My Mate Has Two Wolves

Chapter 282

Catherine's POV

After hanging up the phone, I was still a little unsettled. I wasn't being cruel. It was just that the truth was too harsh.

I didn't want Emerson and Patricia to find out about this. If they did, they wouldn't allowto stay at the lakeside villa.

I had to stick to my bottom line, for Noah and Hedwig and my uncertain future.

Night fell.

After work, I returned ha bit worn out. I saw Noah and Hedwig doing their homework as I walked in the door.

They were doing shandwork. Noah had already finished his homework and was helping Hedwig.

"Mommy, you are back! Are you tired today?" Hedwig said with a smile.

I stroked her head. "I'm not tired. Not after I see you guys."

"Mommy, we want to have dinner with you tonight!" Noah said with a smile.

I was touched.

Noah and Hedwig were very considerate. Even if I didn't ask for it, they were both on my side.

"Why don't you go and have dinner with daddy and the others tonight? We'll have dinner together tomorrow. I think it'll be better for everyone." I was moved, but I knew that Emerson and Patricia were also used to having Noah and Hedwig around. I was sure that they also wanted to eat with the kids.

"But if we don't stay, you will eat alone. Eating alone is very boring," Hedwig said.

"I am not bored!" I smiled and said, "I've been busy all day, so I'm starving now. I'll eat a lot, even if I eat alone."

Noah and Hedwig looked atwith their eyes widened.

I continued, "Go and ask Dowen to take you there. After dinner, cback to sleep!"

Suddenly, a tall figure appeared outside the door.

"Yeah! Daddy is here," Hedwig shouted.

Why was Blake here? I stood up and looked at him.

I didn't think it was Patricia who sent him here.

Though I was a little worried, I was delighted.

However, in front of Noah and Hedwig, I must suppress my feelings. I tried to keep calm.

"Daddy, why are you here?" Noah immediately ran over. He raised his head and reached out for Blake's hand.

"I'm here to pick you up for dinner." Blake's voice was low.

Yet I saw that he was looking atwith affection. I felt my body burning, and I had the urge to throw myself into his arms.

I restrained my feelings and said to Noah and Hedwig, "Since your daddy is here, go with him for dinner. We will play games after you cback."

Noah and Hedwig looked sad and disappointed.

Blake said to Noah and Hedwig, "Wait downstairs. Mommy and I will go upstairs for a chat."

I looked up at him in surprise.

He walked towardand nodded.

I asked him in a low voice, "What are you going to do?"

"Cupstairs withand you will know." Blake walked upstairs.

"Daddy, don't bully mommy!" Noah suddenly shouted.

I laughed. Noah was so protective of me.

When I reached the second floor, Blake grabbed my wrist and draggedinto the guest room where he used to sleep.

He closed the door.

Blake heldtightly in his arms and kissed my exposed skin.

"'Blake, stop." Although I was very addicted to his embrace and warm kisses, we were in the lakeside villa, and Patricia might show up at any second. By then, everything would be my fault.

I didn't want to be kicked out by Patricia just because I wanted to get intimate with Blake. I had to act rationally for the sake of Noah and Hedwig.

Blake stopped. He heldtightly as if by doing so, we would never be apart again.

After a while, Blake releasedand whispered, "I don't know what happened to Patricia today. She askedto cand bring you up for dinner."

"What?" I couldn't believe it. Patricia wantedto go up for dinner?!

"Did she think of another way to punish me?" I was scared.

Blake shook his head. "I don't know. When I chome, Patricia askedto pick you up. Maybe it was because Noah and Hedwig refused to go up without you."

"If only you were right." I thought he might be too optimistic.

Blake heldgently. He whispered, "At least it's a good start. Patricia is stubborn. We have a long way to go to get her to say yes. I can wait. Can you?"

I looked at him. "I'm just afraid that you can't."

"Have sfaith in me, will you?" Blake nibbled my neck.

I felt a twinge, and I couldn't help but tremble.

I whispered, "I do have faith in you. I just don't believe in fate."

It was the first tI had tasted love, and I had no sooner tasted its sweetness than it was replaced by bitterness.

Blake kissed my hand. His voice was hoarse. "'Cathy, be patient. No one can separate us as long as we don't give up on each other."

Blake looked determined, and I smiled, "You are right. As long as we don't give up, there's still hope."

"Let's have another kid? Then, Patricia can separate us no more." Blake looked at me.

I felt my body heat up in an instant. However, it wasn't the right time. I refused, "No. Kids shouldn't be used as bargaining chips. They are supposed to be loved, and we shouldn't be irresponsible parents."

"You're right. Let's go before Noah and Hedwig get worried." Blake gave up on this idea.

I nodded and followed him downstairs.

Blake drove and took us to the villa on the top of the mountain.

"Mommy, has Patricia agreed to let you be with daddy?" Noah and Hedwig asked happily.

"I don't know!" I felt uneasy. I was worried that things would be worse than I thought.

We arrived at the villa at the top of the mountain, then I remembered the quarrel I had with Blake before. Although I was so sad at the time, now that I thought about it, it was just a fun memory.

When we walked into the living room, I saw Patricia sitting on the sofa.

I slowed down.

"Patricia!" Noah and Hedwig ran over and held Patricia's arms.

When Patricia saw Noah and Hedwig, she could not help but grin. She could not resist their cuteness. "I thought you kids wouldn't canymore. I was so hurt!"

"How could that be? You love us so much and we love you too!" Noah coaxed Patricia.
