Chapter 197

Catherine's POV

When I woke up in the morning, Hedwig was kissing my face. "Mommy, mommy, haven't you woken upyet? The alarm is ringing!"

Of course, I didn't have enough sleep. I reached out and pushed Hedwig's face gently. "Let me sleepfor another five minutes..."

"Mommy, you're so lazy! Fine, I'll let you sleep for another five minutes. I'll start counting now!" Hedwigkissed my face with her cute mouth and began to count, "One... Two... Three... Four..."

"Hedwig, you're so noisy!" She was driving me crazy. I said I wanted to sleep for a few more minutes,and she started to countdown in my ear. How could I sleep at all?

Hedwig chuckled. "Mommy, you're distracting me. I forgot how many seconds I've counted!" Hedwigwas completely unaware of how annoying she was right now.

"Stop counting. I give up. I'll get up now!" I looked at Hedwig as she was giggling. Although I wanted tojokingly spank her, I couldn't, since she was so cute.

"Mommy, how did I get you to get up? Are you afraid of me? Am I a monster? I'm going to eat youalive!" Hedwig raised her hands, opened her mouth wide, and pounced at me, as if she was about tobite me.

I was amused by her. I got up lazily.

"Daddy..." Hedwig suddenly found the bedroom door open. The tall man who came in made Hedwigextremely happy.

Blake walked in wearing a suit and tie.

Blake crouched down, opened his arms, and waited for Hedwig to run toward him. Then he embracedher.

Hedwig's hair was messy, but she had a big smile on her face, making her look very cute.

"Daddy, mommy is so lazy. I urged her to get up, but she just wouldn't!" Hedwig immediately told onme.

"Really? It's fine. Let your mommy sleep a little longer. Daddy will help you brush your teeth and washyour face, OK?" said Blake.

I immediately fell back down. "Hedwig, go wash your face and brush your teeth with your daddy!"

After helping Hedwig wash up, Blake personally found her school uniform to wear. After that, he took acomb and combed her long hair.

I barely got out of bed until Blake was done with Hedwig.

"Well, let's go downstairs for breakfast!" Hedwig held Blake's finger tightly and looked at me.

"Go ahead. I will follow you," I said to Hedwig.

Hedwig immediately let go of Blake's finger and ran out.

Blake and I hurriedly followed her.

Noah and Hedwig were drinking milk and eating bread under Dowen's care.

Suddenly, a loud cry of joy came from outside the door. Then Patricia walked in quickly. When she sawthe two kids sitting at the table, she rushed over in surprise.

In the next second, the two kids were held in Patricia's arms.

Hedwig blinked and moved slightly. "Who are you? Why are you holding us?"

Patricia had to quickly let go.

Noah also tried hard to break free from Patricia's arms. Unlike Hedwig, he was not panicked. He saidcalmly, "Who are you? Do we know each other?"

"I am your great-grandmother. From now on, you can call me Patricia," Patricia answered quickly.

Then Emerson Chavez, Blake's grandfather, also walked over quickly. Patricia pointed to Emerson andsaid, "This is your great-grandfather. You can call him Emerson from now on."

Noah and Hedwig looked at each other. After a long time, Noah finally reacted. "I see. So, you are ourgreat-grandparents that our daddy told us about. Why are you here?"

"Don't mention it! Your daddy didn't tell us about you. We only found out about your existenceyesterday. We rushed here at once to see you. My two precious babies are so pretty," Patricia said andburst into tears.

Emerson said to Hedwig and Noah, "Come here. Let me hug you!"

Noah jumped down from the chair and walked toward Emerson.

Emerson hugged Noah tightly. "My great-grandson is so big. I almost can't hold you!"

Blake held Hedwig in his arms and said with a smile, "Hedwig, Noah, they are my grandparents, andthey are your relatives. You don't have to be afraid of them. They will love you and protect you asmommy and daddy do!"

Noah immediately brought a glass of milk to Emerson and said, "Great-grandpa Emerson, have a glassof milk!"

Noah put down the glass, ran over to hold my finger, and took me to his great-grandparents. "Mommy,this is daddy's grandparents, and they are also your grandparents!"

Noah's enthusiasm made me a bit awkward. I greeted them sheepishly, "Hello, Patricia, Emerson."

Emerson nodded and said, "So, you are the mother of the kids. You look very young. How old areyou?"

I quickly whispered, "Twenty-three years old."

Patricia was shocked. Then she glared at Blake.

Sensing Patricia's sharp look, Blake quickly explained, "Patricia, it's not what you think. I met Cathy byaccident!"

"I see. The kids are four now. So, you had them when you were eighteen?" Emerson asked directly.

The atmosphere suddenly became somber.

Hedwig suddenly opened her mouth and said, "Great-grandpa Emerson, please don't scold mymommy. Please!"

Hedwig was innocent and naive. She thought that when an elder talked to a junior in this way, swearingwould come next. So, Hedwig quickly pleaded for me.

Emerson smiled, "Hedwig, relax. I'm not going to scold your mommy. I just want to know more aboutyour mommy and your daddy!"

"Great-grandpa Emerson, are you really not going to scold my mommy? I'm glad then!" Hedwigimmediately smiled.

"Catherine, sit down and have breakfast. You have to go to work later, don't you?" Emerson instantlybecame nice to me. Maybe it was because of Hedwig's plea.

I thanked him and sat at the table, and Blake quickly put the milk and bread in front of me.

His silent comfort touched me a little.

The breakfast ended in the most dreary atmosphere. Noah and Hedwig were going to the werewolfschool to attend lessons. Emerson took the initiative to send them to school.

Emerson and Patricia left with the kids, and then the atmosphere at the table began to thaw.

I looked at Blake with frustration and said, "I think your grandmother has a problem with me."

"Don't worry. The kids are on your side. They'll help to soften my grandparents. I'm sure mygrandparents won't give you a hard time!" Blake comforted me calmly.

"I highly doubt it. What if your grandmother doesn't like me and doesn't accept me? What will you do?"I said.

"It's not going to happen. Don't worry!" Blake reached out and gently wiped the milk off my face.

He sounded careless, but his voice was also filled with determination and affirmation of me, whichsurprised me.
