Chapter 51
Catherine’s POV
I planned to finish the designs at the company because Lorelei stated that I had to complete the work within two weeks.
I would have to give her ten designs that she would approve of. Currently, she was only satisfied with three. Therefore, it was challenging to finish the task within two weeks when facing such a picky customer.
Blake said that he had schedule tonight, so I had to take the designs home for completion.
When I drove back and stepped into the parlor, I saw a ridiculous scene.
In the luxurious parlor were two more adorable creatures.
“Mommy, you’re back Come here and take a look. They are Chestnut and Peanut. Are they cute? I like them so much.” As soon as Hedwig saw me come back, she ran over happily. She grabbed my finger and pulled me to see her new pets.
“You…” I had yet to recover from this ridiculous scene when I saw Dowen walking over from the dining hall to me.
When Dowen saw me, he had a complicated look on his face.
“Dowen, how can you let them bring the ponies into the parlor?” I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. My kids were so naughty.
Dowen said with a smile, “Little Prince and Princess circled the ponies after school. It was dark, but they refused to go home. There were too many mosquitoes outside, so I called His Majesty for his opinion. He agreed to let the ponies accompany them in the parlor.”
My face was full of disbelief. Was Blake out of his mind? How could he agree to this?
“Mommy…” Hedwig still pulled me by the finger desperately. “Mommy, come here to greet Chestnut and Peanut. It’s interesting to have fun with them, and they are as meek as Noah and me.”
“Ms. Wyatt, you could enjoy some time with the kids. His Majesty just called and said that he wouldn’t come back for dinner. Dinner will be ready soon,” Dowen said as a dutiful butler.
“Thank you so much, Dowen.” I said politely.
Noah was sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed like an adult. He was holding a drawing board and seriously painting on it.
He was drawing the two blank-eyed ponies standing in the parlor.
It was obvious that the ponies were not used to such a strange environment. They looked pitiful, and they would
ccasionally neigh.
“Morniny, say bello to Chestnut.” Hedwig was so excited that her face turned red, she pointed at a pony and said.
I squatted down and touched the pony’s head. Then, I said seriously, “Hedwig, Noah, you’ve gone too far. The ponies are not used to bring here. They like to stay on the grass. So, I need you to put them back immediately.”
“Why? Mommy, I haven’t had enough fun with them. Daddy said I could bring them to the parlor.” As soon as Hedwig heard that I would sol allow her to play with the ponies here, she becaine anxious.
“Your daddy was crazy because he agreed to such an unreasonable of yours.” I would never allow Blake to spoil the kids lo such an extent. I put on a stern lace and sad sterily, “I am serious. Ask Dowen to get the ponies out now and play with them after school tomorrow, am I made myself clear?”
“Mommy, you are so fierce to me…” Hedwig felt wronged and her eyes turned red. She looked pitifully at her pony and then at Noah, who was stunned. “Noah is in the middle of painting. Mommy, can we let them stay here for a while longer?”
“No, you can’t.” I didn’t want them to have the habit of doing whatever they wanted, so I raised a strict request.
Noah put the drawing board aside with a sad face and said gloomily, “Fine, let’s listen to mommy. Mommy, don’t be
angry.”
Hedwig sat away, feeling wronged. She didn’t utter a word again.
I turned around to look for Dowen. Dowen instructed two servants to get the ponies out.
I walked over to look at Noah’s painting. It was abstract, and it’s not easy to read.
“Hedwig, are you angry?” I squatted in front of Hedwig, intending to reconcile with her.
“I miss daddy…” Hedwig pouted, and tears welled up in her eyes.
“I will get the ponies out even if your daddy is here.” I was shocked. Hedwig sided with Blake so soon. She just couldn’t stand any reprimand, and once I did that, she would use him to deter me.
When Hedwig learned that mentioning her father would not work, tears rolled down her cheeks. She was holding back her tears as she sobbed.
“Hedwig, what did I say to you? You have to keep good habits and getting rid of bad ones. How can you take the ponies into the parlor? Do you know how much trouble you have caused the maids? Look at the mud all over the ground. Go clean it yourself.” I had to discipline Hedwig as a mother.
“Fine…” Hedwig became stubborn. She trotted with her short legs for a sponge.
As soon as Dowen walked in and heard the conversation between me and Hedwig, he comforted her, “Princess, don’t run. I’ll let a maid do that…”
“Dowen, you can’t spoil her. Let her do it herself,” I said cruelly.
Dowen was at a loss for what to do as he stood aside.
Hedwig ran around and then ran back to me while panting. “I can’t find the sponge…”
“Dowen, please bring her the vacuum cleaner,” I said gently.
Hedwig’s face sank She did not expect me to be so determined to teach her a lesson.
“Ms. Wyatt…”
“Dowen, it’s fine. She often helps with housework. This is good.” I thought I had to teach Hedwig a lesson, or she would be more and more willful.
“Fine, I will bring it to her.” in the face of my earnest request, Dowen had to turn around and bring a vacuum cleaner
over
Hedwig’s face tensed up.
“Hedwig, hurry up. You can’t cal dinner until you clean up the mess.” I sat down on the sofa and said domineeringly.
Hedwig looked at the cleaner and then at me. She gave in and began to clean the floor with her short arms.
Noah was sting on the sota. He neither moved nor pleaded for Hedwig. It was my first time seeing him so obedient.
“I’m here!” Hearing me call him, Noah immediately tensed up.
“Go help Hedwig. You are to blame as well.” To show fairness, I didn’t let Noah off.
Noah had no choice but to stretch his legs and get down from the sofa. He then slowly walked over.
“Hedwig, you fool, it’s all your fault. Why did you make mommy angry?” Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.
“Noah, my hands hurt so much. Can you do it for me, please?” Hedwig cleaned the floor for a while and felt that her hands were about to be broken. She immediately sent a distress signal to Noah.
“Humph.” Noah, as Hedwig’s elder brother, could not resist her plea at all. He had to take the cleaner from her and continue the job.
I crossed my arms in front of my chest, leaned against the sofa, and watched the kids do housework in the parlor. Only then did I calm down.
But it was just the beginning. Only God knew what would give me a headache in the future.
Blake’s educational philosophy sucked. He spoiled the kids too much.
