Chapter 140
Catherine's POV
"What happened?" I asked, looking at Noah.
"I don't know. When I got to school in the morning, I suddenly felt very nervous, and then I felt scared. I fell without noticing," Noah said.
I was stunned. I realized that it might have been the same time while I was being injured.
Did Noah sense something because of his connection with me?
But Noah was still so young, and he hadn't had his wolf yet. So, I dismissed the idea.
I glanced at him. "Did you apply some ointment?"
"Yes. The teacher helped me do it. The teacher was scared. She must have thought that daddy wanted to pick on her." Noah laughed proudly.
I was speechless. What kind of attitude was that?
"You can't blame your teacher for this. You deserve it, and your daddy has no right to pick on her," I immediately scolded Noah sternly, not allowing him to use Blake as his shield and be complacent.
Noah immediately fell silent.
Hedwig gloated, "Noah, does it still hurt?"
"Go away!" Noah turned his head and refused to look at Hedwig.
I gave Hedwig a stern look and warned her, "No more jokes with
your brother."
"Mommy, Noah has a big dark circle under his eye!" Hedwig was still laughing.
Noah immediately covered his injured eye. "Stupid Hedwig! I don't want to talk to you. I'm going upstairs to play with my toys."
"Noah is shy," yelled Hedwig.
I looked at the two kids bickering and couldn't help but smile. Noah had his lesson this time. I didn't think he dared to be naughty again.
The sky outside the window gradually darkened. I came out of the bathroom and wiped the water from my long hair. I looked at the completely dark sky and felt inexplicably nervous.
I realized that I had to talk to Blake tonight about Melinda's promotion.
At the thought of asking him for a favor, I felt uncomfortable.
Asking someone for a favor was already a difficult thing to do, not to mention that the other party was Blake.
I remembered that the last time I asked him for a favor, he directly kissed me...
And this time... Well, I was kissed by him at noon. Did that count?
As I was lost in my thoughts, I suddenly heard the sound of the car stall downstairs. My heart beat wildly.
I dried my hair a little faster. When I changed into my pajamas and went downstairs, I saw Hedwig lying in Blake's arms. She was telling Blake about what happened to Noah in school.
"Noah has been crying for a long time. His face was full of snot and tears. He looked so ugly!" Hedwig said with a smile.
Blake gently stroked Hedwig's soft long hair and kissed her face. "Then you should be careful. Don't be as naughty as your brother. If you fall and get hurt, it will break my heart."
"Daddy, Noah fell. Are you heartbroken now?" When Hedwig heard that Blake was so nice to her, she immediately grinned even more happily.
"He deserves it. Daddy is not heartbroken," said Blake.
"Noah has to squint his eyes. I even think that he will fall again!" Hedwig said, imitating Noah.
Just as Blake was laughing happily, he saw me walk down the stairs while holding the handrail.
I, who had already taken a bath, was wearing a slightly loose white long T-shirt and a pair of beige sandals.
Blake's eyes darkened as he stared at me.
"Mommy..." Hedwig immediately broke free from Blake's arms, ran over, stood on the staircase, and waited for me to come down.
"Daddy is back! Daddy bought me a cute doll. It can dance! Mommy, come and check it out!" Hedwig proudly took the gift Blake had given her, wanting to show it to me.
My gaze moved from Blake to the beautiful and delicate doll in Hedwig's arms.
"It can even play music. Daddy, mommy, I can dance! Look at me!" Hedwig's delicate body was already spinning around with the music.
I looked at Hedwig, who was so overjoyed. I knew that it was because Blake and I were by her side.
Hedwig was not so cheerful and optimistic in the past. It was Blake
who changed his daughter little by little.
He made Hedwig more and more confident. He made Hedwig more and more dare to show her happiness.
Thinking of this, I looked at Blake with a hint of complexity in my eyes.
Our gazes immediately intertwined in the air.
My heart skipped a beat. I hurriedly looked away. My heart trembled so violently that it was almost overwhelming.
"Hedwig, go upstairs and play with the doll. I have something to talk to daddy." I thought about the thing with Melinda's promotion. I needed to discuss it with Blake as soon as possible.
Hedwig was already immersed in her beautiful dance and refused to stop. She muttered, "I don't want to go upstairs to play with Noah. He is so bored. Daddy, mommy, if you want to talk, can you go upstairs? I want to dance with my doll here!"
I was helpless with Hedwig's overbearing character. I glanced at Blake.
Blake smiled and said, "Let's go. Hedwig makes the decisions for our family."
Hearing his words, Hedwig immediately giggled.
I had no choice but to turn around and head upstairs.
Blake stroked Hedwig's head and followed me upstairs.
After reaching the corridor on the second floor, I was in a dilemma and didn't know which way to go.
The tall man who followed me upstairs patted my shoulder. "Let's talk in my study!"
I was so frightened by his sudden move that my whole body trembled. Before I could reply, he had already walked straight to his study.
I had to follow him to the other side of the corridor.
The door of the study room was pushed open. Blake turned on the light. Under the bright light, I became more nervous.
Blake did not sit on the sofa, nor did he sit on the chair. He had his hands in his pockets and was leaning against his desk leisurely. His deep eyes locked on me, and he said in a low voice, "Tell me. What do you want to talk to me?"
I bit my lip and gathered my courage to say, "Guy, the head of the Design Department, seems to have been taken away by the pack guards for investigation. Do you know what happened?"
"Yes. Vanessa said he was an accomplice." Blake nodded.
"Then he won't be able to come back to work in the future, right?" I asked in a hurry.Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
