Chapter 74
Catherine’s POV
It was ten o’clock in the evening.
I helped Hedwig and Noah take a bath and read bedtstories to Hedwig.
“Daddy hasn’t cback yet. It’s so late!” Hedwig had taken a nap, and though she was feeling sleepy now, she did not want to fall asleep when she realized that Blake was not back yet.
1 stroked her head and comforted her gently, “Hedwig, daddy might be caught up with something important, so he will be back late. Go to sleep. You can play with your daddy in your dream, OK?”
“Mommy, is daddy in danger?” Hedwig was so worried. She blinked.
I chuckled. “Your daddy is the Lycan King. Nothing will happen to him. Don’t worry. Just go to sleep.”
“I can’t. I miss him!” Hedwig pouted and said pitifully.
– “Then Mommy will sing you to sleep, OK?” I thought of a way.
“Well, Mommy, you can give it a try. I don’t know if I can sleep.” Hedwig gave in and decided to hear me sing.
I began to hum a few lullabies.
As I hummed, Hedwig yawned. She looked like she would fall asleep at any moment.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtI tried my best to lower my voice. I gently stroked Hedwig’s head while humming.
Seeing that Hedwig was finally asleep, I let out a sigh of relief and tucked her in before pushing the door open and leaving
I pushed open the door of the next room. Noah was lying under the quilt and trying out his new toy. Because there were slittle lights on his new toy, he simply buried himself in the quilt to play with it.
Just as he was playing, suddenly, I patted his butt, which startled him. He quickly poked his head out from under the quilt.
“It’s so late. Why are you still playing with your toy instead of sleeping?” I was pissed off. He had spent the whole day playing around. It was now bedtime, and he still hadn’t had enough!
“Mommy, I still have sthings that I haven’t figured out. I’m studying…”
“Study it tomorrow. Hurry up and go to sleep. Otherwise, someone will get spanked,” I threatened.
“Fine! I’ll go to sleep! Mommy, you interrupted my new research. You’re so bad.” Noah was unhappy, but he still put his toy away and lay down on the bed to sleep.
“Bad mommy is telling you to sleep!” I tried to be serious, but I was amused by Noah’s expression.
“Mommy, isn’t daddy going to sleep withtonight?” he asked curiously.
“I don’t know. Your daddy might have gone back to his villa on the hill.”
“Well, I don’t know why, but I can’t sleep without daddy around,” Noah said seriously.
This time, I couldn’t help but chuckle. ‘You’re just a kid. How can you not be able to sleep? I bet you’ll sleep like a piggy in a moment. And I can’t wake you up whatsoever.”
“That’s not truel Forget it. Maybe I will fall asleep. I’m so sleepy!” After a few words of rebuttal, Noah felt that his
eyelids were so heavy. After a short while, he fell asleep, and he even snored.
I was so relieved to get both of them to sleep. After sitting on the balcony drawing for an hour, I decided to go downstairs and get a glass of water.
It was almost midnight. I was very tired after attending to the kids for a day.
There were only a few dim lights on in the parlor. When I walked down, I suddenly saw a person lying on the sofa.
I was startled. I quickly walked over and saw that the person lying on the sofa was actually Blake.
When did he cback?
And why was he sleeping on the sofa? Why didn’t he go upstairs to sleep?
I frowned and curiously walked to the sofa. Then I smelled alcohol.
I was slightly surprised. Was Blake drunk?
I stretched out my leg and kicked his calf. I shouted, “Hey, wake up. Don’t sleep on the sofa. It’s getting cold now. You’ll get sick”
He only let out a few uncomfortable grunts.
Since he wasn’t responsive, I simply squatted in front of him.
I reached out and patted his face. “Blake, wake up. If you want to sleep, go to your room. Don’t sleep here.”
“More alcohol…” Blake seemed to hear someone talking. He spoke in a hoarse voice.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmI glared at him in disgust. “You’re so drunk, and you still want to drink?”
“Getsalcohol…” Suddenly, he grabbed my hand before I could retract it. He pulled my hand hard, and I was caught off guard. I leaned on his shoulder, and I froze.
“What the hell, Blake? Let go of me.” I was being kind enough to wake him up, yet he grabbed my hand.
“Women are so cruel…” the drunk and confused man mocked.
My concerns about him vanished in an instant. I tried hard to pull my hand back, but he held it tightly.
“Let go, you jerk! Let go of me!” I was so angry that I opened my mouth and bit the back of his hand.
Blake was in pain and loosened his grip at once. I immediately took a few steps back and glared at him with
resentment.
“Since it was swoman outside who hurt you, I can’t answer your question. You can sleep on the sofa for as long as you like. Who cares?” I said angrily and turned to go upstairs.
I even forgot why I went downstairs.
After I returned to my room, I lay down next to Hedwig. Looking at her sleeping face, I inexplicably felt a little upset.
Such a feeling confused me.
I made up my mind. If Blake did find his mate, I would leave here together with the kids. I wouldn’t let them be bullied by their stepmother.
uno dark inside. Not all stepmothers would treat their husbands’ kids badly. But I was afraid. I was Hedwig
