Chapter 282

  Catherine's POV

  After hanging up the phone, I was still a little unsettled. I wasn't being cruel. It was just that the truth was too harsh.

  I didn't want Emerson and Patricia to find out about this. If they did, they wouldn't allow me to stay at the lakeside villa.

  I had to stick to my bottom line, for Noah and Hedwig and my uncertain future.

  Night fell.

  After work, I returned home a bit worn out. I saw Noah and Hedwig doing their homework as I walked in the door.

  They were doing some handwork. Noah had already finished his homework and was helping Hedwig.

  "Mommy, you are back! Are you tired today?" Hedwig said with a smile.

  I stroked her head. "I'm not tired. Not after I see you guys."

  "Mommy, we want to have dinner with you tonight!" Noah said with a smile.

  I was touched.

  Noah and Hedwig were very considerate. Even if I didn't ask for it, they were both on my side.
