Chapter 39
Hearing her children’s names, Catherine didn’t hesitate any longer. After changing the dress, she put on a T-shirt and shorts and went downstairs.
Seeing Anderson’s car, she knocked at the window. Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
Seeing Catherine coming over, Sophia quickly opened the door of the car, throwing herself into Catherine’s arms, but her back collar was grabbed by the man sitting behind her.
“Daddy, I want Mommy.” Sophia looked back at Anderson in anger.
Anderson didn’t release her. He cast a cold glance at Catherine. “Get in.”
Catherine was reluctant, but thinking about her children, she sat in the car obediently. The door was closed. Anderson said to the driver, “Ziting Villa.”
After finishing his words, he released Sophia’s collar. Sophia nestled in Catherine’s arms instantly. “Mommy, I miss you. Do you miss me?”
“Of course, I do.” Facing her children, Catherine’s smile was true and deep. Lincoln was also sitting next to her, looking at her dearly. Catherine lowered her head and asked, “Sophia, have you studied hard?”
“Yes, I have. The new school that Daddy transferred me to is so big. All teachers there are quite beautiful. The most important is that I’m with Lincoln,” Sophia shared her life in the new school with a smile.
Seeing her as lively as ever, Catherine breathed a sigh of relief inwardly. Suddenly, Sophia became down. “Mommy, won’t you stay with us anymore in the future?” Catherine didn’t expect that Sophia would raise such a question. For a moment, she didn’t know how to answer.
Sophia lay on Catherine and said with a grievance, “I saw a woman coming out from Daddy’s bedroom the other day. She said you have divorced Daddy. She’ll become my Mommy in the future.
“I don’t want another woman to be Mommy.” As if she had recalled something aggrieved, Sophia started whimpering, her dropping tears wet Catherin’s T-shirt.
Catherine still didn’t know how to explain to Sophia, patting on her back gently.
“Mommy, can’t you live with Daddy?” The crying Sophia looked at Catherine pitifully.
Her answer was not expected by this little girl. When Anderson heard what Sophia asked, his deep eyes fell on Catherine. However, Catherine was fully focused on Sophia without noticing the man sitting aside at all.
“Sophia, stop bothering Mommy,” said Lincoln in a light tone.
“Daddy and Mommy divorced. They’ll not live together in the future.” Although he was only five years old, he looked calmer than Catherine.
Sophia bit her lower lip, still looking wronged.
Lincoln took her small hand. “Daddy and Mommy will have their own families in the future. They may give birth to other babies. But, Sophia, do remember that Mommy still loves us. We’ll have two mommies and two daddies in the future. There would be four persons to love you, Sophia.”
Upon hearing it, Catherine felt heartbroken.
She knew Lincoln understood everything.
“Mommy, I don’t want another man to be Daddy. I don’t want another woman to be Mommy.” Sophia burst into tears. Catherine felt that her heart was gripped tightly. “I’ll try to keep you by my side.”
She repeated it again and again, her eyes reddened. Sophia fell asleep in her arms after getting tired while crying. After arriving at Ziting Villa, Anderson glanced at Paul. “Take Sophia and Lincoln back to their rooms.”
“Bye, Mommy.” Lincoln bid with Catherine farewell calmly.
Catherine bent over and kissed him on the forehead. “I’ll love you guys forever.”
Lincoln smiled shyly. “I love you forever, too, Mommy.”
After the children were gone, Catherine turned around and intended to go back home with a cold look.
She just took one step forward, but her wrist was grabbed by Anderson. He pulled her into his arms immediately, lowered his head, and kissed her lips in a domineering manner.
Off guard, Catherine was kissed so suddenly. She stared at Anderson calmly and indifferently without any warmth or fluctuation, which immediately disgusted the man.
Anderson covered her eyes with his palm. After the kiss, Catherine wiped her lips fiercely. She spat on the floor with disgust. “Anderson Clark, you really make me sick!” ‘Sick! Anderson couldn’t help reechoing this word in his mind.
He sneered, pressed her into the backseat, and raised her chin with his slender fingers. “You think I’m disgusting? You just broke up with Owen not long ago. Now you are with Ethan James. There’s Antonio Elliot as well. You also have the group of money boys in Sky Club. And you said I make you sick?”
She knew clearly what kind of relationship between Ethan and herself.
“What does it have anything to do with Antonio? Stop slandering me. At least, I didn’t bring those guys home and let them show up in front of Sophia!” said Catherine in anger.
Her attitude made Anderson believe that she had admitted her relationships with Owen and Ethan. Anderson looked more annoyed, reaching out to strangle her neck. Catherine struggled hard. She was extremely angry that she lost her mind.
Catherine was trembling all over her body, wondering why he would always like this whenever they met. “Cut ties with those men,” Anderson ordered.
The more he behaved so, the more Catherine refused to talk. She was born proud. She used to be humble just because she loved him.
Anderson saw her keep silent, cruelty raising in his voice. “Did you hear me?”
“Anderson Clark, kill me if you can. Don’t use my children to threaten me.” Catherine was furious, the coldness in her eyes making her look like an elegant swan.
Her elegance and pride annoyed the man so much that he wanted to ruin them.
Catherine was still struggling hard. While struggling, her T-shirt was torn off, exposing her fair skin.
Anderson’s gaze fell on her skin and couldn’t move away.
Catherine knew clearly what was in his eyes. She roared herself hoarse, “Don’t do it here!”
Anderson bit her earlobe. “I chose not to listen to you.”
He didn’t love her, so even her breath would be a fault in his eyes. He had never pitied her or cared about her.
Catherine was lying prone on the backseat, her tears falling. She couldn’t tell if it was because of the pain or the humiliation.
She turned around her head, stared at Anderson with her reddened eyes, and said maliciously, “Anderson Clark, you are trash, asshole, scumbag!”
The man was irritated completely. “Bitch!”
Catherine laughed out, tears falling from the corners of her eyes.
Since she had felt the pain at the extreme, seemingly she couldn’t feel the pain anymore.
Seemingly the man felt it was not comfortable to do it in the car, he carried her from the car to his bed.
Catherine tried her best to hold on so that she didn’t faint. When Anderson when to take a shower, she simply tidied herself up. Her T-shirt was torn apart but her denim shorts were all right. She took a shirt from Anderson’s closet and put it on. Then she limped to the entrance of the villa. She hailed a taxi and went back home in embarrassment.
She walked into the bathroom directly. Under the cold water, she seemed not to notice the temperature at all, just cleaning herself again and again. In the end, she couldn’t help crying silently while huddling up on the ground.
She was also a human being.
She could feel hurt, sad, and heartbroken.
She couldn’t understand why Anderson always thought that he could hurt her as much as he wanted. Anderson came out of the bathroom and saw the empty room. He was taken aback for a moment.
The woman who was just there had disappeared. In the room, only her torn T-shirt and scent were left…
