Chapter 183
Catherine's POV
"Why don't you just tellwhat it is?" said Leo.
Then I told him my request, "I want you to sing a song with Gina. Is that OK?"
"Gina? Why do you wantto sing with her? Don't tellyou want to fix us up. That's a lot of contempt for me. Don't you know me? How can I possibly have feelings for a woman like her?" Leo said disapprovingly.
"No, don't getwrong. That's not what I meant. Of course, Gina wasn't a good match for you. The thing is, I made a deal with her, and this was her request. Otherwise, I wouldn't have troubled you with this." I was very anxious. It was about the secret of my birth, and I needed Leo's help.
"If you tellwhat your deal is, maybe I'll think about it!!" Leo said with a bit of complacency.
"No. It's my secret." I didn't want him to know.
"I won't help you unless you tell me." Leo was also very stubborn.
I had to give in. "Really? Will you helpif I tell you?"
"Of course. I will never lie to you." Leo promised.
After a few seconds of hesitation, I said with a heavy voice, "She knows where my biological parents are, but she won't tell me. She says she'll tellif I can arrange for you to sing a song with her."
"Biological parents? Aren't you the daughter of your current parents?" Leo's tone revealed a trace of confusion.
I smiled bitterly, "Gina is the daughter of my adoptive father. She showedsomething that proved she knew who my parents were."
"Poor you." Leo cto a conclusion. "Well, since that, I might as well do you a favor."
"Thank you so much!" I was very grateful.

"Still, thanks a lot!" I thanked him again.
"Alright then. Remember to bring the kids over on my birthday!" Then Leo hung up the phone.
I felt a weight had been lifted off my shoulders. I couldn't help but sigh.
I went hin the evening and told Noah and Hedwig about Leo's birthday.
When they heard that Leo's birthday was coming, they were very happy, especially Hedwig, who was waiting for the cake.
"Daddy, you said before that Leo's birthday party was going to be held on a cruise ship. Was it true?" Noah suddenly asked Blake.
Blake was stunned. "Did I say that?"
"Daddy has a bad memory!" Noah said disapprovingly.
I thought nothing of it. Looking at them, I nodded and said to Blake, "Maybe you did say that. Children remember things that interest them."
"Then I have to ask Leo where he is going to hold his party." Blake immediately called Leo.
And Leo told Blake that he didn't want to have an extravagant birthday. He just wanted to have a meal with his family. It was going to be a low-profile birthday.
"Oh, no! No cruise party?" Noah said with a little disappointment.
Hedwig, on the other hand, said happily, "I just want lots and lots of cake! Mommy, can I have nothing but cake on that day?"
"No. You have to be filled before you have the cake," I lectured her.
Blake stroked Noah's head and promised, "When it is your birthday, I will throw a birthday party for you on a cruise ship, OK?"
"Really?" Hearing that, Noah was immediately thrilled.
Hedwig was also very happy. She immediately grabbed my hand and shook it. "Mommy, how long will it be before our birthday? Will it be soon?"
I nodded. "Yes. You'll be four years old in half a month."
Seeing how excited the kids were, Blake couldn't help but curve his lips into a smile.
I secretly glanced at Blake. Abigail said that he had been very lonely. I guessed he wasn't anymore now that he was surrounded by the kids.
After dinner, the two kids took a shower and went to bed obediently.
I worked on the balcony, and Blake sat in his study. We were separated by a long corridor.
It was quiet around.
I took a look at the tafter finishing my work, and it was close to eleven o'clock.
I sorted out the information, turned off my laptop, drank a little water, and decided to take a shower and sleep.
I walked into the corridor and saw that the study at the end was still lit up, so I walked toward the end of the corridor.
I knocked on the door. After a while, the door was opened from the inside, and Blake looked atwith a smile. "Have you finished your work?"
"Yes! And you?" I nodded and asked casually.
Blake shook his head. "Not yet. Not for half an hour."
"I see. Then I'll leave you to it."
"Too late."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe moment I turned around, my wrist was gently grabbed by his large palm.
I looked at the hand that was grabbed by him, and when I looked up again, Blake gently pulledinto his arms.
"Didn't Dr. Cooper say we should hug each other more?" said Blake.
I chuckled. "Yes. That's what she said. But I'm not used to hugging you all the time."
"You'll get used to it if we hug more often." Blake tightened his grip around my waist.
I could smell Blake's masculine scent, which was dry and mixed with a faint smell of tobacco. It was like a mountain forest after being exposed to the sun. It was not repulsive.
We hugged, and we gradually realized that it was far from enough.
Especially Blake. He kissed the hair around my ear, then my neck, and finally my lips.
My body trembled. I reached out and subconsciously wanted to take the initiative.
Blake was even more unbridled. He deepened the kiss.
I could feel Blake gradually losing control. I let out a few low cries and gasped. "Blake, let's try again next time."
Blake patted my face and said, "Go to sleep."
I turned around and ran away in shame.
I ran back to my room in one breath. When I pushed the door open, I eased myself.
I didn't want to wake Hedwig up. Therefore, I was very careful even when I was looking for clothes.
I entered the bathroom and closed the door. I propped my hands on the glass table and looked at myself in the mirror under the bright light.
Why couldn't I get into the state?
I knew I didn't hate being touched by Blake.
In the mirror, my face was not flushed. Instead, it was slightly pale. I suddenly hated myself for being like this.
I gently touched my lips with my finger. Thinking of his fiery thin lips just now, I calmed down a little.
