Chapter 263
Catherine's POV
Though I tried my best not to look at him, I could still sense the powerful aura coming from him, the Lycan King.
"Daddy, do something. Talk to mommy. I don't want her to be with another man!" Hedwig was not as smart and mature as Noah.
She was just a four-year-old girl.
Blake still looked cold.
He crouched in front of Hedwig and looked into her large, watery, and concerned eyes.
"Daddy, what's wrong? Why don't you say something? Don't you want mommy anymore?" Hedwig was getting anxious.
Noah walked over from the sofa as well. He didn't sound as panicked and helpless as Hedwig. Instead, he was calm. "Daddy,
you and mommy are really breaking up this time, aren't you?"
Facing his children, Blake had no choice but to nod. "Yes. We both made a choice!"
"No!" Hedwig shouted. "I don't want you to break up. No! If you break up, I will... I will not eat anything. I will starve myself to
death!"
Though Hedwig was as careless and silly as ever, she was quick to respond at such a moment. She objected and threatened us
in the way she thought would be most effective.
Blake and I were both stunned. Even Noah, who was standing next to her, couldn't help but look at her.
Hedwig glared at Blake. "Daddy, you must keep mommy with us. I don't want you to be apart, OK?"
I knew Blake always gave in when facing Hedwig. I knew him. When he doted on someone, he would spoil her.
"Hedwig, come here. I have made up my mind. Your daddy can't change that," I said to Hedwig.
Hedwig was stunned, tears rolling down her face.
Noah frowned. He suddenly reached out to pull Hedwig's hand.
Yet Hedwig shook it off. She turned around and ran back to her room on the second floor.
"Noah, go check on her!" I urged Noah.
Noah ran after her as I asked.
They ran away, leaving the atmosphere in the hall tenser.
Blake stood up. He sized up Harley coldly. Finally, he walked to the seat opposite me and sat down.
"Is this the solution you come up with? Asking this man to play a show with you?" Blake's tone was extremely cold.
I had already calmed down a little.
Since Blake questioned me, I reached out and gently held Harley's hand. He wasn't prepared for it at first. Then, he held my
trembling hand firmly.
"Do you think I am in the mood to act now? Blake, it's not like I can't live without you." I tried to sound cold.
"Sorry. We don't have to fight about these things. I know you felt unfair about it, but..."
"You're wrong. I didn't. Instead, I'm relieved. Your mother married my biological father. That makes me your stepsister. So, I can't
be your wife!" I interrupted him and said mockingly.
"Very good. You seem to know what role you should be playing!" Blake's voice was indifferent.
I said, "You did it. You made me realize how cruel reality is. Blake, if your grandmother had not told me the truth, would you have
fixed the problem? I am glad I did not marry you. Otherwise, I shall have to live with shame for the rest of my life!"
"What about the kids?" Blake didn't want to continue this topic.
I said confidently, "I believe Noah will talk Hedwig through."
Third person's POV
It was deadly silent in the hall.
Meanwhile, in the master bedroom on the second floor, Hedwig was already in a tantrum, tossing things. She threw the toys on
her bed on the ground and cried as she did so, saying, "I won't stop until mommy and daddy get back together!"
Noah walked in and almost got hit by a bunny. Fortunately, he dodged it just in time. Then he put his hands on his hips and
looked at Hedwig, who was throwing a tantrum on the bed.
"Noah, go away. I hate you. I don't want to see you!" Hedwig saw him standing at the door and shouted.
Noah leaned against the door and said in a leisurely tone, "Do you know how upset mommy will be if she sees you throwing a
tantrum like this?"
Hedwig's hands froze in the air. She stared at Noah with her watery, big eyes.
"Mommy doesn't want us anymore. I am so upset," Hedwig said angrily.
"Who said that mommy doesn't want us anymore? She just doesn't want daddy!" Noah replied calmly
"It's the same! Noah, you are usually so smart. How can you be so stupid at this time?" Hedwig felt that Noah was naive.
Noah frowned. "There must be a reason that she doesn't want daddy anymore."
"What reason could it be? She likes Harley. Why doesn't she like daddy? Daddy is much more handsome than Harley," Hedwig
said in a huff.
"Did you see that daddy was cold to mommy, too? I think it was his fault. Mommy was upset. Can't you tell? She pretended to
date another guy. She did it to piss daddy off!" Noah had already figured out the truth, which was why he was not as angry as
Hedwig.
"Noah, really? Why didn't I see that? Were they pretending? They are not really together, right?" After Hedwig heard Noah's
words, she stopped crying.
"Stupid Hedwig!" Noah scolded her again.
Hedwig pouted and said with a grievance, "What did daddy do that make mommy so angry with him?"
"It must be something very important. We must find out!" Noah had a serious look on his face.
"I will go and ask them. Then, we will know!" Then, she jumped off the bed.
"No!" Noah pulled her. "You can't go down there. They won't tell us. In their eyes, we are just kids!"
"Then what should we do? If they don't tell us, how will we know?" Hedwig looked worried again.
"Stupid Hedwig, we can always eavesdrop!" Noah tapped Hedwig's head with his finger. "Don't lose your temper again, all right?"
"Then what should I do? I can't control my temper when I'm sad!" Hedwig pouted.
