Chapter 63
Catherine’s POV
After I chatted with Eva for a while, I felt better.
I couldn’t just let it get to me. Since Blake wouldn’t tellthe truth, I would find out about it on my own.
At dinner, Noah and I were the only ones at the table. I questioned Noah sternly. 1 frowned more deeply when I saw Noah sighing. Usually, Noah could eat a plate of food. Yet today, he only had a little.
“Noah, what’s wrong?” I reached out and stroked his head
Noah glanced atand sighed again. “Where did daddy take Hedwig? Were they out to eat something good?”
I realized that Noah wanted to go out to eat with Blake.
“Noah, if you tellwhat happened to Hedwig at school today, I’ll tell you what daddy took her to eat.” I learned to be smart enough to know that I should exchange conditions with Noah.
Noah had been dejected just now. When he heard my words, he immediately sat up straight and shook his head firmly. “Mommy, stop asking me. I really don’t know.”
“You little liar, are you lying to mommy? Hedwig is your little sister, and you are deskmates. How can you not know what happened to her?” I wanted to scold Noah sternly. Since when did he becso hard to crack?
Noah lowered his head and said, “I promised not to say anything. Mommy, you raisedto be a man of my word, and now I am.”

Noah was startled, and he jumped up. He followedhastily. “Mommy, why are you looking for it? We don’t have homework today.”
I could already see their backpacks lying in the corner of the sofa. I quickly walked over, picked up one, and opened it.
I found a notebook inside which recorded their daily life. The phone numbers of two teachers were on it.
Xtook out my phone from my pocket and dialed.
Soon, someone picked up the phone, and I heard a gentle female voice.
I asked politely, “Hello there. I am Hedwig’s Mommy. May I know what happened to Hedwig today?”
“Oh, hi. Hedwig bit her classmate’s finger today when she was fighting over a toy. Hedwig’s father should have taken care of that already.”
After knowing what had happened, I appreciated the teacher, hung up the phone, turned around, and glared at Noah.
Noah glanced atguiltily and quickly lowered his head. “Mommy, don’t blme. Daddy didn’t allow me to tell you.”
“And you’re just going to listen to him like that?” I really don’t understand. Since when did Noah becso obedient to Blake?
Noah pouted. “It’s not like that. I just wanted to protect Hedwig. If you know about this, you will scold her harshly.”
I froze. “Why would I scold her?”
“In the past, when she bit others, you would scold her,” Ndah immediately said what I did before.
I sighed. “I’m sorry. I was a little harsh with you guys. But you shouldn’t keepin the dark. If you bite someone, you should apologize.”
“After Hedwig comes back, mommy, you can talk to her nicely, but don’t scold her. Stupid Hedwig is so timid. She would cry ceaselessly,” Noah begged.
I was well aware of Hedwig’s personality. She was both stubborn and fragile,
“OK. I will talk to your daddy about this. But you have to promisethat from now on, you will tell me everything that happens at school, OK? I will get worried if you don’t.” I stroked Noah’s face and said to him patiently.
Noah nodded, indicating that he had remembered my words.
“Go and finish your meal. Don’t waste food!” I pushed him to the dining room.
In fact, I realized something because of what Blake had said before he left. If I didn’t participate in my kids’ school life, I would lose the right to speak. I was also responsible for what had happened.
Noah was worried that Hedwig would be scolded, so he refused to tell me. It meant that he was a good brother and had a sense of responsibility. And he gradually realized that he should protect his sister. It was a sign of him growing up.
I would only feel gratified instead of scolding him and being angry at him.
At around 9 pm, I went back to my room to do my work. Suddenly, I heard the sound of a car, so I put down the drawing brush and walked out of the bedroom quickly.
Going downstairs, I saw Blake walking in with Hedwig in his arms. Hedwig had fallen asleep already.
“I know what happened to Hedwig at school. Why didn’t you tell me?” I was still a little angry, yet I didn’t know why. I just felt that both my kids had taken Blake’s side, which upseta lot.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBlake looked down at Hedwig, who was sleeping soundly. “Put her on the bed first. Let’s talk alone.”
“Hand her over to me.” I cover to take Hedwig.
Blake gently placed Hedwig into my arms.
Thugged Hedwig tightly and heard her mutter unhappily, “Daddy…”
Blake looked at me, and I looked at Hedwig. Her unconscious mutter madefeel even more depressed.
“You should treat Hedwig better. Don’t be so harsh to her when she makes a mistake…”
“We raise kids differently, but that doesn’t mean you get to tellwhat to do,” I interrupted him and quickly carried Hedwig upstairs.
I carefully put Hedwig on the bed. She turned over and fell asleep on the other side immediately.
I looked at Hedwig’s delicate body and sighed. After tucking her in, I turned and went out of the door.
As soon as I opened the door, I saw Blake lazily leaning against the wall on the side. His tall figure made the corridor seem a little crowded.
I turned around and walked to the balcony next to the room, and he followed.
As soon as I reached the balcony, 1 turned around and said to him, “I admit that you are a good father. And I have seen how much you love them. The other day, I went a bit too far. I blew up at you because I was scared. Now, I have made up my mind. Let’s get along and take care of our kids equally.”
