Chapter 315 Catherine's POV Bh I was bathing Noah and Hedwig. It was getting cold every day, and compared with Patricia bathing them, I preferred doing it myself. Therefore, I bathed the kids before letting them play.
Hedwig noticed Blake as soon as he entered the bedroom.
"Daddy is back!" Hedwig shouted happily.
I turned back to look at him. "You are back early." Blake smiled and said gently, "I want to see your face as quickly as I can." His answer madea little shy.
Blake squatted down beside me. He looked at Hedwig, who had just taken a shower, and then he pinched her | cheek.
"Daddy, are you going to take Mommy out again? I want to cwith you!" Hedwig looked at Blake expectantly.
Blake stroked her head and said gently, "Not today, Hedwig. We will go out alone today. I will take you and Noah out the day after tomorrow." "Fine!" Hedwig nodded reluctantly.
Noah was putting on a sweater next to me. He was self-learning for more advanced courses. Plus, Patricia suggested that Noah and Hedwig should start learning something they were interested in. So, they would have
less tto play from now on.
However, I was not a harsh mother. So, after learning Patricia's suggestion, I decided to wait till the weekend to talk to the kids about it seriously. I was all for their choices, no matter what they were interested in.

Blake cover and helpedclean up the bathroom. Both of us enjoyed taking care of Noah and Hedwig, "My dress is not here. It is at Lakeside Villa. We may have to go down to get it," I said to Blake. I looked in the closet, and there was nothing but my casual clothes inside.
"It's fine. You don't need to dress up | tonight. It won't be a fancy dinner. It'll just be a celebration party," he said | softly.
He reached out and huggedtightly from behind me, kissingflirtatiously.
I tilted my head to look at him. "Is that so? Alright then. I'll dress casually." "That's right. There's no need to care about what others think. Just wear whatever you think is comfortable." I was beautiful in Blake's eyes no matter what.
| I bit my lip. "I was afraid I would embarrass you if I didn't dress properly. I wouldn't give a damn if I were alone."
"Don't worry about that. I don't care about anything else as long as you are standing by my side," Blake said firmly.
His words madehappy. I turned back, wanting to look at him. He immediately kissed my lips. I could feel the warmth of his palms.
He was luring me. How was I supposed to pick clothes with him around like this? I reached out and pried his grips open. "Stop it. Wait fordownstairs.
I'll get down as soon as I get dressed." 10K. No rush. Take your time," Blake smiled complacently.
When he reached the door, he suddenly thought of something. He stopped and turned to say, "Leo and Sunny are here.
They are downstairs now." i
I looked at him in surprise. "Are they | here for dinner?" "Yes, and Leo has found his mate. It's Sunny," Blake told me.
"Really? That's great! They will be very happy together." I was truly happy for Leo and Sunny.
Blake suddenly said toin earnest, "I'm so glad that you're not upset after hearing this." I glared at him. "What do you mean by that? Why would I be upset?" Blake chuckled. He did not say anything more, but I knew that he was in a good mood.
Blake's POV Downstairs, Patricia was delighted when she saw that Leo showed up
again together with Sunny.
"Blake, let's talk outside." Leo looked troubled. He spoke at once when he sawcoming downstairs.
I nodded. We walked out of the parlor and stood in the garden outside.
"Blake, you haven't told Emerson and Patricia about Marc and Olivia, have you?" Apparently, this was the matter that was bothering him.
"No. I didn't dare to tell them yet." I had been giving it a lot of thought.
Emerson and Patricia were old. What if they got sick after learning about this? "Blake, I need to be honest with you about something," Leo said hesitantly.

immediately asked, "What is it? You can tellanything. If you're in trouble, we'll fix it together." Leo looked atand was moved. He sighed, "Thanks, Blake. But I'm afraid it's trickier than that. Blake, Sunny's surnis Garcia as well." I was shocked, and my expression began to becserious.
"Relax. She isn't Olivia's daughter. In fact, Olivia is her mother's sister," when Leo saw my expression, he quickly explained.
vet I still looked solemn. Then I said self-mockingly, "I guess the Moon Goddess just enjoys messing with us.
Both of our mates have such entanglements with our family." "Indeed. It's like a curse we can't
escape whatsoever," Leo sighed. "I wanted to break up with Sunny at first.
I figured that if I rejected her, distanced myself from her, and stopped seeing her, everything would be OK. Yet I couldn't tell her that when I saw her face. The thought of being separated from her madewant to wail with pain. Blake, I can't leave her." He looked so sad. I reached out and patted him on the shoulder. "Don't think too much. Think of this as a test for you. Olivia is hateful indeed, but Sunny did nothing wrong. Sunny is your mate. Don't hurt her." "Blake, won't you blme?" Leo lowered his head and askedsoftly.
1 chuckled. "Why should I blyou?
It's not your fault. I think we should go to Abigail sometto talk about it." Re p> Leo lowered his head in shame. He never agreed to patch things up with Abigail.
"Blake, do you think Abigail knew about this before?" I nodded. "I think she did. She has suffered more than we have." "Damned Olivia! Blake, don't let her | get away with it. She must be punished!" Leo said angrily.
I knew that Leo was thinking about Marc, who had been living a reclusive life, and Abigail, who had been misunderstood all this time.
Leo used to hate Abigail. At the stime, he was also suffering from it.
After all, Abigail was his mother. And I was the only one who could share his | feelings. N— | We cto realize that Abigail wasn't the one responsible for our miseries, and she had been wronged for years.
Leo and I were overwhelmed by the guilt. I didn't know if she would ever forgive us.
"Don't worry. I'll deal with Olivia after I'm done with the traitors," I said, agreeing with Leo. Olivia had it coming. She wouldn't getaway from the damage she brought upon us.
