Chapter 173
Catherine‘s POV
I was a little stunned as I looked at the exquisite dishes, and then I found that there was
only one set of tableware within.
I looked at ke with some einbarrassment. He chuckled. You can feed me. A few bites are enough.”

“Why don‘t you go ahead? I‘ll startter.” I didn‘t want to feed him.
There was a hint of disappointment in his handsome eyes. “What is it? You despise
me?
I looked at him innocently. “If I despise you, I will not even let you eat.”
Only then did a smile appear on ke‘s handsome face. He said, “Forget it. I‘m not eating. You go
ahead. I will go back after you‘re done eating.”
ke reached for a magazine next to him and began to read it.
“Are you free tomorrow afternoon?” ke suddenly asked.
“I don‘t know yet. Why?” I wondered.
“The pack‘s doctor who takes care of my father is in Sayreville. I want to arrange for you to meet.” ke
put down the magazine in his hand and looked at me with a little worry in his eyes. “This kind of mental
illness must be treated early.”
I knew he cared about me genuinely. I replied, “I‘m avable tomorrow at noon.”
“Great! Then I will make some arrangements,” said ke immediately.
I finished my meal slowly. Then I turned to look at ke, only to find that he was staring at me without
blinking.
I wiped my mouth and asked, “Why are you staring at me?”
“No reason. Are you sull?! ke calmly came back to his schises. Ile didn‘t think of
himself as rude at all.
For some reason, my heart beat faster because of his gaze.
“I‘ll clean this upter. You should go home now,” I urged him.
ke reached out, grabbed the back of my head naturally, and kissed me without any indication.
My mind went nk. By the time I came back to my senses, he had already let go of me with
satisfaction.
He said, “Don‘t be toote. The kids and I will wait for you at home.”
His words were firm and heartwarming, making me realize the meaning of home.
I drove back to the vi at about ten o‘clock. From afar, I saw many lights had already
gone out.
The two kids must have been asleep by now.
I instinctively stepped on the elerator, and my car sped forward.
I was utterly anxious to go back home.
Stepping into the parlor, I went upstairs.
I heard a man‘s low and charming voiceing from ke‘s room.
I curiously pushed open the door and entered. I saw my two kids lying on each side of the man. With a
storybook in hand, ke was reading a bedtime story to them.
“Mommy, you‘re back. Daddy is telling us a wonderful story! I don‘t want to go to sleep,” Hedwig
immediately got up and said to me happily.
I couldn‘t help but chuckle. “Then let him tell the story to you for a bit more. Mommy will take a shower
now. Then I‘ll take you to sleep!”
Hedwig nodded obediently. “Mommy, bathe slowly. It‘s fine. I want to hear the story a little longer.”
I looked at Hedwig helplessly. What kind of bedtime story was he telling them? Howe the longer lie
spoke, the less Hedwig wanted to sleep?
Was it because he was too good at telling bedtime stories?
When I turned to leave, I couldn‘t help but look at ke. Our eyes met. I immediately turned around and
fled in panic.
I took a shower and walked into his room, only to find that both kids were asleep in his
arinis.
ke gave me a quiet gesture and croaked, “They‘ve just fallen asleep.”
I watched him gently rise from between them and get out of bed.
Then lie walked over to me and naturally hugged me.
I felt dizzy and struggled slightly.
“Don‘t be like this, ke. The kids are here!” He was so bold.
“Catly, you smell so attractive.”
I heard ke‘s low voice.
I found it hard to resist his charm. I took a step back. “Well, I‘m taking Hedwig to sleep now. Go to
sleep.”
Theld Hedwig in my arms, kissed her face, and walked out the door with her in my arms.
ke hurried over and opened the door for me. “Goodnight!”
I smiled and looked back at him. For some reason, I felt that ke did have an
irresistible charm.
ke winked at me in an evil manner, which was intoxicating.
My heart beat wildly because of his wink. I felt the need to get over my nightmares and throw myself into
ke‘s arms.
But I still didn‘t know anything about my nightmares, except that the touch of a man would make me
tremble and give me goosebumps. What kind of illness was this?
The next morning soon arrived.
I opened my eyes and saw Hedwig sleeping like a piggy next to me. The sunlight passed through the
curtains andnded on Hedwig‘s rosy cheeks. Everything seemed perfect. Love was in the air.
Such a feeling filled people with a longing for life and vitality.
I blinkedzily, and the corners of my mouth couldn‘t help but rise.
When I held Hedwig and went downstairs, I saw ke and Noah in the dining room. I
was even more content.
ke put down his fork and walked over. He hugged Hedwig and kissed her. “Hedwig, are you still
drowsy?”
“Yes. Daddy, can you help me ask for a day off from my teacher? I want to sleep a little longer.” Hedwig
hugged ke‘s neck tightly with her hands.
ke smiled gently, “Hedwig, starting tonight, you need to go to bed earlier. Otherwise, you‘ll always feel
sleepy in the morning. You are not sick. You can‘t ask for leave from the teacher for no reason. OK?”
“Do I get to ask for leave when I‘m sick?” Hedwig blinked. Then she said seriously, “Just tell the teacher
that I am sick. Then I can have the teacher‘s permission.”
Ever since she was spoiled by ke, Hedwig had been more and more unruly.
“Hedwig, you are a kid. You can‘t lie!”
Hedwig pouted.
“Come here. Daddy will feed you breakfast.” ke held her in his arms and fed her milk.
“Mommy, have you been busy with worktely?” Noah turned to me.
I had some bread and nodded. “Yes. Abit. What‘s wrong?”
“Nothing. I just hope you take care of yourself. Don‘t wear yourself out!” Noah said with
concern.
I grinned and stroked his head. “Noah, you‘ll be a caring boy.”
