Chapter 270
Third person's POV
Patricia crouched and said, "Noah, Hedwig, I don't know if you can understand what I'm saying here. Your mommy and daddy are now siblings. Do you get it?"
Catherine was angry and said to Patricia, "Patricia, how can you tell them that? This is too much for them."
Patricia looked at Catherine and said, "If I didn't tell them, they would think that we bullied you."
Noah looked at Catherine in confusion and asked, "Mommy, how can you and Daddy be siblings?"
Catherine didn't know how to answer Noah's question.
Patricia said to Noah, "Because your mommy's father married your daddy's mother."
Noah and Hedwig looked at Catherine.
"Mommy, that's messed up!" Noah said to Catherine.
Hedwig looked up and asked Catherine, "Mommy, I can't understand!"
Patricia said sarcastically, "Catherine, you should explain it to them."
Catherine crouched and said gently to Noah and Hedwig, "It will take tfor you to understand it. Why don't you stay here tonight? Mommy will pick you up after getting your rooms ready, OK?"
"Mommy, we want to go with you!" Noah took Catherine's hand.
Patricia suddenly said, "Maybe you should stay. I'll have Blake move to the mountain-top villa!"
Catherine looked at Patricia and said, "Really?"
Patricia snorted and said, "I'm only doing this for Noah and Hedwig. I hope you know that."
Catherine knew that Patricia let her stay to take care of the kids, but she was happy enough.

Catherine stopped, and she also looked at him.
Then Blake walked down and picked up Catherine's suitcases.
At the stime, in the parlor downstairs, Patricia took over Noah and Hedwig's suitcases.
"Noah, Hedwig, I know you can't leave Catherine. I understand it. You are kids, after all. However, that's how messed-up things are. Don't be mad at me, OK?"
Noah and Hedwig nodded.
They just wanted Catherine to stay.
Upstairs, Catherine walked behind Blake.
Blake opened the door of her room and placed her suitcases beside the sofa.
He turned around, and they looked at each other.
In the next second, they were holding each other and kissing eagerly.
Catherine raised her head passionately.
Blake held Catherine tightly, wanting her to be part of him.
"Catherine, how dare you to move out..." Blake said angrily to Catherine after the kiss.
"You didn't stopanyway." Catherine was also angry.
"Would that change anything? Haven't you already picked out the furniture together with Harley?" Blake said sarcastically.
Catherine was surprised. How did Blake know that she bought furniture with Harley? She said unhappily, "You sent someone to stalk me? Blake, how can you do that?"
Blake said in a low voice, "I was just worried about you."
Catherine smiled sarcastically, "I thought we weren't going to get married."
Blake was silent.
"Forget it. I'm happy enough that I get to see the kids every day," Catherine said self-deprecatingly.
Blake looked at her and said, "When are you going to see Halsey?"
"I booked a flight tomorrow." Catherine began to sort out her clothes.
"Is there anything I can do to help?" Blake looked at Catherine's back.
Catherine shook her head. "I don't need any help. This is my business. I'll deal with it."
Suddenly, the door was opened, and Patricia stood there.
"Blake, I'll ask Dowen to help you pack up. You will move to the mountain-top villa tonight," Patricia said sternly.
Blake knew it was part of the deal, so he didn't argue. He nodded and said, "OK, I will."
Patricia said angrily, "Be clear. Just because I let her stay doesn't mean I approve of your relationship."
Catherine said to Blake, "You should go now. We should avoid seeing each other from now on."
Blake turned around helplessly and left Catherine's bedroom under Patricia's strict gaze.
Patricia said to Catherine, "I will never accept you, no matter how much you love Blake."
Catherine didn't expect Patricia to be so heartless.
Catherine said in anger, "Don't worry about that. I just want to be with my kids. That's it."
Patricia left, Noah and Hedwig ran upstairs, and they took Catherine's hands. "Mommy, don't worry. You and daddy will stay together as long as we're here."
"He's right! You don't have to get married. You got along well in the past, right?" Hedwig looked up.

Blake moved out.
The next day, under Patricia's watch, Dowen moved all of Blake's things to the other villa.
Catherine chfrom work at noon, because she had to catch the plane in the evening.
Before that, she asked Melinda to take a week off.
Catherine returned home. As she walked past Blake's door, she couldn't help but push it open and walk in.
Everything that belonged to Blake was gone.
Catherine walked to the bedside and sat down. She wanted to cry.
In the evening, Catherine saw Noah and Hedwig get out of Dowen's car, and felt better.
"Mommy, daddy said that you're going to take a flight tonight. Is that true?" Hedwig ran over to ask Catherine.
"Yes. I have something important to do. I will be back as soon as possible," said Catherine gently.
Hedwig nodded and said, "Alright then. Mommy, cback early before I miss you too much!"
"I promise. I'll bring back gifts for you and Noah!" Catherine kissed Hedwig.
Catherine felt worried about meeting Blake's mother.
So far, only Blake and his family knew Halsey was Catherine's father.
Blake's mother had no idea about it.
Noah said with concern, "Mommy if you are in any trouble, ask daddy for help. I'm sure he will help you."
Catherine smiled and said, "I can manage. Don't worry."
Tpassed quickly. After sending the kids to the mountain-top villa, Catherine headed to the airport.
