Chapter 250


    Catherine''s POV


    The night fell. I had been feeling like I was in a dreamtely since my life had been so wonderful.


    Patricia and Emerson appreciated me, and ke indulged me. He would surprise me from time to time


    to make me happy.


    ke was a perfect mate. Wealth made him confident. And though many people also had money, they


    weren''t as delicate and gentle as him. Therefore, ke was simply attractive.

    I used to think he was arrogant and self-centered, but after I fell for him, I realized that ke did have


    what it took to attract women.


    "Mommy!" Hedwig suddenly ran over. She asked me seriously, "After you and daddy get married, are


    you going to call him honey?"


    I was a little surprised that she asked so. I smiled, "Who told you that?"


    "I saw it on TV. A kid''s mommy calls his daddy honey," Hedwig said, blinking her eyes like a curious


    baby.


    I chuckled. "Why don''t you go and ask your daddy? I can''t exin this."


    "OK! I''ll ask him!" Hedwig quickly ran away.


    I followed her with a smile. Hedwig pushed ke''s door. ke just finished the shower and put on his


    pajamas. Then, he saw Hedwig, his precious daughter, push the door and walked in.


    "Daddy, I have a question for you!" Hedwig rushed over and hugged his thigh. "What does honey


    mean?"


    "Honey is... the way married couples call each other."


    "But you and mommy are not married yet." Hedwig tilted her head and blinked her big eyes.


    ke smiled gently and said, "Yeah, not yet."


    "That''s right. Mommy hasn''t worn a beautiful wedding dress yet." Hedwig nodded seriously as if she


    understood everything.


    I listened to the funny conversation between them for a while, and then I returned to my room.


    I opened the box on the dressing table and looked at the jewelry that ke had bought me.


    Suddenly, I noticed that the obsidian ne my mother left me was missing. I quickly checked all the


    jewelry in the box. Yet it was nowhere to be found.


    I rushed to ke''s room and said anxiously, "ke, did you see the obsidian ne my parents left


    me? I couldn''t find it anywhere. Will you help me?"


    ke''s arms froze slightly as he hugged Hedwig.


    "Calm down. I''ll go with you to take a look!" ke put Hedwig down and followed me into my room.


    I opened the drawer and said nervously, "I always put it here, but now it''s gone. How could it be? Has


    Hedwig been ying with it again?"


    ke turned around and looked at Hedwig, who had poked her head in.


    I trotted toward her. "Hedwig, I want you to be honest with me. Have you been going through my


    drawer again?"


    "No, I didn''t!" Hedwig shook her head. "Mommy, I didn''t take your ne!"


    Hedwig was startled. ke said, "Catherine, let''s look again. Hedwig won''t lie. She said she didn''t take


    it. Then I''m sure she didn''t."


    I put my hand over my forehead, regretting that I had failed to control my temper.


    I muttered, "It''s all I have from my parents. If I lose it, I''ll have nothing to memorize about them."


    "Mommy, don''t cry. I''ll help you find it!" Hedwig ran over and hugged my leg tofort me.


    I nodded. "OK. Hedwig,e and help me find it."


    "It must still be in the room. I will look around again!" I opened all the drawers, rummaged through stuff,


    and tried to find it.


    I was so anxious that I almost went crazy. It was in the drawer. How could it disappear?


    I remembered that Patricia had spoken of the ne not long before, and I had seen it then. It had


    been only a few days, and yet it was missing.


    ke suddenly said in a low voice, "Catherine, calm down. I''ll ask Dowen and see if he knows


    anything."


    I calmed down and nodded. "Alright. Ask him if he put it away for me while he was cleaning."


    ke walked out the door. I waited for a while, and I still felt unsettled. So, I rushed out.


    I walked to the stairs and saw ke and Dowen. I asked anxiously, "Dowen, have you seen my


    obsidian ne?"


    Dowen said, "Ms. Wyatt, I haven''t. But I sent a maid to clean your room the other day."


    "Really? Then can you find her and ask her about it? Maybe she put my ne elsewhere." I asked


    in a hurry as if there was a clue to find it.


    However, Dowen had an awkward expression on his face. "I''m so sorry, Ms. Wyatt. The maid resigned


    a few days ago. I''m afraid I can''t find her."


    "What?" I froze.


    ke walked to my side andforted me, "Catherine, don''t be sad. We think she might have stolen


    your ne."


    "Why would she steal it? It isn''t worth much." I was furious.


    Dowen quickly exined, "She probably had never seen any diamonds or jewelry before, and your


    ne looked valuable to her. So, she took it."


    "ke, can you help me find the maid? I can give her money. I just want her to give it back. That''s the


    only thing my parents left me. Please help me!"


    I grabbed his hands and pleaded, "I can''t lose the ne. You know it means a lot to me. I can give


    her money. All I ask is that she gives me the ne back!"


    ke''s tone was still gentle. He said, "OK. I''ll send someone to look for her. But I can''t say for sure.


    What if she sold the ne? I don''t know if we can get it back."


    I nodded. "Alright. Just help me find her first."


    "I will. Don''t worry. Let me take you upstairs to rest." ke held my hand and brought me upstairs.


    ke took me back to my bedroom. Hedwig was still rummaging in the bed. When she saw mee


    in, she immediately said with a disappointed face, "Mommy, I looked everywhere, but I couldn''t find it."


    I forced a smile. "Hedwig, go y with Noah. You can stop looking for it now."


    "Is it nowhere to be found?" Hedwig blinked.


    ke pushed Hedwig out of the door. "Go find your brother. Mommy is tired. We should let her rest."


    "OK, daddy. Take care of mommy." As Hedwig finished talking, she ran away.
