Catherine’s POV
Dowen picked up his phone and dialed a number,
He told Blake that I was going to take the kids to Mabel’s place for dinner in the next second, Blake asked him to hand over the phone to me.
“Ms. Wyatt, King Blake wants to talk to you.”
I took the phone and put it against my ear. “What do you want to say?”
“I don’t think you should take them out. I’m afraid they’ll be in danger,” said Blake.
“Do you think you can trap them in the school and your place forever?” I knew he was looking out for the kids. But if the price of being his kids was losing other kinds of happiness, I’d rather exclude him from Noah and Hedwig’s lives.
Hearing my words, Blake pondered for a few seconds. Then he said, “OK. You can take them away. But I’ll have dinner together with them tonight.”
“What?” His condition surprised me. I immediately frowned.
“Do you not understand what I’m saying? I would go to Mabel’s place for dinner as well. By the way, ask Dowen to send you there. I don’t trust you to drive the kids.” He hung up the phone after speaking.
“What an asshole!” I was a bit angry. Enjoying sttogether with my kids and Mabel was very rare. His presence would ruin the atmosphere totally.
“Ms. Wyatt, did King Blake hang up?” Dowen was startled.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtI gave him the phone back, and I returned to normal. “Dowen, please take us there later.”
Around half past four, my two kids appeared at the school gate.
“Mommy…” Hedwig sawfirst and ran over excitedly.
Noah grinned
“Dowen, how cyou and mommy are both here?” Hedwig threw herself into my arms and asked curiously.
I kissed Hedwig’s face and asked with a gentle smile, “Hedwig, do you want to eat at Mabel’s place tonight?”
“Really? That’s great!” Hedwig’s face was full of happiness
“Let’s go, then.” I put her down and turned to drive my car,
“Well? Can you guys have dinner at my place tonight?” Mabel cup and asked me.
“I asked him, and he said yes. But … he wanted to join us.” I thought of how justified he sounded, and I felt frustrated.
“What? King Blake is coming? Let’s hurry back and make preparations.” Mabel was very surprised.
“Mabel, no need to hurry!” I stopped her quickly and took her into the car. Then I drove behind the motorcade.
Around half past six in the evening, Noah and Hedwig were sitting in the living room eating fruit, watching cartoons, and running around the sofa a few times.
They were so happy, like two little fools. Then, they suddenly heard the doorbell ring.
“Catherine, open the door,” Mabel urged me.
I walked over to the door. Sure enough, Blake was standing at the door in a suit.
“King Blake! Please cin.” Mabel had a trace of respect on her face.
“Daddy! You’re here as well?” Hedwig and Noah immediately jumped off the sofa.
Blake politely said to Mabel, “Hello.”
“Hello!” Mabel was both excited and nervous.
Hedwig looked up and laughed happily. “Daddy, I am so happy that you can come. I want nothing but our family to eat together!”
The word “family” made Blake smile.
Yet I pretended not to hear. I didn’t think Blake could be our family. After all, Leo just gavea hard tat noon
today.
“Daddy, chere! Sit here!” Hedwig was much more enthusiastic than I was. She pulled Blake’s big hand and dragged him to the sofa. Then she sat directly in his arms. “Daddy, do you want sfruit?”
Blake pinched her face and said, “Maybe later.”
I put a glass of water in front of Blake and said lightly, “You can play with them. I’ll help Mabel cook”
“Go ahead!” said Blake in a low voice.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmI insisted on staying in the kitchen. Though Mabel chasedaway several times, I just didn’t want to go out.
Anyway, I didn’t want to see that man. To be more precise, I didn’t like the feeling of being in the same room with
him
It madefeel very uncomfortable. When we were together, everything becdeadly quiet. It was so weird.
“Mabel, letmake the salad.” I was quite confident in cooking.
Mabel nodded and said, “OK. Remember to cook the potatoes through.”
I finished making the potato salad and brought it to the table. As soon as I cout, I saw Blake and the children quietly sitting on the sofa watching TV. I was slightly lost in thought.
Blake suddenly turned his head. His dark eyes happened to meet my gaze.
When I cback to my senses, I found that Blake was staring atstrangely. I somehow blushed, and I hurriedly hid back in the kitchen.
With Mabel at the helm, the dinner was finally ready. Mabel made a steak for Blake and roasted chicken with apples for the kids. There was also seafood chowder and soup. I made macaroni and cheese. And for dessert, Mabel prepared her famous blackberry cake.
Hedwig and Noah were very happy to see the sumptuous dinner.
“King Blake, would you like swine? I have a bottle of vintage wine here,” Mabel said with a smile.
“He doesn’t drink, Mabel. There’s no need.” I knew how precious the wine was, and I didn’t want Mabel to waste it on Blake.
“Mabel, Catherine is right. I don’t drink!” Blake replied with a meaningful tone.
