If he got his own way this time, he would continue to threaten her with it later.
Catherine knew it, but Sophia’s cry rang out in her ears.
Her heart was bloody hurt as if tightly held by something.
She took a taxi to Ziting Villa. She went in such a rush that she even had no time to change out of nightgown.
Security guard seemed to have known that she was coming.
He got excited at seeing her, “Please go in the house, Miss Johnson. Master Anderson has been waiting for a long time.”
As Miss Sophia cried, Anderson had no idea what to do with it.
Instead of being calmed down, Miss Sophia even cried worse.
Anderson felt a headache when seeing Sophia kept crying.
“Stop it. Your mommy is coming soon.”
Catherine just about came to the door when she heard Anderson’s impatient voice, and she hurriedly pushed in.
“Sophia, mommy is here.”
Sophia instantly stopped crying on hearing Catherine’s voice. She looked at Catherine with puffy eyes like walnut, and rushed to her.
“Mommy, you’re coming.” she buried her red face in Catherine’s arms.
“Alright, don’t cry.”
When coaxing the child, Catherine sounded very gentle.
Sophia got tired and took Catherine’s hand, “Nanny, it’s dinner now. My mommy comes.”
“Ok.”
Sophia took Catherine to the table, waiting for nanny to serve the dishes.
“Miss Johnson, Miss Sophia has told me to cook your favorite dishes when she heard you are coming.” nanny smiled.
“Master Lincoln also asked me to buy your favorite drinks.”
“They’re good children. You should tell them in advance if you are not coming. It’s not good from them to cry too much.”
Nanny said to Catherine as she was serving the dishes.
Catherine nodded and met smiling look of the man sitting opposite her.
That smile seemed to be a mock to her. She clenched fist. He won again.
“Mommy, try this shrimp. It’s good.” Sophia stretched out arm and put a shrimp on Catherine’s plate.
She was so little that her arms trembled when getting the food.
Seeing this, Catherine felt touched. Her children were so thoughtful.
She had cruelly decided not to come to see them.
How hurtful it would be for Sophia and Lincoln!
After they finished the dinner, Catherin applied ice on Sophia’s puff eyes.
“In the future, don’t cry even if mommy is not here, alright?”
Sophia covered her ears shook her head like a rattle-drum, “No, I can’t hear you.”
“Don’t fool me. It’s bad for you to cry too much.” She was different from other children, in that her health condition can’t allow her to have bi ups and downs in emotion.
“Then why you didn’t come to see me?” Sophia said sadly, still with swollen eyes.
She could not utter a harsh word.
She put children to bed. When she intended to leave, Anderson stood in front of her arrogantly.
He said ruthlessly, “You finally come.”
She bit her lips.
Anderson laid his fingers on her lips, “I’d like to advise you not to make useless struggle, otherwise, you’ll get hurt, or maybe Sophia and Lincoln.”
“You filthy wretch.”
He smiled carelessly.
Only she was under his control, as for other things, he didn’t care at all.
