Catherine's POV

I returned to the lakeside villa just as Noah and Hedwig were finishing class.

I sat in the parlor and waited. When I heard the sound of the car, I quickly walked out.

The car doors opened, and Noah and Hedwig ran toward me.

"Mommy, I miss you so much!" Hedwig hugged my neck tightly and kissed my face. "Mommy, don't leave anymore, OK?"

Hearing Hedwig's words, Noah looked at me with anticipation.

"OK, I promise. I won't go anywhere from now on. I will stay with you and Noah," I comforted Hedwig.

To my surprise, Noah and Hedwig missed me so much, though it had just been a few days.

"Mommy, daddy also went out to work, but he came back earlier than you. He came back yesterday. Can you call daddy over for dinner tonight?" Hedwig pleaded in a low voice.

Of course, I knew Blake was back early, but I couldn't say yes to Hedwig.

"If you miss daddy, you can have dinner with him tonight. I'll have to skip dinner." It was not that I didn't want to. I was just afraid. Patricia would have a problem with it.

Noah sighed, "Mommy, you and daddy aren't going to break up like this, are you? What about me and stupid Hedwig?"

I looked at Noah. "I don't know. You'll probably have to get used to the fact that daddy and I are separated."

"I'll live with it, but I'm not so sure about stupid Hedwig," Noah said.

Hedwig nodded. "He's right. I am not used to daddy and mommy living separately."

I looked into Noah and Hedwig's eyes and sighed. I said, "My hands are tied. I want to give you a full family, but this is beyond my decision. Hedwig, will you just help me for once and stop it?"

Hedwig nodded. She said, "OK, mommy. I won't make it hard for you anymore. Mommy, don't be angry."

"I am not angry." I held Noah and Hedwig's hands and walked into the parlor. "Come here and tell me about your day at school."

I diverted Noah and Hedwig's attention. They happily shared the interesting things that happened at school with me.

Soon, it was time for dinner.

At this time, Dowen came over and said that Patricia had called. She wanted to pick up Noah and Hedwig for dinner at the mountain-top villa.
