Chapter 269
Third person's POV
Soon, Catherine returned to the lakeside villa.
She knew Blake was in the study, yet she did not go over to see him.
Catherine walked into the bedroom and began to sort her things out.
The pain in her heart was killing her as she packed her suitcases. She wanted to see Blake.
Catherine suddenly did not want to pack up. She did not want to leave...
The bedroom door was pushed open, and Noah and Hedwig stood at the door.
"Mommy, are you really moving out?" Hedwig cried. She ran over and snatched the clothes in Catherine's hands. "Don't go. Stay
here. Daddy won't let you go."
Noah turned and ran out. He could not bear to separate from his mother.
Catherine crouched and hugged Hedwig. She said gently, "Hedwig, I'm not going far away. I'll still live in this city. If you miss me,
you can ask Dowen to take you to see me."
"No! I want mommy and daddy to be together. I don't want you to be separated!" Hedwig sobbed.
Noah smashed open the study door and stood in front of Blake.
"Mommy is packing up. Daddy, aren't you going to stop her?" Noah asked as he stared at Blake.
Blake was in great pain and it was tearing him apart.
"If you don't stop her now, it will be too late. Daddy, you still love her, right?" Noah said loudly.
Blake said painfully, "It's her decision."
Noah roared at Blake, "Daddy, I'm so disappointed!"
Noah was right, and Blake was disappointed in himself too.
"If mommy moves out tonight, we will go with her. Goodbye, Daddy!" Noah said and ran away.
What?
Blake followed Noah out of the room.
Noah turned around and looked at Blake. "Are you afraid of losing mommy, or are you afraid of losing me and stupid Hedwig?"
"Both!" Blake failed to lie to himself.
Seeing that Noah was looking at him with a look of disbelief, Blake laughed at himself. He said, "Noah, I can't stop this."
"Daddy, I have always looked up to you and you are my role model. But not anymore. I don't want to be like you. You are the
Lycan King, but you can't even protect your mate!" Noah shook his head.
Blake could tell how disappointed Noah was. He failed him.
Blake lowered his head in pain.
Noah no longer talked to Blake. He turned around and walked towards Catherine's bedroom.
He decided to stay with Catherine this time.
In the bedroom, Catherine coaxed Hedwig. She sat on the sofa with two suitcases beside her.
"Mommy..." Noah pushed the door open. He asked, "Are you done packing? Have you packed for us too?"
Catherine looked at Noah in surprise. Noah said firmly to her, "Mommy, I must come with you, and so will Hedwig!"
Hedwig nodded. There were still tears in her eyes, but she looked determined.
Catherine was moved.
She was glad that Noah and Hedwig decided to go with her.
"Noah, Hedwig, are you sure you don't want to stay here? Mommy's new place is small. Can you stand it?" Catherine tried to
persuade them. Blake needed them more than she did.
"Of course, Mommy! We lived in a small apartment before, right?" Noah immediately said.
Hedwig nodded and said, "That's right. Mommy, we won't have complaints."
Catherine nodded. "OK then. Go and say goodbye to daddy before we leave."
"I don't want to..." Noah did not want to see Blake now.
Hedwig shook her head and said, "Me neither. If daddy misses me, he will come to see me!"
Catherine stroked their heads. "Alright. But I don't want you to hate him. It wasn't his fault that we broke up. OK?"
"Since Daddy did nothing wrong, why did you two break up?" Noah was confused.
Catherine looked at Noah and shook her head. "We broke up because we couldn't love each other. It wasn't because we hated
each other. Just bear in mind that you shouldn't hate him."
"I don't hate him. I promised daddy that if I miss him, I'll ask him to come and see me!" Hedwig said proudly.
Catherine looked at Hedwig and said, "Hedwig, you can't do this. The reason why I move out is that your daddy and I need to
see less of each other from now on."
Hedwig started to cry again.
Blake sat in the chair in the study. He wanted to smash everything.
Did Catherine have to move out today? Couldn't she stay a few more days?
Blake laughed at himself. He was the one who broke up with her, and he was also the one who didn't want Catherine to leave.
If Catherine left, Noah and Hedwig would leave with her.
Without Noah and Hedwig's laughter, the lakeside villa could hardly be called his home.
Catherine packed for Noah and Hedwig.
She wanted to take the ring that Blake had given her, but in the end, she didn't.
It would remind her of Blake.
Noah and Hedwig followed Catherine with their small suitcases.
Patricia happened to get out of the car. She came to have dinner with Noah and Hedwig.
To her surprise, the kids were leaving with Catherine with suitcases in their hands.
"Patricia, see you!" Noah waved his hand at Patricia.
"Noah, Hedwig, where are you going?" Patricia was surprised.
Patricia had always thought that Noah and Hedwig would stay.
Hedwig sighed, "Patricia, I asked you to persuade my mommy to stay, but you didn't. Now I will leave with my mommy. I'll miss
you!"
Patricia pulled a long face in an instant, and she looked at Catherine.
Catherine explained, "Sorry, Patricia. I brought them up, so they will follow me wherever I go."
"Catherine, what do you mean? Noah and Hedwig belong to the royal pack. You can't take them away!" Patricia reminded
Catherine.
Catherine knew how important Noah and Hedwig were to Patricia, but they were Catherine's babies. They meant everything to
her.
Noah and Hedwig looked at Patricia in surprise.
"Patricia, you didn't want her to live here. But my mommy didn't do anything wrong!" Noah said.
Catherine pulled Noah and said, "Noah, you can't talk to Patricia like that."
Patricia was a bit sad to see that Noah and Hedwig were so protective of Catherine.
"Noah, you and Hedwig must stay. I promise. Dowen can take you to see her anytime you want. OK? I will take good care of
you," Patricia said gently.
"I'm so sorry, Patricia. I won't leave my mommy, and neither is Hedwig," Noah said seriously.
Patricia looked at Catherine and said, "Talk to the kids. They will listen to you!"
Patricia thought Catherine did it on purpose.
"Patricia, if you want us to stay, there is only one way. Don't let mommy leave," Noah tried to negotiate.
Patricia said, "No. Your mommy can't stay here."
