Chapter 311

Catherine's POV

Soon, it was early in the morning.

Blake would always wake up before seven o'clock. He got up, leaving nothing but an empty space beside me. I muttered dissatisfied.

He leaned over and kissed me, and then I went back to sleep.

He had the habit of doing morning exercises. I didn't wake up until he came back.

I asked him to wake up Noah and Hedwig, and then I slipped into the bathroom.

Noah and Hedwig had grown up a bit, and they no longer acted willfully when getting up. Unlike before, now they wouldn't glue themselves to bed and try to lie in a bit longer. Therefore, I trusted Blake with getting them out of bed.

By the time I came to the children's room, Blake had already helped them put on their clothes. He was combing Hedwig's hair and tying her hair into a ponytail. Indeed, he had changed a lot.

Noah, on the other hand, did not need any help from Blake. Noah dabbed his hands in water and made himself a hairstyle that was identical to Blake's.

Looking at them, I felt very content. Once again, I was grateful to the Moon Goddess.

When I went downstairs with them, Nick was already sitting next to Patricia and Emerson.

"Emerson, Patricia, good morning!" Noah and Hedwig greeted Patricia and Emerson, making the couple laugh.

Patricia pointed at Nick. "Nick is here, too!"

"Nick, good morning!" Noah and Hedwig said politely.

Nick kept smiling. He immediately reached out to stroke Hedwig's head. Hedwig dodged subconsciously.

Nick was slightly stunned.

I explained at once, "Noah and Hedwig are a bit shy. She won't be like this after you get to know them better."

Nick retracted his hand and said gently, "Well, they are just kids. Kids are shy. I guess I should spend more time with them so that I can be their friend."

Noah and Hedwig blinked without saying anything. It seemed that both of them remembered what I had said to them clearly. They should keep their distance from Nick.

Blake was very satisfied with Noah and Hedwig's reaction. I saw him smile.

"Blake, how's Leo doing these days? I'm looking forward to his new movie. I haven't heard from him," Nick smiled and asked about Leo.

Hearing Nick's words, Patricia laughed. "Leo has found his mate. He probably doesn't have time to make movies right now. You can always go and hang out with him."

"Actually, I am preparing to buy a place nearby. Then, I can attend the mating gathering in Shadow Forest. Blake, do you have any recommendations?" Nick asked Blake with a smile.

Blake was drinking coffee. After hearing Nick's words, he said, "If you are looking for a place, I can make some arrangements."

"Thanks, Blake, but I am a hands-on person. It's just that I'm still quite unfamiliar with Sayreville. I hear Catherine is taking a break now..." Nick looked at me.

"No!" Blake's voice was low. He refused Nick straightforwardly. Then he said, "She will be at the hospital for her check-up today."

After saying that, Blake grabbed my hand as if I would get lost otherwise.

Blake wiped the corner of his mouth and then touched Hedwig's head. "Hedwig, Patricia will take you and Noah to school later. I'm going to work now."

"Alright, Daddy! Drive safe!" Ever since my accident, Hedwig reminded Blake specifically every time she waved him goodbye.

Blake turned Nick down bluntly, so Patricia was worried that things would get weird. To ease the tensions, she said a bit hastily, "Nick, I'll ask Dowen to go for a walk with you later. He is familiar with the neighborhood."

"I'm good, Patricia. I think I'll go out alone," Nick smiled and refused her.

"Alright then. There are many cars in Blake's garage. Go ahead and pick the one you like," Patricia said gently.

"Thanks, Patricia!" Nick smiled.

After breakfast, Patricia sent Noah and Hedwig to school, while I went to the hospital for my last checkup.

The wound on my head had healed, yet I was still suffering from neurotrauma. I had been recovering well, but I still needed to be cautious. The doctor emphasized the importance of having enough rest, and I had to go to the hospital at once if I was feeling uncomfortable. I felt a little worried after listening to the doctor, and I nodded quickly.

After getting rid of the gauze, the first thing I did was go to a hair salon.

I went to a high-end beauty salon with Melinda. The staff there carefully washed my hair. Then Melinda and I went for some hair treatment. We lay in beds and chatted.

It was already past four o'clock in the afternoon when we came out of the beauty salon. I called Patricia, telling her that I wanted to pick Noah and Hedwig up by myself. Patricia

didn't refuse me. She agreed without hesitation.

I sat in the car. Behind me was a car full of pack guards.

I looked at the scenery outside the window, feeling uneasy. At the thought of the crisis that the company and the pack were facing, I couldn't help but get worried. How was Blake handling it? Did Nick's sudden return have anything to do with the crisis?

I didn't dare to think further. The more I thought about it, the more worried I got.

When I arrived at school, I looked at the time. Hedwig and Noah's class would finish in about ten minutes. I sat in the car, leaning against the seat and looking out of the window.

Suddenly, I saw a familiar figure.

It was Abigail.

Abigail saw my car as well. She walked towards me.

I opened the car door and got out.

"Abigail, why are you here?" I asked curiously. I was always polite when facing Abigail. No matter who she was, Abigail just didn't strike me as a bad woman. After all, she was Halsey's mate. How could she be a bad woman? That was impossible.

Abigail smiled when she saw me. She said, "I'm here to see Noah and Hedwig. I thought Patricia was here to pick them up."

"Patricia won't come today. Why are you still in Sayreville?" I asked. I had talked to Halsey on the phone, and he told me that he had already gone back to deal with the pack's matters.

Abigail lowered her head and said, "I'm not going back. I'll stick around. I've moved to a new place, so bring Noah and Hedwig over whenever the time suits you."

"Sure thing!" I readily agreed.

Abigail gave her address to me. "Don't be mad at Blake if he doesn't want you to visit me."

"I will talk to him. You are his mother after all," I smiled.

"I know. I am not a good mother in his eyes. I am ashamed about it," Abigail said and

lowered her head.

I knew things had been difficult between Blake and Abigail. For a moment, I did not know

what to say to make her feel better.

Just then, the school gate opened.

"Abigail, why don't you pick Noah and Hedwig up together with me?" I said softly.

Abigail looked happy. "Sure! I have nothing to do anyway. I just want to see more of Noah and Hedwig. Noah looked a lot like Blake when Blake was a kid."

I giggled. "You all say that Noah looks like Blake, but I've never seen Blake as a kid."

"I have a photo album of Blake when he was a kid. I can show you the photos when you come

over. He and Leo were so naughty when they were little boys!" Abigail said with a smile. As she mentioned Blake and Leo, she was clearly in a better mood.
