My Mate Has Two Wolves

Chapter 280

Catherine's POV

I returned to the lakeside villa just as Noah and Hedwig were finishing class.

I sat in the parlor and waited. When I heard the sound of the car, I quickly walked out.

The car doors opened, and Noah and Hedwig ran toward me.

"Mommy, I miss you so much!" Hedwig hugged my neck tightly and kissed my face. "Mommy, don't leave anymore, OK?"

Hearing Hedwig's words, Noah looked at me with anticipation.

"OK, I promise. I won't go anywhere from now on. I will stay with you and Noah," I comforted Hedwig.

To my surprise, Noah and Hedwig missed me so much, though it had just been a few days.

"Mommy, daddy also went out to work, but he came back earlier than you. He came back yesterday. Can you call daddy over for dinner tonight?" Hedwig pleaded in a low voice.

Of course, I knew Blake was back early, but I couldn't say yes to Hedwig.

"If you miss daddy, you can have dinner with him tonight. I'll have to skip dinner." It was not that I didn't want to. I was just afraid. Patricia would have a problem with it.

Noah sighed, "Mommy, you and daddy aren't going to break up like this, are you? What about me and stupid Hedwig?"

I looked at Noah. "I don't know. You'll probably have to get used to the fact that daddy and I are separated."

"I'll live with it, but I'm not so sure about stupid Hedwig," Noah said.

Hedwig nodded. "He's right. I am not used to daddy and mommy living separately."

I looked into Noah and Hedwig's eyes and sighed. I said, "My hands are tied. I want to give you a full family, but this is beyond my decision. Hedwig, will you just help me for once and stop it?"

Hedwig nodded. She said, "OK, mommy. I won't make it hard for you anymore. Mommy, don't be angry."

"I am not angry." I held Noah and Hedwig's hands and walked into the parlor. "Come here and tell me about your day at school."

I diverted Noah and Hedwig's attention. They happily shared the interesting things that happened at school with me.

Soon, it was time for dinner.

At this time, Dowen came over and said that Patricia had called. She wanted to pick up Noah and Hedwig for dinner at the mountain-top villa.

"Dowen, I'm not going. I want to eat with mommy," Noah said.

Hedwig also hurriedly said, "Yes, I want to eat with mommy too."

I knew that Emerson and Patricia loved Noah and Hedwig, but I also cherished my time with the kids.

I could only apologize to Emerson and Patricia in my heart.

After I had dinner with Noah and Hedwig, I held their hands and walked together on the beach.

I looked up at the starry sky. When I saw the lights of the villa on the top of the mountain, I couldn't help but wonder whether Blake had come back or not.

"Mommy, what are you looking at?" Hedwig asked curiously.

I shook my head and smiled, "Nothing. It's a lovely night."

Noah smiled and said, "Mommy, do you want to know if daddy is home? He should be back by now. The light is on in his study."

I looked at Noah and asked, "How did you know the light is on in your daddy's study?"

"It's the room at the side. That's his study!" Noah pointed.

I gawked at the room.

"You can't suppress your love for him," Eva said to me.

"Mommy, do you want to call daddy? Call him with my phone watch." Noah dialed Blake's number.

"Hey, Noah!" In the sound of the sea waves, I heard Blake's voice clearly.

When I heard his voice, a strange feeling emerged.

"Daddy, are you busy?" Noah asked.

"Yes. I'm dealing with some work," Blake said gently.

"I see." Noah was not very happy.

"What's wrong?" Blake asked with concern.

Noah whispered, "I was going to let you talk to mommy on the phone, but if you're busy, just forget it!"

"Give her the phone!" Blake said anxiously.

Noah grinned. He handed the phone watch to me and said, "Mommy, say a few words to daddy. Even though you can't be together, don't be enemies, OK?"

I had to take the phone watch.

Noah pulled Hedwig and ran away. He said to her, "Come on and race with me. If you win, I'll give you my toys. If you lose, I'll take away your favorite toy and hide it."

"I won't lose! Bad Noah!" Hedwig said loudly.

I knew Noah took Hedwig on purpose. He wanted Blake and me to have some time alone.

"Blake!" I greeted Blake in a low voice.

"Nothing happened on your way back, right?" Blake's voice was low as well.

"It was OK!" I suddenly didn't know what to say to him.

When we were in the hotel, we wished we could be together at all times.

But now, I no longer dared to be so intimate with him.

"Noah and Hedwig must have missed you a lot," Blake said.

"Yes," I replied in a low voice.

"What are your plans for tomorrow?" Blake asked.

"Go to work," I said.

"If anyone in the company bullies you, tell me. I will help you deal with it," Blake said domineeringly.

I smiled, "It seems that I still have a backer in the company."

"As long as I am here, I will always be your backer. If anyone dares to bully you, just tell me," Blake said seriously.

Hearing Blake's words, I was in a better mood instantly, and I felt intimate with him again.

"If you really want me to feel better in the company, you should give Melinda a promotion. With her taking care of me, I have nothing to worry about," I put in a good word for Melinda. This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

"OK. I'll give her a raise and a promotion tomorrow," Blake agreed.

"Thanks!" I said with a smile.

"You don't have to thank me. You earned it," Blake said in a low voice. "Cathy, I want to come down and see you."

"I want to see you, too," I looked up at the light in his study and said. "But I don't think it's the right time. We'll have other chances. We shouldn't meet when Emerson and Patricia are nearby."

"Noah and Hedwig are coming back soon. That's it for now. I'm hanging up." I saw that Hedwig was crying, so I quickly hung up.

"Hedwig, what's wrong? Why are you crying?" I asked while holding Hedwig.

"Noah won. He wanted to hide my favorite toy! He wouldn't let me play with it!" Hedwig said sadly.

I was amused by Hedwig. I wiped her tears and comforted her in a low voice, "Hedwig, don't cry. I'll talk to Noah. I'm sure he won't take your toy away from you."

"Really? Mommy, talk to him now!" Hedwig said anxiously.

Noah laughed and ran over. He said, "Stupid Hedwig, you lost. Have you decided which toy you want to give me?"

Hedwig hid behind me. She said with a grievance, "That's not fair. Your legs are much longer than mine. How can I run faster than you?!"

"But we are the same age."

"It's not the same. You are older than me, but you didn't give in to me!" Hedwig retorted.

Noah knew Hedwig well. I knew he said it deliberately.

"Well, since you are younger than me, I'll cut you some slack this time!" Noah said.

I stroked Noah's head and said, "Alright then. I'm sure both of you are tired now. Let's go back to take a shower and sleep."

My kids and I walked home.
