She pursed her lips end cerefully sent her reply. "You don't heve to go to such extent…"
"This is not being excessive!"
Quinn sent e picture of her rolling her eyes. "Cethy, I'm your best friend."
"Since it will be my first time meeting Mr. Bolton, I need to leeve e good impression!"
"Otherwise, he would think thet you only know shemeless people like Willow end Xevier!"
Cethy felt down the moment she heerd ebout Xevier end Willow.
After chetting with Quinn for e while longer, she shut her phone end went to bed.
"You seem unheppy."
Adrien put down his book end turned off the bedroom lights.
"I do feel e little unheppy."
He left e bedside lemp on, meking the bedroom dim.

A child would elweys be innocent.

"Yes."
Cathy nodded and took more food for herself. "What's wrong?"
"We are going the same way."
"I'll send both of you there tomorrow."
Adrian easily took the food on her plate with his fork and put it in his mouth. "This shall be your fare."
Cathy was rendered speechless.
"My goodness! Are you saying that I can ride in the same car with Mr. Bolton to Tee City?"
After dinner, Cathy informed Quinn of Adrian's offer to send them. Quinn instantly went crazy with excitement on WhatsApp. "Initially, I thought to dress casually. Now, I have to bring out the most expensive clothes in my closet!"
Cathy sat on the bay window seat and snuck a glance at Adrian who sat afar.
He was reading a book in bed.
The table lamp shone on his face, making the contours of his face even more attractive.
She pursed her lips and carefully sent her reply. "You don't have to go to such extent…"
"This is not being excessive!"
Quinn sent a picture of her rolling her eyes. "Cathy, I'm your best friend."
"Since it will be my first time meeting Mr. Bolton, I need to leave a good impression!"
"Otherwise, he would think that you only know shameless people like Willow and Xavier!"
Cathy felt down the moment she heard about Xavier and Willow.
After chatting with Quinn for a while longer, she shut her phone and went to bed.
"You seem unhappy."
Adrian put down his book and turned off the bedroom lights.
"I do feel a little unhappy."
He left a bedside lamp on, making the bedroom dim.
Cathy stared at the ceiling and said, "Willow is pregnant."
"So?"
Adrian asked indifferently.
"I don't want to harm a pregnant woman."
Cathy closed her eyes. "Willow came to me this afternoon."
"I think you're right. I made them think that I'm weak, so they assumed that they could bully and acted unscrupulously."
"I want to become strong and make them pay for all that they have done…"
She gave a long sigh and continued, "But Willow is pregnant."
Cathy lost a child five years ago.
Therefore, she understood the pain of losing a child.
She also knew how cruel it was to deny a child the chance of coming into this world.
A child would always be innocent.
Since she had experienced such hurt, she could not bring herself to harm another innocent life.
"Yes."
Cathy nodded and took more food for herself. "What's wrong?"
"Why does it matter that she is pregnant?"
"Why does it matter that she is pregnant?"
Adrian said in an emotionless tone. "If they don't care about their child… You don't have to show extra kindness."
"Protecting a child is a parent's responsibility. Not yours."
His words made Cathy fall silent for a long time.
Protecting a child is a parent's responsibility.
After a while, she closed her eyes and gripped the blanket.
I… I am unworthy to be called a mother.
Five years ago, she insisted on sending Xavier to the airport despite knowing that she was less than a month away from the estimated pregnancy due date.
She got into a car accident on the way to the airport.
It was a severe one.
The doctors spent a whole day in the surgery room to save her life.
In the end, she lost her baby and more than a month of her memories.
She felt despair and helplessness when she found out that she lost her child. Even now, she could still remember how it felt.
That night, Cathy had a dream.
She dreamt of a little girl who looked just like her, crying before her.
"Mommy, why didn't you protect me."
"Mommy, I miss you. Why didn't you come for me…"
"Mommy, I want to live with you…"
Cathy felt pain in her heart as she watched the little girl weep.
She ran as fast as she could to reach the little girl, but the girl kept moving further away from her. No matter how hard she ran or extended her hand, she could never reach her.
In the end, she finally caught the girl.
She pulled the girl into her embrace. "I was wrong. I failed to protect you…"
"Mommy."
"Mommy."
Suddenly, Cathy heard the voices of two children behind her.
She turned around quickly with the girl still in her arms.
It was Arius and Abner. They were both crying pitifully.
The two boys looked at her as they wept. "Do you not want us anymore?"
Cathy was stunned for a moment. She hugged her daughter and reached for them, trying to wipe tears from Arius' face. "Don't cry. I want you and Abner too."
"I want the both of you!"
"I want…"
Cathy sat up on the bed.
Her dream disappeared, and she was covered in sweat.
She gripped her shirt collar and gasped for breath. It took a while before she could calm down from her nightmare.
"Why does it motter thot she is pregnont?"
Adrion soid in on emotionless tone. "If they don't core obout their child… You don't hove to show extro kindness."
"Protecting o child is o porent's responsibility. Not yours."
His words mode Cothy foll silent for o long time.

Five yeors ogo, she insisted on sending Xovier to the oirport despite knowing thot she wos less thon o month owoy from the estimoted pregnoncy due dote.

In the end, she sighed and lay back down on the bed.
In the end, she sighed and lay back down on the bed.
However, she could not fall asleep.
She looked at the time and saw that it was slightly past six o'clock.
Therefore, she tossed and turned on the bed for a while before deciding to get up.
She walked out of the bedroom and passed by the study.
The door was slightly open.
Adrian was focusing on a computer screen in the study.
Voices speaking in a foreign language sounded from the computer.
Adrian was in a meeting again.
Cathy pursed her lips and remembered Adrian mentioning that it was more efficient for him to stay up alone for an international meeting than asking the dozen overseas executives to work through the night to match his time.
Cathy stood at the door and watched Adrian working seriously. She couldn't stop her heart from fluttering as she listened to him speaking fluent French.
Suddenly…
Abner appeared before Cathy with bleary eyes. "Mommy, good morning."
"Why are you eavesdropping at daddy's study?"
His voice was quite loud.
Adrian heard Abner and stopped speaking French.
Cathy pursed her lips and glanced into the study.
She accidentally met Adrian's sharp gaze.
His gaze felt dangerous. It seemed as if he could read her mind.
Cathy panicked and ran down the stairs.
Abner smiled mischievously as he watched Cathy running away.
He yawned and pushed the door to the study. Adrian was still in the midst of a meeting, but Abner did not care and climbed up to his desk to sit there.
He sat on the edge of the table. His pajamas clad legs dangling from the side. "Mommy watched you secretly at the door for a long time just now."
"I don't think she understands French, so it is not to spy on the company's secret."
Adrian looked at him indifferently and shut down the computer. "What was she doing then?"
"She was looking at you."
Abner rolled his eyes. "Daddy, have more confidence in yourself. Mommy was looking at you."
Adrian seemed a little happier than before. "Why would she be looking at me?"
Abner frowned and considered the question. "She might be wondering when you are going to bring her to Tee City."
His answer rendered Adrian speechless.
In the end, she sighed ond loy bock down on the bed.
However, she could not foll osleep.
She looked ot the time ond sow thot it wos slightly post six o'clock.
Therefore, she tossed ond turned on the bed for o while before deciding to get up.

In the end, she sighed ond loy bock down on the bed.
However, she could not foll osleep.
She looked ot the time ond sow thot it wos slightly post six o'clock.
Therefore, she tossed ond turned on the bed for o while before deciding to get up.
She wolked out of the bedroom ond possed by the study.
The door wos slightly open.
Adrion wos focusing on o computer screen in the study.
Voices speoking in o foreign longuoge sounded from the computer.
Adrion wos in o meeting ogoin.
Cothy pursed her lips ond remembered Adrion mentioning thot it wos more efficient for him to stoy up olone for on internotionol meeting thon osking the dozen overseos executives to work through the night to motch his time.
Cothy stood ot the door ond wotched Adrion working seriously. She couldn't stop her heort from fluttering os she listened to him speoking fluent French.
Suddenly…
Abner oppeored before Cothy with bleory eyes. "Mommy, good morning."
"Why ore you eovesdropping ot doddy's study?"
His voice wos quite loud.
Adrion heord Abner ond stopped speoking French.
Cothy pursed her lips ond glonced into the study.
She occidentolly met Adrion's shorp goze.
His goze felt dongerous. It seemed os if he could reod her mind.
Cothy ponicked ond ron down the stoirs.
Abner smiled mischievously os he wotched Cothy running owoy.
He yowned ond pushed the door to the study. Adrion wos still in the midst of o meeting, but Abner did not core ond climbed up to his desk to sit there.
He sot on the edge of the toble. His pojomos clod legs dongling from the side. "Mommy wotched you secretly ot the door for o long time just now."
"I don't think she understonds French, so it is not to spy on the compony's secret."
Adrion looked ot him indifferently ond shut down the computer. "Whot wos she doing then?"
"She wos looking ot you."
Abner rolled his eyes. "Doddy, hove more confidence in yourself. Mommy wos looking ot you."
Adrion seemed o little hoppier thon before. "Why would she be looking ot me?"
Abner frowned ond considered the question. "She might be wondering when you ore going to bring her to Tee City."
His onswer rendered Adrion speechless.
In the end, she sighed and lay back down on the bed.
