Chapter 143


    Catherine’s POV


    I couldn’t believe ke had been watching me in the shadows. In other words, he saw what I just did!


    I felt extremely ashamed and immediately turned to leave.


    “Stop!” I had only taken a few steps when I heard hismand from behind me.


    I stopped obediently and turned around. I red at him with some resentment. “How long have you been


    standing there? Why didn’t you make a sound? Did you deliberately make me a fool? You are so


    terrible.”


    “You’re just saying that because you’re embarrassed. Right?” There was a smile in ke’s eyes.


    I was stunned. Damn ke!


    Just as I decided not to talk to him for the rest of my life, ke quickly walked toward me. Then, with a


    strong and overbearing grip, he pulled me towards the balcony.


    My eyes were wide open. I looked down at my wrist that was tightly grabbed by ke, and I had been


    forcefully led forward by him.


    “ke, what are you doing? Let go! I’m going to sleep!” I had decided not to ask him for the favor. Self-


    esteem was more important.


    I would rather keep my pride than be looked down upon by him.


    “Weren’t you looking for me just now?” There was still a smile in ke’s tone.


    I was going crazy.


    “I have nothing to say to you now. Let go of me!” I denied it.


    But I had already been pulled out of the balcony by ke.


    I felt that my back was gently pushed against the wall by ke. Immediately after, ke ced a hand


    next to my ear.


    He looked down at me from above, and my breathing quickened. I raised my eyes and looked at ke’s


    unfathomable eyes.


    “Why did you make me a fool?” I used him of his evil deeds.


    “Why did you make me a fool?” I used him of his evil deeds.


    ke was slightly stunned. He shrugged in surprise and innocence. “When did I make you a fool?”


    “You had no intention of agreeing to my request at all. You just wanted to tease me, didn’t you?“|


    hadn’t heard his answer yet. Of course, my mind was filled with the worst consequences.


    ke couldn’t help but smile in a deep voice.


    “Cathy, I won’t refuse any of your requests,” said ke.


    I was stunned when I heard his words.


    “Really?” He finally answered, yet I was a little suspicious.


    VA


    Perhaps it was because the corners of his lips were raised, making me wonder.


    ke stopped smiling and became serious. “Of course. I will say yes to any of your requests, as long as


    it’s not about taking the children away from me.”


    “Be careful what you say.” I felt that ke was exaggerating.


    “Alright. I’ve already agreed to your request. Now, should we talk about things between you and me?”


    ke stared at me without blinking.


    I immediately understood what he meant.


    Just as I was about to reach out and push him away, his tall body had already leaned down. He kissed


    me in an instant.


    I didn’t even have the time to react. I was kissed firmly by him just like that.


    My hands were pressed against his chest, and I kept trying to push him away. But why did I lose all my


    strength all of a sudden?


    All of the strength in my body seemed to have been taken away by ke.


    I was very afraid of my reaction. It made me feel that in the next second, I would be obsessed with his


    lips.


    No way. I wouldn’t let it happen. I couldn’t fall for that. It would be so spineless.


    However, disagreeing with my heart, my body seemed to be the honest one.


    ke didn’t go any further than that. He simply kissed my lips. He propped one hand on the wall behind


    me, and the other gently lifted my chin.


    Comannanouched


    Someone coughed.


    Both ke and I heard the sound clearly.


    ke didn’t care, but I used all my strength to push him away, and he took a few steps back.


    We turned to look and saw that Howard was holding a milk bottle in one hand and holding Ash in the


    other, standing there with an embarrassed look.


    I was so embarrassed that I just wanted to vanish for good.


    “What are you doing here instead of staying in your room?”\ke was a little unhappy.


    Howard said with a bitter face, “I wanted to stay in the room, but Ash didn’t. So, I brought her


    here.”


    I didn’t dare to say a word. I just hid behind ke.


    Howard sat down on a chair at the side and stuffed the pacifier into Ash’s mouth. Ash happily held the


    milk bottle and sucked inrge mouthfuls. Her face was filled with happiness.


    ke walked over and gently stroked Ash’s face with his finger. “Your daughter is so cute. Take good


    care of her. I’m going to sleep.”


    I hurriedly went around behind ke and left in a hurry.


    After I returned to my room, Iy on the bed. Beside me, Hedwig was sleeping soundly, but I just

    felt hot all over. I couldn’t calm down whatsoever.


    Why would I have such a strong reaction?


    Y was not supposed to be interested in ke. Was my body attracted to him?


    The next morning arrived.


    Ilistlessly dragged Hedwig down the stairs.


    Noah immediately asked with concern, “Mommy, did you not sleep well yesterday? What’s wrong? Is


    there something bothering you?”


    ke could not help but smile in a low voice.


    I carried Hedwig to the children’s seat, sat down, and took a ss of water to drink.


    “Mommy, if you have something on your mind, you can tell me. I will share it with you,” Noah said.


    I chuckled. “Noah, I’m fine. It’s just that … I was bitten by a mosquito yesterday!”


    I wanted to say that I was bitten by a dog. But we didn’t have a dog at home. I couldn’t lie.


    Hearing my words, Noah blinked and turned to look at ke. “Daddy, are there mosquitoes at home?”


    ke’s handsome face was slightly embarrassed as he vaguely said, “Probably… Maybe.”


    “Mommy, don’t worry. I’ll tell Dowen about this on my way to school. I will ask him to kill the mosquito as


    soon as possible!”


    As soon as Noah finished speaking, ke choked on coffee.’


    I was in low spirits. But when I heard that Noah cared so much about me, I instantly felt much better.


    “You’re right. It should be killed! It deserves to be killed!” I agreed with Noah and said angrily.


    ke looked at me with a dangerous look in his eyes. With a touch of provocation, he said lightly, “Be


    careful not to let the mosquito hear you. Maybe it will bite somewhere else and make you itch even more


    next time.”


    When I heard this, I immediately red at ke.


    Bastard! How could he say such shameless words at the dining table? Besides, the kids were here! Was


    he crazy?


    Hedwig instantly shouted, “If that mosquito dares to bite mommy again, I will step on it!”


    “I’ll p it into ashes!” Noah was not to be outdone.


    dur kids had a lot of fight in them. On the contrary, ke and I both fell silent and stopped talking.


    The atmosphere during breakfast was still harmonious.


    “Where are Mr. Twitty and Ash?” I asked curiously.


    ke said lightly, “Maybe they haven’t woken up yet. They must have slept veryte yesterday.”


    I looked sympathetically in the direction of the stairs. “It is so difficult for him to take care of his daughter.”


    “It is his duty. There is no rule saving that a woman should take care of the child, is there?” ke


    answered with a smile.


    His words made me feel warm, but then my expression froze.


    It was so weird. Why did I always care so much about what ke said?
