Chapter 53
Catherine's POV
"No." I lowered my head and kept staring at the drawing paper. "Sorry, I can't do it. I can't force myself to talk to you properly."
"Do you hate me that much?" Blake's voice was full of anger.
I fell silent.
The bedroom was originally quiet, and I could even hear the sound of breathing clearly. After I fell silent, it became deathly silent.
"Well, I will take care of our children in my own way in the future. I will never say these meaningless words to you again," Blake said coldly and then turned to leave.
"Close the door, please. I need a quiet environment. Thanks." I heard Blake's words, but I was calm.
Then I heard Blake slam the door heavily.
He had always wanted more. He forcefully stopped me and my two children from leaving. Then we stayed by his side as he wished, and he could finally enjoy the happiness of being with his children. But now, he asked me to be nice to him and get along well with him. Was there such a good thing in this world?
Even if there were, he couldn't enjoy all of them.
In short, I am quite angry with Blake now. Whatever he said, I did not want to be obedient or even listen to him.
I had no way to accept his sudden appearance, though he did bring a lot of joy to Noah and Hedwig.
However, to me, his appearance did not give me any pleasant surprise. Instead, it reminded me of the old scar on my mind.
I drew in the room alone for a while, but I was unable to completely calm down. I sighed and looked up at the clock.
It was time for Noah and Hedwig to sleep. I went downstairs to the living room, but I did not see them there, so I went back to the second floor. When I passed the balcony, I heard someone talking and walked over.
"Daddy, did Catherine bully you?" I heard Hedwig's voice just as I approached the balcony.
"How is that possible? No one in this world can bully me. Don't worry." Blake's voice sounded.
"But I saw on TV that adults smoke because they are in a bad mood. Are you in a bad mood? Tell me, I will help you. And Noah is the best at saying something nice."
I was a little moved. Hedwig was so sensible and considerate.
"You two are thinking too much. I am in a good mood. With you two, I will always be in a good mood in the future," Blake said. "Tomorrow, after class, let's go shopping together, okay?"
Noah asked lightly, "Daddy, did you ask mommy just now? Will she go with us?"
Blake's voice was a little cold. "She doesn't have time for that. I'll go with you. Tell me everything you like, and I'll buy them for you."
"Yay! Perfect! I love you so much, daddy!" Hedwig was so happy that she was about to fly in the sky.
"Hedwig, go to sleep with your mommy. I will put Noah to bed." It was getting late. Blake checked the time and urged Noah and Hedwig to rest.
Then I saw Blake holding Hedwig walking out from the balcony.
"Mommy, I'm going to sleep. I can barely keep my eyes open." Hedwig jumped down from her father's arms and ran to me like a sleepy puppy.
I quickly picked up Hedwig.
Blake seemed to have nothing to talk about with me. Seeing that he was about to leave, I suddenly said, "I have to mention one thing. Didn't you say before that my kids and I would live in this villa, and you would live in the villa on the hill? But now you have lived with us for several days. How long do you plan to stay?"
"I will stay with Noah and Hedwig." Blake answered impatiently.
"You go back on your word." I sneered.
"Yes, that's right. Didn't you always call me a jerk? That is what a jerk does," Blake said shamelessly.
"You're indeed a jerk." I was very angry. I had agreed to come back here because he promised that he wouldn't live with me. But now, he appeared in front of me all day.
"Don't go too far. Don't you know whose territory you are in?" Blake became angry with shame.
Noah coughed deliberately and said, "Daddy, are you going to put me to bed or not? If you don't, I can't fall asleep."
After Blake heard Noah's words, his eyes immediately lit up.
"Did you hear that? Noah has gotten used to sharing a bed with me. I'm afraid he can't change his habit for the time being," Blake said proudly.
I was stunned. I didn't expect Noah to be so sharp and even change his sides.
"You heartless little thing. I've doted on you for nothing!" I sighed bitterly.
I lowered my head and saw Hedwig leaning against my shoulder. Her big eyes were half- closed, and she was about to fall asleep.
"Mommy, don't quarrel with daddy. He is nice to me." Although Hedwig was half-awake, she still told me her wish before she fell asleep.
I sighed again helplessly. Blake only knew how to spoil children.
Noah and Hedwig slowly accepted Blake, and I felt at a loss as if my heart missed a piece and was empty.
I couldn't describe what it felt like.
Not long after, perhaps I would have to accept the fact that Noah and Hedwig didn't belong to me only.
I lowered my head and stared at Hedwig's delicate and cute little face. In fact, her facial features were somewhat similar to Blake's. But her eyes and mouth were like mine more. Even if she didn't smile, her lips would slightly raise like she's smiling and were very beautiful.
"Good night, my sweetheart!" I murmured.
After Hedwig fell asleep, I went back to my room to continue my designs, but I always felt that my inspiration was missing.
So I went to the kitchen and rummaged around the refrigerator. I didn't find any wine but a few cans of beer.
I opened a can of beer and took a sip. It was cold, and I enjoyed drinking it. I took the beer and was ready to go back to my room to continue drawing.
Unexpectedly, I bumped into someone just after taking two steps.
"Damn it... What are you doing?"
Blake's voice sounded.
"Why are you here?" I asked curiously, my voice remaining indifferent.
Blake sneered, "This is kitchen. I came to get something to eat. Do I need your permission?"
I had nothing to say and planned to bypass him and leave.
"It's so late, and you still drink beer?" Blake was shocked and then asked sternly.
"Can't I?" I pursed my lips. "When I work at night, I like to drink some alcohol to get inspiration."This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.
"Are you good at drinking?" Blake asked coldly.
"Just so-so," I answered.
I raised my head, took another sip of beer, and slowly swallowed it. The pitch-black living room fell into a deathly silence.
"Catherine, drinking so much beer at night is not good for your health. Don't you know that? "After a few seconds, Blake asked.
"It's none of your business." I was a little annoyed.
Blake was completely unhappy. He frowned and said, "It has nothing to do with me indeed. I am persuading you on behalf of Noah and Hedwig. If they know that you are an alcoholic..." "It's not as serious as you say. I'm just having some beer and looking for inspiration. I'm not an alcoholic!" I was almost amused by Blake's words.
I raised my head and took another sip before turning around to go upstairs.
