Chapter 776
Catelyn took Miles and Ollie to eat their favorite dishes. Miles liked spicy food, and ollie liked light food. Catelyn had been driving tirelessly from one place to another to take the two little guys to have the most fun. Shortly afterward, the two little kids were so tired that they leaned against her arms and fell asleep.
They were carefree, like angels sent by God.
"Miles? Ollie?" Catelyn whispered softly in their ears. Miles was too tired to play anymore and slept very deeply. Catelyn did not want to wake them up, so she took out a blanket to cover them. Ollie was awakened by the slight movement, so he looked at Catelyn in a daze. "Huh?"
"Tell Mummy, do you have any wish? Mummy will help you make it come true," said Catelyn with her head bowed, and tears fell out again in disobedience.
Fortunately, Ollie squinted his eyes coincidently and did not catch that. He muttered, "I want Daddy, Mummy, Miles, and me, the four of us, to be together forever." After saying that, the little guy fell asleep again unconsciously.
Catelyn almost burst into tears, but she covered her mouth and her tears just in time, still, it did not last long. Tears fell on the tiny cheeks of the little kids. She was afraid to wake them up, so she wiped them off gently, hugged them, and the cry was suppressed in her throat. "I'm sorry, my babies... I'm so sorry for you... Please forgive me."
She begged in her heart for their forgiveness for not giving up Ezekiel for them and not being able to watch Grandpa Mason hurting Ezekiel. She did not know how long she had been sitting in the car. she bit her lower lip to stabilize her emotions while driving back to Green Islands until her lip bled. When she carried Miles upstairs, she vaguely heard Miles unconsciously whispering, " Mummy, don't cry..." Catelyn stopped, then replied softly, "Okay, I won't cry."
After running twice to carry both kids upstairs, she took a shower and rested with her two children. She then packed all her stuff in her luggage. There were very few things, and it was quick to pack up-
staring at her fireworks ring, she hesitated and was still reluctant to take it off. She also put a sticky note on the bedside to remind Cedrick not to skip his meals.
When she was at the door, about to leave, her eyes fell on the King's bed in the bedroom. Just earlier that day, they were still embracing and depicting a happy future, but in the blink of an eye, it all turned into a pipe dream, which made her whole heart break again.
No matter how reluctant she was, she had no choice but to leave and give up the custody of her children.
All those happy memories in the past started flashing in her head. Then, she left without looking back ever again. She was afraid that if she did not leave this time, Grandpa Mason would really cut off her father's finger, she knew that he was never all talk.
