Chapter 336
Catherine's POV
I was just reaching out to respond to Blake's hug when Patricia's voice suddenly came from the stairs. "Why are you two hugging each other here? There are still children at home. Isn't it too much for you two to do this?"
Patricia's voice startled me, and I quickly pushed Blake away.
When Blake heard Patricia's voice, his body tensed up. Then, he let go of me and walked toward the bedroom.
"What happened to him?" Seeing that Blake had not even greeted her, Patricia was stunned.
I hastily chuckled and said, "He might be a little tired from work. Patricia, don't mind him."
"Of course not. He has made me mad countless times since he was young." Patricia smiled. I laughed softly, "I'll check on him."
Then, I held his coat and walked quickly to the bedroom.
I opened the door and saw him sitting on the sofa with a blank face. His eyes were glistening with tears. I was shocked.
"What happened to you?" I couldn't help but walk to his side and ask softly.
"I'm fine." Blake shifted his gaze elsewhere.
"Are you in a bad mood? If you don't want to say it, I'll go out first. You'll leave you alone." I found that his mood was very strange at the moment, so I tried not to disturb him.
"Okay." Blake nodded.
I went to check the children's homework. As soon as the two little guys came back, they were doing their homework from werewolf school.
I sat beside the two children, occasionally giving them some comments and praising them. The little guys were very happy.
However, I was a little absent-minded. I felt that something must have happened to Blake. He looked as if he was about to break down.
I felt so sorry for him.
"Mommy, a classmate's mommy brought her sister to school today. Her sister is so small and cute." As Hedwig was doing manual work, she was constantly speaking.
I asked with a smile, "Is that so?"
"Mommy, I'm thinking about whether to have a little sister to play with,' Hedwig said seriously.
I was amused by her idea. "Do you want a little sister to play with you?"
"Yes, she will be my little follower and my little tail in the future, and I will be her big sister,' Hedwig said in an excited tone.
I was speechless. This little guy wanted a little follower.
'Hedwig, even if you have a little sister, you can't bully her. She is not your toy. You have to protect her and cherish her. Do you understand?" I said softly.
Hedwig blinked her big eyes. "Well, then will you give me a sister?"
I was stumped.
'Mommy, please. I beg you. I really want to have a little sister,' Hedwig pleaded.
'Promise her. I think she is serious." A low male voice came from behind me.
I was stunned and turned back to see Blake standing at the door. He heard our conversation.
"Daddy, is that true? Will Mommy give birth to a little sister?" When Hedwig heard this, she was very happy.
I looked at Blake and found that he did not seem to be in the same mood as before. I was relieved and smiled, "I remember that you promised your daughter before that you would not have other children."
I teased Blake, but Blake was not angry at all. "Back then, it was Hedwig who said that she did not want any younger brother or sister. That was why I agreed to it. Now, she wants a sister. So, I can't let her down."
I was instantly speechless. He doted on his daughter.
Hedwig happily rushed over. Her two small hands held two of Blake's slender fingers. She proudly said, "Daddy is the best."
I was dumbfounded. When did my silly daughter become so cunning? She must have been led astray by Noah. 'Mommy, when can you give me a sister? Can you give me a sister next month? I want my sister to grow up soon and play with me soon." When Hedwig saw that her request was satisfied, she began to push her luck.
"Stupid Hedwig." Noah, who already knew common sense, couldn't stand Hedwig's words, and he complained in a low voice.
On the other hand, Blake turned a little serious and said, "You shouldn't call your sister like that again."
Since Hedwig had someone to support her, she snorted proudly. "That's right. I am not stupid, but I will become stupid if you keep calling me like this."
Seeing that the two little guys were about to start arguing again, I had to stand up and gently coax them, "Now, be quiet. Hurry up and finish your homework. Whoever skips homework is not allowed to eat.'
In fact, Hedwig was very afraid of me. Although I was usually very gentle and easy to talk to, it would not be fun if I got angry.
Only then did the two little fellows obediently sit at the table and continue with their homework.
I winked at Blake, signaling not to disturb them anymore.
Blake followed me straight back to the bedroom.
After closing the door, I looked back at him and asked, "Are you alright?"
'I'm fine,' Blake replied softly.
"That's good." I didn't ask further, but the expression on Blake's face just now still made me worry.
"Have you found Olivia?" I thought of what he had done today and asked him in a low voice.
"No, I don't know where she went. I can't find her for now." Blake's face was cold.
I was a little surprised. 'Is she hiding because she feels guilty and afraid?"
'Maybe, but I will find her as soon spossible. She can't hide for long." Blake said grimly.
"Yes, I believe you can find her." I encouraged him in a soft voice.
The gloomy look on Blake's face gradually dissipated after my gentle support. He walked toward me, wrapped his long arms around me, and once again pressed me into his chest. His lips softly touched my earlobe.
"After all of this is over, we should consider having another child. Hedwig might really be envious of other people having younger sisters."
In my ear was his low, hoarse, and sexy voice. His breathing was hot. My whole body trembled slightly.
I thought he was kidding just now. Why did he sound more and more serious?
"It's not so simple and fun to have another child. Let's think about it carefully." I immediately expressed that I did not have this idea at the moment.
"I missed the time when Hedwig and Noah were babies. I wanted to experience the joy of seeing my child growing up little by little." Sure enough, his expression was very earnest. He didn't seem to be kidding.Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
I trembled once again. Thinking back to the days when I raised the two naughty little guys alone and lived in a mess, I didn't have the slightest courage to have another child.
"Believe me, that definitely isn't a type of pleasure," I said resolutely.
After that, Blake gently pushed me away from his embrace. He carefully looked at my expression. Seeing that I did not seem to be joking, he frowned and asked, "Why isn't it fun? Hedwig and Noah looked very cute in the photos when they were little. They must have been very lovely at that time."
I smiled bitterly, "Looking at the photos, of course, makes you feel that they are fun. However, it is not fun to take care of children. There are many things to do, and it consumes a lot of energy."
'I have money. I can ask people to help us," Blake said, and there was no hint of pride in it because he was indeed very rich and could do anything.
'Even so, as parents, we will need to do a lot. Now we have Hedwig and Noah. Do you not think it is enough?"
Blake's handsome face was blank for a moment. He whispered, "I've heard that giving birth to a child is very painful. Cathy, you must have suffered a lot."
I was stunned. Then I said, "Pain is not the main problem. After all, it is all in the past. However, I think two children are enough."
'Really? But I still want to see who our next child will take after." There was a look of expectation and curiosity on Blake's face.
I realized that I was unable to communicate with this man.
'Let's not talk about this topic for now, okay? It's time to eat. Let's go downstairs first." I immediately walked past
him.
Unexpectedly, he reached out, grabbed my wrist, and gently pulled me.
I panicked and fell into his arms again. The next second, he reached out his slender fingers, grabbed my chin, and kissed my lips.
I didn't know what Blake wanted to do, but when he kissed me, my mind instantly went blank. All my thoughts. seemed frozen. I could only feel his kiss getting deeper and deeper.
Soon, our breathing became a little unsteady. I was out of breath.
'I'm in a better mood." Blake patted my little face. "Go downstairs."
Although I didn't know why he was upset earlier, since he said he felt better, I wouldn't think about his actions just now. I went downstairs first.
When Blake changed into pajamas and came down, Patricia was sitting on the sofa, thinking about something. I helped the two children sit on the chairs.
'Patricia.' Hearing Blake's voice, Patricia smiled at him, "Have you been busy with work recently? Don't be too tired. You should rest more, understand?"
'Don't worry, Patricia. I exercise every day," Blake replied in a gentle voice.
Patricia once again muttered, 'I wonder when Richard will be back."
I thought that Patricia and Emerson still wanted to meet their youngest son.
"If you want to see him, I can give him a call and ask him to come back early."
Patricia sighed, "Forget it. Let him be. Tell Nick and Leo to come home for a meal. How about tomorrow t noon?
I will arrange it."
For some reason, when he heard these words, Blake's expression became sad again.
