Chapter 20
Blake’s POV
Catherine was staring at Hedwig, who twined her chubby arms tightly around my neck and pressed her little face on my shoulder.
I felt warmth filling my heart. My mood became even better when I saw how upset Catherine was.
Vd
Catherine suddenly turned around and walked towards the door.
I looked at that stubborn woman and couldn’t help gloating.
Hedwig, who was leaning against my shoulder, suddenly raised her head and straightened her back when she heard Catherine going away.
Hedwig immediately cried. “Mommy, where are you going?”
“I… I’m going out for a walk!” Catherine didn’t look back, but I could tell she was trying to hold back some emotion.
“Are you leaving? Mommy, I’ll go with you.” Hedwig suddenly sounded meek. She seemed to be afraid that Catherine would leave without her.
Hedwig had said sweetly that she would stay and taste the Disco Fries I prepared. But now, she was very eager to be with Catherine.
I just got the chance to enjoy the sweet time with my daughter, but she suddenly began to wiggle
her body and wanted me to put her down.
Catherine had turned around when she heard Hedwig’s voice. She looked calmer now.
“I’m not leaving. I just … need to use the bathroom,” Catherine said to Hedwig. She didn’t come to pick Hedwig up but just forced a wry smile.
“Ms. Wyatt, the restroom is on the left side.” When Dowen heard Catherine’s words, he politely
pointed to where the restroom was
Catherine immediately turned around and walked outside.
Hedwig blinked her big bright eyes as she watched Catherine walking out of the door. Then she looked up at me
“Hedwig, your mommy went to the bathroom. Let Daddy be your playmate, okay? What game do you want to play?” I knew this was the perfect opportunity to gain my daughter’s favor.
“Daddy, can you walk Mommy to the restroom? She might get lost!” Hedwig raised her innocent little face and looked at me.
This innocent little thing! She was too young to understand the difference between men and
women.
When Dowen heard this, he couldn’t help but chuckle.
I had always been resolute in front of other wolves. This was the first time I had heard such a request. I felt a little embarrassed.
“My angel, you mommy won’t like it. She might hit me!” I don’t know whether to laugh or cry. With a lovely girl like Hedwig around me, my life will not be boring anymore.
“Mommy is a kind-hearted lady. I promise she won’t hit you. She left in a hurry, and it’s so big here. She might really get lost.” Hedwig didn’t understand what I meant. Her little face was pink with anxiety as she looked at me.
“Alright! I’ll show her the way myself. Would you just stay here and draw pictures with Dowen? ‘I
couldn’t bear to turn down my baby girl’s request.
This request was extremely absurd, but I still decided to go check on that woman.
oman.
Of course, I wouldn’t really take her to the restroom myself. That woman was not worth my care.
Moreover, I was the Lycan King. People might talk if I showed too much interest in her.
“Well, Daddy, hurry up.” Hedwig immediately cheered up again.
I stood up and strode out of the parlor. I glanced around.
I frowned when I failed to find Catherine. Where did she go? Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
Didn’t she want to go to the restroom? Did she fail to find it?
I then walked out of the door of the villa. And I saw a delicate figure in the distance.
Catherine was standing alone by the lake. She threw a pebble into the lake and stared at the ripples.
“What is she doing?” I couldn’t understand this woman’s weird behavior at all. She wanted so desperately to take her daughter back, but now, she was enjoying the scenery by the lake.
Was she attracted by my identity and status just like the other women?
“What are you doing?”
I walked to the woman, who was watching the scenery, and asked. She immediately froze as if she was startled.
I didn’t know why she didn’t turn around. Just as I was about to ask again, she suddenly kicked off her shoes and plunged into the lake after a run-up.
“Are you crazy?” I was shocked. I hurriedly rushed forward and pulled her back.
Due to my pull, she lost her balance all of a sudden and fell into my embrace.
Leroy, my wolf that had been sleeping, suddenly showed signs of waking up. I could feel his restlessness, so I hurriedly comforted him in my mind.
It was not the time for Leroy to come out.
When Leroy calmed down, I looked down at Catherine and said, “What are you doing? Don’t tell me that you want to die just because I want to recognize Hedwig and Noah as my children.”
What she had done was suicidal.
Catherine choked on the water and began to cough violently. Then she shook off my hand and said in disgust, “Let go of me! Don’t touch me. Your hand is dirty!”
“I just saved you…” I reminded her angrily.
“I didn’t ask you to save me! My legs got numb just now. That’s why I staggered and fell. Hurry up and let go of me, you pervert.” Catherine struggled violently and angrily patted my arm.
I didn’t want to touch her, either. When I heard her scream, I instantly let go of her. Catherine lost her balance and fell into the water again.
Soaked, her clothes were now covered in dirt.
She looked as if she wanted to roar at me.
I snorted. I narrowed my eyes slightly and looked at her flushed face. “Sure. Your legs were numb. I shouldn’t have wasted my time on you!”
With that, I just turned to leave.
“Blake! You are a 100% robber! You want to steal my beloved children from me. I hate you! You are more annoying than those notorious rogues!” Catherine roared behind me.
Her words stopped my steps. Then, I slowly turned around, looked at Catherine, and said, “You stole two children from me in the first place. I am only taking them back now. I can’t let the royal blood drift around.”
“You bastard…” Catherine held her forehead and cried. “I never wanted to have your children. It was you…”
“I don’t know what exactly happened that day. My wolf took control of my body then, but you could have refused me. Or did you take that opportunity to seduce me?” As far as I knew, Catherine’s motives might not be entirely pure.
