Chapter 206
Blake's POV
I walked over, squatted down, and looked at Noah. "Because your mommy doesn't want you to worry. Alright now. Go downstairs and play with Hedwig, and I'll talk to your mommy. Don't worry. I won't quarrel with her. We will chat peacefully."
Noah said, "I'll go play with my toys. I don't want to play with stupid Hedwig."
"Up to you." I stood up, opened the door of the study, and went to Catherine's room.
Pushing the door open, I saw Catherine standing at the edge of the bed.
Catherine looked atand asked, "What's up?"
"Did Patricia say anything to you?" I rushed back in a hurry, because I was afraid that Catherine would be scolded by Patricia. Patricia sounded very mad on the phone today.
Catherine's face paled when she heard me. "Do you care?"
"What did Patricia say to you? Tell me, OK? I'm very worried about the relationship between you two. I don't want things between you two to be too ugly. After all, both of you are so important to me." I took a step forward and grabbed her wrist, wanting to hold her in my arms.
But Catherine broke free from my grasp and walked to the side. "Too late. I've probably upset her already."
"What did you say?" I asked hurriedly.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCatherine sighed. "Anyway, I said a lot. Patricia seemed to be shocked by what I said. Then she got up and left. I... Maybe I should have kept my cool. But I just can't stand being slandered."
I looked at her aggrieved face and let out a sigh of relief. "Cathy, whatever Patricia said, don't take it personally, OK? She can be difficult sometimes. I have tried to persuade her to embrace snew things, but she is very stubborn. There is nothing I can do. I hope you can understand!"
Catherine walked up toand snuggled into my arms. She sighed and said, "I can understand, but I can't control my temper sometimes. I'm so sorry for making things difficult for you."
Seeing that, I put my arms around her shoulders and subconsciously kissed her head. "I know that you are a straightforward person. That's why I am worried. But, Cathy, there is nothing wrong with being frank. I like this about you. You always say what you have in mind. You don't bury your thoughts in your heart."
"You flatter me. I'm not that good. I hate my straightforward personality sometimes. I always feel like it will getinto trouble," Catherine mocked herself.
"It doesn't matter. I will deal with the aftermath for you. Anyway, I am happy to be troubled by you." I realized that I felt a sense of accomplishment when someone troubled me.
Of course, Catherine was the only one with such a privilege.
Catherine couldn't help but chuckle. Her voice was already tinged with sweetness and happiness.
"Well, I will try to control my temper in the future, for the sake of both you and me," Catherine assured me.
I was very grateful for her compromise, because I could not make Patricia do the same.
"Can you tellnow why you and Patricia quarreled?" I still wanted to know why.
Catherine exhaled. "She thought I was too wild, and I didn't deserve you. She also said that you were charming and attractive to girls. Then I becangry and said that if she didn't like me, I would move
out immediately."
"Can you stand being away from me?" I felt heartbroken.
Catherine stuck out her tongue with an embarrassed expression on her face. "I was angry back then. I didn't mean it. Don't take it seriously. Of course, I didn't want to leave. The kids couldn't stand being away from you either. Anyway, I was glad that Patricia didn't continue to quarrel with me. Otherwise, I might have said something and burnt my bridges."
From the moment I saw Catherine, I knew that she wouldn't let herself be wronged. Back then, I always wanted to use all sorts of methods to suppress and conquer her. In the end, I was willing to be subdued by her.
So, I understand the feelings she had when she and Patricia were at each other's throats and went head to head.
"Cathy, thank you for putting up with this for me," I said gratefully.
"Alright, let's go down to accompany the kids. I haven't seen them for a day. I'm sure they miss us as well!" Catherine gently stood up from my arms, and there was a trace of tenderness between her eyebrows.
I fixed my eyes on her face. It was rare to see her so gentle like this. She was so stunningly beautiful.
"OK!" I didn't want to say no, and I hardly thought I could. I just wanted to listen to her.
We walked down the stairs with our fingers clasped together. When we were halfway up the stairs, I felt that she forcefully pulled her hand away from my palm.
I was slightly stunned when I saw my grandparents walking in from the hall.
It seemed that Catherine still minded what Patricia said.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmI quickly walked over and greeted, "Patricia, Emerson, you're here!"
Patricia nodded and immediately walked towards Hedwig, who was playing games of make-believe aside.
"Hedwig, what are you doing?"
"I'm cooking for my friends. Patricia, do you want to eat something? I can cook for you too!" Hedwig said with a smile, treating the games seriously.
Patricia immediately cooperated with Hedwig and said, "Sure! What do you plan to make for me?"
Hedwig immediately tilted her head and thought for a moment. Then she replied, "I'll make you some soup!"
"Oh? Why soup?" Patricia was a little surprised.
"Because you have lost all your teeth, and you can't eat hard food!" Hedwig answered seriously.
Hedwig's words immediately made the onlookers chuckle.
Patricia stroked Hedwig's head and said, "Good girl."
Catherine stood at the side. She looked upset when she saw how warm and gentle Patricia was when the kids were around. Patricia treated the kids so differently.
I glanced sideways at Catherine's expression.
But I had to admit that when Catherine was frowning, she had a different kind of charm. She was somehow cute and mischievous.
Noah dragged his toy train and walked down the stairs step by step. "Is it tto eat?"
When Patricia turned around and saw Noah, she quickly waved to him. "Cover, Noah. Cto me."
