Catherine's POV

After hanging up the phone, I was still a little unsettled. I wasn't being cruel. It was just that the truth was too harsh.

I didn't want Emerson and Patricia to find out about this. If they did, they wouldn't allow me to stay at the lakeside villa.

I had to stick to my bottom line, for Noah and Hedwig and my uncertain future.

Night fell.

After work, I returned home a bit worn out. I saw Noah and Hedwig doing their homework as I walked in the door.

They were doing some handwork. Noah had already finished his homework and was helping Hedwig.

"Mommy, you are back! Are you tired today?" Hedwig said with a smile.

I stroked her head. "I'm not tired. Not after I see you guys."

"Mommy, we want to have dinner with you tonight!" Noah said with a smile.

I was touched.

Noah and Hedwig were very considerate. Even if I didn't ask for it, they were both on my side.

"Why don't you go and have dinner with daddy and the others tonight? We'll have dinner together tomorrow. I think it'll be better for everyone." I was moved, but I knew that Emerson and Patricia were also used to having Noah and Hedwig around. I was sure that they also wanted to eat with the kids.

"But if we don't stay, you will eat alone. Eating alone is very boring," Hedwig said.

"I am not bored!" I smiled and said, "I've been busy all day, so I'm starving now. I'll eat a lot, even if I eat alone."

Noah and Hedwig looked at me with their eyes widened.

I continued, "Go and ask Dowen to take you there. After dinner, come back to sleep!"
