Blake’s POV
A trace of dissatisfaction flashed across Scarlett’s face when she saw me and Catherine standing together. I caught her subtle expression in that instant.
After Noah invited her to join us, she instantly showed a gentle expression and wanted to stroke Noah’s head.
Yet Noah dodged immediately. Her hand froze in the air, and she did not get to stroke Noah’s head. She retracted her hand awkwardly.
“Blake, let’s go! Hurry! i can eat way much more with her eating together!” Noah said as he walked.
I looked at Noah and then at Scarlett. Finally, my eyes fell on Catherine’s face.
Catherine deliberately turned her face away,
“OK. Then let’s dine together.” I suddenly couldn’t say anything to refuse when facing Noah.
The corner of Scarlett’s mouth curled into a smile as she followed me into the elevator.
She intentionally pushed Catherine to a corner of the elevator and stood beside me.
of course, Catherine would not show any objections, since she needed to take care of Noah and Hedwig for now.
Scarlett turned her head to look at the baby sleeping soundly in Howard’s arms and asked curiously, “Howard, is this your daughter? Have you found your mate? How come I didn’t know that?”
We were all members of the royal pack, so, she would be one of the guests if Howard got married.
“Yes, she is my daughter,” Howard answered frankly.
“An illegitimate daughter?” Scarlett asked bluntly. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
Howard pulled a long face immediately. His tone became indifferent as he said, “I am holding her in my arms. How can she be an illegitimate daughter?”
Only then did Scarlett realize that she had said something wrong. She smiled dryly and brushed her long hair. “That’s right. I’m sorry. I’m just a bit curious. Why haven’t you got married now that you already have a daughter?”
“You’re not young. I didn’t see you getting married,” Howard curled his lips and mocked her subtly.
Scarlett’s face stiffened slightly. She had always been sensitive to her age, so she stopped talking at once.
When the elevator doors opened, I took the lead and walked out. Scarlett walked beside me leisurely. I turned around and saw Catherine leading the kids with her hands and following behind me.
“Catherine, your hand is so warm!” Just as we walked along the corridor leading to the private room, Noah suddenly said, being artificial deliberately.
I also turned around to look at Noah.
How could he say these words so artificially and naturally at the same time?
I couldn’t help but recall that Hedwig once told me all about Catherine’s male friends.
Did Catherine make Noah do the same when she brought Noah and Hedwig to see those men?
I was getting more determined. It was something Catherine would do.
When Hedwig heard Noah’s words, she also shouted excitedly, “He’s right, Catherine! Your hand is so warm!”
Howard couldn’t help but chuckle, and Noah immediately rolled his eyes at Howard,
“Howard, did you fart just now?” Hearing Noah’s question, Howard glared at Noah, who deliberately distorted the
truth.
I was getting more and more confused. What were Noah and Hedwig thinking? But I was glad to play along with them.
By now, I had a basic understanding of my kids. Still, Noah would sometimes surprise me,
I wanted to know how shrewd Noah was. Otherwise, I might be tricked by him again sometime in the future.
The door of the private room opened, and we walked in.
It was a very luxurious suite. It had a dining room outside, and inside was a small and exquisite lounge.
Since it was still early to eat, some of us sat on the sofa, drinking coffee and having desserts.
As soon as Hedwig saw the delicious food, her eyes lit up. She immediately grabbed most of it with her hands. Noah wanted to take a nut from her, and she glared at him.
I was so satisfied when I saw how cute Noah and Hedwig were.
Howard held Ash in his arms and sat down. However, she woke up instantly. She opened her eyes and started crying.
“Catherine, help me make some milk, OK?” Howard had already kept Catherine’s words in mind.
Catherine quickly took the bottle out. She cleaned it, poured water into it, tested the water temperature, put the milk powder in, and shook the bottle a few times gently.
“Catherine, can I have some milk? It looks great!” Hedwig immediately showed a lovely smile and stood beside Catherine.
“You’ll have to ask Howard if it’s OK. It’s his formula,” said Catherine.
Hedwig immediately ran over to Howard and smiled sweetly at him. She looked at him shyly and asked, “Howard, can I have some of Ash’s formula?”
Howard smiled gently and said, “Of course you can. You need more milk to grow up faster.”
Seeing that Howard agreed, Hedwig then immediately ran to Catherine happily. “Catherine, Howard said yes. Hurry up and fix me one glass, please!”
As soon as I sat down, my gaze was glued to Hedwig’s cute and delicate face. Then, I looked at Catherine with deep and obscure eyes. As I watched her fix Hedwig’s milk, I saw the radiance of maternal love shining on her brightly, making me feel utterly satisfied and happy.
Scarlett looked at Catherine. Then she turned her head and asked me in French, “These two children are a lot like you. Could they be your younger brother’s?”
Hearing Scarlett speaking to me in French, I felt annoyed, and a trace of annoyance flashed across my face. I only replied in French, “No.”
Scarlett was sensitive. She smiled and no longer asked further.
Noah sat next to me, his feet folded together. He glanced at Scarlett with his big bright eyes and immediately asked in French. “Do vou like Blake?”
