Chapter 142
I was embarrassed, and I had a feeling. He did it on purpose!
Just as he was about to get handsy and wanted to make a further move, the voices of Hedwig and Noah cfrom outside the study.
"It's so strange. Where are daddy and mommy? They are not in mommy's room, and they are not in daddy's room. Are they out?" Hedwig said in a panicked tone since she couldn't find us.
Noah reached out and knocked on her head. "You fool. Look at the lights in the study. They must be inside."
After Noah finished speaking, he raised his hand and was about to twist the doorknob.
Meanwhile, Blake and I, who were inside the study, stiffened. I reached out my hand almost instinctively and pushed Blake away.
As soon as I bounced off his arms, I saw Noah open the door and cin with Hedwig.
"Daddy, mommy, you are here! I want smilk... Mommy, can you fixa glass of Ash's formula?" Hedwig said pitifully.
I hastily tidied up my slightly messy hair and turned my back, not daring to let the kids see my blushing face.
"Hedwig, let's go. I will fix you a glass." Blake walked to Hedwig and naturally held her in his arms.
Yet Noah noticed that something was wrong with me. He went toand looked up at me. "Mommy, what's wrong? Did daddy bully you again?"
I stammered, "No ... no."
Blake immediately said faintly, "Noah, you are wrong. I was the one being bullied."
When I heard Blake's words, I immediately turned around and glared at him. Wasn't the scene chaotic enough? How could he say such misleading words?
However, Blake smiled complacently. Before I got angry, he carried Hedwig and walked out.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNoah blinked and then said happily, "Mommy, you are so capable. You can bully daddy now. Keep up the good work. Keep bullying daddy in the future. I don't want to see mommy suffer any grievances."
As I listened to Noah's words, I burst out laughing. Indeed, my son doted onthe most.
I squatted down, hugged Noah, and kissed his face a few times. "Don't worry. Mommy is tough. I won't be easily bullied."
"Good! Mommy, don't be afraid of the bad guys. Daddy got your back." Noah was so sweet. He stroked my hair.
I looked at Noah who was comfortingwith one of his eyes swollen. I suddenly felt that all the grievances I had suffered were worth it. Because I was protected by Noah, which madefeel very safe.
When I held Noah's hand and went downstairs, I saw Blake fix milk for Hedwig for the first time, and he was in a muddle.
Dowen watched from aside and anxiously reminded Blake, "You put too much water in. Be careful not to burn your hands."
By the tBlake brought a glass of milk to Hedwig's mouth, he looked very tired.
"Thank you, daddy! Daddy is the best!" Hedwig praised him sweetly.
Blake said gently, "Drink now before it gets cold."
"Well... The thing I mentioned just now, you..." I walked in front of Blake and said to him tentatively.
"We'll need to talk more about it later." Blake turned toand replied with a little evil.
Did we need to talk more about it?
He was so cheeky. He agreed just now. Why would we still need to talk about it?
I was certain that Blake was teasing me. I had just kissed him at his request, and now he wantedto talk to him later?
I was a little angry somehow. However, I couldn't afford to provoke him at this tsince I needed him to dothe favor.
I had learned my lesson. I shouldn't try to pull a stunt ever again if I couldn't deliver my promise.
Otherwise, I would end up the sas this right now. After suffering in silence, I still had to pretend that I was willing.
At dinner time, Blake went upstairs to knock on Howard's door.
I followed Blake up the stairs.
As soon as Blake knocked the first time, Howard jumped up from the bed and quickly ran over to open the door slowly, whispering, "What?"
"It's tfor dinner. Your daughter hasn't woken up yet?" asked
Howard turned his head to take a look.
"She is awake now!" As soon as Howard opened the door, Ash saw Blake. She was so frightened that she pouted her mouth immediately and began to cry.
Howard immediately turned around, picked up Ash, and said to Blake, "You are scaring Ash. You go ahead. I'll cdown after changing her diaper."
It was the first tBlake was told that he made someone scared. Blake's handsface instantly went gloomy.
I tried my best to hold back my laughter.
I washed Hedwig and Noah's hands and led them to sit in a row on the dining chairs.
After a short while, Howard went downstairs to have dinner with Ash in his arms.
I held Ash in my arms and fed her something to drink, and Howard was extremely grateful.
After dinner, everyone acted in an orderly manner. I took a bath for Hedwig and Ash each, and then I took Hedwig to bed.
Hedwig's sleeping habits becmore and more regular. Previously, because of the strange environment, she always woke up in the middle of the night and refused to get back to sleep, and she even wet the bed occasionally.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNow she was more and more familiar with her new home. She could quickly fall asleep while holding my arm.
Seeing that Hedwig was already sleeping soundly, I gently put her hands away from my arm and tucked her in. Then I turned over and got out of bed.
It was already past nine o'clock. Normally, I would be sleepy and want to sleep as well.
But why was I not sleepy at all right now?
On the contrary, I felt more awake as the night went deeper.
I was speechless about my abnormality. When I thought about it carefully, I realized that Blake's words were the reason why I behaved like this.
He said we should talk more about the thing later.
The night was late now.
I wondered whether he wanted to talk or not. If not, I would go to sleep.
I had no choice but to spend so much effort on this. I didn't want to.
I had to get back to Melinda at work tomorrow morning. I couldn't sleep before getting Blake's reply.
Finally, I decided to go and talk to Blake. I walked to the door of his room and reached out to push the door. However, I hesitated and put my hand down.
But I had to figure it out. Would he agree and get Melinda a promotion or not?
Otherwise, what was I supposed to tell Melinda when I went to work tomorrow morning?
I didn't want to disappoint Melinda, because she must have been looking forward to it for a long time.
I kept twisting my hands. Wouldn't I be too proactive in doing this?
While I was in a dilemma, my eyes inadvertently swept across the corridor.
In an instant, I met a pair of smiling eyes.
I felt like I was struck by lightning. I was dumbfounded. In the next second, I turned around and ran to my room.
