Chapter 271
Catherine's POV
I went downstairs and walked to Dowen's car.
I knocked on the car window, and Dowen opened the trunk. I pushed the suitcase in and sat in the back seat.
"Dowen, let's go now. Thanks!" I said politely.
The man in the driver's seat did not speak. The car made a U-turn and drove off.
The car was getting farther and farther from the villa, and I could not help looking over my shoulder, my eyes welling with tears.
I said goodbye to the kids. Why did I still feel sad?
I knew. It was because I didn't say goodbye to Blake.
Eva let out a sad sob.
"It's still early. What's the rush? After the car drove out of the lakeside villa, I heard Blake's voice from the driver's seat.
I was stunned when I heard his voice.
Soon after, he pulled over.
"Move to the front." Blake gently reminded me.
I came back to my senses. It wasn't Dowen. It was Blake.
Why was Blake here?
I t
could have kept it between us."
"I don't want you to carry such a burden," Blake said worriedly.
I could not help crying and laughing at myself, "It's too late. The truth will be revealed."
"You're right. Don't regret it. We will face it together." Blake comforted me. "Go and see your father. You should get to know him
for now."
"Do you still hate him?" I asked in a low voice.
I clutched his hand.
"I'll hate him all my life, even when he's dead!" Blake replied.
I trembled. His answer made me feel unsettled.
When we arrived at the airport, Blake took my suitcase out and whispered, "I'll walk you in."
"It's OK. There are so many people inside, and you are too handsome!" I shook my head.
"I'll be worried if you go in alone."
"I'm not a kid. I was alone before I met you, right?" I took my suitcase and walked forward. "Go back. Drive carefully!"
Blake kissed me goodbye.
