Chapter 71
Catherine’s POV
After dinner at Mabel’s place, Noah and Hedwig were already sleepy.
“Daddy…” Hedwig immediately crawled into Blake’s arms, wanting to sleep.
Noah was also a little sleepy and somewhat tired.
After I said goodbye to Mabel, Blake and I left Mabel’s place with Hedwig and Noah in our arms.
“You take the kids home. I’ll drive myself.” When we reached the door of Mabel’s place, I decided not to go with Blake.
Blake did not insist. “OK. Drive safely.”
His sudden concern surprised me. I didn’t say anything. I simply nodded and handed Noah over to him,
After I got into the car, I didn’t start the car immediately. I sat in the car and was in a daze for a while.
I had to admit that Blake was becoming better. He wasn’t as aggressive as before. Also, his indifferent and hostile demeanors that I hated were gone. I found it easier to communicate with him, and just now, he showed his concerns about me.
Why the change?
His behavior confused me.
I decided to forget about it. Anyway, I wouldn’t change my idea of him no matter how surprising he could be.
I wouldn’t throw myself at him for the sake of the kids.
By the time I drove back to the villa, Blake had already put Hedwig to bed.
I quickly returned to my bedroom to take a bath. Then, when I sat on the sofa to have a rest, Blake also came out with Noah, who had finished bathing.
I was planning to talk to Blake about what Leo did today.
Noah, go upstairs. It’s time to sleep. I have something to talk to your daddy,” I said to Noah.
Blake was wearing a grey nightgown, and his short hair was still dripping. He took a towel and wiped his hair. Hearing me speak, he immediately walked over.
Noah was sensible, and he ran upstairs at once. He was swift, and he disappeared in an instant.
“What is it?” asked Blake. Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.
I looked indifferent, but there was a hint of annoyance in my voice. “Your brother, Leo, came to see me in the company at noon.”
“What? Why?” Blake’s expression changed instantly. He frowned.
I sneered, “He wants Noah and Hedwig to sign with his company. He wants to make them famous.”
“What?” The corner of Blake’s mouth twitched. Clearly, he also thought that Leo was outrageous.
I knew that Blake would be surprised. I said indifferently, “I turned him down, and he seemed annoyed. He asked my superior to be there right away, and I was fired.”
Blake froze again. Then he asked, “He had you fired, and then you just came back like this?”

“Of course. What else can I do? I can’t make a scene and have a big fight with him in the company, can I? If so, everyone will know that I have two kids. I don’t want that. They still think I’m single,” I replied, pouting.
Upon hearing my words, Blake Immediately sneered, “Are you worried that the male werewolves will lose interest in you if they find out that you have kids? Don’t tell me you think one of thern might be your mate.”
I felt a little angry at his sarcasm. “That’s right. I don’t want others to know that I have kids. Do you think being a single mother is something I want to brag about? Do you know the ridicule i got after I gave birth? I don’t want that kind of life ever again. Besides, who says I can’t find my mate with the two kids I have? You are still looking for your Lycan Luna, aren’t you?”
Blake was choked by my words. He couldn’t say a word.
“Rest assured. I’ll talk to Leo tomorrow morning. I promise. He’ll never bother you again,” Blake promised, as if to comfort me.
Hearing this, I became less angry. But I still felt frustrated. “I still want to go back to work.”
“Sure. You can go back tomorrow. I promise no one will ever do anything to you again.” Blake nodded.
I turned to look at him and then stood up. “Thank you!”
I got my job back. Problem solved. At the thought of this, I was in a better mood. Yet I could not sleep after I returned to my room.
Hedwig was lying next to me. I noticed that she wasn’t sleeping soundly. I reached out, wanting to hold her.
As soon as I touched her body, I found that her body was burning. Based on my years of experience, she had a fever.
I quickly turned on the light and looked at her face. Indeed, it was red.
My sleepiness vanished at once. I hurriedly got out of bed, left my room, and opened the door of the next room.
The room was dark.
I reached out to push Blake’s arm. As soon as I touched his arm, he caught my wrist hard. I couldn’t help but cry out in pain.
Then the pain in my wrist lessened. In the darkness, I heard his low voice, “What do you want?”
“Hedwig is having a fever.” I was still pressing on my wrist. For a moment, I felt that my bones would be crushed. My wrist still hurts.
Hearing that Hedwig was sick, Blake sat up in bed at once.
“Sorry. Does it still hurt?” Blake suddenly lowered his voice and asked me.
I glared at him and walked out the door.
What the hell? All I did was give him a gentle push. And he looked like he was about to kill me!
Blake followed me quickly and grabbed my wrist. He said, “Apply some ointment later. I didn’t mean it.”
I quickly withdrew my hand from his large palm. “It’s fine. I’m not that fragile. Hedwig needs us now.”
I wasn’t pretending to be brave. Werewolves were far more resilient than humans. Even if we were seriously injured, we could still recover.
