I thought about it calmly, I felt that I should not have been so impatient.

Patricia came down hard on me only because she was looking out for Blake. But I failed to control my temper and talked back. I was worried that Patricia would pick on me from now on.

"Mommy, you sighed just now!" Noah said with concern.

"Really?" I didn't even notice that I sighed.

"Yes. What's the matter? Are you afraid that you can't get Patricia's approval?" Noah asked with a smile.

I almost wanted to praise Noah. How could he be so good at reading people?

Then I recalled what Patricia said to me today, about telling on her in front of the kids. Then all of a sudden, I didn't feel like saying anything to Noah.

"No, Noah. Why don't you go downstairs and play? I still have work to do!" I ignored the concern on Noah's face and smiled faintly.

"Mommy, don't lie to me. I'm not a three-year-old child, and I'm not as stupid as Hedwig. I can see the expressions that you adults have. I don't think Patricia likes you very much." Noah also began to worry.

I grabbed Noah and said, "Noah, promise me that you won't ask questions between Patricia and me anymore, OK?"

"Why? I'm looking out for you!" He blinked his big eyes and was confused.

I put on a serious face and said seriously, "No reason. Anyway, stay away from the things between us two."

"Mommy, are you aggrieved? Did Patricia scold you?" Noah instantly showed a distressed expression.

I took a pencil and drew on the drawing board randomly. "No. She did not scold me."

"Mommy, you are a terrible liar!" Noah sighed.
