Chapter 62
Catherine’s POV
“Dowen, what happened to Hedwig? Do you know something?” I asked curiously.
Dowen replied honestly, “The Princess has been like this after King Blake sent her back this afternoon. I don’t know what happened either. Maybe she was frightened.”
My brows couldn’t help but twitch. It was the same time that Eva told me that something was wrong with Hedwig. But what exactly happened to Hedwig?
I looked up and saw that Dowen was still looking at me, so I smiled and said, “OK. I’ll take her upstairs to play with Noah.”
Dowen nodded and went off to do something else.
I squatted down and smiled at Hedwig. “Hedwig, come here. Let’s go upstairs to find Noah and let him play with you, OK?”
“Mommy, I don’t want to play… I want to wait for daddy to come back.” Hedwig said in a low voice, as if she was afraid.
“Your daddy won’t be back so soon. Mommy will play with you for a while, OK?” I still smiled gently.
Hedwig immediately shook her head and said, “No! I want daddy. Daddy promised me.”
I had to stand up and say, “Hedwig, are you abandoning me? I’m so sad.”
When Hedwig heard me say this, she was hesitant, but she still did not come to my side.
My hands were tied. I decided to go back upstairs and change before hugging Hedwig.
As soon as I walked up the stairs, I saw her run out of the parlor. She sat quietly on the steps, waiting for Blake to come back
I changed my clothes and went to Noah. Sure enough, Noah was sitting on the ground and playing with a remote control train while mimicking the sound of the train.
“Noah!” I pushed the door in, which startled Noah. He quickly stood up.
Noah said, “Mommy, you’re back!”
“I need to ask you something. Did something happen to Hedwig at school today?” I decided to seek an answer from Noah instead of calling Blake directly. I was sure Noah knew something.
“Nothing … nothing happened!” Noah panicked and stuttered.
I narrowed my eyes and stared at him sternly. “Raise your head and look me in the eye. Yes or no?”
Noah had to look up at me and say, “Mommy, I don’t know. You should ask daddy. Daddy took her away.”
“You really don’t know?” I sighed. How could Noah be like this? How could he have no idea what happened to Hedwig?
“Yes. I really don’t know.” Noah didn’t dare say anything else.
I looked at Noah and was even more certain that something had happened to Hedwig at school.
At the same time, there was a sound coming from outside the window, which was the sound of a car driving into the courtyard. I thought Blake was back, so I hurriedly left Noah’s room.
As soon as I walked down the stairs, I saw Blake rushing towards Hedwig.
Hedwio looked so pitiful. She shrunk into a ball and sat there in a daze. I did not know if she was asleep. Her delicate
body shook a few times.
Blake squatted down in front of Hedwig and asked, “Hedwig, why are you sitting alone at the door?”
As soon as Hedwig heard Blake’s voice, she immediately looked up and said happily, “Daddy, you’re back finally! I have been waiting for you for a long time.”
“Waiting for me?” Blake was slightly stunned.
“That’s right! I wanted to see daddy as soon as possible, so I have been sitting here and waiting for you.” Hedwig was still smiling,
Blake held Hedwig in his arms, stroked her little head, and scolded her softly, “You little fool, don’t sit on the floor while waiting for daddy. Just wait in the parlor. Okay?”
“But daddy, I want to see you soon,” Hedwig said.
When I heard Hedwig’s words, I felt bitter. Since when did Hedwig become so dependent on Blake?
“OK. Daddy, mommy is back. You must keep my secret,” Hedwig whispered to Blake. She did not know that my hearing was very good. I heard her words.
Blake nodded. “Don’t worry. I won’t say anything to her…”
After he said this, I couldn’t help but walk out. I walked up to them and asked, “What did you say? What secret? What happened to Hedwig at school today?”
Blake frowned, picked Hedwig up, and walked directly to the parlor, pretending not to hear what I said.
I was actually ignored by Blake. I was instantly a little annoyed. Why were they hiding from me?
What exactly happened? Was Hedwig hurt? Was she bullied by others?
I quickly turned around, and then I stretched out my hand to block Blake. “I won’t let you in until you tell me.”
Blake frowned and said, “You threw wine on me this afternoon, and I let go. And now, stop asking why, OK?”
“No! Hedwig is my daughter…”
“But you’ve never even been to her school. If you really care about what happens to her, shouldn’t you ask yourself a question first? Are you a good mother?” There was a bit of ridicule in Blake’s tone.
I was stunned.
Hedwig shrank in Blake’s arms, and her face was pale with fright.
“I’m going to take Hedwig out. You can stay home with Noah.” Then Blake carried Hedwig and walked out.
When I heard that he was going to take Hedwig away alone I became even more curious and quickly blocked his way again. “Blake, don’t go anywhere until you explain it clearly to me. Where are you taking Hedwig? Is she hurt?”
“She’s not hurt. She’s fine.” After saying that, Blake bypassed me and walked toward the car.
I was so curious. If Hedwig wasn’t hurt, theri what happened? Why were they hiding it from me?
Was it because I had never taken the kids to school before? Was he getting back at me?
Eva felt my emotions. It woke up and asked me gently.
“Eva, I’m a bad mother. I don’t know what is happening to Hedwig. Everyone is keeping me in the dark,” I responded.
I suddenly thought that if I had found my mate, I would never have been as isolated and helpless as I was now. He would take my side unconditionally.
Eva probably sensed what I was thinking and said in a comforting tone, “I miss our mate, too. I think you will find him. But you have to get your necklace back first.”
“Gina won’t give it back to me.” I was a little depressed, but then I thought of something. “Why did you want me to find the necklace first? What does it have to do with our mate?”
“These are the instructions of Moon Goddess,” Eva said, and then it stopped responding to me.
