Chapter 68


    Catherine’s POV


    Dowen picked up his phone and dialed a number,


    He told ke that I was going to take the kids to Mabel’s ce for dinner in the next second, ke


    asked him to hand over the phone to me.


    “Ms. Wyatt, King ke wants to talk to you.”


    I took the phone and put it against my ear. “What do you want to say?”


    “I don’t think you should take them out. I’m afraid they’ll be in danger,” said ke.


    “Do you think you can trap them in the school and your ce forever?” I knew he was looking out for


    the kids. But if the price of being his kids was losing other kinds of happiness, I’d rather exclude him


    from Noah and Hedwig’s lives.


    Hearing my words, ke pondered for a few seconds. Then he said, “OK. You can take them away.


    But I’ll have dinner together with them tonight.”


    “What?” His condition surprised me. I immediately frowned.


    “Do you not understand what I’m saying? I would go to Mabel’s ce for dinner as well. By the way,


    ask Dowen to send you there. I don’t trust you to drive the kids.” He hung up the phone after speaking.


    “What an asshole!” I was a bit angry. Enjoying some time together with my kids and Mabel was very


    rare. His presence would ruin the atmosphere totally.


    “Ms. Wyatt, did King ke hang up?” Dowen was startled.


    I gave him the phone back, and I returned to normal. “Dowen, please take us thereter.”


    Around half past four, my two kids appeared at the school gate.


    “Mommy…” Hedwig saw me first and ran over excitedly.


    Noah grinned

    “Dowen, howe you and mommy are both here?” Hedwig threw herself into my arms and asked


    curiously.


    I kissed Hedwig’s face and asked with a gentle smile, “Hedwig, do you want to eat at Mabel’s ce


    tonight?”


    “Really? That’s great!” Hedwig’s face was full of happiness


    “Let’s go, then.” I put her down and turned to drive my car,


    “Well? Can you guys have dinner at my ce tonight?” Mabel came up and asked me.


    “I asked him, and he said yes. But … he wanted to join us.” I thought of how justified he sounded, and I


    felt frustrated.


    “What? King ke ising? Let’s hurry back and make preparations.” Mabel was very surprised.


    “Mabel, no need to hurry!” I stopped her quickly and took her into the car. Then I drove behind the


    motorcade.


    Around half past six in the evening, Noah and Hedwig were sitting in the living room eating fruit,


    watching cartoons, and running around the sofa a few times.


    They were so happy, like two little fools. Then, they suddenly heard the doorbell ring.


    “Catherine, open the door,” Mabel urged me.


    I walked over to the door. Sure enough, ke was standing at the door in a suit.


    “King ke! Pleasee in.” Mabel had a trace of respect on her face.


    “Daddy! You’re here as well?” Hedwig and Noah immediately jumped off the sofa.


    ke politely said to Mabel, “Hello.”


    “Hello!” Mabel was both excited and nervous.


    Hedwig looked up andughed happily. “Daddy, I am so happy that you cane. I want nothing but


    our family to eat together!”


    The word “family” made ke smile.


    Yet I pretended not to hear. I didn’t think ke could be our family. After all, Leo just gave me a hard


    time at noon


    today.


    “Daddy,e here! Sit here!” Hedwig was much more enthusiastic than I was. She pulled ke’s big


    hand and dragged him to the sofa. Then she sat directly in his arms. “Daddy, do you want some fruit?”


    ke pinched her face and said, “Maybeter.”


    I put a ss of water in front of ke and said lightly, “You can y with them. I’ll help Mabel cook”


    “Go ahead!” said ke in a low voice.


    I insisted on staying in the kitchen. Though Mabel chased me away several times, I just didn’t want to


    go out.


    Anyway, I didn’t want to see that man. To be more precise, I didn’t like the feeling of being in the same


    room with


    him


    It made me feel very ufortable. When we were together, everything became deadly quiet. It was


    so weird.


    “Mabel, let me make the sd.” I was quite confident in cooking.


    Mabel nodded and said, “OK. Remember to cook the potatoes through.”


    I finished making the potato sd and brought it to the table. As soon as I came out, I saw ke and


    the children quietly sitting on the sofa watching TV. I was slightly lost in thought.


    ke suddenly turned his head. His dark eyes happened to meet my gaze.


    When I came back to my senses, I found that ke was staring at me strangely. I somehow blushed,


    and I hurriedly hid back in the kitchen.


    With Mabel at the helm, the dinner was finally ready. Mabel made a steak for ke and roasted


    chicken with apples for the kids. There was also seafood chowder and soup. I made macaroni and


    cheese. And for dessert, Mabel prepared her famous ckberry cake.


    Hedwig and Noah were very happy to see the sumptuous dinner.


    “King ke, would you like some wine? I have a bottle of vintage wine here,” Mabel said with a smile.


    “He doesn’t drink, Mabel. There’s no need.” I knew how precious the wine was, and I didn’t want Mabel


    to waste it on ke.


    “Mabel, Catherine is right. I don’t drink!” ke replied with a meaningful tone.
