Catherine's POV

I took a shower, lay down beside Hedwig, closed my eyes, and went to sleep.

Actually, I hadn't had those nightmares since I moved into Blake's villa.

I didn't know why. But I did know that I was getting better and better.

Time flew by, and another day passed. Today was Leo's birthday.

It would be rude to show up empty-handed on someone's birthday.

So, I decided to let the two kids prepare their gifts for Leo.

We were sitting at the dinner table, having breakfast.

"Mommy, can you give me some money? I will buy a bunch of flowers for Leo." Hedwig came up with a good idea.

Noah mocked, "Leo is a man. Men do not like flowers. Mommy, I want to give Leo a super cool lighter. Is that OK?"

"Smoking is harmful to our health. The teacher just taught us yesterday. Noah, do you want Leo to smoke every day?" Hedwig immediately retorted.

Blake hurriedly said, "Noah, Hedwig, Leo is rich. He can buy anything he wants. How about this? Why don't you make something yourself and give them to him as souvenirs?"

"Then I'll draw a portrait of Leo. I'm good at drawing." Hedwig was full of confidence.

Noah pursed his lips. "What's so great about drawing? I can make a car model for Leo. I have a lot of small parts upstairs."

I breathed a sigh of relief. "Both sound perfect. We'll go to Leo's party after getting off work. You can prepare the gifts at home."

"Mommy, aren't you going to send Leo a gift?" Hedwig asked me curiously.
