Chapter 44
Blake’s POV
How could I call Catherine at this time? What if Catherine thought that I was concerned about her? Wouldn’t it make her extremely proud?
“Hedwig, your mommy might be back soon. Don’t worry.” I immediately reached out and touched my daughter’s little head to comfort her.
Hedwig lowered her head and ate a few more. She raised her little head again and stared at me intently. “Daddy, just make a call. Let me talk to mommy for a while. I really miss her.”
Facing my daughter’s pair of clear and innocent eyes, I couldn’t find a reason to refuse her.

“Okay, daddy will call your mommy now.” I had to take out my phone.
I really hoped that Catherine wouldn’t hear the phone ringing.
“Daddy, put it on speaker, so we can all talk to mommy,” Noah suddenly suggested.
I looked at my son’s big bright eyes and suddenly felt powerless. I had no choice but to turn on the speaker and put my phone on the table.

My phone kept ringing for seconds. I thought proudly in my heart. It seemed that Catherine really did not hear the phone ringing.
This was good as well, in case she thought that I was really worried about her.
Just as I was about to heave a sigh of relief, I heard Catherine’s voice from the other side of the line.
“Hello?” Her voice was very calm, and there was a hint of impatience in it.
I had no choice but to say indifferently, “The children wanted to call you.”
“Mommy… Mommy, come back quickly. Daddy said that those men would do something bad to you.” As soon as Hedwig heard Catherine’s voice, she immediately shouted.
“Hedwig?” Catherine immediately called Hedwig’s name in shock.
Afraid that Catherine wouldn’t hear her, Hedwig snatched the phone and put it in front of her. She continued, “Mommy, can you go home? Hedwig is worried about you.”
“Hedwig, mommy is fine. No one dares to bully mommy. Don’t worry. Mommy will be back with you after dinner.” Catherine had to comfort her daughter with the gentlest voice.
Noah asked, “Mommy, are you eating with a man or a woman? Are you safe?”
Was there a need for these two little fellows to make such a fuss over nothing? Now it was as if the
world was about to end.
“Mommy is having dinner with a lady. Don’t worry, I’m still eating. We can talk when I’m home!” Catherine said with a hint of doubt.**
“Mommy, don’t worry. Daddy said he will send guards to protect you,” Hedwig said at the end of the line, which made me want to knock myself out.
“Alright, alright, hurry up and eat. I have something to say to your mom…” I felt that if the two little guys continued talking, my image would be ruined.
So, I took the phone, stood up, and walked toward the living room.
“Hello…” I pretended to be cold and indifferent.
“Humph!” The woman only gave a loud snort, and then hung up the phone.
I totally froze.
That damned woman directly hung up on me. How could she treat me like this?
In order to not let the children know that I had lost face, I had to go further.
By the time I returned to the dining table, the two little ones were very curious about what topic Catherine and I had talked about.
“Hurry up and eat. After dinner, I will watch a movie with you.” I had to gently dispel the worries of
the two little guys.
After dinner, I brought the two children to the screening room of the villa to play the movie for them while I rested.on the side.
While the two kids were watching happily, the door suddenly opened.
Catherine walked in and I had no idea when she went back. She should have taken a bath. Her long hair was still a little wet, with a trace of moisture, which made her look charming.
However, she didn’t seem to be happy.
“Mommy…” The little fellows turned around at the same time and cried out in joy when they saw her.
Catherine pointed to the screen. “Just watch the movie by yourselves. Mommy has something to say to your daddy.”
I narrowed my eyes. When I saw that Catherine had returned quite early, I didn’t feel so frustrated.
“What is it?” I asked in a tone of displeasure and indifference.
Catherine looked at me. “Come out!”
I was even more displeased. What kind of tone was she using? How could she be so arrogant
I was even more displeased. What kind of tone was she using? How could she be so arrogant towards me?
However, although I didn’t like the way Catherine spoke to me, I still followed her out.
When Catherine saw that I had come out, she walked forward in silence.
I knew what she wanted to say and I also knew why she led me away. She just didn’t want the kids to hear our conversation later.
I followed her to the end of the corridor and pushed open the door. Outside was a spacious open-air balcony.
There were expensive flowers and wood planted on the balcony. The simple and elegant lights were slightly dim, but they made the place more peaceful.
Catherine hurriedly walked to the railing with her arms crossed. She suddenly turned around and stared at me with her eyes full of anger. “Did you say something you shouldn’t say to the kids?”
I looked at Catherine’s eyes as she questioned me. Under the warm light, her eyes were as bright as the stars in the sky, shining with light.
I looked at her blankly for a moment before hearing her question.
“What do you think I shouldn’t say? Do you have a problem with me educating my kids?” I narrowed my eyes slightly, looking confident.
Catherine choked for a moment. Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
“They said I was in danger. What danger could i be in? I just went out for a meal with a friend.” Catherine crossed her arms over her chest.
She seemed indifferent and didn’t take me seriously at all. When seeing this, I suddenly reached out a hand and forcefully propped it against the railing beside Catherine.
Catherine was so shocked that her whole body froze. She looked up at my face, her expression a little embarrassed.
“Go away. Don’t get so close to me!” Catherine almost instinctively wanted to escape from me,
When she wanted to twist her waist and move to the side, I pretended to be intentional and lazily put another hand on her other side. This time, I really trapped her petite body in my arms.
