Catherine''s POV


    Dawn came faster in early winter. I had just drawn a couple of designs in the room when I heard my kids running fast outside.


    I quickly put down my pencil and drawing board and saw the bedroom door pushed open. Two small figures came in one after another.


    Hedwig ran over and threw herself into my arms. She looked up and asked, "Mommy, are you better? I am so worried about you!"


    I listened to her childish voice and gentlyforted her, "Much better. I''m fine! Don''t worry!"


    Noah stood to the side, his hands crossed in front of his chest. He smiled and said, "Mommy, do you have something to say to us?"


    I was immersed in Hedwig''s concern when I suddenly heard his question. I blinked. "What?"


    "Are you sure you don''t have something to say to us?" Noah immediately pursed his lips.


    Hedwig also blinked. She grinned and shouted, "I know what Noah wants to ask you. Patricia said that you and daddy are going to get married, is it true?"


    Noah smiled happily and said, "Mommy, it''s big! Why didn''t you tell us right away? I don''t want to talk to you anymore!"


    I pulled a wry face. Apparently, Patricia couldn''t wait. ke and I wanted to find the right time to tell the kids. I didn''t expect Patricia to tell them the news already.


    "Noah, don''t get mad. It''s not that I don''t want to tell you. I just feel that I need to find the right time to tell you. After all, it''s a deliberate decision!" I hurried over and held Noah in my arms,forting him softly.


    "Mommy, you and daddy are really going to get married this time, right? You''re not lying to us, right?" Noah asked with a serious face.


    "Why would we lie to you? It is happening. Your daddy and I are serious about living together." I patted Noah''s face. He was so stunningly shrewd.


    "Great! When are you going to get married? Can you hurry up? Can you do it tomorrow?" Hedwig asked anxiously.


    "Tomorrow isn''t going to work." I didn''t know how to exin it to her.


    "When then? I can''t wait!" Hedwig muttered.


    Noah immediately said disapprovingly, "Can''t you be patient? Marriage is a serious matter. It''s not a game. Leave it to daddy and mommy! They can make the decision."? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved.


    Hedwig red at him. "You are so annoying! I will not talk to you anymore!"


    After snorting, Hedwig strode out the door.


    "Ignore her!" Noah turned around. Then heforted me, "Who did she inherit from? She is not mature at all!"


    "Maybe she gets it from me?" I watched Hedwig leave in a huff and took the me.


    I took Noah''s hand and went downstairs.


    Hedwig had taken out her full set of dolls and was having a good time changing their costumes.


    Patricia sat next to Hedwig and yed with her, and they looked very happy. The scene was very harmonious.


    "Hey, Cathy!" Patricia saw us and greeted me.


    I greeted her quickly, "Patricia."


    Just a few days ago, Patricia and I had a huge fallout, and now we were getting along so well.


    In a short while, ke and Leo appeared at the door at the same time. The scene of them showing up together was exceptionally pleasing to the eyes.


    They had different styles. One was rigorous andposed, and the other was handsome and outgoing. However, they were equally good-looking, and no one could resist them.


    "Leo, why are you here?" Hedwig shouted at the sight of Leo.


    Leo shrugged his shoulders and pretended to be pitiful. "I don''t have anything to eat tonight, so I''m here for a meal. Is that OK?"


    Hedwig immediately sighed. "You''re so pitiful, Leo. You don''t even have anything to eat. I will ask my daddy to give you a lot of money so that you can buy food!"


    Her childish words made everyoneugh.


    Leo immediately looked at ke. "ke, did you hear that? Your daughter asked you to give me money!"


    ke walked to Hedwig and squatted down, ignoring Leo. He asked Hedwig gently, "Hedwig, how much do you want me to give him?"


    "Ten dors!" Hedwig answered seriously.


    Leo waspletely speechless. Ten dors? What was he? A beggar? Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    ke raised his eyebrows and looked at Leo. "Did you hear that? Ten dors. Do you want it?"


    When it was time for dinner, Emerson changed his clothes and went to thekeside vi. We sat at the table and ate peacefully.


    We chatted casually, and what Patricia was most concerned about was Leo''s mate.


    "Patricia, you have grandchildren now. Don''t worry so much, OK? I am only twenty-four years old. It''s too early to get married as an actor," Leo smiled andforted Patricia.


    When Patricia heard his words, she instantly choked up. "What did you say? You know that I am old. Can I hold on to the time when you are forty? I just want to see what your kids will be like."


    Everyone looked at Patricia''s tears that came out of the blue in surprise.


    "Leo, stop making Patricia cry!" Noah pleaded softly.


    Leoughed. "I must have inherited your acting skills. But you are better than me. Unlike me, you can cry way easier!"


    "Brat!" Patricia red at him. "I''m serious! I''m angry and worried!"


    "Alright, Patricia, don''t be angry. You don''t have to worry about me. You just want to see what my kids will be like, right? I can tell you now with certainty that if I had a son, it would look like Noah, and if I had a daughter, it would look like Hedwig. ke and I have looked like each other since we were little, and our kids will certainly look the same." Leo was beginning to shoot his mouth off.


    ke narrowed his eyes and nced at Leo coldly. "Unless your mate looks exactly like Cathy, then your kids will look like mine!"


    Leo''s expression instantly froze, and his face immediately turned red. He hurriedly exined, "You got me wrong. What I mean is, Catherine is beautiful!"


    Patricia said grumpily, "Stop it! Just see to it, OK?"


    Leo nodded. "Rest assured."


    After dinner, ke and Leo went upstairs to y games with Noah as usual.


    Noah was racing with Leo, and ke was drinking while leaning against the wall and watching them race.


    I was reading a storybook on the sofa with Hedwig in my arms.
